Cozy little restaurant and bakery…all the pan Dulce is hard to choose from… I did not get to try the tamales or the fresh chicharrones (pork rinds) because I couldn’t even finish my plate… horchata was good… and the complimentary homemade soup was an awesome touch to start the meal off… queso was a little runny but was still standard for queso… you can’t go wrong with huevos y chorizo (eggs and Mexican sausage)… breakfast taco with sausage and agh again pretty standard but again good… the chilaquiles endiablados were phenomenal..! Definitely hit the spot with the tortillas de maíz (corn tortillas)… rice and frijoles were both standard/good…
Service was friendly and efficient… restaurant was clean…

I had a chance to stop by & this place was right on time due to an early morning appointment that i had & a craving for s . I was surprised to find a Mexican restaurant open before 10 a.m.
The place is cozy with a dine in area to the left upon entry and a small but efficient grocery/bakery to the right. I ended up buying 3 s and 2 and steak fajita dinners, 3 containers of seasonings that I needed lol, and 6 beautiful pastry items that only cost $6 yep… only $6 & a large orchata. So yes… so much for only buying s right?
The food was awesome , perfectly seasoned, and just damm good! I was like a kid in a store. I wanted 1 of every pastry item they had for sale, but I exercised SOME self-control. Hobart has some hidden s, and El Ranchero is one of them. It’s definitely not a trip wasted from Crown Point. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll be back

Located in new Chicago Indiana, this restaurant, grocery store is a homey local mom and pop shop. Of course, not to be discounted for that at all. They have a bakery and small grocery store with Hispanic flare. I’m not familiar with all of the Hispanic items in the bakery, but they sure looked tasty. As for the restaurant, our orders were hot and tasty. Service was quick and kind. The restaurant was clean and neat, located with plenty of free parking. They offer delivery. Overall, certainly worth trying, I think you’ll enjoy the experience. NOTE they are closed Mondays and open 9-6 Tuesday-Saturday, Sunday close at 3.

This is the spot for Menudo. It’s not greasy or smelly. You can order it with or without hominy. The chilaquiles verdes are good too.
Pretty good spot for being my first time here. This is the spot!

Food was mediocre and not very flavorful. I never have to add salt to my food but I did here. Michelada was missing something just not sure what. Our server was nice, messed up the order but quickly fixed it.

Nice little Mom and Pop Mexican restaurant. I stopped in for breakfast and liked that they serve you a small bowl of soothing broth , noodles and vegetables before your meal. I had the chorizo and eggs with rice and frijoles and hot harina tortillas. Nice way to start my day. I’ll be back to try more.
