Their burritos are tasty, full of whatever you chose to order. I love veggie burritos so I suppose you can see where this is going... I ordered one and they had a wet burrito in a picture near the register and I asked for it to look like that. It had red sauce on one side and green on the other, with sour cream in the middle. (To mimic the Mexico flag) I anticipated it's arrival and could not wait until I could stick my fork in it and enjoy it. I did just that. No complaints whatsoever... I was able to eat one bite on either side to enjoy the dynamic of taste. I do wish they'd put more sour cream on top but I just love that stuff more than most. Their drink selection is great and always varying in choice which is desirable. The salsa they provide in the salsa bar is also tasty... with lots of options. My friends got tacos that were the special and we're not disappointed either. The parking is in the back, and spacious... unless you have a bro truck I guess. Since in this case I've seen those guys park their obnoxiously lifted tok high to be a work truck right in front so everyone knows they're cool. Sidenote: they get busy, cause their food is delicious so grab a menu while in line and know what you want when you get to the register. read more

You can't tell from the outside what a great place this is, the food is fantastic and the service is fast. Great beers on tap. Don't be fooled this restaurant is at a gas station. It is one of the best Mexican food places in Watsonville. Al Pastor tacos are excellent t read more

We have gone to Ranch Milk before and it was pretty good. We just had food delivered today and it was awful. Calamari was overcooked and all stuck together, burritos were dry and flavorless. I hope this was a fluke because it was really good before. If you are reading this and you work at Ranch Milk you may want to see who was cooking and train them more. Good luck. read more

This is our go to after the flea market. We love the nachos and the beacon Wrapped hot dog. Yummy. Great beer selection and if you get $20 in Gas you get a free bean burrito. Love this place! read more

Manager unprofessional, rude, and clueless about customer service. She waited 1wk to get back to me when left message for her about problem with stale torta bread and proceeded to tell me how that could not be possible. read more

All their food is good here especially the breakfast burritos! My favorite is the chorizo. They also serve craft beers on tap . read more

I saw their sign that said you got a free burrito with a $20 gas fill. I needed gas. I was on my lunch break. So it was perfect! It made my day! The burrito was pretty delicious! And it was free! Dude this is the place to get gas! Will definitely come back and try all their food!! If a bean and cheese burrito taste good. Imagine! read more

This place is bomb. I wouldn't classify it strictly as Mexican food. They also have hot dogs from what I remember and more. I love the beer selection here most. Perfect spot for eating good food and drinking good beer read more

What a great place to stop for some amazing Mexican food and a beer, not to mention you can fill up your gas tank and have some great conversations with the family owned mom/pop shop! RanchMilk has been around in Watsonville since the beginning and still holds true to the community as well as tourists that are passing through. They have incredible marinated meat as well as plenty of drink choices to choose from. You will leave satisfied, full, and glad that you got to keep some extra money in your wallet. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a great meal and a good time. Even if your not having a good time or don't intend on it.... you will. It's inevitable! So stop reading this review and go out and try for yourself! Hope you take this review to heart and go get some killer chili verde read more

DUDE!!!! It just looks like a normal gas station, but no! We go in and get so many tacos, nachos and beer/ciders. This place was awesome. The atmosphere was great and the food came out fast and hot. I will definitely be going back. So happy about this find :) read more

Finally tried this place, despite its name... which sounds like a gay bar. Good tacos, nice beer selection, and also many take away beers available. Had carne asada street tacos, tasty, authentic, and cheap. Cool taqueria/ taproom concept, kind of Divey and comfortable with local sports on as well ! read more

Exceeded my expectations considering this spot is inside a gas station. Great tacos, great salsa, and great beers.

