The Ranchito 7

I have been there 2 times now and the food is very very good and get so much for your money. I would highly recommend this place if looking for a good Mexican Restaurant. Each time I went was not let down.

Awesome food with awesome big portions! Love the quesadilla plate and super nachos! Service is meh though…

I love this place! It’s far from my house but close from my job. We usually call in orders on Fridays. I’ve eaten breakfast and dinner here. Everything I’ve had, I’ve enjoyed. The sweet tea is good too. Which is a deal breaker for me if its not. The service is excellent and even though they are always busy, the wait is super short.

I absolutely ADORE this place! After seeing it packed for months and months I now understand exactly why. Pricing is great and portions are huge! The staff is also very kind always checking up to see if everything is okay. Also my friend ordered coffee and they were so kind as to offer a little dish full of half and half packets and also free ice cold water! I thought that was over the top and so so nice! Most places don’t even offer it even if you ask and you usually wind up paying for a water or coke because ya know you need a refreshing drink with some of these meals haha. I ordered a small quesadilla and large fries and man I LOVED it I also tried my friends’ dishes and I am sooooo going back. I went around 10:00 pm on a Monday night and it was pretty empty.

I love their breakfast. We get 2 breakfast meals for less than $ 10 and we are always full. My personal favorite is the ranchero eggs with chopped fajita meat and potatoes. This place is always very busy, but the staff are still very quick. I usually call my order in and pick up, and my order is always correct.

I went mid breakfast time on a Saturday (around 10:30−11) and it was packed! You don’t put your name down on a list or anything, you just kind of tell the host that you’re there and he keeps track of who’s next. Kind of hectic, but the man was nice and it was only a 10 minute wait. The tables are very packed together, so if you don’t like that steer away.
Food:
Ehh, I was not a fan. The fajitas in my tacos were cut too big and were slightly burnt. My brother got the enchiladas and he said his plate was very good and his fajitas not burnt. Rice and beans were very good. Lemonade was wayyyy too sweet.
Service:
Very good. Host was nice, waitress was nice, and cashier was prompt.
Overall, okay experience.

What can i say this place, it has become a weekend ritual, and they make it easy. I tend to come mid morning or earlier so my menu always involves breakfest huevos Rancheros; sometimes with a pork chop, and its great! The hard thing about ordering this in most reastruants, are that potatoes are always predone cooked through so when asking for crispy they tend to be burnt and soft. but this place makes them perfect. Its a classic south texas hispanic breakfest. The porkchop when ordered on the side is cooked perfect which is a feat on its on in someplaces because of the thinness of breakfest porkchops, but not here perfect flavor, juicy, not dried out. The wait staff is excellent even when packed, the waitstaff work together in order to make sure all tables have plenty service. Drinks always full.

Awesome food! Free chile con queso /​cheese everyday except Sunday! That’s an awesome deal. The prices are reasonable for authentic mexican food. I’m big on authentic mexican and I must say this place is pretty good. Top notch service.

Food was cold and there was a toothpick in it. I really hope it wasn’t a used toothpick. So gross.

Their chicken fajitas are the absolute best I’ve ever had. The staff is always friendly and the service is excellent. I’ve never had a complaint when I’ve gone there. Their food is always cooked to perfection and the staff is attentive and quick to ask if I need anything. I really recommend this place if you love authentic Mexican food.

Love this place! We’ve been eating for years. It’s nothing fancy, but the food is good. The best tacos al pastor around, and the cheese enchiladas are the cheeziest you’ll find. They have good breakfast bargains too. Most breakfast plates are under $ 5. One warning for first timers — On weekend nights, they have live music and it can be EXTREMELY LOUD!

Friendly & fast waitstaff GREAT FOOD at a GREAT PRICE! There isn’t really any complaints just the parking other than that I can’t complain! If you want a great Mexican breakfast this is the place if you’re in the area!

