I came here specifically for their breakfast burritos. I'm on a hunt to find the best Lubbock has to offer. Average burritos with what tasted like a store bought tortilla. They provided a plentiful amount of food for 2.75 each. We tried the bacon/egg and the chorizo/egg. One burrito would've been a perfect serving size. Disclaimer that my review cannot be a reference for the rest of their food. Workers were friendly, burritos came out nice and hot! Just nothing special. read more

See all

Nice little place. I would say the breakfast burrito is more the size of a big taco. I ordered 3 and that was just the right amount. Friendly spot to locals, the servers didn't talk much. I believe it's family ran. Go visit when in town read more

We were in town for a graduation and wanted a quick taco, wife and I both had a carne guisada and egg burrito and they were a solid 10. Hot sauce is excellent too. Place is to go only. The lady that takes your order wasn't too friendly but didn't matter the food was great! read more

Oh my gosh! Where are all these good reviews coming from? This place uses store-bought tortillas, and their burritos are three bucks for something no larger than what Stripes sells. Are you freaking kidding me? What a complete waste of money. I'm from Houston, and people down there know how to make a breakfast taco. These are no more burritos than what McDonald's sells. Super super disappointed. read more

El Ranchito Burrito - These things are tiny, and they're three bucks. Total rip-off. - Mexican Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Truthfully one of the worst burritos i've ever had. Meat tasted reheated & stale. Tortilla was overheated so every bite the tortilla turned into crumbles. I ended up paying $10+ for this "meal" that came with stale chips and an incorrect drink. Won't be returning. read more

If you look back you can see that I used to love this place. So, I give this review with a heavy heart.... I will not be going back. I paid 6.05 for a burrito that is the size of taquito. The service has horrible and my coke is flat. read more

Best customer service, very friendly. Hole in the wall place with some of the best burritos in lubbock.

This is by far the best place in town for breakfast burritos. The staff is super friendly and the food is always hot and fresh. Not to mention the salsa is the best I've had at ANY restaurant. Ever. Period. Don't be discouraged by the look of the place. The food does not match the aesthetic. I would steer clear of the queso as it's the only thing I've gotten that didn't taste homemade and delicious. I go here at least once a week for my fix and never leave disappointed or hungry. read more

Poor overall qualit I eat Mexican food like it's my job, and this place is some of the worst I have Ever had. The enchiladas, rice, and beans were all far below average. Even the chips and salsa were lacking. Typically a place will excel at one of these, but to fail in all is worth mentioning. My wife and I both had Poor food, and the servers seemed disinterested in taking care of us when our drinks were empty, and never asked how our food was. The Hispanic lady sitting next to us approached the counter to have her food re-made as her burrito was not edible for some reason. We could see the food being prepped from crock pots, and heard the microwave door along with the "ding" several times while we were dining. Not a quality operation. read more

Small place with a few booths and a few tables. The breakfast burritos are okay. I haven't had one that I have not cared for. The downside is how skimpy the burritos actually are. I can eat 3 (always adding beans for a filler-upper) and I'm still hungry. If you're looking for a burrito that'll fill you, this place isn't it, but they are decent tasting. read more

Quick drive thru with great prices. I ordered their migas plate and it was very good! Their salsa was also amazing. A little oniony tasting but it really hit the spot! They had no problem subbing flour tortillas for corn. Very friendly and great place that has been in Lubbock for years. read more

Okay, listen. Here's what you're going to do. You're going to get off yelp, and call So Ranchito right this second to order one of their chorizo and egg breakfast burritos. I literally eat here at least once a week, and I have yet to be disappointed. Their burritos are a pretty good size, so I usually only need one. Their salsa is seriously the tits. I typically order chips as well simply because I love their salsa so much and I am from west Texas. So I mean, salsa runs through my veins. They have specials during the week I believe and the people who work there are SO NICE. I'm so glad I only live a couple of blocks away. read more

The service is terrible my wife and I got our food after waiting 30min and by the time we got home we realized that they didn't give us our two orders of beans and rice. So we end up going back to get them and they were being very rude and refused to give them to us because they (put it in the bag and wouldn't forget it) which they obviously forgot it or we wouldn't of gone back to get it. Definitely would not recommend with the terrible customer service! read more

I went to three different places today doing a Breakfast Burrito review. El Ranchito was by far the worst. I would not consider coming back to El Ranchito Burrito. Price was too high, worst burrito, and we had to wait here the longest. read more

Great place, burritos and salsa are amazing. Owner is very nice and takes care of customers

El Ranchito is my favorite hole in the wall Restaurant in Lubbock. Though small, it is very affordable emanates a genuine vibe. If you eat in, the chips and salsa are on the house. If you take it to go, you'll have to pay for it. The only thing that could elevate this to a 5 star rating would be the presence of a hand washing station or a public restroom in the building. I'm particular about my hands smelling like food (even if it's amazing) and always wish there was a place to wash. read more

I'm a Texas transplant living in TN, and I'm always on the lookout for good Mexican food. The breakfast burritos did not disappoint. read more

El Ranchito Burrito - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

The owner of this restaurant is one of the rudest people i have ever came across i have gone there three times first time i thought she might just be having a bad day but i guess she is always having a bad day, the rest of the staff are friendly but we won't go back because of her maybe she should stay home and let her staff run the place read more

