Tortilleria El Rancherito has really really good pork tamales. I usually get the half a dozen pack that comes with 1 hot sauce, green , orange or red . I typically pay the extra $1 each to have all 3. The orange one I feel pair better with them. They have other popular dishes , I haven't tried any but the tamales but heard that their tacos are pretty good too . read more

Tortilleria El Rancherito - Pork tamales with orange, red and green hot sauce - Tacos Near Me - Red Oak, Texas

Food is amazingly delicious. Take out orders only but the food is all freshly made and the tortillas fresh.

The location is small, no indoor seating but they have a lot of different meat options and a juice bar. I tried the chile verde which was good but we got a chicken burrito and it had thick chunks of onion in there that were difficult to eat. The red salsa was good and heard they have a black salsa that's better. Ambiance is okay but it's difficult to hear in the restaurant. The service was pleasant. read more

Recently moved to Glenn Heights and found this place. Instantly loved this place. Everything has always been good. I always get me a 1/2 pound of carnitas just to snack on. They are always nice and at this point they know my order as soon as I walk in. My only taco/tamale spot I go to. read more

Tortilleria El Rancherito - tortillas in a styrofoam container - Tacos Near Me - Red Oak, Texas

I'll start with the positive! Good service, terrible food! Definitely on the top list for terrible barbacoa! The meat is not tender at all and therefore it's cut out in big chunks they couldn't take it apart themselves! The tortillas and the Coca-Cola we had was the best part! Not to mention I got 6 tacos 2 quesadillas 3 drinks and it was $45. Not fairly priced! We literally took two bites and threw the rest out there was not way I could eat it! And I hate wasting food. Also no sitting space inside! Buen servicio, pero muy feo sazón! Pedí 6 tacos y dos quesadillas de barbacoa y no pudimos comérnoslas. La carne de la barbacoa tiene un sabor muy desagradable como que le pusieron mucho epazote, y estaba muy hediondo el sabor! Aparte la carne no es tiernita y te la sirven en trozo muy grande! Las tortillas fueron lo único rico! read more

New to red Oak and was looking for a good taco spot...... the amount I spent on the food you would think it would b good absolutely not! I got tamales they were stiff and very hard don't know if they were undercooked or just old . Got tacos with different meats not good as well lacked flavor in everything. Do not recommend........... read more

Tortilleria El Rancherito - a hand holding a sandwich - Tacos Near Me - Red Oak, Texas

Finally had the opportunity to have some breakfast tacos and although they were delicious the size and cost don't make it worth it. Two ingredient 3.5-4" tiny taco cost $2.00 each no cheese that's an extra 50cents. Taste was great but seeing all four little tacos in the box was very disappointing for $10. We got cheese with each taco cause that's a must. Tacos y mas or places in Dallas' tacos are easily twice the size or bigger at the same cost. Good food but still hungry. Glad we tried but will stick to the main tacos or tamales over the breakfast menu. read more

This is my new favorite Mexican spot. They're super quick, quicker than a drive thru. I try something new each time I go. The horchata is my favorite drink and the Mexican coke. This is my spot to buy tortillas, chips and small groceries for Mexican food. Absolutely amazing and friendly staff. read more

Fresh tortillas made daily. A great variety of snacks and a very welcoming environment. The staff has been great

Finally they r on yelp. Lol been waiting to rate them cause it was an awesome experience. Well the food was so good. Fresh and made daily. The employees are super friendly and jive. Also explaining how to order and what they offer. We were there in November twice and 3 times in December. No where to sit cause they didn't have anywhere to sit so we had to eat out tacos in back of our car Hahahahaha didn't stop us. They mentioned that they were building a sit down area soon. Tamales are the best I've ever had in the DFW area but that's just my opinion guys I know those are fighting words but it's definitely my pick. They also have lots of bake good but what I love is the meats that they make. Like the carnitas and barbacoa it's so basic and natural tasting like put spicy salsa and dong ding ding we have a winner. The tortillas are also phenomenal. Haven't been here in a while do you busy schedule but hope to go there to pick up some Togo's especially not with the coronavirus . Try it out people it's definitely worth the try. Hope they are still great like I had them in December. Have to go there soon. read more

I have only ever tried the carnitas but every time I go there they do not disappoint. Definitely lucky to have this place close to home.

Absolutely loved it! My first experience made me a #1 fan. I had a taco plate and a bag of their chips with freshly made guacamole... So far the best Mexican cuisine in the area. read more

Best barbacoa & carnitas in Red Oak. The service is great, hardly ever a long wait when I go. You also have the option to eat outside in the patio area. My kids love their snack area. read more

Super good authentic Mexican food! And their breakfast tacos and fresh tortillas are delicious! Highly recommend.

I order 6 pork tamales today. Received tamales that had potatoes, carrots and two pieces of beef. I bought the tamales for my neighbors. I was embarrassed, because I told them how good they were. We went the day befoe and they were delicious. And back today, very disappointed read more

Just moved to town and been wanting to try this place really bad, went Saturday and Sunday and on both days showed up almost 2 hours before close to be told "sorry sir but our kitchen is closed" guess I'll just have to keep trying and come earlier. read more

The tamales were not done at all, way too much red chile in the menudo, i paid plenty of money for the food and this is what i got, i do not recommend this place, i think they are just trying to make a quick buck, i don't like talking bad about any place but this one was no good for me so i give them no stars!! read more

Went today to check this place out. Purchased tamales, barbacoa,carnitas, fresh tortillas and menudo. Everything was great but the menudo! The menudo was not washed properly and therefore tasted horrible. Those of you who know what menudo tastes like when it's not washed/cleaned properly know what an unpleasant experience it is. I'll definitely come back but for anything but the menudo. read more

Their service was amazing! Very nice lovely lady who served me. Also the food was delicious! Real Mexican food.

Awesome customer service... Finally a place in Red Oak where we can get some authentic Mexican food