HORRIBLE PLACE TO EAT!!! The service is TERRIBLE if I could I would give them zero stars! Well I ordered chile con queso and I paid $ 4.99 which is fine but when I wanted to order and extra bag of chips they want to charge $ 2.99 extra for a small bag which you can easily go the the store and buy a BIGGER and BETTER bag of chips for LESS THAN that!!! THEY ARE SO STINGY ! Atleast give me a good amount for my money’s worth! Also I ordered the food which was some enchiladas and a taco and the vegetables were old the lettuce was brown and tomatoes were really yellow and green! So its NOT even FRESH!!! (Fyi :this was a to go order so I didn’t notice till I got home or else I would of returned it) SO FOR FUTURE OR CURRENT CUSTOMERS I SAY BEWARE AND SPEND YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! NOT worth anything! Thank you for listening!

My boss and I go here often for lunch (he is big Hispanic food fan). I’m not the biggest fan of this type of food, but they have alot of options on the menu and I can always find something good. Prices are very reasonable. I love the Mexican coke!

We all have those Restaurants that we went to as children and had laughs and made memories with family and friends. Well this was my boyfriends place. So even though it is not my cup of tea, I go because he likes it. The food is just okay and I am not a fan of places that start to run out of product before 6pm. (Like Caldo de Res or Pollo). You can find better food at a dirty taco truck. But I like to hear his stories about the good old days (we are in our late 20’s) lol.
Well, last night will be the last time we ever visit this place. Because as people the bad times can wipe out the good memories sometimes. When we Unilocalers go out to eat we go for the experince, the atmoshpere, the food! So we sit down and they are not busy at all. As we walk in (its a sit your self kinda place) and sit down it takes about five mins to be greeted (usually if I am not greeted or aknowledged in 2 – 3 mins depending on the situation i am out). So the waitress takes our drink order but the whole time looks at my boyfriend. Let me rewind here give you alittle more background. I have Cancer and have lost my hair. So I am getting use to being looked at with worried faces, people crying around me but being given a disgusted look is not one I am use to yet. But i refuse to live my life in around my cancer. Okay back to last night. So she brings back our drinks and sets mine down next too my bf. So then she takes our order still looking at my head as if I have the plague. So i tell her I have cancer, she leaves and as she goes to where someother waitress are standing. She starts to speak in Spanish telling them how ugly that boygirl is am and saying she has lice. So she leaves and comes back with our queso and I ask for pickled Jalepenos and she ignores me and starts to talk to my bf again. So I have had it by this time. So has my boyfriend ask to speak to the manager, by this time i am in tears. As he walks over My bf notices a long hair on the jalepenos. So he call his attention to this small issue first. The manger preoceeds to tell him it is mine. By this time we are done and I am already out the door. We will neve visit this place ever again.

Pretty good food and service. Nothing to go out of your way for, but price was good for food I received.

If your hungry and on a budget, this is the place to go. Titanic portions, cheap prices. Two people can easily get their fill off of one plate. A bonus is that the food actually tastes good. If you go on the weekend you definitely have to try their menudo.

I’ve only had the barbacoa and pastor tacos, but they are superb. This place has the best prices, too.

I love The Ranchito!
The atmosphere is pretty simple, with booths and tables available in a typical Taquería fashion. Nothing fancy here! But expect an above average sound level, because this place is almost always busy!
Wait staff is always prompt and friendly!
I’d say that their best deal is definitely their breakfast menu, since it has dishes from 2.99+ with more than enough food to fill you up! The prices change and 11 I think, but make a point to check it out!
They are also one of the few places I know that have Big Red on tap. :) Mmm Mmm Good!

My coworker invited to lunch and we went to this Mexican Restaurant. We ordered the food in advanced since we only have ½ hr lunches. When we got there the place was very busy. We found a table and the waitress brought us our food. The food was actually pretty good. I ordered chicken quesadillas and they were pretty delicious. My coworker swears by their beef soup. Prices are less than $ 10 per dish. I have to admit that Mexican food is growing on me and this restaurant definitely has my vote.
