Food and service was outstanding. Only issue I had was it was kinda gross that they have a smoking section. Special thanks to Chino for being so polite! read more

El Rancho - 15. Burrito Supreme - Mexican Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

Pros - the margarita was good, the waiter was reasonably attentive. Cons - grilled chicken had a strange after taste, I didn't get exactly what I order which had a guacamole salad. I didn't get the guacamole which they said they didn't have any. They should have told me this before I even ordered the food. read more

Came here during the Superbowl game with friends to watch The Broncos Vs The Panthers! Venue isnt pretty bad. The parking lot is well lit, so it doesnt really look as sketchy! Upon entering the vicinity, I was greeted by a young well groomed hispanic gentleman. Who got me and a group of friends seated by the largest and longest table ever excluding the bar. And I must say, it wasnt large enough, and I got to seated at the end of the table facing everyone, and I didnt have enough leg room to stretch my legs apart. Now as food goes, the food tastes so amazing! That lit my taste buds on fire that its well money spent... I ordered a meal that came with 2 enchiladas, 1 taco, beans, and rice that was quite full filling! Now as ordering the margarita, I wished the server has good listening skills. He got me the 2nd largest one, instead of the smallest one thats good for one person. After seeing how big was the largest one as I was curious about it... And after showing me its size, I said, "OK, give me the small one instead. Thats too big." And so he brings me back a size smaller from the largest margarita filled with margarita already... Which is little too late to return! Boy, that was so muchhhhhh! Other than that, not going to knock off that much of a rating for poor listening skills & not enough leg room.. However, the food made up for it, and so was good company with friends watching the football game! read more

El Rancho - Molcajete, Choriqueso,Pineapple Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

I'm being extremely generous with the 3 stars. The only good thing here was the napkins! It was soft,white neatly folded into cute little triangles. -service 5 outa 10, she made the slanted eye gesture because we were Asians. But I'm guessing she's older so she didn't mean any harm, so I'll give her a pass. -food was trash, flavorless, cheap cuts of meat, rubbery, worse than Taco Bell, the water tasted good at least. Horchata was decent came in massive jugs per person. -ambiance 6 outa 10 felt like Mexico, like your in a dungeon with old greasy sticky heavy wooded tables and a leather menu. read more

We stopped here for dinner based on a recommendation from a local. I should've have trusted my "Yelpsie senses" based on the reviews. The service was great and waitress was super nice and prompt. However the watered-down margaritas and flavorless steak & shrimp with my fajitas were a definite miss. I probably wont try this place again but they did have reasonable prices and a military discount. read more

Pretty good mexican spot. The wait staff was attentive without being overbearing and the food arrived quickly. The complimentary chips and salsa were just ok. I ordered tableside guac that wasn't made tableside but was decent. It lacked seasoning. We ordered chimichangas, beef tongue tacos, and this giant melting pot of meats (I forget the name). The food was ok. I didn't like that the melting pot of meat, which is big enough to feed 3-4 people, only came with 3 tortillas. They charge $1 for an additional 3 tortillas. I've give this place another chance if in the area again. read more

My first not so hot review here in Mississippi. Hubby wanted Mexican and while driving around found this place. I had the verde enchiladas. I was underwhelmed with the quality of the chicken. The meat had the look, taste, and texture of canned chicken. (Had my fill of canned chicken during Hurricanes Jeanne and Frances). The rice and beans were just Ok. At least it was not over salted. I ordered the happy hour margarita. It was mix with a little bit of tequila. Didn't order another. read more

Excellent service tonight from Alex! She was very attentive and did a great job getting our order right and making sure we had everything we needed. Five stars! read more

Terrible. Just terrible. Horrible service. Horrible food. Overpriced. Avoid this place.

The food here is so amazing. It's so creamy. it's so full of life. In the service here is amazing and you can get like a like three tacos for five dollars isn't that crazy. read more

Stopped in here today. I was in a "hangry" moment. Hadn't eaten breakfast. This place seemed it would be good. The parkinglot was 1/2 full at lunchtime. Decor was your average mexican style place. Hostess was friendly and seated us promptly. I'm not a fan of pepsi products and all they had was pepsi. I prefer diet coke. Took a little longer than usual to get our drink order in. After that we waited. I noticed all the other tables had bowls of tortilla chips and salsa. Almost every mexican place I've been too, gives you complimentary chips and salsa. So out of curiosity, I got up and walked around the dining area. Every table had chips and salsa, even the people who came in after us. Everyone but us. So I pondered if , it was a side app that you order or if perhaps, it's not offered on Sunday. After 5 more minutes , I stopped our waitress and asked. She said it was coming right out. Lo and behold 2 minutes later, our waitress came out with the chips and salsa. My wife got the beef taco salad and I got a chicken fajita quesadilla. The food more than made up for the earlier lapse in service. It was quite good. I was disappointed that this restaurant doesnt have chicken tortilla soup. You would think this would be a standard. That's like going to an Italian restaurant that doesnt have garlic bread. Anyway, the food was good, service could use a Improvement, the prices were very good. I would eat here again. read more

