Disclaimer -- only one visit…read more Wasn't sure what to expect at Los Ranchos, given the mixed previous reviews, but I'd say that overall, we were pleasantly surprised. Chips and salsa were sufficient. My beef tostadas were quite good, with flavorful meat, crispy tortillas, and better-than-average guacamole. Quesadillas were also good, though not particularly exciting. Good service (we were there at a non-busy time). Haven't yet had better Mexican food in the Madisonville area.

It was a very nice evening. They did have fans and TV's outside so a big plus. I got the Mexican martini which was very good and my friend got the pineapple margarita.... Which was even better. I decided to get the special which was brisket tacos, rice, and some kind of cheese corn which was out of this world. The brisket was tender and had very good flavor. I just wish that they could have had cheese, sour cream, and guac for it. My son got the fajitas which he said were way better than any fajitas he had eaten yet in Madisonville. He is on be a low carb diet so he just brought his own tortillas and he had a great meal. My friend got the enchiladas which she said were pretty average for Tex mex. Overall it was great. We will be going back!

I was the only speck of pepper in a room full of salt. With all eyes on me, I gave a wave, some folks smiled back and understood what i was doing others weren't quite sure what to make of it. The vibe is old-school texas dining. It was mofos in there with actual spurs on their boots. Clean, no-frills, and straightforward. Concrete floors, a mix of mismatched chairs in earth tones with the occasional pop of red. You seat yourself, and service is quick. my server showed up almost immediately with a laminated 8.5x11 menu featuring a tight lineup of Americana comfort food. I went with the chicken fried steak, with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes on the side. The Brussels sprouts were split and grilled, simply done with a bit of butter and salt--nothing fancy, but solid. The mashed potatoes? A perfect base for the white gravy, which was the standout on the plate. The chicken fried steak itself had well-seasoned breading, but I wish the meat had been more tender. That said, the gravy was so good it honestly deserves to be bottled and sold at H-E-B. Because when you have already committed to overeating why stop, i tried the peach cobbler dessert. I should have stopped, this was terrible, it looked like someone dumped a can of peaches in syrup over raw dough...it tasted just the same. Such a let down with everything else being at the very least good.

One of my favorite parts was honestly the homemade chips and the salsa- the salsa has a little kick to it but it's the perfect amount. My husband had the carne guisada and enjoyed it- the kids had the cheese enchiladas and devoured it- they devoured the queso too- queso was commented on as the best queso- it was decent, nothing special to me as a huge queso lover. It's simply a melted jalepeno cheese they get and the bowl cost around $11. I got one of the dinner meals, i'm forgetting the name- it was plenty big- the chicken enchilada was the best part so probably would just get that next time. Excellent customer service- the owner is so sweet! bummed they ran out of their coconut pies or we totally would have tried that!
