After the Lava Beds National Park, we went to Dorris, CA to eat at El Ranchito. We had seen it as we passed through the small town on our way to Lassen Volcanic NP on Saturday.
It is a small “hole in the wall” restaurant in a very small town. The owners have been able to stay in business for 20 years and they had a lot of locals dropping in. So, you know the food is good.
The food, service, and atmosphere were great.
My wife had the Enchiladas and I had the Fajitas Ranchros. The food was delicious and the owners were great to talk with.
We highly recommend this really good place to eat.

The birria tacos were so good! Honestly, probably the best I’ve ever tasted. Nice, family run restaurant as well. You won’t regret stopping in!

Great tacos, out of expectation. I had birria asada and carnita tacos, the birria taco was the best I ever had.Definitely recommend birria tacos if you pass by.

Not sure why they put lettuce in their tacos, but they do have spicy salsa. Generous portion/ size of tacos and burritos.

Wow!! Amazing!! The best chicken fajitas that I’ve ever had!! I’m Hispanic myself and had my share of eating plenty of chicken fajitas and none of them have tasted so good and juicy like theirs!! Wow

Absolutely delicious – and had a deep family, authentic, home-cooked flavour and feel. We were lucky to have found this spot en route to Oregon. We will make it a destination on future road trips!

We drove through this little town after spending Labor Day at the Gorge. I looked at reviews and picked this cute little spot. So happy I did. We had carnitas, shredded beef dish, and fajitas. Everything was super flavorful.
Everyone we encountered that worked there were sweet.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
