With that comes rolls which are equally high quality and fresh, not obviously reheated from a fridge like your fast food chicken establishments. I wish I could speak more about the sides, but the mashed potatoes are so on point I've never had anything else. Location is a bit tight for parking-mind your timing when you go. It's near the university and I've been stuck in traffic when they block off the roads for football games. Also note hours-they're closed Sunday and Monday and aren't open late.

The chicken was the stand out food item here. Cooked to order and by the time we got home 15 minutes later it was still hot and fresh. Really really delicious! For sides we got 2 biscuits, family fries, large mac and cheese, and coleslaw. The biscuits were okay although not my favorite, a little softer and sweeter than I expected. The fries and coleslaw were good, and the mac and cheese was really good I just wish the large portion had been a bit bigger to share. The bucket of chicken came with a large cup of mild sauce which was plenty, and then we also added on 2 small cups of hot sauce to try. My favorite was definitely the hot sauce, very vinegary and perfectly spicy! The staff were friendly when we were picking up too. I would definitely return or recommend to a friend.

We are always open to Mexican food wherever we are, so this was our lunch selection. Ms T ordered a Quesadilla with Chicken. She received a very large quesadilla with tons of chicken. It needed a little salt and seasoning, but it was moist. She had planned to take half with us, but somehow it all got eaten. I chose Chilaquiles Verdes with eggs on top. The chilaquiles themselves were a little overdone, but it is not an easy thing to do to get them perfectly textured. The green sauce was tart and very good and I really did like the addition of the eggs. I expected one egg, but they piled on two. A lot of this did go on the road with me and it made a part of two additional meals. El Ranchero was definitely worth a try. We drove on, quite satisfied. Again, don't be dissuaded by a three star rating. In fact it was a strong three stars for me. This is based on one visit and two items. I still consider three stars to be A-OK.

Still good! -The Meji Glizzy (12″ Beef hotdog wrapped in jalapeno and bacon on a bun with mayo, slaw, cheese, onion, cilantro, guajillo sauce, avocado, caramelized onion, and potato straws) was a delicious take on a hot dog, if a little messy. -The Ranch Waters were light and refreshing, as they should be.
