Nice renovatio. A huge menu choice both food and drinks. Not sure why they are serving salsa in styrofoam bowls, but whatever. Orded the Texan Molcajete w/out the cactus, comes with rice, beans, and tortillas. Good solid food. I'll be back. read more

The food here is mediocre but it's close to home so we have tried on three occasions to like their food. But after today we will no longer give them our service when there are at least 3 Mexican restaurants within 15 minutes of our house that are infinitely better, more consistent, and don't charge a fee for to go orders. Never again. read more

Great place to enjoy Mexican favs. Several specials that are really good. Service has been great also.

Always a solid spot for Mexican food in Peachtree City! Most recently went on a Thursday night. Service was quick and friendly. We ordered guacamole which was subpar, but the chips & salsa was good. I got the Texas Fajitas Quesadilla which was a huge portion and very tasty. Overall, always a good experience here. read more

West Park best chips and Salsa in town. We all ways ask for Lalo you will not go wrong here.

Always great food and service. Frequent about every other week and haven't tried anything that we didn't like.

Worst burrito award for take out. The burrito was not rolled and saturated in a quarter inch of liquid I was hungry and disappointed

Was just fantastic and I absolutely love this place. Cannot wait to come back every single week and make sure that I get the Baja nachos. No beans the best order you can ever get- classic Margarita is a great addition read more

skip this one! over priced and the food is unspectacular/bland. only one of us received our meal and the other was completely forgotten. fortunately the management was kind enough to give us a discount. i can look past slow service if the food is at least good. but with the way my stomach is now feeling, i want to stick my fingers down my throat and discard the few bites i ate! read more

Saturday night was riding around looking for a good restaurant and found this one. The atmosphere was nice and we were seated immediately. I chose the steak fajitas was really looking forward to see how tasty they would be. I asked for well done and my meat was tough. I was disappointed but like giving a place a chance for the first time. I want be retuning first & last. I can say my doggies going to enjoy this nice treat so the steak will not go to waste. read more

One of the few PTC Mexican Restaurants we really like. Guacamole and chips are delicious and I love their burritos. This is one of our go to places for delicious Mexican food. Servers always nice and attentive as well. Keep up the good work. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DISGUSTED. My co workers and I went to this Mexican restaurant on our lunch break to have lunch as a group. The experience when we first sat down was overall decent nothing to rave about. We ordered our food everything was fine... until we got our food.... One of my coworkers ordered a taco salad. Pretty simple dish; meat, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and.... Beans. Well, one of the beans wasn't like the rest.... One bean was quite large and had LEGS... YEP SHE HAD A ROACH IN HER TACO SALAD. She was very calm and polite about the situation. She called our waiter over and showed him the bug. He simply grabbed the plate from her and walked away into the kitchen. We didn't see him again for a good 15 minutes. He never said anything to us again about the roach... not even an apology. To say the least we were all disgusted at this point. As we were finishing up another coworker noticed a black glob floating around in her drink... we fished the black blob out and put it on a napkin and what is it... MOLD. She had a large chunk of mold floating around in her sweet tea. I took the napkin with the mold on it to our waiter and another waitress that was with him and I said "We just found this in one of our drinks, it's mold" he takes the napkin from me and looks at it and then says "oh it's from the ice machine" I looked dead at him and told him they needed to clean their ice machine that's disgusting. I walked away after that, applauded that he would try to justify there being mold in our drink. He again did not say anything else and neither did the lady with him. No apologies were ever given. Moral of the story... DO NOT EAT HERE. Also I included a wonderful photo of the "bean" read more

El Ranchero - Roach in Taco Salad - Mexican Near Me - Peachtree City, Georgia

No WIFI. Wouldn't even care but we were there specifically to finally take a break, eat something and talk real estate. Kinda hard to do business with no connection. So, if this is something you need to have, you may want to go to another place for business. Food wise, everything was average. Allegedly they said that after the first bowl of tortilla chips, they would charge you, but that did not happen. Tamales were good. Music was loud but then they sat us under the speaker, which I hadn't realized at first. Bathrooms were clean this time of day. read more

Been awhile since we've been here. We walked in and WOW what a renovation. The place looks fantastic. Everything has been replaced, remodeled, refreshed, and painted. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. We found the staff very attentive and smiling. Our server was very proud of the new restaurant and it showed. We watched a booth being cleaned and it was more than just a wipe down. We were impressed. The food is very typical American-Mexican menu and it arrived hot and pretty fast. This is our "go to" Mexican restaurant. read more

Slow to no service with beyond rude servers. Vastly overpriced as well. We also got food poisoning.

