This is my favorite place in Quincy , the staff are friendly and the food comes out so quickly. I always get the chori pollo it's sooooo good ! read more

This restaurant is very cheap but the food matches the quality of what you pay. It's super greasy and under seasoned. The portions are big but I wouldn't want to eat lots more than a couple bites. The service is fast because the food isn't extremely simple and cooked in batches. There is plenty of seating but is generally pretty loud. read more

Great food and great service with a beautiful atmosphere! Very large restaurant! Highly recommend!

Great Mexican food in a small town! The chips are delicious and crunchy with a nice salsa this is enjoyable and not spicy. The steak fajita plate was much, much more food than I was prepared for! The steak was well seasoned and the veggies had the perfect amount of 'char' on them for delicious flavor. Will definitely com back to try some other items! read more

El Rancherito - Steak fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Quincy, Illinois

On September 20, 2022 at about 5 PM, three of us had dinner at El Rancherito Mexican restaurant. All of our meals were terrible. We did not eat two of the meals, they were extremely dry and had absolutely no taste, very bland. The chicken taco salad was made with dark meat, which is unheard of these days. White chicken meat is the only way to go not dark meat. The salsa sauce was OK and the chips were also OK. We had a waiter who did not understand English and was not courteous courteous enough to know to ask someone to come to our table to interpret. We asked him repeatedly if the chicken they used in the taco salad was white meat he had absolutely no idea what we were talking about, hopeless. We have definitely put this on our list of places never to repeat. Do not recommend this place even though it is extremely popular, hard to understand why. read more

Love Mexican food from here, the Shredded Chicken Nachos are to die for. Always enjoyed eating here, nice place with room for family and friends. Service is excellent. Will definitely go again and again. read more

We were a party of 6 and arrived on a busy Friday evening. We were seated almost immediately which was a bonus as it appeared we got there just ahead of the dinner rush. The margarita's were tasty, but slightly overpriced based on other locations specials. Food was decent but not outstanding by any means. The reason for the four stars was not the food quality, but the lack of service at our table. Nothing lowers the tip faster than a drink, regardless of water of adult beverage, sitting empty on the table for most of the meal. Alcoholic beverages have a huge markup in restaurants and they should, from a profit stance, should never go dry unless at the customers request. At about $3 for a glass of tea, although refills were free, again the glass should never be empty. The location was nice, atmosphere was vibrant, and the noise level was not so much where you had to shout to your friends on the other side of the table. I would recommend this location but I would caution service may be under par. read more

Was at a business lunch/dinner. Great service and the food was delicious. Very clean inside

El Rancherito is my favorite Mexican place to get a margarita. They're delicious here. Also, it's a huge restaurant so very rarely do you have to wait here. Always good fast service and food. read more

A lot more to be desired food wise. The service was ok. Food wasn't very good though.

best "american mexican" restaurant in quincy. if you are looking for delicious food, great service and worth your money margaritas this is it! if you're looking for authentic mexican cusine, unfortunately despite the other amazing qualities at el ranch- authentic mexican food is not on their menu. there are MANY options and variations but, it doesn't compare to the authenticity others offer. fried ice cream, margs, freshly warm chips, salsa and queso. 10/10 been my go to for almost 20 years read more

The best Mexican restaurant in Franklin County. Been going to this place since they opened. The chili rellenos are the absolute best I've had anywhere. Great food, great staff. read more

When we arrived, the lobby was full of people waiting, but we only waited 10 min and were waited on immediately. It takes longer to decide what to eat due to their huge menu. Amazing food and great service! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent vegetarian options. I suggest the veg fajitas with broccoli, zucchini, peppers, and onions. Large space. Plenty of booth options.

Good food, fast service and always packed. Chimichangas are good, it's all good! They also offer outdoor seating now.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. They have great chips. The salsa was a little bland, like puréed tomatoes with a little spice. I ordered the jumbo gold margarita that was awesome. I ordered the shrimp fajita quesadilla and I received a shrimp quesadilla with no onions or pepper, but it was still delicious. I will be back. read more

Just damn good Mexican. And like every other Mexican restaurant, you don't buy the food, you rent it. Half hour tops.

Delicious food anything you order is delicious??talking about their mix drinks. They are just to die for. Party with me every Friday night! Margaritas all night long read more

Tried this place for the first time (visiting from out of state). On the outside, the building doesn't have a nice appearance. Inside looked nicer with the decorations. Music and kind staff. Immediately greeted with chips and salsa. Quality was alright. One person in my party ordered a kids taco, which came with rice and beans. Another ordered a dry (on outside) burrito with only beans, rice, and pico. I ordered a burrito with all those things, cheese, and avocado. Food was prepared in a timely manner. When the food came, I was surprised that salsa was poured over it. I did not ask for a burrito Mojado. I kept it because they would've dumped it anyway. It was missing the pico. The other person who had a burrito was given it with rice and beans on the side. She turned it down and asked the server to bring it back. Also she asked for no meat, but they put meat inside. She said multiple times in spanish and English she doesn't want a wet burrito. When they returned the food a 2nd time, it had Salsa on top. She sent it back to the kitchen. The 3rd time, they gave her what she asked. The server disappeared then after and did not ask how we were doing. Somewhat disappointed since this place had a high star rating. We left no tip when we paid. FYI they charge a 3% processing fee when you pay with card. read more

I like to come here every time I'm in town. Very authentic food. Carne asada tacos are great. I highly recommend mixing them with chorizo (Mexican sausage). Refried beans are awesome and the spicy salsa tastes really good. Try a margarita if you can. Probably the best Mexican food in Quincy read more

