Ok, I came here with my son to strictly order menudo and that's it! We are on a quest for the best menudo spots in the IE, that's how we found this place. I'll get into the food first and everything else after. We only tried the menudo, but this is by far one of the best places for menudo you will find. It is a little pricey in my opinion. But it also it very good and makes you forget the price. Not that it necessarily needs lemon or limes but I wish they would offer it. Now as far as ambiance goes: very hole in the wall vibe to it. Doesn't seem inviting, tables are wobbly, doesn't look clean. Needs to be remodeled. The look just isn't there. Service: it's fast food service. You order at the counter, serve your own drink. They don't bring the food to the table. No service other than taking your order. For me, this is a fast food restaurant. Table service would be great but the place is tiny. Come for the food, I'd honestly just take it to from now on. Try the menudo, you won't be disappointed. read more

I just feel like I have to refresh my previous review from about 10 months ago because this place deserves all the praise. If you're a fan of burritos, you absolutely HAVE to come and try the 3-meats breakfast burrito from El Ranchito Taco Shop on Stetson Ave. Seriously, this isn't just any burrito - it's packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned meats, and the kind of breakfast kick that sets the tone for your whole day. After trying a ton of spots, I can confidently say this is STILL the #1 restaurant for breakfast burritos. Don't sleep on this one, trust me you'll thank me later! read more

This place prices have gotten out of hand we paid about $65 for our order First off CARNE ASADA FRIES; stale old hard fries, also hardly any, burnt fries with oil all over. The carne asada burrito for $15 was double wrapped they legit rolled the entire tortilla around it almost twice because there was NOTHING in the burrito. So skimpy. I thought I'd give this place a try again but I need to find a new spot that take pride in food quality. Because this food taste like it was sitting there the asada tasted old read more

The food is good the service is fast and friendly the place is clean(including the restrooms which don't require you to ask for an ever changing code to use) prices are comparable to other restaurants. read more

Hard taco shells were store bought not freshly made. They just fell apart. I won't be back.

Their crispy tacos use El Paso type premade taco shells. Tasted like they forgot to precook it in the oven like these shells require. The enchilada was too salty and saucy. The chips weren't fresh either. The salsas were okay. I'd prefer Chipotle over this place. Not going back. read more

The staff was super rude. We arrived at the restraint at 8:30 pm. The website says they close at 10, but the window sign says 9. As a courtesy I waved at the cook from outside the doors with a thumbs up or thumbs down to signal if it was still open. He waved back with a come in signal and a thumbs up. The woman at the front counter was just on her phone looking down and had a disgusted look on her face. She looked back at the cook and turned back around and rolled her eyes and just yelled "no were closed" I didn't hear her so I said "excuse me" she replied "WE ARE CLOSED". I the. pointed to the sign and said that it says 9 o clock. She said "well the sign is wrong" I will never come back to this restaurant and I certainly wont let any of my friends or family come here either. worst experience ever. read more

First time visiting as I drove through the area. Great customer service and amazing food. They have an assortment of salsa which I love too. I ordered taquitos and a carne asada burrito. I was not disappointed. Food came fresh and hot (to the point I had to wait a few minutes for it to cool down). I'll definitely be returning... probably tomorrow read more

We were craving carne asada fries and this was the closest little shop. We decided to give it a try and over all was not disappointed.

I ordered a chili relleno, enchilada combination plate. To my great surprise I noted the relleno was topped with a slice of processed American cheese. I even asked my mother if my eyes were deceiving me and she affirmed it was sandwich cheese. The help border on rude and do not know the menu. Neither I or other family members will be returning to this sad food establishment. read more

We love this taco shop. The foos taste delicious every single time we have been there. The only thing is i have to always remember to take cash since they dont take any plastic cards, conveniently they do have an ATM machine inside. The salsas are fresh and good. I love the grilled chicken tostada salad. read more

We just moved to Hemet a few weeks ago. We were looking for Mexican food and came across this place. We loved it so much we went 3 times that week. We've had the carmita and Carne asada soft tacos, chorizo and eggs, a platter with a taquito, enchilada and shredded beef taco, potato tacos, French fries and of course rice and beans and everything has been delicious and everyone is super friendly. read more

The place is a hole in the wall but great food. The place ONLY TAKES CASH which is a huge downer. If you don't have cash there is an ATM machine that charges you a fee. Other than that the place is clean and gives you more than enough in portions. The cashiers are nice and helpful. I really recommend this place to eat Hispanic style food. read more

Worst taco shop ever! Nothing against the workers, the food is just trash! Very low quality and zero love!

