Rancheritos de Boca

Excelente sabor en todos sus platos, la atención es insuperable y precios accesibles.

Horrible experience
Roach in my food

Ordered a coffee from Rancheritos and this is what she gave gave us a three inch cup of cortadito for $ 5.30…It also took her 30 minutes to get us the coffee because she rather take the order from a man who got there 10 min after us.

This place wasn’t terrible. The people were nice. Weird novellas playing. We ordered the chicken milenesa, which I thought had sauce and cheese usually but it didn’t. It was just alright food.

I stop here for an espresso w/​milk and sugar when I am on the go! YUM!
Everyone is very friendly and they have delicious assortment of food.

I’ll be back for the Arepa de Chocolo con Queso alone. So good. The salty/​sweet thing going on was delicious.
Service was excellent. Friendly and helpful for this Columbian food newbie.

The food is great but service needs improvement seriously… I went with my son and we wait about 25 min to put the order and 30 min after we finish to get our check.

Best Colombian food ever! Empanadas are amazing! Always worth the hour drive from south beach.

Cute little restaurant. Service was quick and attentive. The inside of the restaurant is small and welcoming. Hot chocolate was delicious! The food Was flavorful.

I don’t even know how it’s possible for this place to have over 4 stars. If I could leave negative stars I would. Absolutely disgusting ! I ordered the typical Colombian platter, being Spanish myself I’ve had this item many times. It was flavorless. Overly cooked and my steak was OLD .
I also ordered the cheese arepa (sweet corn) and it was extremely dry !
Worst $ 22 spent, I will not be back … Check out some other places before going here

Within the first 10 minutes of sitting down, my experience at this very small Latin restaurant was negative and here is why:
After ordering and having my drink served, the waiter asked me if I was ready to order something else so I ordered two beef Colombian empanadas yet she brings me chicken, I let it go because I was hungry… she then asked me if I was ready to order my main plate so I asked her to give me a few minutes and that I’ll let her know, within 5 minutes she asked me 3 more times if I was ready to order my food; when I had already let her know by the third time that when I was ready I would let her know. I ended up ordering a bandeja paisa, got it but without the arepa… wth…I felt rushed, and their was the incident with the arepa, I want to know what happened to my arepa? Did she eat it, or the kitchen staff forget to add it to my plate? I want to know.
the food was okay. The service was okay. It’s 2015, step your game up.
Sincerely,
The guy who will never ever come to your establishment again!

This place is by far my favorite Colombian restaurant. Their food is so delicious! My favorite is the cheese they put on top of their arepas & the sauce they serve with their empanadas which are also great!

Awesome food!!! Great attention and friendly. I really love their food. They also have live music on Saturdays. When I got here to pick up my order I was greeted very nice

