I regrettably had no idea El Rancho existed until last night. We had a craving for Mexican food but wanted to try somewhere new, El Rancho popped up and we decided to give it a try. A really amazing meal, great cocktails, and extremely sweet staff. We’ll definitely be returning and I recommend you give it a try too.

Truly wonderful experience! The food was incredibly fresh and much more authentic than other local sit down restaurants. Portions were huge with lots of kids meal options. Kind, friendly, and quick service – and super clean. I think we’ve found our new favorite local Mexican restaurant!

We had a great meal here. Staff are excellent and the food was amazing. The birria nachos are awesome and their chips are homemade and delicious. Overall an excellent experience and a hidden gem!

Had a very nice meal. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient. Restaurant was nicely decorated in a Mexican theme. I ordered the steak, shrimp and chicken fajitas. The presentation and portion were both very good (enough for an ample lunch). The fajitas were cooked nicely and very tasty!

The food is def homemade and great flavors. Staff is wonderful and its a cute bar and dining setting. The drinks are also delicious. Its my 8th time since they open. The mole, chicken soup and fried snapper are packed with flavors. The concha is so good. Ive had many other items but haven’t taken photos. I have yet to find one menu item I’m not fond of.

The non-profit organization I work for held an annual reception for 100 people, El Rancho’s catering was the talk of the evening! Our need for vegan options was answered with delicious Potato Flautas and Tamales. The portion sizes for our order were incredibly generous. Isidra and her team were amazing to work with, no detail was left out! An overall exceptional experience!

100% a hidden gem. I cannot express how amazingly delicious this was, everything was made fresh, nothing tasted frozen or old. The service was fast and attentive. Would 1000% come back.

Wow! A hidden gem. I found out about this place through the Albany subreddit actually, and I’m so happy I did. The birria nachos were one of the most delicious things I have tasted. I got the molcajete which was phenomenal and my husband got the alambre. They have homemade tortillas people!!! It was just an incredible dining experience from start to finish. Beautifully decorated and just a nice atmosphere with attentive waitstaff and incredible food. Will definitely be back!

We were in Albany two nights. We wanted a good Mexican restaurant and there appeared to be several good ones nearby. We liked the extensive menu and decided to go. Complementary chips and salsa were warm and fresh. Excellent. My wife ordered the Birria, essentially delicious beef tacos and loaded with meat. I had the regular tacos with enchiladas (spicy pork). As good as any tacos I’ve had in the Eastern US. Both entrees came with black beans and rice, hot and seasoned. Our drinks were also great. Service by Jeeny was attentive but not obtrusive. It’s a large room with a few beautiful murals/paintings on the walls.
So good we went back the very next night. I had the exact same tacos, just as good a night later. My wife had the alambre and it was a very generous portion. Really great restaurant. Our server, Nancy, explained the one painting on the wall of seven Mexican women. We’ll absolutely return the next time we’re in Albany.

This place is amazing. The food is authentic and flavorful. Had the Molcajete and Carne Asada Con Camarones. The Molcajete was out of this world and the presentation was as immaculate! The carne asada was cooked to order and delicious. This is so different than all of the other Mexican restaurants in the area. Cannot wait to go back!
