We were greeted at the door by the kindest lady. She made a great suggestion for both of us. We were brought chips and salsa. The salsa was a little too hot for me but the flavor was great. I hope to go back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Super quick service, love the mom and pop feel. Had jeuvos rancheros, but asked for a tostada instead of a tortilla. Near my work so I will be back to try more! read more

Not bad, not great. Mid. Ordered carne asada plate, meat was mid with flavor and cut, rice wasn't the best, beans were very runny, tortillas were good. Might try something else. I expected better considering the plate cost me 20.00 read more

We were in the plaza and were hungry so we decided to stop here for El Luncho. El Ranchero is nestled behind the Can't Stop Smokin' BBQ restaurant and is between the Sherwin Williams paint store and a barber shop. The menu offers all your favorite burritos, tacos, and plates in many different proteins as well as some good vegetarian options. It's nice to see a place that offers nopales/cactus and I'll definitely have to try that next time. The restaurant is smallish but has a decent number of tables and chairs inside, as well as a couple of 2-top tables outside in the shade. We decided to eat outside around noon and it wasn't too bad with our beverages to cool us down. I did start getting a little too hot towards the end of our meal though. I had the chile relleno plate and a large horchata. I also had a bite of the carnitas burrito. While we waited for our meals we made use of the very nice salsa bar. It's probably the most health-safe salsa bar I've seen since it has a hood/cover on it so that everything isn't out in the open when not in use. When we were here there were 2 types of green salsa, a red salsa, pickled jalapenos, red onions, and some sort of coleslaw looking condiment, just to name a few items! The chile relleno plate was pretty good! The green chile was large, stuffed with ooey gooey cheese and I liked the light batter. It was a tad bit oily but it wasn't too bad. It came with a plentiful portion of beans and rice, along with 4-5 tortillas. You have your choice of corn or flour, I chose corn. They were super hot which was perfect since corn tortillas don't taste that great when they're cold. The carnitas burrito was about average in the realm of meaty burritos. It had the carnitas pork, refried beans, rice, and chopped cilantro+ onion. The horchata was cool, sweet and refreshing. Service was friendly. If you're in the area this is a good option for Mexican food! read more

This is probably the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The meat tasted old and the cheese enchilada was little a hard tortilla with cold shredded cheese-they didn't even bother to toss it in the microwave to melt the cheese. Rice was bland beans were canned. All around horrible. 0/10 do not recommend. read more

I got the chilaquiles with green sauce, scrambled eggs and carne asada. It came with the rice and beans and it was delicious! I got it to go so next time I might ask for sauce on the side so it's still crispy when I get home but I would 100% recommend and will be going back! read more

El Ranchero Mexican Grill - Chilaquiles Breakfast with carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

This is a small, hole in the wall breakfast and lunch place.in a strip mall that always is crowded to that was a good sign. Owner operated, he is friendly, talkative and makes authentic food. . Small salad bar to the right of the counter. Has fresh and bolt led salsas, hot carrots $ slaw. Both bottled salsa I took to the table were good. I had a Carne Asada tostada. Meat was flavorful ingredients fresh. For a delicious, non chain, small business supporting, Mexican food experience, this is the great fast place. read more

El Ranchero Mexican Grill - Carne Asada Tostada - Mexican Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Very homestyle, Mexican restaurant. Obviously a family owned place. The prices were decent for the food that you were getting. The Torta was definitely the star of our breakfast, even though the rice and beans tasted as if they were basically from a can or a box. The huevos rancheros were cooked nicely. However, the sauce tasted as if it was just standard tomato sauce. read more

I work across the street from this small restaurant & their tacos are seriously delish! So far Ive only tried the tacos from here because we order them for lunch pretty often. Today I didnt feel like cooking so we picked up some tacos to go, 4 birria, 4 asada, 4 pastor & we split them, while ordering ahead of time i found out that they have TACO TUESDAY $1.00 tacos! Glad to know moving forward because we will be ordering from here for dinner more often. The woman that came to take the payment & the man that brought out the food were so sweet, they reminded me of my parents, so welcoming & helpful. Also, they gave us so much salsa, usually restaurants are cheap about it but not this place! If you live around the Chandler area, give them a shot, because incase you didnt know its hard to find tacos with just cilantro & onion in the valley, and they got them! Supporting small business! read more

