Compadres Mexican Restaurant

First, let me begin by saying I'm not a Mexican food girlie but if I got to eat at El Ranchero…read moreevery day I would be. The service was wonderful & warm. Beautiful seating, lighting, & exceptionally clean. Oh & the service was five stars. The food though...I think I cried for a moment out of pure joy when they brought the Mexican street corn to our already overflowing table. My fiancé & I actually high fived over the fajitas texanas. The margaritas were so big i had to use two hands to hold my glass & I have zero complaints. To sum this up. I would live there if they let me.

I love El Ranchero. I've been a customer for years and through 3 location changes. It's my go too…read morefor Mexican food in the NRV. Down through the years I've never had any meal that wasn't a great experience. They have a great location and the restaurant is beautiful with an outside dining area. I order takeout a lot and I'm never disappointed. The dish that I order the most is the ACP Texcano. It's delicious and reheats very well. Recently I tried the Mango Habanero Wings and I think they are delicious. You get a great portion for the price. I would also recommend trying the white sauce with the chips and salsa. When eating in I've found the staff to be courteous and helpful.

My Crown and Coke was SO good; nice heavy pour and the prices are so reasonable. Guacamole delicious and homemade with cilantro, tomato and onion. Absolutely loved it and the staff was working their tails off. If you are visiting from out of town come here!!! Cute patio too.

I would love to have that recipe. They also had cheese quesadillas, steak and chicken with peppers, refried beans, but I didn't get those because of the color was way off. Also had queso and rice on the buffet. Then behind it, they had a salad buffet, which also had shredded cheese you could put on your items. They didn't have taco shells at the buffet, but when we asked, they gave us some no issues so if you want to make a taco, you can just ask them. They also had cinnamon covered tortillas for dessert, but we didn't try those. If you like sweet tea, the sweet tea was delicious. The restaurant was pretty typical of any Mexican restaurant decorated with vibrant colors. The server was great.

The vibe is incredible from the second you step through the door. The staff is so genuinely cheerful, and the rustic, country-bar aesthetic--complete with cozy wooden booths--makes you feel right at home. Plus, they've actually mastered the music volume! It's high enough to keep the energy up, but you can still totally hear your friends across the table. But let's talk about the food, because it is next level. Whether you're starving and need the Arroz Con Pollo or craving something lighter like their amazing grilled salads, the portions are always perfection. You'll leave feeling exactly how you want to: satisfied, happy, and already planning your next visit. Delicious food, great prices, and a killer atmosphere--what's not to love?!

Last night was our first time here. The restaurant was very clean with a nice, friendly ambiance…read more Our waitress was at our table immediately and took our drink orders. My wife commented on how good the chips were. I agreed and the salsa was great. Our food arrived quickly and was piping hot (which we love). The best part of our visit was the customer service. Our waitress had a fantastic personality and checked back on us several times to see if we needed anything. If all waitresses/waiters were like her, eating out would be much more enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back often.

Never got our food, so we left…read more Usually do not walk out of places but did. Ridiculously slow service, have never waited so long for mexican food and they were not even busy. We didnt order anything complicated, basic off the menu items. Took ten minutes to get a glass of water? People came in a good ten to fifteen minutes behind us and got their meals before us? It was obvious there was an issue in the kitchen, and an out of sync front of the house. We wanted to pay for our drinks and go after an almost 40 minute wait for rice and beans? The staff avoided us, so we went to the bar to pay and that was even difficult, none of the staff came to help. Finally a guy from the back came out and said dont worry about the drinks? How was that so difficult from an employee to say? We offered to pay for what we had. Literally a waste of time, it is what it is but... 1 Star 01251