Lady that took my order definitely wasn't nice. Talking to me while looking down. That's a no no. Didn't smile once ever. Wife said shrimp taco salad was just ok and she wouldn't order it again. read more

It should not take 30+ minutes for an order of cheese dip! And when it finally comes out we have no chips left and now have to wait for them :( It makes no sense at all. I also ordered cheese on my borrito and I had to use the cheese he final brought out for it!! Do not recommend to anyone in the area read more

Ate at this establishment with my co-workers and the orders were all wrong. Food was cold, like it was cooked several hours before we ordered. When I spoke to the manager, his response was "it's not my problem," all while his employees in the background were calling me a "putah," (Spanish for bitch). read more

The food was good. However we ordered the food for delivery and we were missing an item from the order. I contacted the delivery service they reached out to the restaurant to see how they wanted to handle this. We were told the restaurant didn't want to compensate us for their mistake. read more

Complete dive and garbage food. Stay away it should be closed up and demolished. Awful place, cock roaches crawling under the tables the smell was beyond horrible almost like death. read more

The location is not too far away from our house, so we decided to check this place out. First, FALSE advertisement about happy hour.....waitress seemed hurried and was very short like we were bothering her. Food was mediocre and served cold. Will not be back and do not recommend. If you want Mexican fare that is true to taste and tradition, this isn't the place. I resided in Mexico for some time and feel I can realistically make the comparisons. My rate would be minus 1 if there was an option. read more

When I first arrived on the Coast this was where I went to get my mexican food fix. Being from So Cal. and Mexican, Mexican food is a staple much like blood to a vampire. As far as authenticity goes the food is o.k. The salsa taste like its out of a can (As it does at all the mexican restaurants on the Coast), they pour a cheese sauce on everything, (Another Coast favorite) and the spices seem to taste the same. When I go I usually order the garlic fried tilapia. (not on the menu) I also enjoy that their soft drinks are brought out in these mini pitcher sized mugs. Generally one refill is all it will take no matter how much soda you drink. The staff is friendly and will remember your face and their is plenty of room and parking. The prices are moderate and the servings tend to run on the heavy size. This is a great place for group and volunteer dinners. Many of the groups who have come down to rebuild the Coast have their celebration dinners here. Just remember that most of the Mexican restaurants on the Coast are owned by two families so alot of the menus and recipes are redundant. read more

We went here on a recommendation. It leaves a lot to be desired. The food was mediocre at best. It also still has a smoking section. If we visit this area again we will most certainly not be going back to this place. read more

I think I got a good meal here a few years ago, and so from time to time I come back, hoping to re-experience that bygone day. Alas... things have changed. El Rancho has a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The service is adequate, and there is a full bar for those who love a margarita and who don't yet have diabetes. Sadly, it's the food that brings this house down. I had the chile relleno and a burrito. They arrived fresh from the microwave along with those too-ordinary rice and beans. The relleno was limp and soggy, and tasted strongly of the freezer box in which it evidently had lived for months. The burrito consisted of spiced meat wrapped in sad and soggy tortilla. Overall, the food just seemed limp and dead. There was no excitement, no pride. Even the waiter seemed embarrassed to lay this plate in front of me. I was very hungry, so I ate enough to get my blood sugar up and then paid and left. The restaurant serves free chips and salsa, both of which are unremarkable. I wish the salsa had a little heat. Instead it was a finely processed, tomato-y slurry. Not altogether bad, but.... mehh. The iced tea is very sweet and comes in a miniature pitcher with a straw. Many people find this charming. I do not. El Rancho is very close to my home. I wish it was better. read more

Service was great, salsa and chips great. We ordered the Chicken Enchilada and the chicken was almost nonexistent and food was very Bland. Would definitely Not go back lol should have reread my own review. We gave it another try and i've downgraded from two stars to one. Salsa dish arrived dirty I mean really dirty. Same Bland food, chicken was scarce, no onions, peppers or anything. Then the coup de gras! Our chicken quesadilla's were $6.50 on the lunch menu but when the bill came we were charged $8.50. No big deal but I had to ask why the discrepancy. Well , apparently it was extra cause it was Saturday! Why did they give me the menu with the wrong prices? Habla Ingles? This was a dealbreaker for us we will DEFINITELY not be back and apparently others feel the same way. Two other diners at the peak lunch time on Saturday. read more

