El Rancho Restaurant is known for its popular Mexican food, with standout dishes being the fajita tacos, enchiladas, and fajita quesadilla. The sweet tea is also a customer favorite. The restaurant offers breakfast, with options like 2 eggs, potatoes, refried beans, and bacon, served 24/7. Many visitors enjoy their bistek tacos and caldo de res soup, often praising the flan with extra caramel sauce as the best they have ever had. The place is clean, and staff are friendly and quick to check on customers. It is mainly Spanish-speaking but fast and polite. The restaurant serves hot milk with coffee, keeping drinks nice and hot through the meal. For lunch or dinner, carne guisada and chicken flautas are highly recommended, and the tortillas are made from scratch with love. Although chips and salsa are now charged, many find the food tasty every time and consider it a regular spot for breakfast and meals. Parking can be a challenge due to its popularity, and the place can get loud, but the overall experience remains positive. The restrooms are clean, and the restaurant remains a favorite for late-night breakfast tacos and dishes like Pancho’s with fajitas, especially for visitors to Harlingen or the valley.