My 6 yr old son and I went here for lunch and the moment we walked in I was so impressed with the makeover. The floors and booths had been redone and it was beautiful. Unfortunately, the service and food were not up to par. Our server was nice but extremely slow. She had no sense of urgency whatsoever. At one point we needed napkins so I got up to find our server sitting at a booth applying makeup!!! We were at this restaurant for an hour which is ridiculous! The food used to be so much better but it lacks in flavor now. We will not be returning anytime soon. read more

We usually really like this place. The first stop was to the rest room to wash my hands with soap and water prior to my meal. No soap of any kind! What are the workers using when they go to the restroom? When I was finishing the last Couple of bites of my quesadilla, the server (female in a bright pink top) came and picked up my plate while I was eating and asked if I was finished (she already had her hand in the beans that was I was planning to eat with some chips.). The food was ok, but her service was terrible. Not to mention, the drinks were never serviced or checkups done. There are much better Mexican restaurants in the area. Try those! read more

SLOW service. Multiple servers just standing around on their phones. Drinks costly but watered down. Noisy with pandora playing with ads. Food was bland. Disappointing experience for over $100. Will not be back. No wait to sit down was only "positive" but clearly for a reason. Poorly managed and lacking quality read more

Food was great, my steak was some of the best I've had at a mexican restaurant! Salsa was also very tasty. Server was attentive and quick to help. The place looks amazing too, will definitely have to check out the bar next time! 10/10 recommend! read more

Tons of great food, cheap price. Extremely attentive staff. I don't bother with other places anymore, El Ranchero consistently gets everything right and also is very attentive to my wife's onion allergy. That's usually a deal breaker for Mexican food, but not here! read more

SO DISAPPOINTING This was our third visit since the remodeling and our first outdoor dinning. The first visit was excellent but each subsequent visit the experience gets worse. The table was dirty, the floor was unswept and there were weeds growing against the wall. All signs of poor management. We were seated promptly and the server acknowledged us by asking if we cared for a drink. When he returned I asked him to wipe the table and he asked "where" then walked away. We had to ask for napkins. Our food order came with no silverware. After several minutes watching our food get cold, we decided to get the silverware ourselves inside the restaurant. The (cold) food was marginally ok, the margaritas were overpriced and terrible (served in a pint glass that was mostly ice). We sat several minutes waiting for our check while watching our server involved in conversation with other employees. After approximately 15 minutes we finally walked to the front desk to pay. Note: while waiting, we watched the busboy drop a glass which shattered at the table next to us. We The busboy picked up the large pieces of glass but never swept the remaining chards. So dangerous for children and dogs. Never again. read more

El Ranchero - Chicken taco - Mexican Near Me - Peachtree City, Georgia

El Ranchero has great prices and their service is positive. I love their frozen Texas margaritas if they are made by someone who does well making them. In the past, I have had to have them made over more than once because they tasted off. The staff is great at making special requests when it comes to the menu and offers great recommendations. Their steak fajitas are delicious! Love ordering this and enjoying the chips and salsa. Yum! I have tried some soups on the menu, but they are not my favorite compared to other local Mexican restaurants. This is great place to hang out by the bar or outside. It's an awesome environment and enjoyable. read more

We tried this place on a Sunday night, fairly early. They were not slammed and didn't seem under-staffed, but service was still very slow. We had to work to flag down our server a couple of times. Comparing this branch to the one in central PTC, this one has some advantages. It is newer, whereas the other location appears to have been there much longer. This location is more spacious, whereas the original location seems a bit cramped. I would say that overall the older location has more 'character', in terms of carved-wood booths, etc. Also, the branch at Braelinn definitely has more available parking. In terms of the food, there shouldn't be much if any difference. I have only eaten at the other location a few times, so it was hard to judge. I didn't notice a real difference in the food itself here. It was average, decent tex-mex. Based on our experience, I'm more likely to return to the other branch if we opted for an El Ranchero locally. read more

