    My favorite spot to eat when I come into town. I don't come very often, but the meals here always reminds me of my late grandmother. One weeks stay = at least 3 visits. The waitresses are very polite and keeps us tended too.

    I'd rather starve to death than eat these arrogant nasty ass ppl food. If you complaine about the food some Lady who can't correctly communicate in English or Spanish will just tell you it's your fault cause you ordered their nasty ass food and I guess she has a point.

    This place is where my mother and father in laws are from and we met them there one day to eat. We all now live in Grand Rapids Michigan and it took us a hour and a half to two hours to get there well this is my fourth time going here and it is absolutely worth the trip the food is authentic no I mean really authentic a lot of restaurants in Grand Rapids claim to have authentic food but taste like it came out of a can. This place is incredible I wish it was one here in town I would go there two or three times a week and before I go the service is excellent and very friendly to all people

    I eat here frequently and have never left disappointed.  The service is always friendly and quick.  I try to order different things on the menu and have found that whether it is a sandwich or tamales the food is consistently good.  For the cost of a meal at El Ranchero you get the typical chips and salsa, a cup of soup, and your entree.  The amount of food is almost enough for two meals.  Along with what I've written, there are many more reasons that keep me going back, but you need to experience it for yourself.

    Authentic Mexican food.  The food is served hot and fresh. The food is good quality, good freshness, tasty food, and great service. I had a burrito Swiss dinner and it was delicious.
