    Double Chili-Cheeseburger + Bacon
    Steve A.

    Oohhhweeeeeeee! Got the: Double-Chilli Cheeseburger w/Bacon, xtra crispy Fries & a root beer. Service was great, the cashier was very professional and nice. A bit of a wait in the drive-thru but I definitely know when it takes a lil'while it means is FRESH!! My fries were actually crispy! Got two thousand islands & two baggies of yellow chilis. I been inside so I know it's always clean and the mood is always great. Will be telling my peeeeps about this burger!

    Cheese burger combo
    John T.

    Similarities: Look and feels a bit like Jim's Burger. They offer american and mexican breakfast, mexican food, sandwiches, salad's, burritos, and burgers. Credit Card: They're accepted. Restroom: They have a restroom out back. Go to the cashier/staffer and ask for the restroom key. It's a bit of a hassle but you got to do what you gotta do to relieve yourself. Location/Parking: NE corner of E 57th and Pacific. Decent amount of parking in their lot, but if you don't see any just park on the street. Ambiance/Decor: Alright ambiance with modern furnishings. Service: Staffers are always nice, friendly, and attentive when I patronize the place. Food comes out at a decent time also. Food Of Choice: I usually get the cheese burger combo with no salt/seasoning on the patty and fries. It's yum! Make sure you ask for ranch! The only negative is that the water/juice/grease from the patty and lettuce will continue to drip if you don't hold the burger correctly. It can get quite messy. Food For Thought: Not many food options in Huntington Park/Vernon, but it'll do.

    Small Chili Cheese Fries

    I was very happy with my side order of strawberries, with the quantity and quality. Second, I think this place had the best chili cheese fries, the French fries are cooked fully, never soggy.

    Love this place- food is bomb! And I always get superb customer service. I'm weak for their chili cheese fries.

    Waffle Breakfast Special

    Chefs always deliver with the food. Presentation is always on point and the food tastes great too. Great prices too. Highly recommend their waffles and pancakes.

    Bad service and food isn't that good. Won't be returning to this place. Seemed like the cashier was new but should be able to get it right.

    Do you have a restaurant woven into your family's history to the point that it feels more like a…read morememory you can step back into rather than just a place to eat? For us, that's El Ranchito in Huntington Park. It's a family-owned, authentic Mexican restaurant that has had the community on its back for the last 6 decades. They hand-make the tortillas right in front of you, serve up fresh chunky guac, and make their iconic Mama Avila's soup fresh daily. It's rare that a soup has me hitting a stank face, but here we are. The Camarones al mojo de ajo is a can't miss appetizer. It's succulent shrimp sauteed in butter and fresh garlic, made to be eaten with the piping hot homemade tortillas. They have all the traditional Mexican dishes, my brothers go to is the chile relleno, but I always just run the fajitas. I'm sure I'll get clowned for this, but nothing heals my trauma and existential dread like a plate of sizzling fajitas. My pops has worked in the area for longer than I've been alive, so El Ranchito has seen every iteration of me, and of my family. For that, I am grateful. I'll be coming here until the wheels fall off. EL RANCHITO ALL STARS!!! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

We walked in and it was a few minutes to get recognized by the hostess. Not a big deal but that bled over into the waitstaff. We were sat and ignored for quite a bit. We waited and we got chips and salsa and someone came for drink orders. The salsa was some of the best I've had. Drinks came back pretty fast but they were average. Something was off about them. We ordered the food and we got it fast! I was surprised how quick it came! It was good Mexican food. Not great but good. All in all, it was a good place for a sit down dinner with drinks.

My dad ordered the Ceviche Nayarit, I ordered the Enchiladas La Casita Mexicana and my wife ordered the Enchiladas Tres Moles. The ceviche tasted fresh, but not really my favorite dish were had. I would say the Enchiladas Tres Moles was my favorite dish we picked. My only problem with that dish was that I wanted more. The plate they served it on made the 3 Enchiladas look small. Customer service was great. Food was great. The interior/exterior was really nice. If you have dogs the patio section in the back is where you'll want to eat from. Great experience. I'd come here again.

I forgot exactly what I had, I want to say it was bistec ranchero or something like that. it was good, nothing bad, but also felt average. They served us chips with mole on top and I was like, why did they pour mole all over, bring a little bucket of mole and let me dip it on the side. That's what a good Christian would do, but no, they went with an anti-Christian practice here, communist almost. don't assume I want everything with mole. I would have been ok with it if the mole had been bomb ass good, but it was ok. I had heard this place used original Oaxacan mole or something so I was hyped. My wife had some eggs with whatever the heck a Filipino woman orders at a Mexican place and she's was fine. I feel bad about this review, maybe this place is a victim of its former reputation, and I was expecting very good Mexican food and all I got was OK Mexican food. Also, for a true Mexican spot, you need to have café Mexicano, with canelita and the waiter told me they didn't have any. How can this be? I do not approve. Maybe if you are white or non-Mexican or a fake Mexican, I think you would have a different opinion of this place, you might think is great, just like El Torito is. Am I confusing this place with some other restaurant because the place I heard of was in Bell and the cooks/chefs were this renowned chefs and I don't think that's the case here or now. For sure, this place is not bad and I don't think you will get bad food, it was just underwhelming.