El ranch is my favorite Mexican place in the world. For as much food as you get it's cheap and it's fast if you are in a hurry but want a real meal. The waiters are always nice and make sure you have everything and if you don't you just ask them and theyll get right on it. Personally I am a huge fan of the fajitas and the fajita nachos ( it's huge & delicious). Would totally recommend!!!! - sincerely, a Mexican food enthusiast read more

5 for food. 1 for service! This was the only spot in Quincy that truly caught my eye. They make some seriously good food. I had the carne asada taco, cilantro and onion style, with an addition of sour cream and avocado. I was pleasantly surprised that I got my piece of happiness on a hard shell. IT WAS DELISH. They offer a lot of combos (almost too many.. it's hard for the eye to read down the menu), but is nice since it offers a variety if you can't decide what you'd like. With my taco, I got two chicken enchiladas. ALSO the bomb dot com. For the price, this all really couldn't be beat. It was so good, in fact, that i had to come back the next day, and do another re-order for the same meal (our leftovers were forgotten in a friend's fridge the night before). On the second go around, the food was still top-notch. Other things at our table: the Paella. not your typical, but omg i could have eaten this all day and night, and been happy. Mango margarita: pretty good, but how can you mess up mango! served in a beat-up, plastic soda pitcher, which seemed pretty cheap. we had it on the rocks, and i personally prefer it frozen. meh. Interior: leaning towards authentic, with a colorful vibe. painted chairs. murals of mexican american nostalgia. Service: horrific. the first trip, we came here during a weeknight, about 8:45. Our server was mean, and when we called him over, he immediately shook his hands and said, "NO! NO more food! You can't order more!" ...... i only wanted a cup of sour cream. He retrieved, but looked hasty. It's like he was only nice for only as long as he had to be. He also was very rude about paying our check, and rushing us out. We were only a group of 4. Not rambunctious. This was so unnecessary. The next day, I called an order ahead of time. I actually can speak a decent amount of Spanish. I asked the person on the telephone, who said english was okay... but when we came to pick up our order, my ENTIRE order was botched! This made me so mad, since i ended up staying an extra 30 minutes for the waiters to correct the order.... just to fire up 2 more tacos. This was absurd. Honestly, I do love the food, but I'd be careful when ordering. Not the nicest, or the sharpest servers. read more

Usually pretty good, sometimes not depends on the time of day when you order and all.

Everything at this place is amazing! The owners, workers, and food. Everything is great! I highly recommend the cheese dip, it's authentic.

I had chori polo. The chicken was tough and the plate in general was very greasy. Lastly, the margarita was too sweet.

I love their cheesy rice it is amazing. 10/10 definitely recommend going to El Rancherito

Best Mexican food in Quincy. If the salsa was as good as Maya's, I wouldn't hardly eat anywhere else. Inexpensive, quick service, good portions. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in quincy. The food is great and cheap. The service is quick. My favorite thing to order is nachos with beef but occasionally I'll switch it up. The burrito special is my least favorite but it's still good. The fajitas and chimichanga are really good too. The fried ice cream is amazing, love it. I'll keep going to el ranch and recommend it to anyone and everyone. read more

Tremendous service. Great food. Super fast and good quality (a rare combination) Nice pricing. If there was anything to complain about, I'd like to have more room to walk around and stretch out...too many tables in there. Otherwise its my favorite restaurant in Quincy, IL read more

I really love this restaurant. The food is always good and the service is always fast and friendly.

I think this place is good- but nothing specifically I was blown away. I had the Fajita Nachos with chicken. The chicken was delicious- as was the gravy that was poured throughout. It's a strange way to make fajitas/nachos, and I'm sure the gravy has added to the popularity of this dish- in addition to adding to the calories. The salsa served with the chips was definitely missing something- cilantro? chile? pepper? Actually, a little cilantro on the Fajita Nachos would have helped gain my favor now that I think about it. Overall, not bad- not great. Check it out and judge for yourself. read more

The best Mexican in Quincy. It does not have an identity crisis and try to serve pizza. Just Mexican. Hard to miss a decent plate of food.

This is absolutely the best Mexican food I've ever had. I crave it daily. Always fast and consistent. Love love love!

Very good food, and service too. Wide variety of selections, and prepared fresh.

This is my favorite restaurant in quincy, illinois! My family and I have been going here for years and love it! The food is great!!!! They are soooo fast. Your food comes out in under 10 minutes every time! They have done a great job providing curbside delivery, online menus, and even a new outdoor seating option due to covid-19! Would highly recommend to anyone in the quincy area. read more

I love el rancherito I could probably eat noth in ng but their cheese sauce for the rest of life and be soooooo happy they service is great. Fajita nachos are amazing huge portions that make for a great midnight snack! read more

Atmosphere- good, Salsa-lacked cilantro and other seasonings, Enchilada-red sauce was just sweet tomato sauce but meat inside nicely seasoned, Requested Hotter Salsa- very good, fresh, lots of spices and roasted flavor, Chile Relleno - very good, pepper very fresh and flavorful plus the cheese sauce was just right. Chimichangas- chicken one nicely seasoned but a bit dry as chicken tends to be, however the beef chunks were tender lean and nice seasonings with onion, peppers and fresh tomatoes. We both really liked the beans and rice. read more

As someone from Texas, moving to a small are (Quincy), I never thought I'd enjoy any Mexican restaurant here. I'm so happy to have found El Rancherito, and I absolutely love it! There queso is honestly to die for. They provide great customer service as well! A few weeks after my surgery when I finally got an appetite this is the first place I wanted to go! I wasn't supposed to move around much let alone drive and the wonderful woman up front brought my food out to my car no problem, she was very understanding. 5 read more

Tons of seating. Food is very good and the margaritas are plenty big. If it is your birthday they give you a tequila shot!