The Food I would give 5 stars for quality and taste. The Number 1 issue and why I give it only 3 is that it is WAY to Smokey! I don't know if you can smoke at the bar or what is going on but there is no section or seating which you can escape to much smoke... Great Food! Great Drinks! The experience is less then desirable especially if you have those sensors to smoke.. read more

Service was slow. Once we placed our order we received our food promptly. Both orders were wrong. There is a difference between fajita salad & a taco salad. I specifically asked for the fajita salad w/ grilled veggies. Still we got a taco salad. The seasoning on the food was very mild or lacking. The 2nd order was not correct either. Also the beer was not cold. ------. Overall the fix would be 1) smile & be friendly 2) wight down the order & repeat it back to the customer 3) once the order is delivered ask if it's correct 4) cold beer is best 5 ) thank the customer for coming in. Happy customers leave bigger tips & give you repeat business It's like the people are overworked , tired & just trying to get to the next order or chore & move on. I will try again in apx 3 - 4 months. Maybe. read more

I guess Mexican food is one of those things that everyone has a distinct like or dislike for because I had not eaten here before and all I had heard was rave reviews about this place. Well I tried it and I really didn't like it. My personal tastes are more akin to Los Tres Amigos until I find something better. Hopefully it was just the dish that I got and I will try something different and update this review. My wife really liked her dish and she also liked the salsa and I didn't care for it. I didn't care for the beef enchiladas but I did like the beans and rice that came with the dinner. read more

I was really impressed by this restaurant! The decor is awesome, the service is perfect and the food was absolutely the best I have had in a long time. We had enchiladas and fajitas and the servings were huge!! The flavor was great and somehow the hot skillet kept the fajitas hot all the way through the meal! I will be back for sure and I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I think we have been here probably about 4 times now. Yeah I know we eat out a lot. But food is just life. So the chairs are a little uncomfortable and I really like being comfortable when I am eating food. They bring you chips and salsa to the table, its endless and free. They are good chips always seem to be fresh, the salsa could use a little something to it and I have not been able to figure that out yet. The Burrito California is what my son usually get and its pretty good, served with guacamole that is pretty good considering the location we are in. The Menudo is my go to soup/food. It always good, and if you like that kind of stuff you should eat it to. read more

Good authentic Mexican food. I love that the drinks come in mini pitcher. The chips and salsa are addicting and most of the time going with 3 or 4 people you will go through 2 baskets. Chips came out warm each time weve gone. The food has been hit and miss, most of the time its good but if your order any changes to your meal don't bet on getting it that way. Majority of the time I order no beans or sour cream and majority of the time i get both sour cream and beans. On the positive the food always comes out very hot and the servers are fast and friendly. read more

Pretty good food here. Nothing extravagant but above average. Their pitcher-sized drinks really compliments the meals. The atmosphere is family friendly (not very busy and pretty quiet). Recommended for a casual "after Church lunch" kind of dining experience. read more

Food was really bland, not happy with the service the waitress were rush and overwhelmed

I have lived here for a long time and go here almost all the time we decide to eat Mexican food out. When they opened, back in the day they were 5/5, everything was made with care and just like my mom would do when I was growing up. Then they became more popular because word of mouth spreads fast. Then the started being greedy and making smaller portions for higher prices, but still so good and still went at a 4/5. The service/wait staff is always top notch. Yesterday I called in an order, the same order we call in all the time and what we order a lot when we go. We ordered two chicken chimichanga dinners. I couldn't believe how small the portions were and they totally forgot my toppings. My son's hard shell chicken tacos with no cheese were actually beef, ruined his meal totally. The chips were the size of a very small popcorn for one, there were 3 of us. Maybe it is because we called in the order and didn't have our wonderful wait staff there that know us and how our son likes his tacos, but gosh. We were disappointed this time. Was really looking forward to getting take out, since this crazy pandemic and El Rancho didn't measure up this time. read more

Hit this place on off hours as we had a big breakfast and now we were nearly 3pm for lunch. Therefore not busy at all. Waiting til 3 would have given us a discount on Margaritas, but we weren't imbibing anyway. Love that the salsa comes out in a small carafe and individual bowls you can pour your own. Salsa is runny and very mild, they charged $0.90 for some jalepenos to give it some kick. There was some bottle of brown hot sauce on the table (like Chupela?) but the top was quite gross and crusty. Chips were fresh and good. Burrito was a nice portion with beef and beans topped with cheese and sauce. Service was just right. Overall good but not my best Mexican food experience. read more

Don't plan on using coupons here. The waitress knew we had a coupon up front but at time of checkout the manager refused to honor the coupon. We will not be back to eat here. It is a pity to loose a customer over $4.50 in coupon savings. We are local and there many other places that have great food and drinks. read more
