Really lively and fun ambiance ! A few friends and I went on a Friday night and there was a great energy - there even was a full mariachi band performing around the restaurant, it was amazing! The service was friendly and efficient, our food came out promptly! The menu has a wide variety of dishes to offer and I don't think you can go wrong with any! This is a great spot to go to with friends for a fun night!

El Rancho Tapatio is one of my families go to Mexican restaurants! The restaurant is much larger than it looks from outside as they have expanded in to the strip of shops over the years! We've never received a bad meal or service. The food is authentic and fresh with tons of affordable options on the menu! They are sure to have something for even the pickiest eaters! It's nothing fancy by any means but it's consistently good food and a clean atmosphere!

El Rancho Tapetio never disappoints. We went for a pre Cinco de Mayo lunch. The Tacos Dorado, their version of Birria Tacos, were delicious. The tacos were stuffed with meat, and I could only eat two. Leftovers tomorrow. 44

I arrived mid-afternoon having skipped lunch, and was surprised by the number of people there. Someone was slowly working on a meal while attending a zoom class, but there were several other small groups. Needing a quick fix, this would be a good choice, as my veggie combo appeared in less than ten minutes, and the tortilla chips (which tasted fresh) before I'd even ordered. They had a decent vegetarian menu (though very heavy on the dairy, if you are someone who is trying to avoid that). My combo yielded a small enchilada; frankly I was confused because it had beans inside and not the avocado the menu promised, but there was nothing wrong with it. A substantial cheese and pepper pie and sides of rice and beans, again with cheese on top, completed a very filling combo. And the chips were included. It wasn't some kind of delicate nuanced flavor with a squash blossom on top, but it was satisfying and a large portion size when you count the chips. They seem to have an affiliated restaurant downtown (judging by the similar vegetarian menu), and while I may try that one, I figure this one gave me pretty much what I asked of it.