I wasn’t in the mood for anything too spicy or heavy, so I decided to try the Colombian restaurant as I know this style of cuisine is relatively bland for most dishes. Rancheritos is very close to my house and have heard so many good things about. Was thinking this is the perfect opportunity to introduce my pre-​teen daughter to another ethnic food.
THE SERVICE
When we arrive we were greeted promptly and told to sit anywhere. We were the only ones at the restaurant at this time. Within 5 minutes 3 other parties of 4 showed up and were seated. Each of the other parties were speaking Spanish, which is usually a good sign when the people match the food. The single waitress waited on each of the other 3 tables first, before taking our drink order, even though we were the first to arrive. I didn’t pay too much attention to it at the time. After she gave us our drinks, she then took all the other tables orders. Another party walked in, and she waited on them before returning to us. At this point I was feeling like we were being left our because we were not Spanish speaking. My daughter kept asking me if we need to go up to the cash register to order, and I kept reassuring her that the waitress will take our order. Finally, when we were waited on I decided to order Empanadas and an Arepa with Fried Pork Skin as appetizers. The children’s portion of the menu was only in Spanish. Although I know some Spanish, I didn’t know all of the words, so I asked for help. There was a photo of sliced sausages which my daughter wanted and the waitress confirmed that was what was on the children’s menu. So I ordered that for my daughter. I asked the waitress to choose the very best item on the menu for me, since it was my first time. She told me their best dish was Churrasco. I have had that many times before, but decided to order anyway since it was their signature dish.
The menu says everything is prepared to order and will take 16 minutes. I thought it was funny that they didn’t write 15 minutes. So I was prepared to wait.
THE FOOD
Much to my surprise, the Empanadas arrived within 3 minutes, followed by the Arepa with Fried Pork Skin a couple of minutes later. Although we ordered last, we were the first ones to get our food. So I was thinking that all was good.
We had 2 chicken and 2 beef Empanadas. Although the flavor was good they were room temperature at best. Every time I had Empanadas in the past, they were always served hot (in both restaurants and at my friend’s house who is Colombian), so I was disappointed. On the good side, my daughter was introduced to Empanadas and liked them.
The Arepa was COLD, dry hard on the bottom and so rubbery I couldn’t hardly cut it in half with a knife to share with my daughter. She and I both took one bite and no more. I love Arepas. So for me to not eat it really says how bad it was. The Fried Pork Skin was far below average and not at all crispy like you would expect. My daughter, who can each bacon for 3 meals a day if I let her, took one bite of the Fried Pork Skin and didn’t want any more.
Clearly, the food we got was not prepared fresh.
The main dishes were ready before we finished our Empanadas, so much much faster than the 16 minutes.
When the main dishes came out, my daughter had hot dog and fries. Not what we were expecting, not what was in the photo in the menu and not how the waitress translated, in my opinion. Also, not the ethnic food experience I was hoping for her.
My Churrasco was average. I gave ½ of it to my daughter to eat, so she didn’t need to eat the hot dog and fries.
Just as we were completing our meal, the other 3 tables were just being served. I suspect, their food was freshly prepared.
SUMMARY
I can overlook the questionable service and that we were perhaps ignored because we were not Spanish speaking. But the food not being good, cannot be overlooked. I would have given 1 star if my daughter didn’t like the Empanadas.
It pains me to have to give a 2-​star, but it is a fair review as the food is quite poor.

Had some really yummy ethnic food here– not big on ethnic food but I needed a change. Had awesome oxtail soup and I had the bandeja which is rice, steak, beans… And an egg on top of the rice!!! Yum I loved it

Not only was their food amazing, but their staff is very friendly and attentive. Restaurant has a very cozy, authentic, and welcoming atmosphere! Would recommend this place to everyone

The food here is delicious, and everyone who works there is so friendly and sweet. They have chicken, beef, and cheese empanadas and they taste incredible! We ordered a big tray for our baby shower a few weeks ago and they were a big hit! The arepas are also delicious.

Awesome food, had an amazing breakfast. Nice people and authentic, homey vibe.

Love the Colombiano Empanadas!!!
The restaurant is small so if you have a big party call ahead.
The service was very friendly and the food delicious.

I was shocked to find such a good Colombian restaurant in Boca Raton. Their empanadas Colombianas are delicious, and I could tell that they were fresh out of the fryer. The aji that comes with it is addicting. I had the Sancocho de Gallina which is one of my all time favorite soups. I can’t wait to come back!

Florida cuisine. It’s as exciting as all the strip malls dotting Glades these days
So Dad and I are going to the Original Pancake House, but there is a huge line. We walk around to find this Colombian restaurant. The omelette will have to wait
Normally I describe the restaurant in reviews but We sat in one of the three tables outside. We were greeted by a gentleman who described the restaurant
A word about the service: it’s slow yet charming. Three different people served us. The meal was protracted, but the waiter/​waitresses were all really nice
The food was surprisingly good. First the coffee leche was really tasty. We ordered the chicken, pork dish with rice and potatoes
However, tamales with this incredibly tasty hot sauce was served as as appetizer. Fried and delicious… then again what isn’t good when fried, but this packed with chicken and potato
As part of our Columbian brunch, we were served flatbread with some kind of cheese. The bread was grilled so it had a nice crunch
The main dish was that aforementioned dish served in a banana leaf… really well done. I smothered it in my new favorite hot sauce…
So didn’t get my omelette, but this meal was far more interesting and enjoyable… with no wait either

Las mejores empanadas de Boca Ratón, las de carne también las de queso. Recomendado A1
