El Rancho

I've tried another El Rancho location before and it was about the same as this one. The service was good but the food wasn't memorable. I was excited about the chicken nachos and tamales but the meat was bland. The margarita was mostly mix & no tequila. Also, there was a gnat in my pitcher of water. I will not be trying another El Rancho location.

Service was ok, food was - well hard to describe. I ordered tacos- fairly simple, the cornerstone of Tex-mex cuisine. I made a serious err in my judgement though and did not get the simplest version of tacos. I went bolder and got the Mexican street tacos. The food itself tasted "ok" it was kinda dry, sort of bland- the response I had the day after was nothing short of monumental. To put it mildly - It renewed my gratitude for indoor plumbing and non-restricted quantities of paper products- Do I know for a fact that it was the restaurant food that did that to me... no. Do I feel in my heart it was- yes. All the evidence I need...

I decided to try this place out since I was craving some mexican food so I finally did. We came in for dinner and it was fairly slow and were seated right away. They have tons of items to choose from at fairly reasonable prices. I decided to go with the beef fajitas for 2 and a side of tamales. The fajitas come with rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream and some diced tomatoes. They also give you warm flour tortillas wrapped in foil. Shortly after we placed our order the meal arrived at our table and before I even noticed anything the waitress let me know that the beef fajitas were burned and she will give me more meat later. The tamales were a little dry and had a chili enchilada sauce over it. Overall the fajitas were okay with the grilled onions and peppers and the rice and beans were good to complement it. Since we had so much meat I asked for more tortillas and she gladly gave them to me. I will return in the future and try some other items.

Honestly I was afraid to try this place because of all bad the reviews. But I really wanted a Margarita and it was super close and let's face it it's kinda of hard to mess up chips and salsa. So we first started with a round of drinks, delicious and the perfect amount of alcohol . We had lotsss of chips and salsa it was really good! Then we ordered the queso, pretty damn good if I do say so myself. Then we ordered the combo fajitas for 2 OMG this order is HUGE! It easily could feed 4 people. We ended up taking most of it home and we ate a good bit of it! These are some awesome fajitas btw, best ones I have had at a Mexican restaurant in a long time. All in all this place was a really good Mexican restaurant and I will definitely be back again, I would highly recommend this place to others! The prices are great also! Which is another plus!!

Very bad food and service missing.All our food was lukewarm and terrible!Can't add much more without being ......Had to buy something sweet to get the taste out.

I think some of the reviews for this place are a bit harsh. Is it great/authentic mexican food? No. Its a Mexican Food version of Applebees. Lots of families and groups and pretty predictable taste. Ive always had good service and for us it serves its purpose in a pinch. Kudos to them for experimenting with a new chip that wicks away the majority of the oil. They are presumably healthier and they taste....umm baked, ie not that tasty. But they get an A for daring to mess with chips and salsa.

We were traveling from out of town and had been out sightseeing all day. We wanted to get either nachos or tacos. So we stopped here to eat, our waiter was rude. The daiquiri was watered down salsa had no flavor and everything needed to have salt. We asked for flour tortillas butter and the waiter was shocked we even asked for that stated no one had ever asked for that. Once we received the bill we were charged .99 for a bowl of butter. We said we would not be back and the staff said good we don't want you back either. I have never seen such bad service and rude waitstaff.

Not bad depends on the day and if Enrique is cooking g. But fun good clean place. Try it viva viva!

Pay no attention to past reviews. Fajitas and burritos are excellent. Service was great as well.

Terrible. Went twice. First one was a one star experience. I was ready to get sick after I ate. But I love Mexican food and it could just be a messed up day. So I vowed to give it another chance. Went back a second time. Same dish. Disgusting. I hate to leave a one star review. I do. But having to prep myself twice for food poisoning is as gross as it gets. Literally only bad Mexican I've had on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
