It is a very welcoming place. I’ve been in there quite a few times I absolutely love their food all of it is amazing and delicious I’m originally from San Diego California and also I’m Mexican and their food is close to the food I’m used too so I really recommend this place to anyone that wants real authentic Mexican food
Ranchito #2 isn’t just a Mexican restaurant in Enumclaw—it’s a local landmark. It’s the kind of place people mention by name when you ask where to eat, and for good reason. The atmosphere feels familiar and comfortable, whether you’ve been coming for years or it’s your first visit. You walk in and immediately feel like you’re exactly where you should be.
Service plays a big role in that, especially if you’re lucky enough to get Maria as your waitress. She’s consistently friendly, fast, and attentive without ever hovering. She remembers faces, keeps drinks full, and makes sure everything comes out right. You leave feeling taken care of, not rushed, which is harder to find than it should be.
And then there are the chips, beans, and salsa. The fresh chips arrive warm and crisp, the salsa hits that perfect balance of flavor and heat, and the refried bean dip is on another level. Rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, it’s honestly one of the best things in the world. It’s the kind of appetizer you keep ordering more of, even when you swear you’re saving room for your meal.
Portions are generous, prices feel fair, and the food delivers comfort every single time. Ranchito has earned its place as an Enumclaw favorite by doing the basics incredibly well and treating people right. If you want great Mexican food, unforgettable chips and beans, and service that makes you feel at home, this place delivers every time.
Also, great pick up option -they package everything up for you, including delicious salsa!

5 stars for what it is.... a Mexican Restaraunt. We eat here often and it's just good and consistent. It is not a Michelin Star Restaraunt but it's good. Joge' the server makes sure everyone feels special. The platters are huge and sharable. They make good mixed drinks. I like to get the beef or chicken carnitas and share it. 2 people can eat for $24 total. Ask for Pico deallo and refried beans with your chips and salsa. Ask for a fried jalapeño with your dinner. They make a great margarita but order the large (Grande) one and they give a heavy pour.

They fed me a seemingly day-old carne Asada that was cooked black with zero moisture. J saw a weird look in the eye of the guy who came out from the kitchen and grabbed the manager only to come out 10 minutes later with our food bagged and stapled and ready to take home. Of course, I was pissed when I saw it but we live rurally and they closed right when I I left. I also would have complained sooner but I've been in the hospital for 4 days with a life-threatening bowel obstruction that the surgeon confirmed was the Carne Asada Asada dried leather they fed me. Looks like the ordeal ordered irreversible kidney damage as well. It's obvious to me that the young man came out of the kitchen and did the right thing to tell his manager that either the grill was shut down or they were out of Carne Asada meat to cook ( the neighbors' original restaurant had also run out of meat that day as well. Instead of the manager doing the right thing and telling me,' it looks like they decided to either give me something that had been returned or cook the morning before to chop up for their Carne Asada burritos. Either way, the decision to keep my $50 knowing I was taking it home and they'd be closed by the time I got back, early killed killed me and caused GREAT suffering, a permanent kidney injury approved by before and after blood test, and the diag sis by a trained bowel surgeon. I'm waiting till Monday to contact an attorney to see what they offer for an apology, which I have no doubt will be nothing but denial. I know how their entire restaurant only had one couldn't it, and there was likely finally financial pressure to make a buck, but the amount of suffering it caused for a total of 5 days and nights, and permanent damage in retrospect may have been the best financial, let alone ethical decision to make. Good luck if you plan to go there!

Ordered Ranchitos nachos with shredded beef. We were sitting in the lounge upstairs watching the Mariners play Toronto on s Sunday. Not sure what we got. There seemed to be a few tortilla chips covered with a pile of beef on top hardly any cheese. The beef was kind of stuck together so you had to use a fork to separate it. I kept looking for chips. This place is our go to for Mexican food . Must have been an off night. Not sure how you mess up nachos though.

Amazing food and beautiful restaurant. Staff is super sweet and nice. The food is incredible, the food has so many flavors and the chicken fajitas was juicy and delicious! The shrimp/prawns didn’t have a fishy taste and were super good!
