" I have been a loyal customer for years, and I can confidently say that El Ranchero serves some of the best tacos in the DFW area. The tortillas are freshly made, which really adds to the flavor of the carne asada. The only downside is the occasional long lines, especially on weekends. But honestly, the wait is worth it. You will not find better tacos anywhere else! It's a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to El Ranchero for years, and it never disappoints! The ambiance is cheerful, and the tacos are always superb. I usually opt for a variety, and every single one is incredible! The only downside is that during peak hours, it can be crowded. However, it’s all worth it if you love authentic tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to share my recent experience at El Ranchero. The tacos were delicious, but I did notice that my food was a little greasy this time. I ordered the barbacoa and while the flavor was still excellent, the texture was not what I expected. I also had a bit of a wait during peak hours, but I understand that happens. Overall, I would still come back because the place has some of the best authentic tacos in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to mention that El Ranchero's tacos are superb! I’m always impressed with the freshness and flavor, especially their carne asada tacos. I’ve tried a lot of taco places, and these definitely rank among the best in the DFW. The only downside is that it can get crowded during dinner rush, but the people working there keep things running smoothly. A must-try for real taco lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" That place is a diamond in the rough! The tacos were absolutely fantastic, I tried the carnitas and they melted in my mouth. The staff was friendly, even though they were busy. The only downside I noticed was the cleanliness of the tables, but it didn't really ruin my experience. All in all, I highly recommend El Ranchero! " (*Curated Review*)

" My latest visit to El Ranchero was mixed. The tacos were good, I had the barbacoa and it was tasty, but I found them to be a bit on the greasy side. Also, there were some cleanliness issues – the tables could have been wiped down better. Still, the flavors won me over, and I would definitely consider coming back. I usually rave about their tacos, especially the lengua, which is a must-try if you haven’t yet! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Ranchero offers great tacos, but I do wish they would improve their service. The employees are fine but a bit indifferent. I enjoy my food immensely, yet feel somewhat ignored during my visits. The tacos themselves are a true delight, so I weigh pros and cons, but I would love to see friendlier staff next time! " (*Curated Review*)