I agree with Cindy S. Since I got the same thing, carne asada and nachos. The tacos are okay. A little skimpy on the meat. The nachos on the other hand are completely not worth buying. Not enough chips for the toppings. The chips they have get soggy before getting half way done. The cheese tastes like the basic TacoBell cheese. Skimpy on the meat and covered in peppers. If wanting more chips to finish the toppings then you'll have to pay for them. I did see some people buy the burritos that look much better than what I got so I think I'll try the burritos next time and pass on the tacos and nachos. read more

Best spot in town. Good burritos and great beers /selection. Servers could benefit from smiling a little bit read more

Chips are extra, the ladies taking the order are clueless about their menu. One described the beer I wanted to try as the one with the slimy red sauce on top. Appetizing. Made us repeat our order twice and then had another lady help. We still ended up with the wrong food. I told her we wanted to sit outside so we got set up and then they told we couldn't sit outside with drinks. Food as mediocre. Big NOPE. read more

Do not miss this place!!! Amazing food, a great list of beers on tap, awesome service and a great vibe. Probably my favorite Mexican restaurant ever...and I've been to a lot. read more

Came in for a quick fix. Got the 4 street tacos for $6! Was great and super friendly service. Will definitely come back again. Excellent selection of beers on tap, convenience store, and cheap gas! What else do you need? read more

This is my favorite burrito place in Santa Cruz County. Very friendly staff, a wide variety of choices, and covid friendly Ranch Milk is a must go. I highly recommend the red salsa (very spicy) read more

We came from out of town and drove by this place. It's clean. We got some Tacos and they were delicious. Beer was fine. All good! It's also well priced. U can gas up at the same time. Lol. We will go back. We are picky. I used to own a Taco Bell. read more

This place is good if you want to have a beer or some cider as they have a good rotating selection to chose from. As far as food goes, its a hit or miss. Honestly, the only good thing that's always good are the crinkle cut fries. read more

I really wanted to give Ranch Milk another try. Use to come here all the time and meet up with friends for some quick tacos and occasional beer on tap. However after my horrific breakfast burrito experience I just stopped going. Because i do love supporting local establishments,Tonight after months since I almost vomited that cold tasteless burrito, I decided to go give them another try (not with food) We arrived about 7:06pm I ordered an IPA, service was quick and efficient by the gentleman at the counter. Only My partner and I and someone there for a pick up order so that explains the fast service. Notice the few changes that were made, not bad! My experience is based on nothing but COMMON COURTESY...a few sips into our drink we noticed cleaning around us(great love that) we didn't mind that at all. Next music stops playing, not even half way through our drink, then tv screens, finally lights start shutting down. Ok we get the point get out we are closing. Like I said common courtesy, we had no intentions on ordering food or anything else at that, a simple "excuse me we will be closing in the next 20min will you be ordering anything else today?" Kinda thing. Not just make us feel unwanted and rudely turn everything off around us. Not sure if she was having a bad day or simply hates working there but that young slim lady with long hair really needs to work on her customer service skills. I definitely will not be returning! Not a simple "thank you for coming in" right after we got up and left once she turned everything off almost ten minutes to closing. Yikes! read more

Food and service 10 out of 10. we had the carne asada SB and Carnita SB and a Menudo and it was to die for. I'm moving out of Watsonville and you can bet once I'm back in town I'm going to frequent this place read more

I have been going to this place for its breakfast burritos. They are freshly prepared and there salsa is delicious(spicy).... We are able to call in our order and pick up when ready.. This used to be a store/with some food for sale now it has turned into full on restaurant.. I saw somebody else enjoying what looked like menudo on Sunday.. Many options of food, and alcohol definitely a place to stop by. read more

I've been here multiple times in the last 3 months since moving to the area. I really don't have any complaints at all. The food is awesome, along with their salsa bar. I've ordered many different things off the menu and always enjoy each dish. I like how the have a large selection of beverages in the cooler to choose to go with your meal. I don't drink alcohol but I can tell that the beers that are on tap are quality types. The service has always been quick and they're always pleasant with their smiles and conversation. The prices are very good as well. I can get a satisfying meal with a beverage of my choice for about $7 read more

This place is a rare find. Don't let the entrance scare you away as it is 100% gas station from the curb. Inside you will find 20+ craft beers on tap & a menu that is backed up in every serving. The pastor is authentic off the spit, the chili Verdi chips & dip are the perfect started. Everything is perfection from the friendly staff to the real deal Mexican food. Enjoy! read more

Just damn good food. Tacos, burritos, tortas and even wings. Must stop in Watsonville.

