Been coming to this El Ranchito for 18 years. My wife and I love it. The kids do as well. They make some of the best mole... enchiladas, shrimp cocktails, fajita plates and really good mixed drinks. The servers are amazing! They take extremely good careof you! Read more
We were having a party and wanted to order some side dishes, rice and beans, we could of done it ourselves but decided to... support our local restaurant. We ordered side dishes for 24 people to our surprise the portions were a joke. Their online menuis very deceiving said it was to fed up to ten guests but the portion was not even enough to fed 5 people. Seemed like we goingto serve our guests a table spoon of rice for each guest. I went back to talk to management about the side dishes maybe I wasgiven the wrong order but he was upset that questioned the amount of food. For the money we spent for the side dishes we couldhave made it our selves and fed 300 people. I guess that?s the last time I order from there and will never go back to this?Avila El Ranchito?. I should have known their name says it all. The manager was rude and customer services sucks. Never againwill I go there or recommend anyone. These people should be embarrassed of their service.that?s the last time I support thisrestaurant. Read more
Great food and great service we now love to get taco Tuesday here.
Haven't been to this location for a few years so since we're closer now we decided to go for our date night. It wasn't crowded... and we were sat right away. We were pretty hungry so it didn't take long to figure out what we wanted lol. You always know agreat place based on their chips and salsa. This place has the best, their chips are always warm and fresh and the salsa isn'ttypical and it always has a nice kick. I like the fact that they make it with green onions and it's not chunky with tomatoes. Idecided to order the tacos and caldo, I had the albondigas soup and 2 crunchy tacos chicken and beef. They came with lettucepico de gallo and shredded cheese. Hubby had the 3 item combo with 2 beef crunchy tacos and a chicken soft taco, rice and beans.I can tell you that you can taste the authenticity of the rice and beans. It made me feel like I was at mi abuela'scasa?????? We noticed that they have security in the parking lot watching the cars and people which made us feel secure. Nexttime we'll go for happy hour and I'll update my review???? Read more

Always enjoyed this location on Cinco de Mayo for their tasty margaritas and fun atmosphere, friendly staff and moderately... priced menu. Terrace and parking lot patio for outdoor dining. Old Adobe building with plenty of parking behind the restaurant.Fun for family and friends. Read more
Used to love this place, but was sadly disappointed this time. Service was awesome can't complain about that, but the... enchilada combo I ordered left alot to be desired. I used to order take out a couple years back and it was awesome. In myopinion, it wasn't worth the $20 I paid. I understand inflation is at an all time high, but if you're gonna hike prices, keepthe quality the same!! Read more
