    I ordered takeout from El Ranchero a few weeks ago while in Wickenburg. It was a great experience! Quick, affordable, and--most importantly--delicious! The order taker was pleasant and quick to answer the questions that I had about the menu. I ordered the chicken enchilada combo, as I wanted to sample their rice and beans along with the enchiladas. The green sauce was delicious and the enchiladas themselves were very tasty. Though I was only in the restaurant briefly as I had a takeout order, it was definitely a cute little establishment and one that I would visit to dine in! I will certainly be back during future trips to Wickenburg.

    So glad we stopped here on our way to Vegas. The food is so good. Homemade and very flavorful. Some recipes are listed on the menu as coming from the grandma's 100 year old recipe (tamal) I had the shredded beef and pork tamale and the husband had the ground beef burrito. We both had the red sauce. We both said to each other that we should stop here for dinner on our way home from Vegas because it was that good. The free chips and 3 dips (2 salsa and 1 bean dip) were delicious. Pros 1. Tasty homemade food. Seems like you're eating in a Mexican family's home 2. Prices for most things on the menu are reasonable 3. Service was nice and very welcoming Cons 1. We were seated in the back room which was a bit dark. Would prefer front room which is lighter and brighter. At night, it probably doesn't matter either way.

    Once again, as we were passing through (we actually went 40 miles out of our way to go here!) we dined at the best Mexican restaurant we've tried in many years! We stopped here on our way south to Phoenix and again, on our way to Havasu. All I can say is Yummy!!!! Tacos and A chili relleno today. Wish I would have had room for the shredded beef enchilada again, as it was also amazing on our last visit two days ago. Please do not pay attention to any of the bad reviews saying the food is it hot, both times we dined here, it was so hot we had to wait to eat it! DO NOT PASS on this restaurant if you are anywhere near Wickenburg! Can't wait to visit again.

    Delicious meal in Wickenburg on the way home from Las Vegas. Really friendly service staff. Huge…read moreportions - we should have shared!

    My wife and I ate at the bar and had the pleasure of having service delivered by Jon (Jonathan)…read more We're from out of town and he was just as warm and welcoming to us as if we'd been coming there as locals for years. He greeted us promptly (pretty important in a bar situation), asked us if we planned on having food as well as drinks, and got our experience off on the right foot immediately. John was really helpful with menu knowledge and recommendations and he was personable and easy to talk to. Managed to check on us periodically despite having a pretty full bar room to manage. He did it all smoothly. The food exceeded our expectations too! Sure I just got a burger and fries but the burger was excellent, juicy, cooked exactly to my medium well preference, and the bacon was memorably good (I just got American cheese and bacon). I liked having the pickles, lettuce, and tomato on the side and he even asked in advance what condiments I wanted (sometimes I have to chase down a server after they deliver the burger and ask for mayo or mustard, not here). The fries were pretty good as well. My wife got the steak with rice and both were really good (the rice wasn't all that hot in temperature but still really tasty). Steak really was delicious and done to perfect medium well again. The carrots that accompanied the steak were great too! And the drinks were great, too! Pinot Grigio was really good and very reasonably priced and I had a great huckleberry peach margarita; my wife loved her whiskey (I think it was Pendleton Reserve maybe?). The friendly and welcoming ambiance didn't stop with Jon, either. Every server and staff member we interacted with was great. We had a really great time here and plan to return here the very next day on our last night in Wickenburg. P.S. I appreciate that the receipt had the largest font on a restaurant receipt that I've ever seenx
