" I visited El Ranchero recently and had a little mix-up with my order, which the staff promptly corrected. I appreciated how attentive they were. The food tasted fresh, and I really did enjoy the chorizo. It had a nice balance of spice. The market side offered some interesting goodies too! I’ll come back to try more of their menu options. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Ranchero has remained one of my favorite dining spots. The consistency of the food is what keeps me coming back. I love the camarones a la diabla; it's perfectly spicy for my liking. The tables tend to fill up quickly, especially on weekends, but they manage to keep things running smoothly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at El Ranchero after hearing so much about it. For the most part, it lived up to the hype. The carnitas were some of the best I've had, coupled with a generous portion of rice and beans. However, the service left a bit to be desired; it took a while for anyone to come over and take our orders, even though the place wasn’t overly crowded. Overall, I would still recommend it based on the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the chance to explore El Ranchero during a weekend food run, and it was well worth it. The atmosphere was festive, and the food - oh my! I can't get enough of their fresh tortillas and rich flavors. I tried the carne asada burrito, which was generously stuffed and bursting with flavor. The staff were lovely and accommodating even when they were busy. This will become one of my go-to spots for Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Ranchero is a place that truly offers a taste of Mexico! The tacos I ordered were everything I hoped for - fresh, delicious, and authentically made. Not to mention, the desserts in the market looked incredibly tempting, and I had to walk away with a tres leches cake! The atmosphere was lively and the service friendly. A must-visit for anyone looking for quality Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best part about El Ranchero is how it combines a market and restaurant in one spot. I often come here for lunch with friends, and we love sampling a variety of things from the menu. The only downside I’ve noticed is sometimes it gets crowded, but it's totally worth it for the food! Plus, you can always pick up your favorite sauces on the way out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've tried a million Mexican places over the years, but El Ranchero must be one of my favorites! Their homemade tortillas are phenomenal, and the shrimp tacos just melt in your mouth. They have an impressive selection of drinks that pair perfectly with their dishes. Though the parking can be a hassle sometimes, I'd say it's worth the trip every single time. " (*Curated Review*)