El Ranchito is where dreams are fulfilled, where puppies come to see something cute, and where Mexican-food snobs come for the best food. Mary and Delores make the dining experience amazing, after a few visits they will know you by name and your usual order. The food is extremely reasonably priced and delicious! I highly recommend the carne guisada burrito add potatoes. read more

This was my first time stopping by for a breakfast burrito. The place I normally go to that is down the street was closed. I thought I would try out this place. I was very disappointed and will probably never go back. I ordered their breakfast special 2 item burrito, small bag of chips & 32 oz drink for $6.50. The egg was burned and very dry the bacon was also burned to the crisp and was in little pieces. The chips were very salty and the coke was so sweet they probably needed to change it out. I didn't realize any of this until I got to work to eat it. I was hungry so I had no choice but to eat it. Not so very good hole in the wall place to eat at least not for breakfast. read more

Oh hells yea! This is my new spot! Friendly service, reasonable price, good food. This is the carne guisada I have been dreaming of but could never find. I'm in love... Only 4 stars? Yeah. The parking kinda sucks because this place is poppin. read more

Love love love El Ranchito Burrito! The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. The chips and salsa are awesome. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. This hole in the wall is a Lubbock hidden gem. read more

El Ranchito is one of my favorite places to go on a lazy Saturday where I didn't wake up until 9 or 10 and decided to forgo breakfast and have lunch at 11. Specific, I know. But it's a common occurrence for me. :) The chips and salsa are great (even if the chips aren't homemade as another review mentions). The main attraction here has got to be the chile relleno burrito. Yes. You read right. A chile relleno inside a burrito. It is the best cardiac arrest I have ever inhaled. On days when I prefer something a little less abrasively delicious I go for a cheese enchilada plate which is delicious as well. Rice and beans leave nothing to be desired. They are the bomb. Try the chile relleno burrito. Even if it sounds gross now. Just do it. You might regret it but I stand by my recommendation nonetheless. read more

Breakfast burritos were a good value and tasted really good. Salsa had a nice lil kick to it. I'll be back to this place.

I have been coming to El Ranchito since I was in high school. I choose El Ranchito for my breakfast because it's one of the most authentic burritos in town they know my order by heart whenever I call-in and I'm never dissatisfied! Keep making those burritos with love!!! -Emily read more

El Ranchito Burrito - Patiently waiting. - Mexican Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I had a brisket potato bean and cheese burrito this morning and it wasn't that the food wasn't good it just wasn't great. There was nothing special about it and the salsa wasn't the "best salsa of my life" either it was more tomato than anything else. I would be willing to try this place again but based off my first experience it was just ok. read more

I've been in enough Mexican food restaurants to recognize what has come off of a truck. This place is home cooking. The rice was authentic and the beans were CORRECT! And btw the enchiladas were top shelf. Great lunch specials!! I'll be back!! read more

The breakfast burritos are delicious! They are an interesting size, sort of between a taco and a burrito but very generously portioned and such a great price! Whomever said they were tiny and expensive clearly has no concept of how much things really cost. The staff was friendly and attentive and the salsa was great. Definitely would go back! read more

I come here every Saturday after working out. They have the best burritos and super amazing salsa. If you want to treat your taste buds, be sure to get a side of potatoes! read more

Absolutely awesome food! I love their breakfast burritos. The place is immaculate. Love this place!

Definitely not the best, mission tortillas are out rated. Service was the worst; very unprofessional. Ladies were discussing illegal activity that took place over the weekend while serving drive thru for the whole restaurant to hear. Servers never came to check on us while dining to see if anything was needed. Ladies were yelling instructions across the restaurant and seemed very disorganized. Restaurant did not have restrooms available to the public. Food was not the greatest. read more

Today was my first time here. I ordered a sausage, egg, potato, and cheese burrito. Very delicious. The people were very friendly and courtesy. I will be back. read more

My favorite place to grab lunch!!! The lunch special is a burrito, a small bad of chips, 2 hot sauces and a 32 oz. Drink for $5.95! I love all the food but my favorite burrito is the Ranchurrito burrito if you like peppers and onions you will love this too! The staff is super friendly and the food always taste fresh! read more

Carne guisada is good & hot sauce but the fake tortillas take away from the full flavor & authenticity. Chips are not homemade FYI. Decent prices & friendly service otherwise. read more

Absolutely the best carne guisada in Lubbock, TX. My favorite thing is the Smothered Burrito with Carne Guisada... it is so good I have cravings for it. read more

I have eaten here several times over the years and I have never had a bad experience. Everything is just a little better than you expect it to be - the rice, beans, salsa, everything. Also, the service is always top notch and genuine. Only negatives - it is a small building and so there are no restrooms that I have seen and it can sometimes get a little hot inside in the afternoon. read more

This is my favorite go to for breakfast burritos. My whole family loves lunch and swears Mary's pancakes are the best!

We ordered an assortment of breakfast tacos to go for 12 people and they were great. The staff was friendly and our food was prepared quickly. Everyone enjoyed the different varieties. We will be back. read more

This doesn't look like much from the outside but you're crazy if you're not going there for lunch or to grab breakfast burritos. It's a hidden gem that most people seem to miss. read more
