It's always made me nostalgic in the sense that it reminds me of my grandmas cooking growing up. The servers and staff are always kind and efficient. The restaurant always feels welcoming, open and clean. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. This restaurant unfortunately closes permanently today (I think due to economic times).. so please please please go out and support them on their last day today May 24th 2026. And thank you to this restaurant for being one of my all time favorites. You'll be missed

What can I say about this location of Fairplex in La Verne? The ambience inside was over the top…read more Right now they have the soccer game on. And the energy in that room is pretty lit. You can sit outside or inside depends on your needs. The waitress or waiter comes over after you're gonna breathe to ask what you want. We both ordered over the senior menu to see what they offer. There isn't enough food, just satisfy your hunger without the high cost. If you want a quick meal that is worth what you pay for. This location is for you. Thank you for making my lunch even better with the great service and the great food. On a note. I forgot my camera so I could not take pictures of what it is.

It's as authentic Mexican food as you can get. We enjoy going here after we get off church on Sundays with my parents and also when we have visitors come from Texas we usually take them there to get Menudo and posole even family from the Philippines on my wife's side. We usually take them there to get Menudo cause that's what they ask for I think they're very generous and they're very nice workers and the food is delicious. I have no problems with this restaurant at all.

The staff was also quick and very sweet when my 11 month old broke a plate. They jumped into action and made sure we were good and as my family and I apologized over and over again they made us feel okay about the broken plate. No attitude nothing and as a father with 3 little kids that's what my lady and I look for in restaurants. Thank you guys again for making our Mothers Day Brunch special

I'm not usually a Mexican food kind of person, so this was a pleasant surprise. The cheese was flavorful, and the ground beef and beans added so much to every bite too! And of course, you can never go wrong with sour cream haha. I wasn't planning on taking leftovers this time, so one of the servers recommended I get the small instead of the large, and I'm glad I listened! Even the "small" was still super loaded and filling. I was struggling to finish it by the end haha. All in all, I would definitely come back again and reorder the Nachos lol. One of our friends got the La Paloma Wings, and they looked so appetizing that I'm already thinking about trying those next time! The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful with all my questions, which made the experience that much more enjoyable!!

I've driven past this spot countless times on Foothill Blvd. over the years, but this was our first time stopping in. Since it was right before Christmas, the place was dolled up with holiday decorations-- poinsettias, garland, and even a few beautiful amaryllis bulbs in bloom. Our server was a young kid, but most people are younger than me nowadays. Salsa never ran empty, chips were warm and plentiful on the table. I enjoyed the two item combo, and it was good. This restaurant reminded me of the old days going to Acapulco restaurant with my family when I was a kid-- the outside of the building may be modest, but the inside is the kind of old-school restaurant that hearkens back to a different time. As another reviewer said, it's somehow "nostalgic."

Elvira's has a great atmosphere and the chips and salsa were definitely the highlight of the meal…read more Unfortunately, the food itself didn't quite live up to the price. I ordered the cheese enchilada and taco combo, and while it was decent, it was pretty mediocre overall. The enchilada was dry and lacked the flavor I was expecting. The biggest surprise was the pricing. Charging $16 for a side of guacamole felt excessive, especially considering the quality of the meal. For what you're paying, I'd expect better execution and fresher flavors. The restaurant has potential and the complimentary chips and salsa were enjoyable, but the food-to-price ratio just wasn't there for me this visit. If I come back, I might just bring my own guacamole and save a few bucks.

Nevertheless, the cashier was super friendly and even brought my food and drink out to my table. I was delighted to discover just how generous the meat portions were in the chicken, carnitas, al pastor, and buche tacos! The meat was practically overflowing at times, which I definitely appreciated since sometimes it can feel like you're eating more tortilla than filling haha. In the moment, I only managed to eat 2 of my 4 tacos and ended up saving the other 2 for later. Still just as good! As for the Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca, I loved how huge the cup was, and it was indeed super refreshing. Perfect for a hot day!! Overall, I enjoyed how spacious the restaurant was inside. If I ever came back with a group, there would definitely be plenty of seating available.

After trying Chef José's Zacatecan style fare, consider a new addition bullseyed and pinpointed! I'd stumbled in here a few nights ago- Mexico had just defeated a hearty South Korea squad in their second WC game, clinching the Group for El Tri and creating a palpable buzz among the Green/Orange & Red clad partisans who'd thronged El Ranchero... Leti and I shared a bowl of hearty Albondigas Soup to start- This is probably the finest restaurant take on the soup we've ever sampled! Most places will serve watery, tomato/carrot dense broths w/ a nominal, wan meatball. Not El Ranchero! Here, the soup is lovingly ladled w/ copious amounts of carrot, onion, cabbage and yes even a trio of meatballs. Hearty, decadent soup! We also shared a Jamaica Margarita. On the plus side it's $13 tab is decently priced- but if we are honest the drink was weaker than the Trump Administration is on corruption! Leti chose Shrimp Fajitas, which arrived steaming...Multiple fat shrimp partying w/ grilled onions + peppers. I went w/ a two item combo- A fantastic duo of machaca filled enchilada y taco. The machaca was everything you love re: that protein- Stringy, crispy and well seasoned. Xochitl was our server on this late SAT afternoon as the sun began its lazy descent to the western horizon. The rest of the restaurant staff were busily prepping the banquet room for a graduation party- So poor Xoxhitl was jamming like a trio of cats playing w/ a dozen mice. She was even mixing drinks in between serving her sextet of tables! Pro Tip- You can add a side salad or soup to most entrees for $3.99- Just ask! Our bill was $84 and for two plentiful entrees, a large if wan margarita and a side of wondrous, soul-warming soup...plus tax and tip. It's very easy to see why El Ranchero Claremont is a buzzing hub of its community- We've added El Ranchero to our must-visit Mexican staples. So should you.
