Rancho La Candelaria

Service was great. Food was delicious- menudo, pupusa, quesadilla con carne & the Mandarina was refreshing. Cute environment. We will be back to try more of the menu!

Solid meal. Quesadilla was a little greasy but tasty. I really liked the enchiladas.Enjoyable patio (a few flies but Lavern does have a lot of farm land).Music inside was a little loud.Good service.You order at the window and the call your number when the food is ready.

The most amazing Mexican place in Laveen. And I'm not just saying it. We've tried it all and still, nothing compares to Rancho. We come once a week! One time I didn't like my soup-- the meat was just too fatty for me, and Rancho made it right. They have your back so just speak up! Our favorites are Carne Asada Sopes, Cheese only and Bean&Cheese Papusas-- make sure you get the cabbage slaw to put on top. And we also LOVE the quesa-birria tacos. Sometimes we even buy the consommé to have with tacos at home, ofcourse nothing like the carne from this place! This place is family owned and we love supporting small businesses like this! Especially when they are hidden gems. You will not regret a detour to this place!! You have to try it!

Man this place has been my go to since I moved here a they do me like this especially on Mother's Day for my family dinner.. man. Looks like another one bites the dust I got home an open this no sauce lol no onion or cilantro

I have been driving by this place for a year and finally stopped in for breakfast. The service was great, the gentleman who helped us was a nice young man and it's his families restaurant. We ordered and waited about 15 mins for our food, but let me tell you, it's worth the wait. The food was fresh and hot and delicious. We are coming back to try the tacos and tortas next time. Today we had the breakfast burritos and the huevos rancheros with chorizo .. Simply amazing !!!!

This place is fantastic. I got the sopes and was very pleased with the textures, flavors, freshness, and quality. The staff was friendly and everything was prepared to order. The place is rustic but charming. Child friendly! The popusas, asada tacos, and tortas were also very good (others in party ordered these). Intend to return and try the whole menu. I moved here from San Diego and this is the best Mexican place I've been since moving.

I've been trying to get to this place for months! But every time I remember them, of course it's during the hours they are closed lol Anyway, I went here on a Saturday afternoon. They are still getting the inside together after the fire but the outside is beautiful and nice to sit. I ordered the carne sopes, chicharrron, rice, bean, and cheese papusas, posole, carne asada burrito, and quesadilla. Everything was so good! No complaints. We got it to go and the sopes were even still mostly in tact by the time we got home. The way they were packaged was perfect. They had a little salsa bar. We tried all the salsas and all of them were good. Everything was well seasoned, hot, and just delicious! I love that they have a sign to let you know that all orders are made fresh so be patient because you are not at a drive thru lol I also got horchata. I didn't know they had it until I saw someone else with it. The guy at the counter said they switch out the drinks but usually have horchata so be sure to ask what drinks they have available. We will be back for sure!

LOVE this place. me and my best friend have made this our spot. everytime we're on her side of town we come eat here and it's absolutely delicious, never misses. the owners and staff are always kind and give great service. the restaurant has such cute outdoor seating with a bunch of plants. i'm excited to bring more friends here.

This place is OPEN for business! It is NOT permanently closed. I love this restaurant! We've been going here for the past six years since we moved to Laveen. Great service, great food, and great vibe. Tonight, I got menudo and posole to go. Best dinner ever! It came with cilantro, onions, cabbage, limes, and your choice of either tortillas, bread, or tostadas on the side. Lots of pork chunks in the posole and lots of tripes in the menudo. We take all our guests visiting from out of town here because it's authentic! When we came last month, we ordered birria tacos, sopes, tortas, and pupusas. All were excellent! The wait may be a bit longer, but as their sign says, they are not a fast food restaurant. Everything is made-to-order and believe me, the wait is well worth it! Your food comes out fresh and piping hot. The owners are also very sweet and friendly. Visit this place if you're in Laveen! I love supporting local small businesses. Salud!

EWWW DO NOT EAT HERE!! This place is DISGUSTING!!!! If you want hair and a roach mixed in with your meat go right ahead. Told the owner about it and she was pissed at me like if it was my fault. She refused a refund and cussed me out very unprofessionally in front of customers.
