Our waiter this time around was very friendly and patient with us. I got my usual when I go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant - tamale and enchiladas. The tamale was steaming when it came out and the mole had a distinct spice flavor to it. The enchiladas were eh in my opinion. The rice was over cooked and the verde sauce didn't seem homemade like the verde they served with the chips. The cheese empanada and chorizo tacos were good. The Molcajete they serve here though is one of the best in the area. We also got a burrito to go when we ordered and it was ready by the time we signed the check.

Delicious food, accommodating and friendly staff!…read more We had made plans to go to another mexican restaurant in the area for a family birthday get together for seven of us. Athough we had called ahead the day before and were assured everything was fine, we got there and the place was locked up and it looked like a private party was being prepared for. No signs indicated anything... it was just locked and dark. Thoroughly depressed and embarrassed, I Googled for "Mexican restaurants near me" and El Ranchero popped up less than 1/2 a mile away! We piled into our cars and headed right over. I saw the place looked small, and looked like a take out place with a few tables (think Chinese takeout type vibe) so I went in first and asked the young man behind the counter if he could do a party of 7. No problem.. a staff member helped me push to tables together and I went outside to wave my party in. Staff was all smiles and Sal, the young man, helped us navigate the menu and took our order complete with some custom requests. No hassle, no nasty looks... just pleasant service and a great vibe. They even brought us an ice bucket for our BYOB sangria without being asked. The food itself was delicious and as fresh as can be... get the guacamole! I dont think it's on the menu as a stand alone item, but it was great! The portions are VERY generous and many containers were taken home! I'm disappointed that the other place screwed us that hard, but it was worth it in the end because El Ranchero came through epically and is now at the top of the list for my next Mexican food urge.

I have stop and…read morequestion, where they have been eating Mexican food and is this the only place they have ever eaten and don't have a measurement of good Mexican food, because its more than tacos, burritos and enchiladas. I have eaten here and each time no bueno. Being hispanic, I eat a lot of Mexican food, all over this country, because it is not only my culture, but my comfort food and my go to when in a new town. Rice, dry no flavor. Beans no flavor. I have had the tacos with mole sauce- they do not serve mole here, I have had much mole in my life, this is not it. Tacos are not full, they are limited in the actual protein, as my family calls them, "sad tacos" "Tacos Tristes" Salsa is okay, I could eat a ton of salsa and chips but not here. Guacamole- yes, I have also had it here and it defies me how they use the molcajete from table to table and just scoop it into a flat dish to serve.. what?! and then move on to the next table- like, what if you can't eat onions or hate the taste of cilantro or allergic to chili peppers? My husband refuses to eat here and will drive to Freehold, Jackson even Belmar for Mexican food, but not the 3 blocks to Juanitos. I cannot in good conscious give it more that 2 stars- if you think this is the best, then okay, but you really need to expand your palate and head elsewhere.

Food was authentic and service was good. Nothing fancy here just Authentic Mexican food. You can BYOB if u want to make it a bit more special, but it is what it is. Fresh ingredients made while you wait. I had the tacos carnitas with rice and beans and my daughter had the Chicken tostadas with rice and beans. Authentic Mexican Sodas too if you like that as well. We got there late, like 9:15 and he warned us it was going to be 20 minute wait because they had just taken a big order ahead of us. We said we did not mind and we sat to wait. Would most certainly recommend if you are into trying authentic food in local little spots.
