Taqueria El Ranchito

I’m doing Laundry next door, popped in for a bite to eat.
Prices are high compared to portion size.
Dine in orders bring chips & salsa to table Charge for 2^nd order of chip’s even when buying Beans to dip chip’s! Bean’s are ice cold!
I eat at Mexican restaurant everyday!
Never get this kind of service.
Not a Recommended Restaurant!
I’d go out of my way, to stay away from this restaurant.

I was thrilled with their fresh veggies and their salsa. Everything was very tasty. I had a vegetarian torta and pico de gallo on the side.

Ordered 3 tacos and the meat in one of the tacos was sour. Can’t believe they tried to serve it. Will not return, I had a stomach ache the rest of the day.

Nice little neighborhood Taqueria in Westmont near 63^rd and Williams (east of the Harvest breakfast place). The food is good, services is friendly and helpful, and the prices are about right.
We arrived just before the Friday dinner rush and were promptly greeted by our server who gave us some chips and two salsas (one red and one green). Both had some heat — especially the red. When my dad struggled a bit with them, the server brought over a bowl of mild salsa. Very thoughtful…
I decided to get a carne asada gordita, and two tacos (lengua and cabeza — tongue and cow head). The tacos were tasty, especially the lengua, though they were a bit sparsely filled compared to some of the tacos I’ve had in the area. The gordita, at $ 2.99, represented a good value — nicely filled. I’m looking forward to trying the sopes, huaraches, tostadas and tortas in future visits.
I used to come regularly to Taqueria el Pulpo which used to be at this location. I think the food is comparable at this incarnation — quite good. Our server was fantastic — she took the time to answer multiple questions about the food despite covering all of the tables by herself.
If you liked Taqueria el Pulpo, you’ll definitely like Taqueria El Ranchito. If you didn’t get a chance to try el Pulpo, now’s your chance to check out the new place.

Unfortunately for us everything we ordered was not good at all
We felt as though Nothing tasted fresh. We ordered a few tacos and sopes. The meat was tender just very bland.
The beans were watery, and rice was so so it had pieces of potato which was different. A big disappointment was the Horchata ! (tasted watered down and had a funny soap taste).
The only thing I’m thinking for how awful the food was is we ordered an hour before closing although I have had Mexican from places that stay open till 3am and are way better.

The sides were pretty small serving and the enchilada wasn’t very tasty as I was a bit disappointed in this place after seeing all the stellar reviews .It is a simple small joint with a good limited menu and fair prices but it is far from a five star restaurant. Many better options in the immediate neighborhood.

Authentic mexican food. Good service. Reasonably priced. Chicken tacos are my favorite. Killer salsas and great guacamole!

Nice folks cooking authentic Mexican food at very reasonable prices.
The smallish interior hardly reflects the big flavor of their freshly-​prepared tacos and burritos, which are the only menu items I’ve had the pleasure of sampling, so far.
The fact that this quaint restaurant is located in the same little shopping center as my favorite laundromat is a bonus, since I can grab a great lunch while doing a few loads of laundry, which is definitely a «WIN-​WIN».
One of these evenings I’ll definitely have to bring a date back for a nice sit-​down dinner and check out some of the other items on their fairly good-​sized menu.
Hungry for REAL Mexican food? Forget the chain places and check out Taqueria El Ranchito next time. Your taste buds AND your wallet will be glad you did.

I’ve been here twice and it’s fantastic to find some authentic flavors in the land of suburbia. Their vegetarian options revolve around black beans, rice, cheese and avocado, but the torta, taco, and quesadilla I tried were all delicious. Their horchata is so creamy and delicious. Also, when I have ordered to go and to eat in the service has been very friendly and prompt. Chips and salsa appear to come free with your meal, whether you eat in or not. Also, food comes out very quickly.
This does not feel like a run-​of-​the-​mill Mexican place. Just walking in you get the vibe that it’s a restaurant that people take a lot of pride in. If you are in the area, I would recommend you stop by for lunch!
