Well, this El Dorado Salvadorian restaurant is one of those As I arrived I was greeted friendly and got seated right away. Chips and salts are brought out. The salsa for the chips was amazing. The chips nice and thin and crisp. Today was Tuesday so I got the taco special. $2 tacos as long as you buy soft drink or tea. I had two chicken and one pork street tacos on homemade corn tortillas. The chicken was very good. The pork was excellent. The toenail salsa that came on the side was tasty and just a little heat. Not too much for this gringo. LOL So I want to thank Luis and his uncle who are the owners of this restaurant for the hospitality and the great food today. I really enjoyed our little chat about the difference and Mexican food and local eateries. I'll definitely be back. Bring my partner and have a full dinner.

Awesome place great atmosphere and food was perfectly prepared. Fast and the service was top notch.read more

We came here after church for a tasty, authentic Mexican lunch. Things started off a bit rocky. The…read morerestaurant is listed as opening at 11, but they opened later than stated online and on the door. Our server was initially rude, dismissive, and short. I ordered a quesadilla for my children to share, and she responded with, "the lunch special isn't available, it says that on the menu." While I understand the policy, this could have been communicated in a kinder, more welcoming way. My husband ordered a soda, but it had no flavor and tasted only like soda water. When I politely asked if it could be removed from the bill and replaced with water, the server questioned my request and pointed out that the glass was full, which felt unnecessary and rude. My husband also ordered carne asada. The server asked if he wanted flour or corn tortillas, but none were brought out with his meal. Thankfully, I was able to share one of mine from my tacos. That said, as the meal went on, our server's attitude did improve, and she became more positive and kind, which I appreciated. The food itself was fantastic--my tacos were flavorful, and my children and husband enjoyed their meals as well. The salsa could use more spice, but overall the dishes were fresh and delicious. I hope the service experience improves, because the food truly is worth coming back for. Vinimos aquí después de la iglesia para un almuerzo mexicano auténtico y sabroso. Las cosas empezaron un poco difíciles. El restaurante aparece como abierto a las 11, pero abrieron más tarde de lo que indicaba en línea y en la puerta. Nuestra mesera al principio fue grosera, despectiva y poco atenta. Pedí una quesadilla para que mis hijos compartieran, y ella respondió: "el especial de almuerzo no está disponible, lo dice en el menú." Entiendo la política, pero esto se pudo haber comunicado de una manera más amable y cordial. Mi esposo pidió un refresco, pero no tenía sabor y solo sabía a agua con gas. Cuando le pedí amablemente a la mesera que lo quitara de la cuenta y lo reemplazara por agua, ella cuestionó mi petición y señaló que el vaso estaba lleno, lo cual me pareció innecesario y grosero. Mi esposo también pidió carne asada. La mesera le preguntó si quería tortillas de harina o de maíz, pero no le trajeron tortillas con su platillo. Afortunadamente, pude darle una de las mías de mis tacos. Dicho esto, conforme avanzó la comida, la actitud de la mesera mejoró y se mostró más positiva y amable, lo cual agradecí. La comida en sí fue fantástica: mis tacos estaban llenos de sabor, y mis hijos y mi esposo disfrutaron mucho de sus platillos también. La salsa podría tener más picante, pero en general los platillos estaban frescos y deliciosos. Espero que la experiencia con el servicio mejore, porque la comida realmente vale la pena para volver.

There is a bar, music and a big screen TV. There seems to be plenty of seating, although the seating may be a little uncomfortable, depending on the kind of chairs that you're used to sitting in. The chairs could use some cushions. Plenty of parking. We came on a Saturday night before 7:30 pm, there was no wait time and we were seated immediately. $56 after tip for two adults, but one of us only ordered a half portion. So it could easily approach $60-$65, after tip for a date night, with no alcoholic drink orders. Feels a tad pricey for Mexican food, but that's why I suggest asking if your order is half portion eligible.

The staff welcomed us with patience and kindness, and the service was just as amazing as the food. Speaking of which--everything was delicious, shockingly affordable, and the portions were massive. Their menu is huge--I don't think a single Mexican dish was missing, and they even offer a la carte items. Even with such a large, late order, there were only two small mistakes, which is impressive. I wouldn't fault them at all. We didn't leave until almost 11:30, and even then, the staff was still smiling, saying thank you, come again, and just radiating hospitality. You could tell they truly care about their work and the restaurant. And let me mention how clean the place was--like, oddly clean.

I had the steak and pastor tacos. They were filling and very tasty(two corn tortillas, onions, cilantro, and the meat) and come with two salsas that make for a very modest price tag of 1.49 per taco that is much more nutritious than Tex-Mex. I now cry a little thinking about all the more expensive, fat-filled "steak" tacos I've had at Taco Bell. I also had some tasty fried tilapia(be warned, whole fish!) and my friend, the burrito. If you're used to fountain drinks, you won't find them here. But they do have a very wide variety of Jarritos(sp?) fruit drinks and Coke. I personally recommend the non-alcoholic Sangria. Decor-wise, I read a blog that quoted an adage, the worse a place looks, the better the food. This is true here. The sit-down restaurant part is very small and both the inside and out look clean, but bare-bones; if you repainted your concrete basement 8 years ago and put a tv, some tables, and some chairs, it'd be identical. There are definitely nicer looking taquerias, but that said, the taste isn't as good. While one location had 20 cent cheaper tacos, they were smaller. These were much better prepared. Additionally, the kitchen looked very clean from what I saw. With pricing, you're looking at paying 5.99-7.99+ for dinner meals. If you're looking for cheaper, you can buy 3 tacos for 4.50 total and be filled. 1.50 for most if not all drinks. The exciting part, the service is good and quick. If you go during low-peak hours, you may be the only customer there briefly, they can take your order immediately. One note: I purposely spoke in rough conversational Spanish and they spoke Spanish back(instead of not letting me practice like some places do). That said, I don't know if all the servers speak English or not. Don't be worried though, the menus have both languages and your server will understand fine anything uncomplicated for sure. All in all, Rancho Alegre, while looks aren't impressive, has the best authentic Mexican food I've had in town(I'm on a quest to try them all!), it's value-for-dollar is really good, and I'm very appreciative of the friendly staff and willingness to speak Spanish with my poor attempts. If you're craving authentic Mexican food, give it a shot! *it might be a little hard to locate. Basically it's right across the street from the Churches and Little Caesars off Tennessee Street.

Inside was a pretty standard Mexican restaurant decor. The place was clean and looked to be well kept. Our server didn't seem too excited about life and was a bit slow and unenthusiastic. Brought our chips and salsa pretty quick and took our drink order. When he came back with our waters and soda we placed our food order. I wanted a Carne Asada which I was told is actually no longer available. This is completely bonkers to me. A staple dish at any Mexican restaurant. So I ordered something else that has skirt steak in it. Super confusing how they couldn't do that particular dish. Overall the food we ordered was actually really good.

You can tell they care about doing things the right way. Overall, the meal was outstanding--easily some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. The portions were very generous. The beans were creamy with a nice amount of cheese mixed in, and the rice was full of flavor--you could taste the chicken bouillon, tomato, and spices in every bite.
