★★★★★ 5.0 Kathy Valentine · Oct 2025

I drove from New Orleans to come back for their chicken tortilla soup. It’s different, not the typical tomato base. It’s so very good! A bonus - you can feel the love the soup was made with and it really does brighten a “cloudy day”

I loveeee going to any of the El Rancho grills. They have the BEST drinks. Seriously the best margaritas I’ve ever had. The staff is always so nice. The food is very fresh and they always seem to put a lot of care and efforts into their service. 20/10.

Cocktails: Who doesn't like a 2 for 1 margarita special? This one starts at 5:00 P.M. I preferred the frozen over the rocks at this establishment. Service: The service was speedy & polite. There was no grief when I asked to switch out my on-the-rocks margarita for another frozen one because I didn't like the flavor. Food: The salsa had a nice flavor, and the chips were fresh with just the right crisp & color. I loved the uniqueness of the taco salad shell. Specifically, it was shaped like an oversized taco shell. Moreover, I appreciated the generous amount of sour cream and guacamole on my salad. The beef was well-seasoned, too. Verdict: I'll definitely be back.

Our go to nearby Mexican restaurant. Always delicious, best chili relleno ever! Tacos are always on point, delicious fajitas, generous portions and 2 for 1 margaritas so close to home. Thanks for being reliably yummy, El Rancho!

Excellent food. Great margaritas. Very reasonable prices. Clean, welcoming atmosphere. Quick, friendly service. We’ll be going back, especially when friends are in town.
