Customer Reviews
I visited El Rancho Tapatio and had the Menudo soup, a traditional Mexican beef stomach soup and it was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The portion was generous and came with all the classic garnishes. My server was Brianna and she was friendly, attentive, and helpful. She made the experience even better with her warm personality and great service. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Mexican comfort food.
*Atmosphere was great. *Very clean restaurant. *Super friendly staff. *Chips and salsa were delicious. *Some of the best tasting refined beans I’ve had and loved the veggies in the rice. *Price and portion sizes were good. *There is limited parking so if it’s busy, I could imagine there being an issue finding a parking space. -Only downside was the temperature of the food. Our rice and chicken chimichanga were hot but the beans, chicken fajita and cheese dip enchilada were warm at best. The flavors were there but wished the temperature of the food was better (which is the only reason for the dropped star). *Still very much worth a visit if you’re looking for some really good Mexican food and friendly staff.
May be the best Mexican food I've ever had. They had a mariachi band roaming the restaurant. That really added to the atmosphere. And the restaurant is quite large. Very busy on a Friday night, but was able to get a table for 6 right away. Delicious!
Hello I visited your restaurant on 08/13/2025 and ordered a frozen margarita. I took a lick of my sugar rim when my tongue felt like a mosquito bite , Luckily i didn’t bleed. However I had already finished the drink before I noticed that the glass was cracked. This raises a serious concern that I may have swallowed small glass fragments without realizing it. While I have not yet developed symptoms, I am monitoring for any issues and may seek medical attention. If medical evaluation becomes necessary, I will provide documentation and may request reimbursement for any related expenses. I spoke to the waitress who seemed bothered that i mentioned it. I paid our bill and left. This needs to be addressed to prevent potential harm to other guests. Please let me know how you plan to handle thi
Staffs were very friendly. The atmosphere was nice as well. I was in this restaurant once before my last visit. In the second time the quality was a little bit below than I expected. The veggies with fajitas were uncooked to me. It seemed rushing preparing them.
