    Living in SoCal my whole life I have had a lot of Mexican food. It has been a while since I have had any that I had to finish the whole plate and stop short of licking the bowl. We ordered a lot. -California burrito was loaded with meat and guacamole, tasted amazing. -Taquitos were nice and crispy but not over done. Smothered in guacamole with rice and beans. -3 chicken and 3 carnitas tacos. All had great flavor and were tender. Well loaded. -2 green wet carnitas burritos. I couldn't stop eating it. Should have paced myself! I haven't had one this good in forever. Highly recommended! -albondigas soup. This was top tier. Large chunks of carrots, potatos, and meatballs. So good! Highly recommend! -Bean and cheese burrito. Can't go wrong with it. -chips and salsa (their red salsa is now my favorite) The staff was very nice when we came in to pick up our phone order. We even had to add a last minute bean and cheese that they cranked out fast! The inside has a more fast food restaurant feel than a sit down restaurant feel but there are tables. Over all I highly recommend giving Rancho Taco Shop a try to see for yourself! I know I will be going back.

    3 Small Tacos ~ carne asada, chicken, and fried fish
    Kevin A.

    Very clean and nice little family run restaurant with an extensive menu, broader in depth with the classics than one would expect. I opt to try the 3 Mini Tacos featured in the photo and of those? I prefer the asada. It's finely chopped, almost like ground beef, but flavorful (5/5). The chicken was solid too, tender shredded chicken with fresh lettuce atop it, the fresh green salsa worked well atop it (5/5). The one that didn't work for me quite as well was the fish as it was mostly fry batter and it was hard to taste the fish. These are mini tacos so maybe ordering something larger in size - yes, they have "Big Tacos" for double the price - might allow for more of the actual fish to be served. In any event, I hit it with the fresh lemon and it's fine (3/5). Rancho Taco Shop is a nice place with freshly served Mexican staples at very fair prices. Wish I lived closer to it!

    Steak and Eggs Breakfast!

    Hands Down the Best Steak and Eggs Breakfast! I've been to several Breakfast Spots in the IE and no place has a better Steak and Eggs for the price! Service is quick and everything was fresh. Been here a few times and Never been disappointed.

    Tamales time of the year!

    The food here is delicious and must-have when you're in town. I would highly recommend trying the breakfast burrito and making it wet! It is a great family owned restaurant. 5 stars!

    Breakfast burrito
    Perch View P.

    Ordered a Bacon Breakfast burrito for pick up over the phone. They gave me a regular breakfast burrito with everything that included Ham, sausage etc. when I got home I called them and they refused to take ownership of the mistake and denied me saying Bacon breakfast burrito. I called asking for a refund and they said the only way to do that is to return the burrito. I'm already inconvenienced with the wrong order and now they want to inconvenience me further by driving back just to drop off the incorrect burrito. Then they hung up on me . I get places make mistakes but the way these people handled it was very disappointing. Terrible service. Would not recommend.

    I ordered 3 carne asada tacos, 2 pollo tacos and 2 al pastor tacos. The carne asada and al pastor tacos were amazing. I would recommend both to anyone that tries tacos here. The pollo tacos weren't bad, they were shredded chicken that was very pretty juicy, but not a ton of flavor added to the chicken. They do have 3 good salsas to choose from, so that helped add flavor to the pollo tacos. They have a self-serve salsa bar with the 3 salsa and some carrots, radishes and green chilies. They offer 2 red salsas, one hot and one mild, and 1 green sauce. All three were great, I think the best way to pick which one to use should be based off the amount of heat you want. And if you get enough tacos, you should try all 3 of them. When I went in for lunch, all of the tables inside were filled, but the service was still quick, and the tacos were perfect when I got home with my order.

    I had been wanting to check this place out and finally did! This place is located in a shopping center. I came around 7:30, about 30 minutes to closing. Wait time for food was about 20 minutes. It was very slow around that time. I noticed they have different kinds of food in their menu. They have a sign outside stating they are now open on Mondays. I ordered 8 asada tacos. They were edible. Their red salsa was good and not too spicy. I would return, but not around to closing time.

