i ordered carry out. Whoever pacled the bag put all the heavy stuff on the top. The result was two smashed entries and a smashed bag of chips. Food was good. I hope I can get the stains out of my car. There are too many other Mexi restaurants in the area to put up with this. Buh-bye read more

awful service, nasty attitude, no good. employee was very nasty about an order. Made us pay for missing item even with prove. Made us pay $15 for a small cup of cheese and chips. read more

Prolly the best Mexican food in Clermont. Am I right? Higher than average quality salsa, chimichangas, soup, even the ceviche was good. It's not lean and newer looking. Not too worn like many. We received an item we didn't order and were charged because of the language barrier and we didn't receive something we ordered but were charged for. Increase the bill by 20%. That's unacceptable. Check your bill. read more

ONLY APPLICABLE FOR DELIVERY! Mentioned this point first so as to not cause any confusion. It was a weekend and I went in and ordered through UberEATS. Things ordered: Vegetarian Quesadilla (with rice and guac) and flan. Honestly, I don't have much to complain on the food-food aspect. It tasted pretty much like other Taquerias I've been to. It's not the best tasting food, but it's better than fast food, for sure. The portions are alright, probably not as generous with sides as others are. However, not bad. I'd still recommend for the food. My issue was packaging. The flan came in a small styrofoam white hinged box. The caramel liquid leaked out (obviously). The quesadilla was packed in a foil-ly box and was completely soggy. The salsa was kept in a Styrofoam white sippy cup. So all in all, terrible packing. And that is my sole issue. I'd suggest dining in, definitely not ordering delivery or carryout. read more

El Ranchero - Flan - Mexican Near Me - Milford, Ohio

The salsa picosa is amazing. It's family run, and the family truly are good people. Love them all and will eat here whenever I can!

I just called to place a pickup order. I ordered an entree and a 10$ chorizo cheese dip appetizer. The meal comes with chips and salsa and I asked to have another bag of chips for the appetizer. She told me the appetizer does not come with chips and it would be a charge. How in the world does a dip not come with chips? She sounded young and rude and argued with me the whole time. She claimed to be the manager. What a joke. I won't be ordering from them anytime soon. They lost a customer. read more

Great place for Mexican food. Hidden in a small strip of businesses behind White Castle but don't let that fool you. Our group had several good dishes, from chicken quesadillas, chicken fajitas, monster burrito, tacos carnitas and crazy fries. Portions are large. Monster burrito is MASSIVE. Food is similar to other Mexican restaurants with sides of refried beans and rice. Decor is inviting and cheery. The BATHROOMS were very upscale. Live edge counters and tile and stone work. I was impressed by the quality toilet paper (no it wasn't the typical cheap crap...pun intended). STAFF was amazing. Very friendly, prompt and authentic. Put this one on your list. read more

El Ranchero is nestled in small strip mall in Milford that is easy to miss. But wait its worth the adventure to search for this out of the way location. The foods flavor and presentation is spot on. They have many great beers on tap and of course the Margaritas are always spot on. The salsa is more the smooth then the chunky styles of salsa survived in many Mexican restaurants locally. But this Salsa has a great little kick it up flavor and spice. One thing that I never do is order the same dish at any restaurant more then twice... But here I can not get away from this dish with shredded Chicken.. Love it.. Chilaquiles Mexicanos (rojos or verdes) Delicious tortilla chip casserole with slow cooked chicken or beef smothered with cheese and sauce. Served with guacamole salad and Mexican rice. read more

Took forever for only one meal. Service was not attentive at all. Ask another waiter for help and he was even worse. Never again will not come again. read more

