This place is amazing. Took my 4 oldest kids her on Sunday. I’ve been here before and have been telling them for months I wanted to share this special place with them.
Boom. We had a great time and the food was fire, but to be honest this time the best part was our server Eddie!!! He stole the show. So nice and pleasant, and it was clear he had a passion to serve us and meet our needs. Eddie you are a shining star and they are lucky to have you.
We started with the Super Nachos & drinks, followed by burritos, tacos, and Birria!!!
Definitely coming back many times and clearly would recommend this establishment if you’re looking for quality food & Service.

I ordered chicken chilaquiles and they gave me carnitas chilaquiles, and I don’t eat pork, it’s terrible. Plus, I asked for hot sauce and they wanted to charge me an extra $2, so now you know, this restaurant charges extra for hot sauce.

El Ranchero is BY FAR the most delicious Mexican food around with very friendly staff! Thank you for the incredible meal, we look forward to many more!

It’s all in that green sauce…it’s delicious on everything from the chips to your dish. The horchata was delicious as well as we ordered 2x lg ones & very filling. Wonderful experience & we will surely come back again!

Dined in, Saturday, 09/07/2024, approximately 7:30 p.
This is the second time eating here. The first time service was too slow and the food was not where it should have been (just over a year ago). This time the food was good and service efficient. Chicken Tacos with ample amount of grilled chicken, plenty of salsa on hand; that you did not have to ask for more. Guacamole was fresh and good, could have been slightly more spicy. Horchata was good. The place appeared clean. Check was correct / prices matched menu. I would give this place another try.

UPDATE TO THE ABOVE REVIEW.
THE REVIEW FOR THE FOOD REDUCED TO ONE STAR.
Since the above review we have eaten here a couple of times.
Including one time when we talked with the Owner ( Son ) whom seemed nice and we shared about ourselves; that my Spouse is from Mexico. And I obviously being a white ( Caucasian ) male.
Fast forward to today.

The same owner (Son) brought food out to other patrons, ( the other tables were all Latino), talked with them even though all the tables were waited on by Eduardo. The owner walked past us 3 times not even saying hello, which I thought was odd.
We waited over 30 minutes for our food.
My entree was not good. A Burrito with ground Beef that was swimming in grease.
It had alot of meat, but very little rice and beans. I had requested pico de gallo instead of fries, which was a tiny portion that was like diced tomatoes.
I complained to the Server, and said I would take it to go.
Eduardo ( Eddy ) is a VERY GOOD SERVER whom we know from another restaurant. He was very apologetic, brought a to-go container and the check which had the Burrito removed.
The Owner never stepped out to speak with us.
I asked Eduardo whose suggestion it was to remove it from the check, he replied it was his, ( not the owner.)
I shared my other concerns of other than the food,with Eduardo to pass along to management.
I cannot say for sure, but only time will tell if my assumptions are right.
Anyone whom is similar to my Spouse and I, should observe if they are treated differently.
I will not return to patronize / support this business again.
With intent, I left the Burritto in the to go container there. The waiter was tipped on what would have been the full check.
Both photos are of the final visit.

To begin, this review is based on a catering service not a dine in experience I had with the restaurant. I had an event catered by them at their banquet hall called Babylonia Banquet Hall located in the old K-mart plaza. The owner was very personable, made us comfortable with making sure we got everything we wanted. When deciding on the menu it was an easy process with no issues with my requests. The day of the event the staff arrived on time to set up the buffet, and the service was executed well. No complaints. We got positive feedback from our guests stating that the food was very good with a top favorite being the Molcajete Ranchero. The price was reasonable for the amount of food we received. Overall I would recommend it to friends and family, good service and true authentic Mexican food. Thank you Rodrigo and Mercedes!

Very good food. Authentic Mexican style cuisine really enjoyed the food. Give it a try when you’re at the shore or just going out for a meal

Very nice restaurant but located on a major road with limited parking. My fave is the shrimp burrito with fries or salad and rice.
