" Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience last week. The menudo was under-seasoned and my tacos were barely warm. It was inclusive to family style dining, and I appreciated it. However, I don’t think I would come back after that. A shame since it has such a good reputation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Coming from Southern California, I was curious if El Ranchero could compare to my usual taco spots. Surprisingly, it did! I tried the pescado taco, and it was amazing—the freshness was evident! Friendly staff, though a bit busy at times. Will definitely return to indulge in more authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was pleasant, albeit small, and the food arrived hot and fresh. I enjoyed my carne asada burrito; it was flavorful but a bit on the small side for my appetite. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food, making a return visit likely in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! The birria tacos are to die for! The flavors explode in your mouth and leave you wanting more. I was surprised at how quickly the service was on my last visit, which is totally atypical for this place. My new favorite spot for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was looking for some authentic Mexican food and stumbled upon El Ranchero. The service could have been better; we had to flag down our server multiple times. However, the food did impress me enough to make me want to try it again. The shrimp tacos were bursting with flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this place—I mean, everyone raves about their tacos and burros. The flavors are strong but last time I went, the food was a bit greasy and my burrito was soggy with the sauce. Guess I might just need to stick to tacos next time. Service was fine; nothing to complain about, but also not memorable. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first trip to El Ranchero, and while the food was authentic, the service was lacking—our waiter seemed overwhelmed. The portions were alright, but I expected more given the prices. Definitely a mixed experience here. " (*Curated Review*)