Still, I was able to find a spot quickly. Walking in, there's a sign that says "Wait to be seated", but when the waitress came out, she said we could sit wherever we wanted. We chose a booth by the window. I don't know how old this restaurant is, but I could tell that the booth we chose was really popular because the leather seats were so worn down that they had to patch some of the holes up. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately given menus, water, chips, and salsa. The salsa was really spicy, though, so as much as we love chips and salsa and would normally have finished it all off before our actual meal came, we could only eat half of it. Across from us was a big family of Latinos which for me was a good sign. After all, if they're Latino themselves, they could easily just make the same food at home, but if the food here was good enough for them to come here instead, then the food had to be decent. Since I'm vegetarian, I had to ask for them to not put meat in my enchilada, so the waitress just made it a cheese one. If you're vegetarian like me, there's not really much on the menu for us, but at least they're accommodating enough to leave the meat out if you ask. If you're vegan, you're really out of luck since it seems everything will have at least melted cheese on top. All of the food came out quickly and at the same time, which is appreciated since not all restaurants do that. In addition, the portions were big enough for us to eat most of it there, then be full enough to want to take the rest of it home, which makes up for the cost since it is a little expensive. Again, I don't know how old the restaurant is, but you could tell it's been aged through the years, like the paint is peeling off or splattered with what looked like salsa. Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place. On the other hand, if it's been around long enough to go through that kind of wear and tear, it's a testament to the loyalty of its customers. Plus, they do try to make it look nice with balloons, flowers, and flags. And they try to clean up the tables as soon as people are done eating. I just finished eating my leftovers and it tasted as good as it did when I ate it at the restaurant. So the food is good, the sizes, especially for the cost, are decent. Just know that the place is a little worn down, but the employees try their best to smile, be friendly, and quick to attend to your needs.

Wait Staff: I wish I took the name of our waitress because she was awesome, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. All waiters/waitresses were great. Drinks: Unfortunately I didn't get any drinks because we kept seeing the brightly colored drinks and flights being served around us and I was jealous, they all looked awesome. Food: This is where it gets good because the food was A+++mazing. We started off with just the salsa, chips and for a nice surprise, some warm beans. The salsa brought a tear to my eye because it was soooo good. Luckily, my son doesn't eat salsa so I drank it all down. The chips were perfectly fresh and crispy. Guac: So, our waitress brought us some off the menu guac, and, WTF, why are they hiding this recipe from the rest of the world. I literally got into a fist fight with my son because he was trying to take it from me (not really) but I didn't want to share. The presentation was so cute too. Plantains + chips + guac = heavan Fajitas: I ordered fajitas and all boxes were checked, quantity, quality, and taste. I ordered the chicken and it was juicy and thick and perfectly seasoned. Steak tacos: My kid ordered the steak tacos and we brokered a deal to trade some steak for chicken and this was the best deal made since the New Deal (American history). Steak was chunky and juicy and fresh! The only problem with this place is that it is very far from my house as I was in the 'hood for my kids basketball tournament. If I am in the area you better believe that I will be back. Oh yeah, and very affordable for the upscale dining.

Once I called them to let them know they messed up my order but no one spoke English, I got a translator and they told the translator they didn't mess up. Tonight when I ordered I was trying to eye the order as they made it so food didn't get wasted. I seen a similar order and reminded the cook to not put onions and he told me the order wasn't mine. I said sorry and stepped back. The man taking my order was laughing and told me to calm down. I mean it's not really funny when you're spending $15 for a meal that you aren't going to eat and have to be reminding them something that's on the paper. When it was my turn to get my food he decided to have conversations about me in Spanish to other customers and was laughing. My mood was turned off. I come here 1-2 times a week. I don't feel like being taunted because I don't speak Spanish. I told the man at the register I didn't appreciate what he was doing and also told him I won't be coming back. Going as far as making jokes about someone just trying to grab some food after a long day and just wants a right order for once is not okay. Now reading other comments the tall guy at the register is rude and clearly lacks proper customer service skills.
