El Ranchito Restaurant & Foodmarket is a family-owned business proudly serving Haines City since 2005. Though we’re a small restaurant with a handful of tables, our passion for authentic Mexican and Latin American food is anything but small. Alongside our kitchen, we offer a full grocery market with fresh produce, quality meats, and essential Latin products. From our family to yours, every visit feels like coming home.
Homespun, family-owned Mexican eatery with classic dishes & an adjacent Latin food market.

Hidden Gem full of authentic flavors. Grocery store side has low prices on meats. Small produce section but all your basics are there. Specialty snacks. Prepared food is soon good! They have a hot food bar that has everything from chicken to goat and all the sides. They have a small area you can sit down at. We came for some groceries and got some tacos to go, in the picture. Highly recommend the pastor but we had pollo and asada and all were fantastic. Nice staff and all the cashiers speak English if you dont speak Spanish. Very friendly staff if you find yourself in traffic on 17 its a nice place to stop for a snack and very food prices.

Came here with family for the first time. Ordered tacos and carne asada. Maria was so helpful. The food was awesome. The ambiance was very good. It is a simple sit down place but everything was awesome!

Service was good, food was good, good size portions. Taco were good, nice heat with the salsa. Bistec/rice/beans were all ok. Caldo de Res was ok. Seemed like the meats could of used more seasoning.

Very Bad … I order a delivery, food and drinks, and I didn’t recive the drink, when I call, the person was very aggressive and disrespectful, and even when I was calm they hung up the phone on me 3 time.. they charged me for it… they want me to go and pick it up, and I tell them I have a medical condition and that’s why I pay for the livery.
It was the first time and I won’t buy in that place no more.

This place truly has the best food and service in town. Every Sunday, I treat myself to their amazing tongue burrito, but honestly, everything on the menu is fantastic! Ana and Miriam consistently offer such warm, attentive service, making every visit feel special. It’s one of the many reasons my family and I return week after week. I always look forward to our weekends here!

First time to eat here. It was very delicious. My husband had the beef fajitas and I had the fajita mix. We tried the hot red salsa and it was very good. Picked my son up a bottle of hot sauce and also some fresh shrimp as we left.

Looks sketchy from the outside but once you are in the ladies there take good care of you. The food is on point and price is fair. I highly recommend there tacos and hot table items.

The place is nice! I love the decoration, it has a great menu, but, the food needs more flavor, better protein marinades, More love, more seasoning in the dishes, I am sure it place will be one of the best Mexican food everyone wants to eat.

I recently visited El Ranchito and had a positive experience thanks to Maria, who provided outstanding service. She was attentive and very friendly, making sure I felt comfortable throughout my visit she also recommended that I try the beef ribs which were amazing. However, the place could improve its comfort level, as it was quite warm during my time there due to the lack of air conditioning. Overall, a good dining experience with excellent service, but adding AC would enhance the overall atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

Wow! Finally… an authentic Mexican restaurant in central Florida worth recognizing. The food is delicious here. The chicken mole is the best we’ve had in years. The steaks were tender and the beans were seasoned perfectly. The tortillas are hand made. The staff was very friendly and inviting. We’ll be back for more.