Best carne asada in Hemet, meat is very tender will not find another place better than this one guaranteed.

Wonderful food very clean amazing service best Mexican food on this side of Hemet Guaranteed and you won't leave hungry try their lovely carrots onion and garlic jalapeño peppers and all their sauces sauces are delicious !!! read more

Food is really good. Customer service is great! Food comes out quick. One of the best fish tacos in town!

Ok. Food was worth 4 stars. Both Hubby and I liked it. I got Special F. Two beef tacos, rice, beans and a drink. Hubby got the grilled chicken tostada salad and a fish Taco. He liked it all but I kept hearing him say how good the shell to his tostada salad was. Love the bright red salsa. SO good I put it on everything. What brings it to 3 stars (i'd give 3.5 if I could) is: 1. Cash only. This little mama lives by her debit card. There is an ATM. Charged me $1.50 to use it. 2. The girls bathroom (i didn't see the guys) has no seat covers. It's not that they were out, there is NO container to even have them. Big no no. 3. Again, bano. There is no mirror. The wall above the sink it bare. There's a hole where maybe it used to be? So, would I come here to eat again? Yep. And if the bathroom got fixed I'd even bump the stars up to a 4. read more

Went there for the first time and it was delicious little annoyed that only take cash but luckily there is a ATM on site lol

Typical Taco shop Menu had all the usual items. I ordered one of there specials two shredded beef taco & two Sh. Beef taquitos. Comes with a drink. $. 8.49 . The problem was the shredded beef was bland had no seasoning no taste. Mexican food should have a good strong authentic taste something even some salt & pepper . This had nothing ?? Didn't taste bad!! But just no taste at all.Also they only except cash. No credit or debit cards. Will not came back. read more

Our favorite taco shop in town. Breakfast burritos with bacon and sausage, the best. All tacos and burritos!! Very quick .

Just a heads up if you order the carne asada special make sure to tell them no green sauce ( unless you like it of course) it's not clearly stated on the menu and even though I asked what the meal included, green sauce was never mentioned. $12 wasted on the bright side my sister really enjoyed her shredded beef tacos read more

I just want to say I love most of the taco shops but this one I was not impressed. I ordered the menudo and I was very dissatisfied with it, one it was to oily and the juice/soup was too thick. The meat tripe cuts we're the worst of the tripe meat, which in my opinion are the cheapest you can but at the meat market. There are better cuts. 2nd it was way over priced for a small container of it. And then I ordered tacos shredded beef. They had little meat, cheese and lettuce and no tomato, as expensive as that taco is it was just not worth it. Won't go there again. read more

I got the chili relleno combo with an enchilada and the red sauce on the enchilada was good but I've had better at other taco shops but the chili relleno was disgusting and flavor less. Also they laid a piece of kraft singles cheese on the top which tasted disgusting. Highly disappointed I couldn't even bring myself to eat it. On top of that the price was not worth it. Will not be returning here, and they only take cash I should've apparently known that, she implied. Overall the customer service was mediocre, food came out quick and bland, of all the taco shops around I wouldn't even consider this one again. read more

El Ranchito Taco Shop - Land and tasteless chili relleno with kraft cheese slice on top smh - Tacos Near Me - Hemet, California