Family who live in this area recommended this restaurant for lunch. He is a regular here and it is his favorite Mexican restaurant in Peachtree City. The portions are huge and I even had to take a doggy bag for my soup. They are very generous with replenishing the chips and salsa. The chicken and rice soup was extremely tasty with lots of shredded white meat and fresh cilantro. The decor is beautiful and the restaurant was very clean. There's also outdoor patio dining, a nice sized bar, and large TVs in the larger dining area as well. The servers are very attentive and friendly. The prices are reasonable especially for the quality of food and the portions, and there is a lunch menu as well for Monday through Friday read more

ok, my third time gave me a new appreciation for this place. especially since I have now tried other "Mexican" places in the area. This is definitely the best. of the lot. I skipped the items on the menu I tried last time and stayed with the always-safe-on-a-menu-staple: fajitas!! I don't know what spice mix the rubbed the chicken, steak and veggies with (it may have been fajita seasoning from Kroger) but it was GOOD. Traditional dishes include meat, bell peppers, onions. That's what I got. I was really glad because after my Chile Rellano fiasco I was scared. My fiance had the Speedy Gonzales, which is a taco and enchilada. He orders nothing else and I really don't understand why. I would really like to see a dish that didn't include melted white American cheese. That would be nice. $1.25 margaritas at lunch!! read more

There's no public or guest wifi available, I wouldn't have an issue with this except the entire restaurant is a cellular dead zone for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and even Verizon. Because of this, I am unable to even use my phone's personal hotspot to create a wifi network for internet access on my laptop. This is a major deal breaker for those wanting to hold business meetings and lunches here. The food is excellent, but the lack of cellular service(Not the Restaurants Fault) means I am cut off from all outside comms while here. This could be resolved by setting up an onsite guest wifi network, but so far management has failed to implement this request. If you can deal with being cut off from the outside world for the duration of your visit, I highly recommend this place. The food and service are excellent, I wish management would leave the late 90's and setup wifi for guests, otherwise, this place would get five stars from me. Pro Tip: The young blonde waitress is the best, def request to be seated in her area if you see her working. read more

Ate there on a Saturday around 5PM. Asked for a drink menu, waiter said none available. Tables had NO setups, had to ask for salt. Waiter finally took our order and we didn't see him again till we were done eating, WITHOUT REFILLED DRINKS. This is a bar, right? We left and there was 10 empty and mostly unprepared tables with about 40 people waiting outside to get in. Clearly poorly managed. read more

i would give it 0 if i could. This one waitress is absolutely horrible. she always smells so bad like ABNORMALLY SMELLS and she is so slow. we've been waiting for over AN HOUR FOR OUR FOOD and i'm trying to keep my cool. She gives me an attitude EVERYTIME WE COME. she's leaning on the bar like a lazy bitch for the last ten min. never ever again i give up. read more

We have been eating here for many years. The service and food have improved dramatically in the last 12 months. Amidst Covid and staffing shortages, they have really stepped up! Tonight was phenomenal! Amazing food and our waitress Ayana was awesome! Good job El Ranchero management!! read more

Slow, but worth the trip. Food was great, lots of it and well cooked. They were very busy at 7:00 pm, but only a 5 minute wait.

This used to be the best El Ranchero in the area! The other PTC location is a million times better. It seriously tasted like the fajitas were cooked in butter and nothing else. I ordered the Texas fajitas but didn't get the shrimp that was supposed to come with them. After we told the waitress about it her response after about 15 minutes of discussing it with the manager and 2 other waiters was "I don't know what they're doing about it." Finally the manager came up and asked, "You want some shrimp with your fajita?" Um. Yes please because it's supposed to come with it?! By then we weren't even hungry anymore. Not a good experience at all. And on top of it all the chips were burnt. read more

