5 stars El…read moreRancherito absolutely delivered one of those comforting, classic Valley Mexican food experiences that instantly feels like a local staple. We ordered two breakfast burritos plus a side of rice for our daughter and everything came out hot, fresh, and seriously flavorful. The tortillas tasted freshly warmed and had that perfect light crisp on the outside while still soft inside. The fillings were generous without being messy and every bite had balanced flavor instead of just tasting like eggs wrapped in a tortilla. You can tell they actually season their food properly. What really stood out was the service. My wife had a very specific way she wanted her burrito made and they were completely accommodating and happy to do it. No attitude, no confusion, just friendly and helpful. That alone goes a long way. The rice was simple but really good which kept our daughter happy and that is always the true test. Between the value, portions, and welcoming vibe this feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you end up coming back to regularly. Great food, kind people, and satisfying portions. We will definitely be back.

Service: The two young girls working the counter act like they watch too much reality tv and think they're above everyone else. Doesn't help their cause. The ambiance: filthy. Pay attention to everything both out front and behind the counter. All filthy everywhere, and the place is falling apart. Just nasty and run down. This should have been enough evidence to us that the food prep was also garbage. Risked it and regretted it both times! Summary: Do not eat here! Some reviews compliment some items on the menu. But totally not worth the gamble to most likely end up with trash, bacteria or something worse mixed in with your food! HARD PASS!!

I got two shrimp tacos and two fish tacos and the girl recommended the chipotle steak fries. The restaurant was super cute and I saw that they have a kids menu. Will definitely come back with the family. Food was yummy! Tacos were authentic and yummy! Chipotle fries hit the spot but was a bit of a gut bomb! Overall a great place - clean, fun and excellent food!

When I asked about it, I was told that this is how the protein is portioned, but I found the ratio unreasonable. I expected the fish to be the star of the dish, not an afterthought. I hope the restaurant reconsiders the balance between vegetables and protein.

The employees are always friendly and work hard to make sure the food is delicious. We've been coming here throughout the years and have yet to be disappointed! The asada burrito and asada fries are so good! They're both definitely money well spent since they don't skimp on anything!