Good selections of beers. We like the fish tacos and lengua the best! Fish taco was flavorful, crunchy and delightful, lengua has that touch of tangy tomato-stew-like flavors to it, delicious! Carne Asada & chorizo tacos were good too! And don't forget to get some grilled jalapeños, nice and spicy! Friendly staff. read more

My food has not even digested yet but I wanted to give a huge shout out to this place. I got the pastor tacos, super quesadilla and a side of fries. It was awesome, super reasonably priced and fast service. 5 stars and will go back!!!! read more

Great place for a low budget meal, and spot to sit and talk with friends, family, etc.

Loved this place! Brewery meets gas station, meets 7/11, meets Mexican restaurant. Nice people, good vibe, small and unique. Who knew?

Quite the transformation from when this was a dumpy gas station (with the least expensive gas in town). Great street taco deal. Lots on tap, including local craft brews. Several TVs. Good place to watch a game. A variety of seating welcomes small and larger groups. The last time I was there, the bathroom was disgusting. The women at the counter & bar are sometimes grumpy, but the food is very good. read more

Their Mexican fries are THE SHIT . Tacos are good , and I really enjoy their beer on tap. Good customer service and all around good place to hang with friends, enjoy tacos, and watch some football. read more

I don't understand how this place has four stars, its vile. The asada tastes nothing like the genuine asada that other authentic places have. At first glance the prices look good and cheap but its really not worth it. Just go to El Frijolito, their burritos are cheaper and taste so much better. We also ordered the chicken strips and fries basket and it was just as disappointing. You could taste the old fryer oil and the fries were soggy and majorly under salted. Also they don't even have Ranch, how can you call yourself Ranch Milk with no ranch?? read more

Came to try their famous Hot Dogs & let me tell you, they are delicious! One thing that i didn't appreciate was the Cashier (Maria). I left to get my id and i had forgot to get a drink. So my boyfriend asked her (Maria) if she can ask me really quick before he paid and she said "No, because i had already asked if that was all". I myself have worked as a cashier and id never answer anyone this way. For that reason i will not go back. Thanks Maria! read more

I have tried good food here the burritos are the best tacos and flautas good sopes good but there are some dishes that need much improvement I had a shrimp taco and a fish taco both just looked boring I still held hope but both just lacked flavor there could have been more interesting toppings it was only pico de Gallo and lettuce.. the fish taco looked more interesting due to the thousand island looking sauce I took a bite and it was literally thousand island I mean at least make the sauce their hotdog in my opinion was over priced for just grilled veggies good quality bread and hotdog but I guess I was just hoping a more elaborate hotdog with bacon etc read more

Wow, Great food, Some of the best and worst service I've ever seen, so there's that. I have to say, I remember the first time I went there. I was furious. There was no way to order, as far as I could tell. There was this bar people were sitting at, and it was supper busy. No menu, just no way to order some food. Anyway, I learned, eventually.... You go to the Bar and ask one of the nice ones for some food to eat... One of my go-to places. top 5 ! read more

Heard about this from my co-workers, so I decided to go and try the fish taco's and they were surprisingly good! For a quick lunch its great, a little on the pricey side. It was $8.50 for 2 fish taco's. It was good though, so no regrets! read more

Been here a couple of times mostly in the early morning cause they open early and I'm working and rushing. They have good breakfast burritos, they are big and affordable. Not much is open at 6am so deff a good way to start the day. I just recently had their 4 tacos for $6 and it was a solid meal I wouldn't say the best but they are definitely worth trying. I would recommend breakfast burrito chorizo or sausage. read more
