We had a group of 11 and El Rancho Mexican Restaurant handled it beautifully! The food was amazing across the board. I ordered the chicken chimichanga dinner plate and loved it. The owner and her daughter were incredibly welcoming and so kind to the young ones in our group. Excellent service, delicious food, and a very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

If you can stop here, you DEFINITELY should! We were driving from Vegas to Zion and wanted lunch. I had the chicken tamales and my husband had the green enchiladas. 💚 The food is extremely fresh and homemade. There is old fashioned Coca-Cola with cane sugar too. What a treat. I am going to be dreaming about these tamales. I would go out of my way for this delicious food when I return. It's made with love.

If you’re near Zion and looking for amazing Mexican food, you have to stop at El Rancho. It’s truly a hole-in-the-wall spot, but the food is incredible. The quesabirria was the best I’ve ever had!! Perfectly crispy tortillas packed with flavorful meat, and the consommé was rich and so good for dipping. The tamales were also amazing; super fresh, soft, and full of flavor. You can tell everything is made with care. And the salsa is a local county award winner, which makes sense after tasting it. It’s fresh, flavorful, and the perfect addition to everything on the table. If you’re lucky enough to meet the family, they are incredibly kind and welcoming. They even shared all their local must-do recommendations around the area, which made the experience feel even more special. This place is a

Visiting Zion and after a day of exploring and hiking we wanted a great meal. We found it at this local restaurant which caught our attention. I ordered a mulitas (one chicken and on carne asada). I couldn't finish them, but warmed them next morning for breakfast, and they were still fabulous! My other half ordered a mulita to go for our next day breakfast and he polished off a Birria taco dish , chips and salsa so fresh, we couldn't stop eating it! Both dishes were incredibly fabulous with hands made tortillas and authentic true Flavors! The owners son was genuine, informative, and efficient. It is clear the locals frequent here as well as we witnessed several ppl come in that were personally known by employees. Hands down a great meal!

A cute little restaurant that we were referred to. We love to support a small business! We were a group of 10 just looking for some good food after hiking most of the day. We ordered everything from the chips and salsa to the tacos, enchiladas and burritos. Everything was delicious and the fresh made salsa was so tasty, we even got some extra to take home. The owner was so sweet and checked on us numerous times to make sure we enjoyed every bite.
