“ This place is pretty cool, not fancy, it has gambling machines at the front so that is a bit odd. But the food is great. The burritos are huge, the variety of tacos options is plentiful. The chips and queso were a big hit with the kids. I enjoyed their homemade hot sauces. The burrito is huge and tasty. We enjoyed everything we ordered and we will be back. ”
“ Stopped in for lunch and had some street tacos. They were delicious. Service was friendly and fast. Give these guys a chance and help them grow their business. I can tell they are passionate and want to make people happy with their food. ”
“ Have ate here almost everyday at lunch for the entire month. Excellent food, freshly made. The tacos are delicious, the tortas and burritos are quite large. I can eat alot but 1 burrito is a meal in itself. The pazole is good, not my favorite but that's on me as some of my buddies seemed to really enjoy it. I wish this taqueria was in my home town! ”
“ We were looking for a local sit-down place that served Tortas. El Rancho Taqueria was a nice surprise. Their menu is loaded with all the favorites and then some. I had the fajita quesadilla with chicken. It was really good. The Tortas that were served also hit the spot. There is also a Modelo day during each week. (Thursday) First one is free. ”