You'll have room for dessert! Chicken fajitas and chicken burritos with mole sauce was dinner and both were very good. I'm picky about my mole sauce, I think the best is balanced by both sweet and spicy. This was a good mole sauce but not as sweet to my liking. Their chips and salsa are very good, the salsa is chunky so it's a hit in my opinion. The chimichanga cheesecake was good but I wished the ice cream portion would have been larger. Another guest in our party ordered fish tacos, they looked delicious. Their presentation of all the dishes was exceptional. The good: This place has fair pricing to other Mexican restaurants. This is a good place to celebrate a birthday, they make the birthday guest get noticed for sure! I love that they have a lunch menu offered 7 days per week from 11am - 2:30 pm. The employees are very nice and knowledgeable about their menu. They have a decent size menu with several offerings. The restaurant was very clean and so were the restrooms. The bad: The portion sizes. I felt their portions were not as generous as they should be. Other guests in our party noted the same about their meals. read more

First time here! Definitely not the last! The best value for the money. Service was great and the food is beyond compare. We found it by accident but we are not disappointed. Come here and try the food! I recommend the fajitas and the guacamole! I used to hate guacamole but this has changed my mind. read more

El Ranchero - Best Fajitas EVER!! - Mexican Near Me - Milford, Ohio

Ok so I eat out every Wednesday. It's my day off to clean, do laundry and grocery shop so, I treat myself to lunch! I went to El Picante in Loveland right at 11. I was seated at the front door in an empty restaurant and then watched them wait on everyone in parties of 2 or more before me even though I came I first. I got up and walked out and came here. I was greeted warmly and seated right away and not by the front door. Their chips are better and their salsa is a lot thicker than el picante. I ordered a two item lunch special for $7.99. I got a taco and a chimichanga with rice and beans. Everything was delicious! I had already quit going to the el picante on Branchhill due to horrible service I won't be going back to the one in Loveland across from Kroger anymore either. This is the second time they treated me poorly when dining alone. I take that into consideration when I tip so, it's definitely their loss! Looks like this is my new spot for Mexican lunch! read more

So to me, it looks like the reviews of this place are basically all over the floor. I can see why that is! The place was super clean and we were seated right away. But for as fast as we were seated, it took FOR-EVER for someone to take our order! Even after we looked around several times, and even after the busser yelled to the server (in spanish); it still took forever. The food....meh......great portions but still meh......... There are several Mexican spots in Milford so there is no need or desire to make a special trip here. read more

I went here a few days ago for the first time. I'm not big into smaller restaurants but it was my mothers birthday and she wanted to go here. I was really uncertain of what to expect. However when I got there, I felt really cozy with the placement of everything in the restaurant. I really still didn't know what to expect with the food, so I ordered something familiar to me; a fajita chicken quesadilla. I was shocked by how good this was, it made me almost want to order another one. The service here was really great too, checking in frequently and they were extremely polite. I hope this gets more attention because what I had was amazing and I bet the rest of the menu was as well! read more

After leaving Bob Evans due to the vibe that service was going to be horrible we came here for dinner it was absolutely wonderful! I had the fajita taco salad and couldn't eat it all. It was by far the best taco salad I've ever had. So happy we left Bob Evans and came here. read more

This has become our go-to Mexican place in Milford. For 15+ years we frequented Acapulco's down near Lila Ave, but two things happened. 1) We moved to the other side of Milford, and 2) it changed ownership (now called Maya) and seems to be in a spiral. El Ranchero is like the Acapulco's of old. Service is fast, food is good, and the folks there are hustling. All of these places have highs and lows, but right now compared to Maya, Cazadores, and (on the Loveland side) El Picante, this place is tops. read more

Actually the food here is a bit bland. I've tried it a few times and honestly, the flavor is just not there.

