This spot serves some of the most authentic Mexican flavors I’ve had outside of my mom’s kitchen. Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, especially the tacos, which are hands down some of the best around. The quality of the food is excellent for the price, making it a great value overall. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, and the owner always greets customers with a big smile, which adds to the experience. Just keep in mind it’s cash only—but it’s absolutely worth the stop.

My coworker put me on to this place. Apparently they make *one* batch of carnitas a day, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. The carnitas is good. Mild and not super greasy like other spots. We always get the carnitas burritos. Their green salsa is spicier, but the red tastes better. I can’t speak on the other food but the carnitas burritos are bomb!

For over 25 years I have past this place, then this morning I was working in front of the restaurant and stopped and ordered the BBQ Burrito. Let me tell you it was fire I have a lot of years of making up to do. A diamond in the hood! The people that work there are great and patient. Please stop and support.

El Ranchito had four tables set up under a permanent awning for dine in. I ordered a carneasada burrito. The staff rattled off everything in the burrito and if there was something you didn’t want you flagged that item. Cash only for payment. My burrito arrived with no fork or spoon. I ate the burrito holding it with my hands, the texture was soft and moist with no juice dripping from the burrito. Taste was very good, smell enticing and my mouth had a pepper sensation but not a burning sensation that lasted a good twenty minutes after the meal. Just incredible. I’ve walked over 30 miles of South Central LA and my lunch today topped all burritos I’ve eaten not just in South Central LA but LA in general! Staff was friendly, courteous and fast!

This place is the BOMB!
I married the oldest brother of the four a few years ago. I’m originally from
Alaska and I have to say that Chuy, Edgar, Evi and Jesus senior are some of the most respectful and honest people I have met. They have owned and operated this place for 39 years and counting.
They sure put a lot of love into their food and you have to try it to know what I’m talking about.
South Central’s best taco shop!!
