Super awesome people! The food is good the place is clean! The tea was made to perfection as a southerner the tea made me smile! Friendly staff our waitress today was amazing: Elizabeth is super at her job!
Couldn't even drink the margarita. It was too strong. No flavor to it at all except the alcohol. Waitress took 20 minutes just to bring a refill. Also just brought our food and then left without asking if we needed anything else, only to disappear again. Never asked how everything was or if we needed a refill. Kind sucks that a place that was once good, went downhill when they moved out of that shopping center.
The food is good, reasonably priced and came out quickly. The best part about our dinner however was our waitress (older Latina woman with dyed blonde hair). She was so friendly and accommodating. Best service we've experienced in awhile.
Awesome food. The atmosphere is fantastic and staff is great.
Absolutely love this restaurant! My family and I come here (almost too often) and the food has always been great, quick service, and the food is always hot when it's brought out. Absolutely love their margaritas! Drink prices are a little high but catch the margarita specials or split a tower with friends.
Good service.. great food! Big smiles:)
Always great food and fantastic service here.
Refried beans are FAR FROM being my favorite thing in Mexican Restaurants, but EL Ranchero's were really GOOD! (And so was the rest of the food.) I would definitely return to this place. :)
It's got beautiful decor. The service is either below average or it's good. All depends on who you get as a server. The food comes out quickly.
Food has always been great. Service is kind of a gamble. It was either be prompt and exact or you will be waiting forever to get drinks or refills. I've had fantastic service and I've had waits for refills or even the check for so long that i had to go find someone. Clean and warm atmosphere. Great food. Just dont be in a rush cause there's no garuntee on how long itll be
Food is disgusting and they are dirty do not wash hands after using restrooms
Good food at a decent price.
Great food great service.
Nice atmosphere, good service and great food!
Huge and delicious margs
I had the pollo costeno, it was outstanding
Not from area. Clean, enthusiastic servers and great food. Definitely recommend
I love this place the food is really good, margaritas excellent and very reasonably priced. wonderful selection of entrees , fresh , never have a bad meal here also they have fried icecream so flippin delicious!! I love the colorful decor. It is family friendly or great for friends or date night. Can't wait to go back!
Went with my grandparents for a birthday meal yesterday, chips were dry and my grandparents enchiladas were extremely salty and beans were cold they didn't finish their meal, they were out of guacamole and I didn't have much food on my plate. Sometimes you go there and have amazing service, sometimes it's okay service, sometimes it's terrible service.. It all depends on who is working that day honestly.
Very good customer service. The servers are constantly checking up on they're tables. The drinks were amazing. I will definitely recommend this Resturant to my peers and will be back!
Great food and drink
This restaurant is covered wall-to-wall in crazy, bright Mexican art. Chips are ok, food is decent, prices are fair and service is quick. All around alright place to go for Mexican food: not rushing back any time soon, but no real complaints.
We had a great server! She got everything we needed. Including things for two little kids. The food was also really good today, though I wish no Mexican restaurants used cilantro. I find that particularly nasty in my food. But, they used it sparingly, which made me happy.
Good food, comes out hot and fast!
Service was great and food is delicious
kinda high but good food
Good beef tacos and burritos. The Burrito Jalisco was very tasty as well.
Great food, service is excellent and food is always tasty, hot and quick.
Food was good service was slow
I. Have A. Wonderful. Time. Great. Conversation. Good. Service. If. You. Like. This Excellent. Good. Food. !
Great food and great service.
Good food, great service in a festive environment. Good Margaritas. It's great for a casual dinner or to celebrate something big or small.
It's okay, not enough choices on the menu. They're all mostly the same thing but in different words.
Great food, and beautiful interior. I've never been here during a dinner time, so I can't promise for those times, but I've never had to wait very long
Great food
The service was excellent and the food fresh and delicious. I love the guacamole. I have had the chicken chimichangas every time I’ve been here and they are fantastic. My brother loves the steak fajitas and my sister loves the enchiladas. The prices are reasonable. We always enjoy going to El Ranchero.
Great ! Love mexican food.
Best service, best food, clean, bright, and satisfying.
i came here with my family and ordered the salmon tacos. my entire family got their food first and i had to wait another 10 minutes for mine. when i finally got my food, it only had salmon and cabbage. no avocado, pico, or mango salsa, even though all of that was advertised in the special. the salsa and chips were good though.
they are always fast and polite, and the food is always great! my fiance and i go here as often as we can!
