Upon arriving home, the grilled meat was delicious and plentiful. There was enough for left overs as the meat was folded in half in the tin. I chose the sides of frijoles (beans) and maduros (sweet plantain). I am a fan of a hint of spice and it should be noted the beans were seasoned with a hint of spiciness. I am looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

I got steak fajitas on this particular visit and it did not disappoint. The meat was not fatty, very flavorful, and tasted great with all the toppings. Be aware if you do not like pets in restaurants, they considered the front inside portion of the restaurant to include the bar as part of the outside and acceptable. Only the back portion of the restaurant is pet free. I may people upset but I will continue to say it - I am a dog and pet lover, but they do not belong in restaurants!

Not fluent in English, but very friendly service. They have an extensive menu! They give complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is a sweet tomato-y salsa and the chips are crisp. The Chimichanga with Cecina (Salted Beef) was stuffed! Crisp fried exterior, covered in flavorful red (tomato-y) and green (herb-y) sauces. The cecina is perfectly salted. I enjoyed the guac and chips (same as the complimentary chips) and pico on the side added freshness. They also have a house red and green sauce, which have a good kick and flavor to them. The Pineapple Juice is the right amount of sweetness and tart. I like that there's no ice so it's a full glass of juice! Overall a neat local spot to hit up for good food and friendly service (and a full bar!).

Mexican (and Tex-Mex) isn't an option that Queens lacks, but about a year ago the Chilaquiles on…read morethe menu put El Ranchero on my radar. Surprisingly, it is a dish that is hard to find in the Flushing/Fresh Meadows area especially in a sit down, comfortable restaurant. The Chilaquiles was a nice little plate of deliciousness - I loved the tangy green salsa soaked bed of tortilla with nicely fried over easy eggs (they way I ordered it). A fan of avocado, tomato and onions top the dish as well - it comes with a side of rice and beans. I recently returned when I was in the mood for enchiladas - they have combo option with beef, chicken and cheese. I ordered them divorced style with both red and green salsa. It comes blanketed with a shredded lettuce salad with tomato, onions and avocado. Rice and beans round out the dish. A couple of other dishes I tasted were the eggs with chorizo and the chimichanga - both were very good. I love their house salsas both a dark red and green one. They bring out tortilla chips with a thick salsa that is tomato-ey sweet. They have a full bar if you are so inclined and the service is very good here.

After having dinner, my friend and I were walking around when we came across "Ruta Oaxaca Mexican…read moreCuisine." Ironically, earlier while trying to decide where to go for dinner, I had sent this restaurant to my friend but we ended up going somewhere else and came here for drinks afterward. The drinks were really good! We tried the "Sexy Oaxaca," which consists of 7 Misterios Doba-Yej Mezcal, Cointreau, grilled pineapple, mint agave, fresh lemon, and warm salt. This drink takes your taste buds on a ride. It starts off light and refreshing with the mezcal throughout, then finishes with a smoky effect from the pineapple since it's lit. It was really good!! I also tried the "VIP Old Fashion," made with Patrón Extra Añejo, Nixta corn liqueur, Angostura, and orange bitters. This was also good and was smoked prior to being served, giving it a smoky aftertaste. It's definitely a drink you sip slowly. Although we arrived about an hour and a half before closing, the waiter was very polite and professional. They also didn't rush us out once it was closing time, which I appreciated. There were other customers still there enjoying themselves as well. I will definitely be back for dinner. I'm very curious to see what the food is like. I really enjoyed the drinks.

Nothing bad, but I felt like it could've been a bit better overall. The food was good though, I ordered the mixtos tacos, which let's you pick three different tacos from the menu. It was around $23, which is a little pricey. But the tacos were a decent size and definitely filling. My favorite thing I tried was the chori queso. I never had it before and it was honestly the standout dish for me. I would order that again. I also tried the enquites which is street corn. It had a bit of a burnt taste. I know some people enjoy that smokey flavor, but it really wasn't for me. Overall, it was a nice time and for some of the dishes too.

We then got an order of the lengua and pastor tacos and shared. Both were delicious but I think I liked the lengua more. Really great spot!

My maracuya margarita was good and nicely presented but not worth $20. We ended up sitting outside since we had the dog which is nice that they allow pets as long as it's outside. We ordered tacos but they were literally bite sized and super pricey. They were good but not worth the price. They charge more for presentation and location rather than flavor. Won't be coming back.

Large space with plenty of seats and always nicely decorated. The bar area was full today for happy hour. This visit I finally made it here for happy hour (Happy hour is weekdays until 7 pm at the bar). The website is constantly updated to show the specials each day (happy hour, taco Tuesday, etc.) I went with a classic margarita with a tajin rim, the happy hour tostada and the happy hour tacos (2 per order, can't mix and match.) Everything was delicious and a good portion. The baja fish tacos were a bit heavy for me, and the batter may have been too well done (maybe the fryer oil was too hot?) , so I removed some of the batter as I ate it. Still tasty and satisfying but I prefer the shrimp tacos that I've had in the past.

This is Mexican food with a twist. There is all your favorites here and then some. After the New York Times paid a visit here a few months back, the reputation of this little restaurant in Sunnyside takes on a new meaning to flavor. I got three items, all of which had varying degrees of success. The main item I wanted to try was their famed Fried Chicken Cemita, or a Mexican sandwich layered with just about everything the kitchen sink throws at you. Considering I live where Doña Zita roams as the king of the Cemita, this has big shoes to fill. After taking a bite, and making one big mess, I knew I made the right choice. So much flavor and texture going on that I could not figure out how to attack the next few bites. My only criticism is that it is a little on the small side, and I was still hungry after eating one. I had to order something else. That is when I went full San Diego on this restaurant and got a fish and a shrimp taco. The fish taco is great but you cannot eat the fish with the taco. Otherwise it falls apart. The other flavors are there but it should be as one happy family, not two separate entities. That is how I felt eating this. Unfortunately you order individually with these it can get pricey quickly. The shrimp taco has the same criticisms. Like the fish tacos, these are also ordered individually. I like that the shrimp is succulent and there are three large shrimp in the taco, but this is a taco, not a Po Boy. I should not have shrimp spilling out the shell for me to pick later. It should be one harmonious flavor packed into a shell. I did not get that here. San Diego, you are safe for now as having the best fish tacos. In another review, I mentioned that New York is not known for Mexican food. A good one is a big fish in a little pond. I will be back here to try more food items here, as my selection for good Mexican food in New York is pretty limited. As long as I do not end up in one of the nearby cemeteries first.
