The burritos are always super delicious! I was craving this place for awhile and it hit the spot! It's right inside the supermarket and usually a line but it goes fast. I ordered the super chicken burrito and it definitely super loaded with everything. It had grilled chicken, guacamole, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, onions, and salsa. I love how they cook everything right in you. The chefs cook everything fresh and hot. One of the chefs noticed my burrito didn't have enough meat inside so he added more. I thought that was super generous! This is our go to spot and always looking forward to eating here for great Mexican food.

So previously I've had a pretty good experience getting their el pastor tacos. I even craved it for my birthday so my husband got it for my birthday but I was very disappointed with it. My husband ordered to go and picked it up and for some weird reason when I was eating it not too long after, the corn tortilla was super crumbly and soggy and would literally fall apart when I was trying to hold the taco to eat it. I couldn't even hold the taco without the tortilla breaking before i took a bite. I ended up just eating all the filling with a spoon and leave the awfully shell behind. So disappointing. Unfortunately makes me not want to come back again because the quality was not good. Photos posted are of the weird crumbly, soggy tortillas for my tacos

This is my most favorite store to buy my Mexican goodies. Fresh meat that's marinated to bring home for taco night. Homemade salsas, tortillas, fresh hot rice and beans, chicharones con carne, fresh vegetables - food area to have burritos , tacos, and all delicious dishes you'd find in a taqueria. I also bought plantains to fry up at home. You can also buy premade masa to make your own tamales. It seems like it's a family business - service is friendly.

I've been working in Castro Valley for 20 years. I went in the store once for some mangoes. Have never thought about trying their food. My friend brought lunch one day and the tacos were good. Then she brought lunch another day and they were delicious. I stopped in there today for lunch. This restaurant is a hidden gem. The restaurant and store is very clean and well-maintained.. The tacos were fire as usual. They give you plenty of everything in your tacos never feel like I'm missing anything. Five dollars each for super tacos. Fast and friendly server. My go to place for tacos from now on. Next time I want to try the orange beet juice.

Supermarket with taqueria inside. Parking can be tough during certain times but majority of the time I'm able to find parking without going around more than once. Supermarket - I come here mainly for fresh produce that I need quickly like cilantro, green onions or jalapeños. They also have a butcher with meat in the back. Taqueria - only tried the taco and nacho fries. Taco was good, carnitas wasn't the crispy kind. fries was ok, pastor was good. Taqueria can get busy with long lines. Overall, it does the job and they are generous with the portion and will be interested to try other food items.

El rancho is the most consistently amazing taco place in all of the east bay-- for real. Their ingredients taste good, the workers are friendly, the service is quick and the cost is reasonable. I usually get soft tacos with a variety of toppings. Their horchata is always good as well. They aren't stingy with the fillings either-- full to bursting tacos, hard to pick up they're so stuffed! You're definitely getting your money's worth at only 2.29 a taco. Sometimes when you place an order for pickup they don't put on all the toppings, so I recommend confirming at the end of the call to make sure they got it all down. Also be aware that if you have dietary restrictions that don't do well with cross contamination (celiac, vegetarianism, etc), it's not safe to eat here. I often find stray meat in my beans, and they warm the flour and corn tortillas on the same surface. There is a lot of cross contact. I've been going here for over a decade (my mom's review from 12 years ago cites my 5-star review as a child) and I've consistently enjoyed it-- through being diary free, vegetarian, and eating meat for the first time in 15 years, el rancho has always been a solid and dependable choice.

Parking is limited at the front and back of the store. There is street parking along Grove Way. Bell peppers were cheaper here than nearby grocery stores. This is also a good place to buy dry beans in bulk. The hot food that they sell is amazing. The quality and amount of food surpasses Chipotle. Great bang for your buck. My favorite is the Cheese Fries with Meat. Other people I know love their burritos and their cucumber agua fresca. Although lengua is not in the list of Meat Choices, they do have it. They do run out of lengua. Service has always been good every time I've ordered here. I've gotten a catering package as well and it was a pleasant experience. There is limited open seating. At max, you can eat together with a party of 8. They limit the sitting time to 30 minutes although I do not think it is strictly enforced.

Service is becoming crappy dealing with the cashier staff at the restaurant side. I've been a customer for 10 years, and for the past couple of months I've been dealing with crappy quality attitude. Thanks so much folks!