Taco shops are not required to be flawless. Part of their charm is often the sketchy neighborhood, or the alley entrance; the gauntlet of homeless folks, or even the rustic salsa bar that feels like you're in San Felipe or Ensenada. But one non-negotiable is the food. When the food disappoints, it sucks the charm out of all those endearing things listed above, and returns them to the annoying and possibly dangerous liabilities they are. I visited El Ranchito today for a quick carne asada burrito. After enjoying three days of carne asada burritos in San Diego, I really wasn't expecting perfection. My expectations were realized... The second I open my car door to walk into the restaurant, I was accosted by a long-haired scarecrow-like tweaker, wearing Beats headphones and smoking a cigarette, while telling me that he didn't have any money to catch the bus, so could I spare a few bucks. I just smiled and shook my head, and he was off to the next car... in the general direction of "not the bus stop". Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed two big handwritten-with-a-big-Crayola signs that read CASH ONLY. Fine, I thought. The counter is sort of off-center and adjacent to some seating so it's not really clear where you queue to order. Not that it really mattered, because the two gals behind the counter seemed much more interested in their conversation than attending to the fact that I just walked in looking hungry. A break in the conversation forced her to look up and take my order. I asked for a carne asada burrito... $6.99 on the menu, which is about a buck and a half steeper than its San Diego brethren. The cashier stated that they add rice and beans to their burritos. As far as I'm concerned, adding rice and beans to a carne asada burrito makes it... Not a carne asada burrito anymore. It's now a rice and beans burrito with a little bit of meat in it. I declined the rice and beans, and asked for an all meat burrito. I even states that I would be willing to pay extra, but I didn't want any rice and beans. Simply put in some meat, guacamole, and pico de gallo. With the addition of a drink, my final order total came out to $9.87.... I should have put my wallet back in my pocket, smiled and shook my head again, and escaped with my dignity. But no, I handed over a Hamilton, and posted up against a booth, waiting for them to call my number. To pass the time, I visited their salsa bar. Plenty of small plastic lids, but no plastic cups. I returned to the counter and asked them to put out some more cups for the salsas. The lady handed me two small plastic receptacles and encouraged me to help myself. I happen to like a lot of salsa on my burritos, and with a $10 price tag, I definitely wanted to sample their fare with more than two small plastic cups. After a reasonable wait time, they called me over to pick up my burrito. I immediately noticed the lack of weight when I picked up the bag. I pulled the burrito out of the bag, and noticed how ridiculously small it was. The cook apparently just put the regular small amount of carne asada meat into a tortilla slapped on a little bit of guacamole, and wrapped it up. It was seriously the size of a taquito! Despite my polite but frustrated complaint, I was told "das jus how we doit." I looked out across the parking lot at the tweaker panhandler, the cardboard sign guy by the stoplight, the dude with a grip of jailhouse head tats sitting at a booth, the shoeless three year old running amok while mom (allegedly) went outside for a smoke.... and realized: this place sucks, but no one here cares. Plus, complaining doesn't help, because they've heard it all from the locals. If there's any silver lining, the taquito burrito tasted good... But the portion size, the lackluster service, and the cheapie salsa cup approach will insure I NEVER NEED TO EAT HERE AGAIN. read more

The ladies working the registers are super rude. The food is pretty good, but you have to beg for napkins and salsa cups.

Never been here before. Rude employees. Ordered a bean and cheese burrito with easy beans for my son. Got the food, cut the burrito in half for my son. He refused to eat it because it had next to no cheese in it. Mind you when I ordered it, I explained my son wanted a cheese burrito so I ordered it with easy beans and told him they don't sell cheese burritos. I offered him a quesadilla and he wanted the bean and cheese burrito instead. Anyway, he refused to eat it, not one bite was taken out of it. I asked the employee why it had so little cheese, she said that's how it comes. Ok, but she didn't say that when I placed my order with her. I told her I wanted a refund because it was not what we ordered, she gave me attitude and tried to refuse me my money back. I told her and the other rude employee they couldn't refuse to give me back my money because not even one bite was taken out of it and it wasn't what we ordered. They gave me $4.24 back eventually but my order was $4.25 plus .08% tax, so to be a bitch I demanded every penny back because they wanted to be rude. About everything. I explained if it weren't for customers, she wouldn't even have a job and she couldn't care less what I had to say before I placed my order or after I asked for a refund. After I finally got all my money back while I was still trying to eat my food, the new employees came in for a shift change, all the employees decided to talk crap about me in Spanish and stare me down. Yeah, I understood you! I'm not a difficult patron but I do expect to get what I ordered and payed for, not attitude, insults and to be stared down. Rude! Rude! Rude! I'll never be back. First impressions and continued customer service are your income to success in the food industry! read more