The inside is shockingly ornate and colorful - actually very well done - lots of talented carving and painting work in the walls, tables, and chairs. There are authentic tacos and all the usual Mexican-American fare you know and love from Mexican restaurants. Food and service was great. We will definitely come back.
Great food large portions friendly wait staff and a large. Variety of dishes
One of the few restaurants my family has had multiple good experiences in with picky and rambunctious kids.
The food was horrible. And the place was unsanitary. It was honestly a safety violation there was a freaking live mouse running around and eating on the tables. I only had a few bites but I walked out immediately. Not good at all
Que Rico Comida! On a recent business trip I stopped in. The Enchiladas con papas was delicious. Very colorful atmosphere. Service and hospitality was very inviting.
I enjoyed the steak and fajitas and the food was fantastic. The decor was incredible and what a great atmosphere.
My favorite!! Love the staff and food!!
great food! tacos mi terra are where it's at!
Best Mexican food I have had since I lived in Nashville, TN and I have lived in 5 different states since then.
I went for lunch with co workers and honestly did nt felt happy about our food.. our server was good but food wise a biggggg nooooooo I left very discontent and honestly will never again come back...
I like the new space; good is always good, and the margaritas are great.
I've been going to El Ranchero for years. Today was my last visit. The food was fine, but the service was not. We did not feel welcomed.
The salsa is fresh and delicious, the fajitas were wonderful, and the chocolate chimichanga is fantastic! Only complaint is the tortilla chips seemed a bit stale. I love chips and salsa and am used to the chips being served warm and fresh in a Mexican restaurant, especially on a weekend night. But that's a fairly small thing and didn't ruin the meal that was otherwise great! If not for that I would give 5 stars.
Stopped in for dinner on our way to DC. To my surprise the food was quite flavorful and not bland like several of the Mexican restaurants I'm used to. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed combination plates. I had a chicken enchilada and a taco. He had a chicken quesadilla and a tamale. We both enjoyed what we got and our waitress was attentive.
This place is always a go to spot for authentic mexican cuisine. I frequently dine in both the Hagerstown locations and they have yet to disappoint. The staff is always very attentive and pleasant, the food is always hot, fresh and tasty. On top of the A plus service and food are the unbeatable prices. As far as a full service restaurant goes the prices are more than reasonable, especially for the lunch specials. The white cheese queso is a must have appetizer. I hope you enjoy as much as my family does.
Food was better than expected, good drinks, enjoyed it a lot.i think I need to try it again before I claim 5 stars but liked my first experience there.
Great food, Great place
Food is always gteat here. Never disappointed when i eat here
We had a delicious lunch here! The chicken suiza was outstanding-highly recommend. Please stop by when you get a chance.
Loved it very polite employees and fast service doing door dash when I went up there loved it
Menus are filthy and sticky. Food is good. Just grossed me out touching the menu.
Great food at very reasonable prices. Also, the homemade salsa is amazing!
Met some friends here for lunch and both families enjoys. Good amount of food for the price e and service was good also.
Always great food
One of those places that from the outside you think, I'm going to eat here? but when you walk in. WOW! The atmosphere is as good as the food. Which is really good! A fun place with really good food.
Lil pricey for what it is. Food is ok. What you expect from Mexican restaurant.Service ok
Wonderful for a comfortable family meal. Savory food, speedy service, & unobtrusive atmosphere. Be sure to try their Spanish rice!
Very clean, very friendly. Fast dining time, great food
Great staff and yummy food
Food is amazing. But. Here's why I gave it one star. Apparently since they have opened, they have charged a small fee if you decide to make an order to go. Just recently I noticed the charge on the receipt. So last time I was there I asked about the charge. Most of the employees speak Spanish and are hard to understand. When I asked they all gathered together at the register and talked about me asking about the charge. Once I got an answer about them always charging the fee I noticed they also rang up my order wrong then they had to call over a manager to fix it, at which time they brought up the take order fee again to him and continued to talk about me again after I was already told about the fee. Before the manager left the register he says we've always charged that fee and walks away. Don't think I'll be going back!!!
Food was delicious and at a reasonable price. The waitress was very pleasant and helpful. She made our visit enjoyable. I'll definitely be there again.
Really enjoyed their food. I ordered the enchiladas and taquitos. Very much recommend. Great beers available.
They were swamped when we were there and they still took great care of us. The food is great!
