It was a little hard to find. At first we thought it was a grocery store because the front of the restaurant stocks items for sale- and the word Antojitos is small on the sign outside. Glad we decided to stop and go in!

We were a little adventurous in our ordering and ended up loving everything we tried. I don't know that life will take us down that road again, so this is probably one of those once in a lifetime hits with amazing food, wonderful people and over the top decor!

The mashed potatoes on the side were smooth and loaded with flavor, and the Spanish rice was spot on as always, fluffy, well-seasoned, and the perfect complement to the whole plate. My dining partner went with the enchiladas, and honestly they were a showstopper. One smothered in green salsa, one in red mole sauce, both drizzled with crema and crumbled cotija cheese, the presentation alone was beautiful, almost like the Mexican flag on a plate! The flavor combination was incredible, with each sauce bringing something totally different to the table. The portions are generous, the food comes out hot, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or want to try something a little more traditional, El Ranchero has you covered. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid, satisfying Mexican meal. We'll definitely be back!

Went to El Centro Mexicano with my husband and kids, and unfortunately it was a very upsetting…read moreexperience. We ordered chicken nachos and a choridip. The chicken nachos were dry, but that quickly became the least of our concerns. My 9-year-old daughter found a chip with a tiny roach on it. It was absolutely unacceptable and disturbing. A server (who wasn't even ours) was very apologetic and immediately notified the manager on duty--a young man. Shockingly, he dismissed it and said it was "nothing," and never came over to our table to apologize. The server did agree that we should not be charged, which we appreciated, but the lack of accountability from management made the situation even worse. My daughter was so shaken that she cried and even threw up afterward.

I was in Winchester shopping at Gabe's clothing store in the Delco plaza. I wasn't that lucky with…read morewhat I found... I decided on Mexican for lunch. El Centro is right in town on the walking mall. I finally found a place to park, lots going on in Winchester on a Saturday. I go in around 1140AM and the place is almost empty. Ok, I decided on a seat at the bar. It was breezy outside but definitely not cold. I decide on a frozen margarita, I think it was lime flavor. The bartender made it in a flash and I was still thinking about the menu. I remember the queso Blanco with chorizo was very tasty last time I was in the restaurant. I order that and decide on the taco plate (3 tacos) with beef. The margarita is pretty good. It's a Saturday and I'm wondering where the lunch crowd is. The queso arrives with chips. It's ok, the overwhelming taste was pork, not really the cheese I expected. It smelled like pork too...I ate some and decided I had enough. Chips and salsa were provided so I switched over to those until my food arrived. After a bit the margarita is half gone the tacos arrive. Refried beans, lettuce, cheese, Mexican rice and the rest of the taco fixins were on a big plate. Nice! I filled the tacos and enjoyed the rice. The beans were tasty as well. The taco plate is gone, I'm full and I finish the margarita, pay my tab and I'm out. I may go back next time I'm in Winchester.

UPDATE: After getting a lovely response from the management…read moreat this location through Google reviews, I decided to give them another try! My friend and I had lunch there yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised with this experience. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with the molé sauce and my friend ordered the shrimp tacos. The presentation of the enchiladas was impressive and the shrimp tacos looked tasty! I loved the sauce on my dish and the cheese/queso. I was full after 2 and a half of the enchiladas. It came with 4. My friend filled up on 2/3 of the tacos. Soni was our server and she did amazing! She was sure to keep our waters filled and was consistently checking in with us. The cleanliness of the restaurant and bathrooms were still impressive, despite a couple of crumbs on the table when we sat down. The chips and salsa were still my favorite part. I can be pretty picky when it comes to salsa but I love the texture and taste of this salsa. The chips always come out crispy and fresh! We were there at lunch time and the restaurant was not super busy. I'm glad I gave them another try! My husband and I love mexican food and were excited to try this location. I was very pleased with the environment when we walked in. The staff was welcoming and the restaurant was beautiful. I was excited to get seated in a booth immediately on a Friday at around 5. I will also say that the bathrooms were incredibly clean! My husband and I both ordered tacos, but we were disappointed to find out they were out of the Birria tacos. I was shocked because it seemed early enough on a Friday for them to not be running out of items. I ordered chicken tacos and was not impressed. They were very bland and didn't come with much to add to the chicken and tortilla although, the plate was presented beautifully. My husband ordered the fish tacos and while he did enjoy them, they were also quite underwhelming. The service was not exceptional. I had to ask for water multiple times and as I was once a waitress myself, I was always taught water should be served immediately. I also had to remind my waitress 2 times that we had ordered the queso. It didn't come out until we had already received our food. Despite this, the chips and salsa were actually quite tasty and kept us satisfied. The server did bring more chips when we were getting low and was attentive to my soda and my husbands beer. I did feel the waitress could've been more attentive, but she was very kind and cheerful. I feel it's also important to note that the restaurant did not seem to be busy. I was happy to find that for two orders of tacos, a beer, and a soda, the bill was roughly $50, plus a $10 tip. While my husband and I prefer other Mexican restaurants in the area, I am glad we got to experience El Habanero.

Prices are more affordable than a lot of other spots, which is a plus. Complimentary chips and salsa were nice, But the restaurant wasn't very clean, and there was only one employee running the whole front of the place. They were doing their best, but it still took forever just to get our check at the end. Overall, it's budget-friendly and the sides are tasty, but the cleanliness and slow service make it hard to fully recommend.
