Our waitress seemed to be solo and she was kind but ended up leaving before our meal was through, at which time we were reassigned to a waiter who came out of the kitchen maybe twice for the entirety of the remainder of our visit. (We tried to close and tip out our original waitress but we were shaken off and told that the tip would go "under her name" - I've been a waitress before and it's never worked that way for me but I guess every establishment is different) We eventually flagged our new waiter over to ask for the check because we had been done for so long (we literally already had a to go box and our stuff packed up from when the other waitress had left). The restaurant had an odd smell as well, like an underlying sewage issue maybe - not great for a food establishment. Overall, while the drinks were delicious, I've had much better Mexican in Columbia for a better price with substantially better service (and free parking). I don't know that this would go on my list of places that I have to visit again.

I brought it to their attention and they corrected it and brought out a whole new meal, but practically overcorrected as the second chile relleno was extremely mushy. The chicken enchilada was fine, but I would not recommend getting a combo with a chile relleno as you won't know what you'll get. The service was fine to start with, but by the end of the meal I was feeling we were being rushed. Mid-bite, our server asked if we'd like a box, not even close to finishing our meals. First impression overall was a pretty average Mexican place, nothing special.

The Good: The staff was extremely friendly. And the prices were competitive…read more The Bad: The food was only so-so. Not remotely Mexican. Taqueria sure, but not Mexican. The cooks did what they could with what they had but it still just was ok at best and not worth the price. The Ugly: The place was devoid of drinks. According to one of the staff they had not gotten their soda order in. But, they also had NONE of their bar drinks or mixer drinks. You can see that the picture has all of it clean and not used in the middle of the lunch day. They also were out of various ingredients to make some of the dishes. While this is occasionally the fault of just not knowing what you need by the manager that does the ordering... it is normally a bigger problem and one that points to a place that is financially failing. I hope that I am wrong and that they were just having an off day. The other reviews seem to point toward a fairly good restaurant so hopefully someday I'll be able to adjust this review.

My son and I just really…read morewanted some Mexican food, and he remembered walking by this place downtown with his friends and said it smelled amazing. So off we went! I'll have to admit, it does smell amazing outside. The enticing smell draws you in and the hospitality keeps you. The dining room is small but they have ample outdoor seating. On this day it was raining though so the dining room was filling quickly. We ordered two large horchatas, four Mexican style tacos (two chorizo and two carnitas). A Cheese quesadilla and Quesabirria Tacos. Our food came very quickly and I have to say, it was so good!! my only suggestion is everything needed more salt, however, I know everybody's salt preferences are different so it wasn't a big deal to just add salt to my dinner. I'm also sad they didn't have Pozole. One of my all-time favorite Mexican soups... or even Albondigas. Therefore, my search for a good Mexican soup continues. It was a little pricey, about $50 for two people, however the second most expensive thing was those big Horchata's... and honestly, they were worth it! This was definitely a big hit for us, and we will most definitely be back.

An absolute Columbia classic -- the ultimate nightcap spot!…read more El Rancho is one of those places that defines Columbia nights. It's not a good night out unless it ends here -- standing in line that stretches out the door, surrounded by the buzz of post-bar laughter and the smell of sizzling fajitas and melted cheese. The food always hits the spot, no matter what time it is. My go-to has always been the chicken nachos -- piled high, smothered with cheesy, spicy, perfectly seasoned goodness. Every bite is pure comfort and nostalgia. This place is the heartbeat of late-night Columbia -- the kind of local gem you remember long after you've graduated and moved away. And a must go to spot whenever you're in town!!
