Reviews for El Ranchito in Arlington, TX
If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The food isn’t the greatest, but if you like coming here and enjoy their food... the only advice I would give you is to CHECK THE CHICKEN before you bite into it. Especially the chicken tenders on the KIDSmenu. I ordered my 2yr old daughter chicken tenders and thankfully I opened it in half because the chicken was RAW! Never cominghere again. Read more
Came here for my moms birthday dinner with a party of 11. The server we had, I forgot her name was a young lady from Honduras... who wore glasses w piercings. She was so great, handling all of us alone. Always made sure we had refills on all our drinks andall of our food was brought out together and correct. She constantly checked on us despite having another large party she washelping too. The food tasted so good and the presentation was excellent. The food looked and tasted good. Definitely recommendcoming here any time for great food and wonderful service. Read more
Service is outstanding and food is always good. Even my picky girls love the kids hamburgers. The shrimp cocktail is better... than most places with plenty of avocado. My wife loves the fresh tortillas and tacos. We've been here at various times of theday and have not been disappointed. Really enjoyed the margaritas, as well. Read more

We live close by but had never tried this restaurant since it changed hands several years ago. We met our daughter for dinner on... Saturday, February 5. Immediately upon walking in and I absolutely loved the ambience, mostly because they had a fire roaring ina fireplace on a very cold evening. Be aware, this place is a truly authentic Mexican restaurant with items on the menu such asgoat, tripe and Menudo. They have a pretty extensive bar menu and will make adjustments at your request although we were alittle disappointed when we were told they were “out of simple syrup“ for my husband’s drink. This is a very quick andsimple, easy to make item that every bar should have on hand. The Elote was delicious but it does come on the cob so there issome handwork required. Food was above average but nothing left us dying to come back. Our server was Angel P. He was friendlybut literally spoke almost no English, to the point that someone had to come over twice and helped translate so we couldproperly place our order. Nothing against the guy but it was difficult for him to interact with us. The hot sauce here isincredibly spicy so be aware of that as well.. on a scale of one to 10 I give this place a seven. 80% of the people eatingthere and working there were Hispanic so I think that says something about it.

Overall the food was good, disappointed in the drinks very little taste of alcohol. Charro beans were basically bean... broth. Disappointed especially since the drinks at the location in Dallas are so good! The food is overall tastier. Read more
