CONSUMERS BEWARE!!! NO PRICE TRANSPARENCY!!! The food was ok. However I didn’t like the lack of transparency in its pricing from menu to billing. If one pays attention, they will overcharge. I paid more for the food ordered from a few cents to almost a dollar and cents more. I let the lady know about this and she responded that there was a price difference between cash and card use. I got my bill before taking my wallet out. There was no way she would know my method of payment. The prices on the register system are higher than on the wall menu and even higher on the handheld menus. Not going there again. Must be reported to Consumer Protection Agency of the State of California and to local chamber of commerce for lack of price transparency. Prices on menus should reflect the ones on your register. Not fair for consumers.

Upon arriving, it looks like your small, typical Mexican food, mom and pop restaurant. Do not let that discourage you from trying their food. We were greeted very kindly and welcoming by the staff.
They have a pretty broad menu with your typical dishes and other delicious items. I stopped by Sunday, December 15 with my girlfriend, and we were interested in trying a variety of items which did not disappoint.
My only negative experience here was the restroom not being properly attended to .
The food was brought to my table in a reasonable timely manner. Come try this place, I know will soon be coming back.

Had the Chile Verde plate, it was actually really good the green chile was a bit spicy to my liking. The food and restaurant has a “momma’s food” feel. Just a tad pricey. I recommend

The food is delicious. The portion size are decent. Very authentic. Service was good we dine in for breakfast. A bit pricey for being a hole in the wall. Easy spending 20+ a person for plate and drink. Drinks can go up to 6 bucks natural juice 9 bucks. It can add up easily with plate prices over 15 19 bucks average. It is delicious tho but a bit over price. Very clean place worth mentioning.

Decided to give this place a chance, despite reading the reviews.
I regret doing so. The food portions are really small for what they are charging.
I opened the plates to make sure they were accurate. Upon doing so I realized that it was not sufficient and had to place more food orders to compensate.
Had to wait 30 plus minutes for the newly ordered food. By the time I got home, the other food was barely warm.
I understand inflation and whatnot, but this is just unbelievable. Sadly, their food was good but I can’t justify paying what I paid for, for the very little food that I received.

Went on my moms bday today the server was rude messed up like 5 times and didn’t even apologize nor did she try to fix it my mom asked for no onion and when we told her they put onion she said she was just going to take off the onion but give her back the same plate people don’t understand if someone doesn’t like onion once it’s on their food it tastes and smells very strong. She messed up my bfs order. she overcharged us we had to tell her and she had an attitude about it not to mention we waited about 45 min for our food and she had the audacity to say “you guys came at a bad time” horrible service from this lady.

Everything that I’ve tried on the menu is delicious and the service is outstanding! The servers are always friendly and pleasant. I wish every restaurant had such great employees and service. I highly recommend giving El Ranchero a try! Ask for Teresa, she is the best server on the planet!!
