My Wife and I had an early dinner here and it was really great. The Margaritas were Wow! And the food was delicious, the atmosphere was very nice and the service was excellent! We really like this place and it is a definite “go-to” when we feel like some authentic Mexican cuisine!

Was traveling from out of town. I almost didn't stop in because I wanted to order online and just pick it up but they had my food ready in minutes. Sat at the bar and before I could finish a beer they had an awesome pork burrito with a custom sauce on top based on the flavors I liked. I had a craving for Carnitas but really wanted a burrito and the waitress / bartender let me merge the two with absolutely no problem. Great vibe, cold beer and delicious food

Had their #1 lunch special, a taco, burrito, enchilada and chalupa, chips and salsa. All was very good!! They have a hot sauce that was tasty as well, kind of a yellow habanero sauce. Will definitely be back!! Also has their dirty margarita, a blend of all their types of margaritas. Was very good as well!!

We like to visit local joints when we pass through an area. El Ranchito Jalisco did not disappoint. We were greeted and seated promptly. The service was friendly and efficient. The drinks were delicious and the food was quickly served for lunch.
