Went to this location on a Monday night, more than an hour until close. Open sign still on, DoorDash orders still being picked up, but between pulling into the parking lot and 10 minutes later tables and chairs were already stacked. We came in and were refused service, they even turned off the open sign to my suggestion. 0/10 read more

El Ranchero - New American Near Me - Broadway, Virginia

Stopped by 3:00 on a Sunday. Party of five sat right away. We were the only ones there:-) service was prompt. Food was nicely presented, tasted great and portions were huge. We had a El Ranchero burrito with steak, a steak fajita, a couple of #4 burrito/ taco from lunch menu, and a super nice bowl - lettuce, tomato, rice, black beans, and steak. Everyone clean their plates. read more

This is my regular "go-to" stop in northern Rockingham county. If you enjoy standard Mexican fare, this is your place. Service is fast, friendly and accommodating. It does tend to get busy during "regular" meal times 12:00 noon and 5:00-6:00 PM, but they hustle to get your food fast. The food is always fresh and delicious. You must try the Texas Fries. It's a great appetizer for the table or a meal itself!! There are drink specials different days of the week. read more

This is the best Mexican food we have had. The rice was firm but not hard. The chips crisp. The salsa super yummy. My plate was delicious with the Steak Fajita's I ordered. My husband had the shrimp and onions. He said it was the best he had ever had. The service was epic. If you want delicious tea. This is your place. Thanks to everyone there that helped our vacation be a memorable one. read more

Fast good food for a reasonable price. The food was hot and good quality. The service was fast, friendly, and overall amazing!

I was craving Mexican food so finally last week I satisfied that craving. I live less than ten minutes away and most of my coworkers recommended this place so I tried it. The food was not very good. The chips and taco tasted as if they were previously chilled and reheated but didn't get warm all the way through. The enchiladas were bland and they only serve beef ones. The server was very nice and she was great at keeping my drink refilled. This place is cheap which combined with the great server is why it gets three stars instead of one. read more

Super excited to see more restaurants popping up in a Broadway, VA. My boyfriend mentioned there has been a lot of talk about this new restaurant...and the parking lot was packed! Upon Walking in I was greeted by Mexican music and decor...and great smells of promising plates. I have to say the food is not awful, far from it. But I don't think they were adequately prepared for such a strong, highly attended opening. It seems as though they were shortstaffed often times I saw servers literally running through the restaurant, lines for takeout orders and for paying for your order were long just a little bit of an inconvenience. They do not have their liquor license yet so no margaritas to go with your tacos, I asked for horchata and they were also out of that. Little customer service right now since they are spread so thin. They have another location in Harrisonburg, VA. The menu was extensive with plenty of vegetarian, meat, seafood, and kid menu options. Prices were super favorable. I enjoyed my shrimp quesadilla but I'm not sure he type of cheese they use. It didn't taste super high quality and melted weird. The shrimp were larger than expected and seemed fresh and seasoned and grilled to perfection. My boyfriend got the Nachos Tejanas and it was satisfying. Best of luck to the owners since they are recently open! If they improve they small things they can really shine. Otherwise, lines are packed to try El Ranchero anyway! read more

Food is really good and service was great. I got the Burrito Ranchero and was delicious

This was a good local business we stopped at while staying nearby in the mountains. We ordered the bean nachos, and fajitas each. The bean nachos in my opinion were not something I would order again, nothing was wrong with them exactly, they wouldn't be my preference for an appetizer to splurge on on a night out. It is just what it sounds like, refried beans on corn chips. On the other hand the fajitas were great and you got huge portions of the peppers, onions and meat. I would definitely recommend a stop at el ranchero when you come through broadway. read more

Great food -- reasonable prices ~~ really enjoyed the Chimichanga platter ~~ service was good.

I love this place . I come here a few times a week for lunch and I've really enjoyed everything I've tried . I specially recommend the queso with chorizo and any of the enchiladas . The prices are really reasonable as well read more

I'm not sure I've ever been disappointed in a seafood fajita dinner, to be fair, so maybe I just have low standards, but I was delighted. Delicious, filling, reasonably priced. Plus, a charmingly extremely-blue margarita. read more

Local Mexican spots always hit, and this one's no different. The amount of meat that came with my fajitas was insane!! read more

El Ranchero - Fajitas Senora - New American Near Me - Broadway, Virginia

Amazing food and friendly staff!! I highly recommend this restaurant. Great drink and food specials too!

I got the burrito fajita, no peppers, with beef and side of refried beans. The beef was seasoned very well, it wasn't overcooked, but was a little sweeter than I would prefer. The cheese sauce was great, could've used a little more spice. I enjoyed the salsa, I could've had a little less cilantro and been happier with that. The service was great! I was greeted as soon as I was in the door and they were very polite! I will definitely be going back! read more