My daughters and I came in about 10 minutes before close without realizing they were about to close! They were so sweet and did not rush us at all! Not only is their customer service amazing but their food was so good!! I would definitely check this place out! read more

Ordered delivery for Cinco De Mayo, because, tacos! We were excited to try this place, as it's super close to our house and got decent reviews. I got the pastor mini taco place, hubs got the carne asada mini taco plate, and we split a quesadilla and order of chips and salsa. The food was decent, I prefer my pastor spicy and this was not, but the seasoning was still good. The salsas were tasty, I loooove a good green salsa, and the beans and rice were ok, nothing special. I will say the flavor might have been off a bit because everything was a little cold when we got it (downside to delivery) so I'd Iove to try this place again when we can dine in! We also got 2 large orders of horchata and it was soooo good! We love horchata, and this was definitely up there as one of the better ones we've had! read more

The burritos were just kinda, ok...wife said her veggie burrito was very bland...the quac had a strange taste to it and the rice actually tasted a little almost like a cleaning solution...both tasted too odd to eat...the reason they got even 2 stars is how quickly it was ready and delivered by grubhub Disappointing cause we want to support local restaurants especially with what's going on in the world read more

3.5 stars. Anti COVID burrito with steak was disappointingly okay. I guess I had high expectations, having eaten a lot of good burritos while passing through Arizona, but this burrito just wasn't that good. I think it's something to do with the pinto beans. I've never had a problem with beans in my burritos, but in this one, the beans just tasted a bit unappetizing. The flavors weren't very strong or exciting, and I was left feeling rather disappointed. The portion was good though and very filling. read more

Nice ambiance and spice levels but overall flavors lacking. Chick enchiladas were ground chicken. Minimal sauce. Salsa bar good with better than average options. Tv was blasting a Mexican soap. Not as good as the many -bertos in the area. read more

Best new find of 2022!!!! Friendly, clean, amazing salsa bar.. don't forget to try the fresh pickled red onions! Everything was seasoned perfectly!!! I had two crunchy chicken tacos and beans! (Took pic 1/2 way through) Hubby had the same. We are officially going to be regulars! Thank you for doing such an amazing job! read more

I decided to stop here this morning for some tacos and I am glad I did. The tacos were delicious. I like when the meat has a little fat juice because it is so much more flavorful with the onions, cilantro and lime juice. The place was awesome. The only thing was it took a little longer than most to get the food but nothing that would stop me from coming back. Sorry I forgot to take pictures. I would highly recommend this place!!! read more

Came here during my lunch break! The owner (Elias I think) took my order with a smile and a couple of jokes. Really friendly guy who clearly enjoys what he does. He gave me a few recommendations on what to order. I ended up getting the chicken enchiladas, which were very tasty. The plate came with rice and beans on the side. I also ordered a small horchata which was really refreshing on a hot afternoon. My coworker had the bean and cheese burrito - simple but delicious. Behind the cash register is part of the kitchen. You can watch the "assembly line" and see your food getting prepared right in front of you. The restaurant isn't fancy but the food is great quality, authentic Mexican food. It was clean and felt welcoming. I will definitely return!! read more

Street taco combo 8/10 highly recommend. So good n fresh the steak is seasoned well. I always get cilantro, onion and cheese... mmmm so good

I very been coming here since byron owned it I always get the pazole soup it's great everyone is friendly here and welcoming. Great little hole in the wall place to eat the only thing that kinda sucks is the location next to a dispensery so the parking can be limited you will most likely have to compete with the people trying to buy their weekend weed. read more

Ordered 4 mini Tacos. 2 asada, pastor, birria. At first look not impressed. The red salsa is good. The asada is not grilled meat. No limes or cucumbers on the side. About 5 pieces of meat. Will have half of the tortilla left with no meat. read more

I've recently tried the sandwiches (tortas) and they're really good as well, fyi.

Huuuge portion!! I went here for lunch and ordered the chimichanga. The portion was huuuuge! I put a dime in the picture for scale! I got it with shredded chicken and I loved it! My experience was good, but the plastic utensils were very small, so it was a bit difficult to eat such a large chimichanga with a tiny fork. Also, the guy who I placed my order with, didn't offer if I wanted to order a drink, and it didn't occur to me to order any, so I just wish he kind of upselled more. I would definitely recommend the restaurant! And don't forget to order a drink! read more
