My cousin and I go there quite often. I never was a fan of Mexican food but this place is awesome. The food doesn't taste like typical Mexican food that you get in other Mexican restaurants. The food here doesn't have a strong tomato base like you see at other Mexican restaurants. The white sauce at this restaurant is really good. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is extremely clean. This is the only Mexican restaurant that I really enjoy . read more

The best tamales I've EVER had!! They come topped with beans, beef, red sauce and a cheese sauce. Absolutely fantastic! I'm also a fan of their chips and salsa. The chips are thin and crispy and the salsa is the perfect consistency unlike some places that serve Pico and call it salsa. read more

El Rancho Mexican Grill - a view of the dining area - Mexican Near Me - Denham Springs, Louisiana

Excellent food, great diverse selection and well priced for what you get. Service is good.

A decent restaurant. It's clean and the art is nice. I got the cheese enchiladas, my usual at most tex mex or mexican restaurants. I'd give these enchiladas a 4/10. Queso blanco inside a slightly warmed tortilla with queso blanco on top, he did ask if I wanted chili sauce or cheese sauce. Typically at other restaurants they put blanco on top and another cheese inside or vice verse, this being queso blanco on both made for an extremely thick almost jaw tiring meal. Not the worst, not near the top choice. Girlfriend got the nachos from the appetizer menu, huge plate, she doesn't have much to say besides they're delicious. read more

El Rancho Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Denham Springs, Louisiana

Have been eating here since they opened up & never got anything bad. Food is always hot or cold and plating is nice.Has several sauces to choose from for toppings. Chips are super fresh, salsa not too hot or spicy. I eat here about 2-3 times a month, sometimes more & they will continue to be my go to restaurant. Employees are always very pleasant & attentive, sweet people so let's keep their business going. We need good Places & variety to choose from. Good jobs guys ! read more

Haven't eaten here in a few years. Came here with my wife and daughter, just closer to the house. Had the Fiesta Dinner: Tostada, Chili Relleno, Tamale, Taco, Refried Beans and Rice. Way too much for an average person to eat alone, brought home plenty to make another meal. Good stuff. read more

El Rancho Mexican Grill - The Fiesta Dinner - Mexican Near Me - Denham Springs, Louisiana

I am not a food critic. I have never owned a restaurant. I will say, however, that just about anyone could do it better than El Rancho. My wife and I ordered queso dip ( the chips did not arrive until after the queso was cold.), 3 tacos, and tamales... all of which were completely disappointing. My tamales were completely flavorless and my chicken taco looked like it was made by a four year old and tossed in aluminum foil. My wife did not get any cheese for her taco and my drink was empty half of the time that we wasted there. There is absolutely no pride in the food they serve or culture that they claim to represent. If I could rate negative stars, then I would. Do yourself a favor and make a ham sandwich at home before you waste your time and money. read more

Wow! I'm a big guy but that was a lot of food. Too much for one meal but great for left overs. The fiesta platter was served on two full dinner plates for only $11.99! I'm glad we only ordered one child's plate for our two girls. Service was matter of fact but polite. The cook time was incredibly fast. Service 5/5 Speed 5/5 Portion size 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Good quality 4/5 Overall 5/5 read more

El Rancho Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Denham Springs, Louisiana

I love their service, huge potions of food, good prices and the atmosphere. I pretty much always get excellent service. Really good sweet tea here. I won't rate it lower, but maybe I'm not a Mexican food kind of person?? Most of what I order I'm not a fan of. I love the refried beans though. Getting chips and dip is totally for me. Chips might be stale every so often but the salsa is good Be warned! Their quesadillas are not the run of the mill flat tortillas with cheese if you normally order those and happen to like the norm. It's like a fajita explosion in there read more

Best authentic Mexican food I have ever tasted. I love the cheese the put over the food. It's different than other Mexican restaurants I have been to, and I wasn't a fan after my first visit, but it grew on me fast. read more

The best thing on the menu is fajita fundita! And the queso is really good. Gave three stars bc the service is always awful.

Best quesadilla I've ever had. It doesn't look like the usual flat tortilla. It was a folded over grilled tortilla filled with warm fajita steak, creamy melted cheese and salsa. It must be their specialty because both of the tables around me ordered the same thing. I wasn't impressed with the sangria, but everything else was good. read more

This is our place for Mexican food. And has been since we moved to Denham in july. I always order the fajitas bravas and take half home. Staff is great also. read more

I always have amazing service!! Employees are always friendly and I've never had anything bad to say about this place. The atmosphere is amazing with the music and art. Me and my family love El Rancho and it is always our first choice when going out to eat. read more

If ya want real Mexican.....this isn't the place to go...had a chicken burrito .. Very bland and the salsa Verdi was terrible.....

El Rancho is one of the better Mexican restaurants in the area. It's very hard to find good Tex Mex but these folks come close. The service is spectacular and everyone does their best to please. read more

The chicken quesadilla is the best I've ever had.. their margs are really strong and worth making the trip! You won't be disappointed

This is really good Tex Mex food with some authentic dishes also on the menu. If you would like to try something new Arroz con Pollo (chicken with rice) is absolutely delicious. I believe this is the best Mexican food in the area. Prices are very affordable. The draft beer is ice cold. I love El Rancho. read more

Good service, awesome Mexican food. What more can I say?

Not a fancy place, but the food is home cooked good. They changed their menu about a year ago and I miss a couple of selections, but this is where I go for Mexican food in Denham Springs. Very nice people and good place to relax and enjoy some really good food. read more

Been to this place several times. The service is always extraordinary and the food is always amazing. The trio fajita is the best in town and the shrimp chimichanga is always made to perfection. As of now this is my favorite mexican restaurant! $ read more

Everything is so salty. It's like they don't even try on the salsa. I live 1 minute away and never eat here. It's a shame!

Was wanting Mexican food & live down street from here. So we tried it. Service sucked. The food was nasty. The price was cheap, but like they say u get what u pay for. Never again!!! P.s. the ladies tht sat across from us with kids the kids were good, but the moms were getting drunk I guess they were loud & annoying. read more

I haven't been back here in over a year! My last visit, there was a roach crawling across the table just as we were leaving. The waiter came to the table and literally squashed it with a napkin and then brushed it off the table onto the floor!! The manager claims that there is nothing they can do when they already combat the bugs!! I am still grossed out even as I type this!! Roaches should NEVER make their way onto the dining table!! read more