Best El Ranchero in town. I specially love the kind server that works there, she's always ready to help you with any special requests. Ask to be seated in Bernardita's section next time!
It was no customers in there and they were very nice and clean. Speedy service
One of our go to places now that new opening craze is past. Great location on the south side which seriously lacks in sit down food options. Dining room is really decked out and interesting. Service is now quick and efficient. The food is excellent and portions are large. Great beer selection with regular drink "specials". The salsa is the weakest offering but is passable. Wait staff are great. I will be a regular customer.
Reasonable prices , good food
I enjoyed dinner at El ranchero. although the traditional stuff, the traditional American choices, we're pretty normal, average, the more specialized stuff was amazing. I would say if you're going to go here spend the money and get the better items.
Atmosphere and food was very good!
Excellent food!
This is not mexican food at all. Pretty sad when this is being passed off as mexican when its not.
Mmm
The wait staff here is just so professional. I was here when a young toddler was crying and crying. The waiter amused the child in such a sweet way, we really appreciated that. Elsewise, good solid Mexican style food and vibe.
Great food, great margaritas, fun atmosphere. It's a great restaurant. Prices are good too.
My favorite things there (and this is pretty silly) is their chips and salsa. In my opinion their complementary Salsa is just perfect. I crave that salsa. The food is about standard to any mexican restaurant you usually go to. Service …
Very disappointed with the service tonight. She did not ask us 1 time if we were ok or if we needed anything. We had to flag her down. Not busy at all, so no exception. Bill before asking for dessert. Not a happy camper at all. Vety …
Excellent food, good service!
Flamboyant interior, personable staff, quick service, but alas Bloomington still gets only Tex-Mex options
Great restaurant on the Southside of Bloomington. Prices are really reasonable and staff is great. Food is also pretty good. I highly recommend it!
Ask for the fresh made margherita they are delicious
Amazing food. Amazing staff. Not a long wait. The place is so beautiful so festive. Love love love.
Ordered from DoorDash. I ordered two sides of queso dips, instead I got this weird queso-beef mixture stuff. I specified no lettuce on the tacos, they loaded them with lettuce. I ordered a side of beans, and they didn’t even give me the beans. I’m very disappointed. I usually love El Ranchero. This was my first experience at this location and I’ll never eat at that location again.
Food was great and price was reasonable
Good atmosphere
Great food and service..
Excellent food and service thank you so much
Those nacho dishes are amazing! I get one everytime I go there. Staff is very friendly.
Beautiful, colorful place and fresh, tasty food. Super fun :)
Good Food, customer service,,
We sat at the bar. Service was impeccable. Food was great. We'll definitely be back!
One of my top Mexican spots in town
The service here is excellent. They have good lunch combos and are quick. There entrees are a bit pricey
Good food and experience.
Good food fairly cheap...good atmosphere
Wonderful food and great people. Cannot come here enough. Salsa is always just right. Pulled pork is outstanding.
Good food at good prices
This was our second time at this restaurant. Each time=great service & delicious food. There is so much to choose from that we have to go back to try other items that looked appetizing.
Great food, good wait staff, we enjoy the restaurant atmosphere.
Very nice looking and cozy inside. Great for date's and family outings. Very reasonable prices and awesome food, just a all around great restaurant.
very good food and Very kind employees
Awesome food with huge portions and great drinks. Always really nice servers when me and my wife would there. Get some salsa to go!
The service was good and the main entree was hot and fresh but the side dishes tasted like they had been sitting for awhile. The rice was overcooked.
One of the best places to buy sale items and that usually is meat. Example: chicken breast skinless and boneless $0.88 a pound in a 10 pound bag. Pork chops $0.77 a pound. Once again most other items are expensive. Meat and sales items great.
Music was way too loud we had to ask them to turn it down. Food was good.
A VERY surprising visit. Great food, great service! It doesn't get much better!
El Ranchero has great food. There food has great flavor and nice portions. The owner, managers and staff were awesome. When you're in Hagerstown... you need to check them out.
10/10 for atmosphere. Had the lunch chimichanga, which was fine. Portion size was good but beans tasted like they'd been burnt a bit. Staff was super friendly and checked in on me, salsa was bland. Willing to give it another try.
Love their Nachos Jalisco. Fast and friendly service.
Food was a BIG LET DOWN at this location. But the one in rout 40, is exceptional.
Authentic Mexican not that Beto 0'rorke taco bell stuff.
