Super SMALL Location in Kelso.
Approximately 5 Tables MAX & a 4 Barstool’d Area.
Was Unsure if It Was In Any Way Connected to the “El Ranchero in Longview” – as I Dig That Place… But Always Dislike Going There w/ the Large Crowds/Wait!
Just Got Water *as I Would Refer to Myself as a “Water Snob/Afficionado” – and If the Water is Then I’m Usually Discouraged On the Upcoming Food. (It’s Weird- I Knowwwww). But the Water was Good- and I Went for Refills.
1 Other Table (2-Top) in the Restaurant, and a To-Go Order Came in While We Were There!
Lady that was Waiting on my Daughter & I Was Super Nice & Attentive!
The Chips (Store Bought, But Warmed) & Salsa was Good, and She Happily Gave a Refill of Both.
Food Took AWHILE (for There Only Being 2 Tables in the Place) & Came About 40 Mins Later HOT!!! *Like Not Able to Eat ANYTHING Off of the Plate HOTTTTTT (as It was Probably Sitting Under a Heat Lamp Waiting for my Daughters Food to Finish Being Made). Daughter Got Carne Asada Fries (Fries, Beans, Meat & Cheese) *She’s a Picky-Eater! They Didn’t Have a “Carne Asada Fries” Option on the Menu- But She Was Happy to Accommodate the Request. I Got the Tamale/Enchilada Plate w/ Beans/Rice. You Could Choose Which Meat Option You Wanted on the Enchilada (Between Ground Beef, Chicken, Cheese or Picadillo/Shredded Beef).
I Dug Her Carne Asada Fries (She Did’t)- The Fries Didn’t Come Out Flimsy, Mushy or Grossly “Wet” & There was an “Abundance” of Items on the Plate (Buttttttt the Carne Asada was SCARCE)! Guess They Were Banking on Putting a Heap Full of Fries and Beans to Mask That There Wasn’t a Great Deal of Actual Meat on There?!? = $17
My Picadillo Enchilada was Good (Not Great) – There was a Lot of Meat in That) and the Enchillada Sauce on It was Good. The Tamale was Mainly Masa (Not a Lot of Actual “Meat” Filling) & Topped w/ the Same Enchilada Sauce as the Enchilada Was. The Beans Were OK, Not a Lot of Actual “Beans” in the Mix, But Not Runny Like Other Places We’ve Been To. The Rice was Saddening (It Tasted Like Regular Rice w/ a Light Dusting of Tomato Sauce in It). Was a Bit Dry & Tasteless. $17
The Portions Were Good, But the Food Flavor was Lackluster!!!!
*I Had High Hopes- Since They Share the “Ranchero” Name (Like the Longview Option)
It Was Good, Edible & Decently Priced – So Eat There, If It’s Close & Convenient for You!
^^^ But There Definitely are OTHER Options Around That Price Point for Better Food @ a Less Wait-Time!

I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s just a happy Hispanic couple cooking up some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. They are always happy to see you come in, give great service, and amazing food.

Humble mom and pop restaurant. The service was great and food was delicious. It’s not traditional but I thoroughly enjoyed the food. Try the shredded beef taquitos!

What an amazing pit stop. I got off the I5 taking a gamble and found this treasure. Clean, respectful, and delicious. Really cares about the customer.

We were passing by on I5 and happened to find El Ranchero on Google maps. I’m so glad we did. It was the best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. All home made and extremely tasty. Highly recommended!

I want to take the time to say thank you to the Fabian and his family!!! This restaurant has been amazing and my family so happy we get to enjoy such great food and atmosphere. I know I can speak for most of us that live in lexington that this is by far the best Mexican restaurant around and man are there plenty in this area. My family will continue to show our support and I hope many will aswell. Thank you again for being apart of our community.

Excellent food and drinks. I joined friends here that live in the area and it is one of their absolute favorite restaurants and Mexican food spots. They have tried a lot of Mexican food spots since they have Hispanic heritage so I trust their judgment. They weren’t wrong.
The server was a lovely woman who cracked some really funny jokes and had a warm genuine smile. It’s always a good time when you find service that takes care of your food and is fun to engage with. Would come again!

The menu said one price they said it was a different price very small portion very overpriced never fills up your salsa and chips. You get one serving of salsa and chips and that’s it.