there's an old saying, you can't go home again. the statement rings true with El Ranchero. i grew up in PTC, and my family has been going here for decades. i am not exaggerating when i say we prob ate there twice a week growing up. well, this past weekend is going to be the last time we ever go. my brother and his wife, met my daughter, my mom and myself at the cemetery to visit my dad on saturday. afterwards in a way of "celebrating" him we went to el ranchero. one of the things my brother and i remember so well about going here growing up is their cherry coke was grenadine and coke with maraschino cherries. it was the best version of that drink. so when the waitress came over to our table of 5, she brought one salsa and one basket of mostly crumbs. my brother asked for the cherry coke, and she told us no. they didn't have it. interesting. so my brother ordered a water instead. in fact the whole table ordered water, except me i ordered a sweet tea. we also asked for a large cheese dip, and more salsa and chips. when she walked away i made a comment to my brother about how crazy it was they wouldn't make the drink and some near by know it all waitress decided to chirp in and tell us it was bc they use the grenadine for certain drinks at the bar. the explanation was stupid, and it didn't help her case. order more grenadine. it's cheap. so we order our food. my brother and i both ordered chimichangas and hard beef tacos. i ordered my daughter a child cheese enchilada with cheese dip no red sauce. the waitress asked if we wanted our chimichangas fried? lol what? it's a chimichanga. if it's not fried isn't it just a burrito? so we tell her yes. anyway... food comes out, and nothing is actually hot. it's all mid temp if best. the cheese in my daughters enchilada isn't even melted. our chimichangas weren't fried. and they put cheese dip with jalapeño on my daughters food (shes 3) and so she wouldn't eat it bc it was too spicy. after sending our chimichangas back to have them cooked properly, i wasn't going to send anything else back. but the kicker is, we got our check and she charged us for TWO sweet teas. when i pointed it out to her, she told us it was bc of the refill. which was a BLATANT LIE. i actually went and looked at the menu up front and it doesn't not say there is a charge for refill on teas or sodas. just juice. she lied to get more money on a tip bc she knew she wasn't getting much from us. what a total shame this place has turned in to. i'm sure it's not the original owners anymore, and they have let their quality and their service go to garbage. i would say avoid this place at all cost and go to ANY OTHER MEXICAN RESTAURANT. don't give your money to a company that allows employees to lie and steal from customers for more tip. read more

I kept my receipt to turn in for an expense report then compared it to my credit card statement and found they padded it by 6.00. I won't ever be back. Watch out for crooks like these. read more

I'm going to be perfectly honest. The food here is not good. I like chips and salsa but the chips here have no taste at all. I won't eat them, not even with salsa. They're the worst chips of any Mexican restaurant around. The dishes I've had here are just always a disappointment. And the water here is not filtered. I drink filtered water and have for years so I know immediately and it tastes like tap water. No other restaurant I know has water that tastes like that. read more

They over charged me by 1.00 and added 1.10 for take out. So I paid 2.10 more than anticipated. And the little hussy who checked me out was so smug. It was her attitude, when I bought it to her attention, that got me. Had to go back to work, so I let it go. Decide a review would be better. # Neveragain read more

While i was visiting in the area my cousins and I popped in for drinks between appointments. I'm so glad that we did! The service was great and the drinks were excellent. This restaurant is already on my "places to go" list for drinks and dinner whenever I'm back in town. read more

Great little restaurant, I have zero complaints with any of the service. The server was wonderful, the food was great, the music was iffy at time because it would go to American pop but that's nothing in the grand scheme of it all, the margarita was great, overall very satisfied and would recommend it to anyone. read more

I don't think they know what they are doing. The servers for sure don't know the menu. They also don't know how to tell you if something is an up charge and when asked why i'm getting charged more they say "the menu has changed". Which is not correct, so she says oh well "soft tocos are an up charge & steak is up charge" i order the 2 any item combinations and my boyfriend ordered burrito Mexicanos. They said you can get beef tips so he said steak will be fine . She said okay and i got 2 soft tacos. Mind you now there is a picture in the menu by the any 2 item of soft tacos nothing being said about an up charge. I don't recommend this place, they will just up charge you with out saying anything and then you will have to pay it for it. read more