This place has gone downhill over the last 6 months to the point I'm done with them. The food is OK, but the service has declined to the point of terrible. Set your expectations low, prepare for your server to forget items from your order and then disappear so they can shoot the sh!t with the other wait staff. Do this and you won't be disappointed. STAY AWAY. read more

Sadly Taco Bell is better and cheaper. I ordered three ground beef tacos and it came with a spoonful of ground beef and four pieces of iceberg lettuce. charged me three bucks apiece. Got a tamale and it wasn't even edible. I never eat at places like this and was in a pinch. I'll be going back to not eating in places like this read more

Strip mall location; unassuming appearance. WOW the service is great. We were hardly in our seat before warm tortilla chips & salsa was on the table. The price is very reasonable; portions are huge; quality is outstanding--this is our first visit and we will be back!!! read more

My husband and myself get out here as often as we can. We have been coming here since our son was about a month old, he's currently 13 months and we have never had a problem. The molcajete is excellent, fajitas, carnitas, Asada, anything you order is delicious. My husband always orders me a big margarita, usually lime or peach and they never disappoint. We always sit at the same table and have the same waitress. She is incredibly nice and cares about our order. I always make it a point to tip her a little more than usual because she checks on us frequently and she makes sure our experience is great. My son loves their beans and rice, and he doesn't eat just any restaurant beans. I have read these reviews and I'm appalled. Any poor reviews of this place are because of the customer because we have NEVER had a problem here and we will continue to eat here. If you can't afford to pay 7$ for an appetizer, you shouldn't be dining out. Larosas costs more than this place. It's always clean, fairly priced and the staff is very friendly. read more

30 minutes to receive food is a little beyond ridiculous. Glad we don't live around here and have to deal with the bs like this place.

Hello my good people. How are you? I haven't been here since last year and so yeah I'm bored that's why I'm writing this. It's good though. So go get some . And Chipotle if you read this give Dora the explorer some free food. read more

This is not the first time I've experienced this at this type of restaurant. I'm sensing a trend. anyhow, I ordered from the ala carte menu and pointed to my selections. A beef quesadilla and a chicken quesadilla. I've never been here before tonight so i didnt know how they prepared their food. The waitress said. It's grilled chicken. I said ok? And that was it. We get our food and one is grilled chicken chunks, and the other thin pieces of steak...beef, I suppose. Right? Anyway. We get the bill and she charged us 7.00 a piece. The menu said 3.99. So I said ma'am, I believe this is wrong. (It also said fajita on the receipt btw) she said no, you ordered grilled chicken. I said, well i pointed to what i wanted on the appetizer menu and you told me it was grilled chicken, also I did not get fajita mix. She kept saying sorry, you have to pay this price. I felt like I was in a twilight zone, or on an episode of pranked. It was so odd. I paid for the food...but let her know that I did not order what she had on the receipt. She lied to have the price jacked up and then tried to make me look like an idiot. Jokes on you, lady. Be aware!! And explicitly state what you want. Dont take their word for it. Food was just okay. read more

This place is great! My favorite mexican place in milford. I used to go to cazadores, but when i was paying $13 dollars for food and a drink, and then 2 weeks later $19 for the same thing i had to find another place. My friend and i go here every saturday, or for the most part and Carlos makes the trip even more pleasant! Best mexican in milford, i've took my whole family here! read more

THANK GOD FOR THIS PLACE. This is the first place I have been in Ohio that actually has spicy foods. Customer service here is wonderful, the server brought us samples of each of their salsas and sauces so that we could determine which one we wanted on our meal. Drinks are reasonably priced and not too strong, not too subtle. We ordered the fajita plate and the chipotle shrimp, and both were divine. We have struggled to find a place in this state that isn't bland and lacking flavor, but we finally found our new favorite place! I would have attached photos but I devoured it too quickly to even have a chance. Highly recommend this place, and absolutely will be here every weekend. read more

Food is fantastic, prices are low, service is impeccable and the personnel are friendly and hardworking. My husband always orders a burrito tonala. My usual order is the chicken fajita quesadilla.

Word is spreading about this incredible restaurant! read more

Food was very disappointing. Fish tacos were nothing but pieces of fish wrapped in tortillas. When we asked for some sour cream they charged us extra. Thought it would be better under new management, but we won't be going back anytime soon. Don't waste your time or money here. read more