I love coming here the service is usually speedy and the wait staff are always on their A game. The food is awesome.
I'm a regular and it's always good food and good service. I've never had a bad experience.
Some of the better Mexican food I've had since moving here from Dallas.
Amazing decor. This place is alive with color. The booths, tables and chairs are all covered in carvings and inlays of Mexican scenes. It feels very welcoming and friendly. The food is very good as well.
Awesome lunch specials and great food!!!!
Love the bright and ornate decor. Food is served quickly and tastes great. Fajitas are wonderful! Friendly service and reasonably priced.
The food and service were great.
My absolute favorite place in Hagerstown to eat! Food is always great and service is good as well. They get my order right every single time. I have never had a bad experience with El Ranchero! I would rate 100 stars if I could!
We waited an hour and a half for our burritos, beans and rice, and drinks were left empty on the table for far too long. Disappointing
Service is usually good, food comes out fast and steaming hot. Typical Americanized Mexican fare. We usually get a single serving of fajitas with an extra plate. Portions are so large we always have some to take home even after sharing the entree.
Great food and friendly wait staff!!
Great food! Awesome decor! Fun environment! ....will definitely be back soon!
Terrible service food was cold rice was old
Hot Salsa! Ask for it! Yum!
Menu's were sticky. Whatever happened to warm chips?? Salsa was watery.... usually everything is great...t
We absolutely LOVE this place and our family goes at least every other week.
Not too bad, had lunch on a Saturday and service was decent. I lived in Southwest AZ for close to 10 years so I'm picky about Mexican food but wasn't too bad.
Good food
good food good service nice atmosphere
Just came back from a very good lunch at El Ranchero on Winslow. The food was tasty, our waiter was excellent with a nice smile, but I liked the decor best of all: a wild array of large colorful painted murals, chairs, tables, even the ceiling depicting Mexican and tropical scenes. Lots to look at while you enjoy the food!
Fantastic. In town for a visit and went for lunch. Great food, great service and good atmosphere.
This is the 2nd time same location I had a bad food experience. On my last visit with friends on 3rd of July afternoon they served us bad guacamole. If the owner or the manager rewind your cameras you will find out what exactly went wrong with the whole lunch process that day. Everything was off and moreover the whole staff was rude including manager.
They must have changed there mix in the margaritas. They didn't taste as good. However their food was still delicious. And their service was good no complaints. My favorite is the shrimp tilapia exquisite.
Best place in town. Don't bother thinking about anywhere else. This is the spot. Food is awesome and you couldn't ask for better service. Best people on earth. Just like family. I promise you this is where it's at. MAKE SURE TO GO TO THE EAST WINSLOW LOCATION. The other location is nowhere near as good for service
Their chimichangas are da bomb
As always, great service, friendly staff and great food. Carry-out was ready in minutes and my Corona Extra was nice and cold while I waited. Nice job!!
It was a great atmosphere and the food was good but it didn’t wow me. The staff was fantastic though!
Good fajitas texanas. Good quick service
The salsa & chips were bland and basic flavors. They didn't have aguas frescas which was a disappointment :/ we wanted horchata. The waiter wasn't very deligent & gave us onions after we asked for none. I do have to say the shrimp tacos were Good! & the decorations are lively & bright !
Very good food always.
Worst vegetarian options!had worst taco ever. Waitress was unattentive and not at all helpful!
Food is great! California style burritos are my fav! Prices could be a little lower, so I only get to go when i have some extra cash in my pocket.
Great service great food but experience
I got the Supreme 9.79 Consists of four enchiladas — one chicken, one beef, one cheese and one bean. All topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. I would buy again. I will say that if you consider yourself a big eater, you would want to get an appatizer with the meal. Chips and salsa, bar seating, plenty of tv with sports, good wait staff.
Slow but it was 5 de Mayo...food was awesome as always
Food was by far best in state. Service was more than perfect. Staff friendly and very helpful.they would go out of there way to help both elderly man and pregnant woman. Extremely impressed
If your eyes are offended by bright colors, you might want to go somewhere else. This location features the same wonderfully hideous relief art as the other El Ranchero locations, only there's more of it. Lots more. Just about every surface is covered with brightly colored art, including the walls, the windows, the fronts and backs off the chairs and benches, the tabletops, parts of the ceiling, and even the table legs. It's an assault on the eyes. Personally, this is a plus for me, but I can imagine that it might be a bit off-putting to some. The food is your standard Mexican restaurant fare. Unlike the other El Ranchero locations, they do not serve all-you-can-eat tacos on Tuesdays.
