This was my first visit and I really liked it! Server brought me complementary chips and salsa while I decided what to order. I ordered carne asada, which was not as flavorful as others I’ve tried but still good. Good portions. The server was attentive and kind.

Wow factor times great food. Authentic taste with each savory bite. Horchata.. they had me at yes we do have it. Great tasting salsa. Chicken flautas with corn totillas.. Definitely good. Chicken had flavors not just bland chicken stuffed in a tortilla. Wonderful. Highly recommend eating here. Prices were reasonable. Overall great.

This was our first visit and we loved it! We will be back for sure. We ordered the beef and bean nachos, fish tacos, birria tacos, molcajete, and chicken taquitos. The birria tacos were not as flavorful as others I’ve tried but were still good. That’s the one dish we would leave off next visit tho. Everything else was delicious and I have no complaints. The server was attentive and kind.

El Ranchito was great! The food was excellent! Cudos to Chef Javier. The service was excellent! Dennis is a real treat. The owner, Daniel, is very welcoming. The prices were excellent! Five of us ate for $100, drinks included! The jalapeño margarita was super hot, the standard maragarita was also great. The carne asada was awesome, as was the fajitas, tacos and burritos. Salsas were very tasty, my favorite was the queso dip. I really liked the fried ice cream and churros, next time I'll try the flan. I can't say enough about El Ranchito! We really enjoyed this place! I hope everyone visits them. You won't regret it!

I am from San Diego, though have lived on the west coast of Florida for 15 years, I truly have missed the freshness of Mexican food, until we ate here. Recently relocated to Citrus Springs and this is my absolutely favorite Mexican restaurant. The rice and beans are so authentic, plus the chicken and steak fajitas taste so good! We will be back soon!