Food is always good and employees are always really nice and polite
The decor is extremely flashy, but it is nice! The wait for food was very short. Maybe 8 to 10 minutes. Started with sodas and chips and dip on our table 30 seconds after ordering them, then we perused the menu, great selection and pricing. The food was out fast, and was delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes good Mexican food!
Service and food are good. Chips and salsa comes out fast. The prices are reasonable.
This place is great. Stop going to chains when you can get better food for the same price here.
When the cooks are in a cookin mood the grub is great, but it is kinda hit n miss
Best Mexican food in town!
Favorite place to eat! They have the best Mexican food that I’ve ever had!
Great food, great prices! Beautiful colorful carved wood furniture and fun decorations! Very authentic
Good prices. Fast and friendly service.
Good food, good customer service, nice atmosphere
Outstanding food , great service at good prices. Highly recommended to everyone who like Tex Mex food.
Good food good price great service
Kid friendly, but I wouldn't mind eating here with adult family and friends, either. The food is typical for a sit-down chain, the portions are generous, the salsa and chips were immediate, the music had the kids tapping and swaying the whole time, and the decorations gave them something to look at and talk about. Kids meals include the obligatory pizza, etc., and free drinks. The service was prompt, the wait was short (maybe because we ate there at 4:20 pm) and the food was hot. We'll probably go back; the kids insist.
Very nice to look at wasn't that impressed with what I ordered was impressed with the restaurant
Great lunch menu, and wonderful service.
Fajitas nachos was loaded with her slices of tomatoes (not diced) and not much steak.
We were with close to 20 people, they gave us a room to ourselves and the service was awesome and if I rated this in service alone they would have gotten 5 stars. Food was good but not exceptional, hence the 4 star rating.
Great people. Amazing experience and a lovely atmosphere. Very good salsa picosa.
Excellent Mexican food restaurant.
I love that El Ranchero came to our side of town! The staff is always friendly and super accommodating and the food is always delicious. They make a mean margarita, too. El Ranchero is a great dinner option, a good place for families and for a getting together for drinks. Highly recommended!
When I walked into the place some poor little boy was crying because he puked all over the floor across from the hostess stand as he was walking out with his family. That should’ve made me run the other way but I stayed and ate and regret doing so. The margarita was terrible and the chicken quesadilla was even worse. There was barely any meat in it, all I tasted was cheese. Very disappointed wIth this place and will stick to the El Ranchero on Dual Highway because their food is much better at that location.
This place is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants! I have ordered many things that were alm amazing but my favorite entree is the carnitas! Great decor and great service!
Delicious food, great service, clean, festive atmosphere. One of our favorites.
Just placed an order for take-out. Everything was correct in ours and it was ready extremely fast. Food was alright. If you are ordering for take-out I would suggest asking for extra chips (with 4 adult dinners, & 2 kids meals we only got one bag). Overall not a bad experience at all.
Good food good service.
Always love going here especially for family night! Definitely recommend
Much better experience than with our large group right after they opened! Food came out fast, great service & tasty. Menu had lots of options, including non-Mexican items. Glad we went back
Good portions for a reasonable price, good food, clean and friendly.
We always have really good food. Love it
Pretty typical Mexican food, which gets it a 4. Nothing really stands out but it's also pretty good, awesome queso too!
Really great food and nice prices. Staff all very friendly and loved rhe Mariachi Band too.
Just stopped in for a beer. Service was prompt and tentative even with only having a drink. They provided Chips and salsa at no charge. I like Mexican food, so I've eaten there in the past and found the food to be tasty.
This restaurant is the bomb. Great and tasty food, amazingly fast service, and unique and interesting decor. Been here twice in the last month and can't recommend it more. Portions are huge and could easily be shared, well worth the money.
Great grub, but it's hit n miss on quality
Perfect for any diet and taste buds. Dont drink but those did seem high. Got chicken fajitas with corn tortillas and no cheese,so fit my dairy and gluten-free lifestyle. Very tasty. Excellent chips and salsa. Fajitas full of veggies with great plate of sides.
I LOVE this restaurant!
Best Mexican in Bloomington!
There are very tasty meals and a colorful inside design. You strongly feel eating in the mexican restaurant.
Good food nice place
