It may not look like it from the outside, but this restaurant has lots of character inside. When we walked in, we could smell the delicious food. Unlike a lot of restaurants, it didn't smell like grease. Our waitress, Desiree, was friendly and very attentive. The food was some of the best Mexican food I have had in a long time. Fortunately they were not out of the carne asada for my burro. My husband's shrimp were still steaming over 5 minutes after they were served. The red sauce they were in tasted good. The chips were fresh and salsa had a nice kick to it. We tried the deep fried jalapeños and decided to place an order of them to go along with a combo plate and another burro. We will be back. It's a bit of a drive, but if we can drive an hour to Mesa to eat, we can do the same for Globe (ourother two experiences with Globe food were horrible). read more

The restaurant is not very large, but it is decorated in bright cheery colors and Mexican decor, with even the tabletops having scenes on them. We shared a table for six with another couple who happened to be passing through town as well. I was disappointed that they didn't have any chili rellenos that day, but I got a cheese enchilada and beef taco from the ala carte menu. It was all tasty. We also had some complimentary chips and salsa (a bit zippy for my taste, but my husband liked it.). Service was friendly and efficient and the food came out quickly. read more

Stopped here on the way back home and it did not disappoint! I've been craving pozole and this hit the spot; served with a warm tortilla, cabbage, and limes (upon request). I also ordered a single chicken enchilada and I couldn't decide which dish I liked better! My husband ordered a bean and cheese chimichanga with a side of green chili pork and loved it. The salsa that was brought with the chips was spicy and flavorful. We took the second to last table and got there around 2 pm...no shortage of patrons an hour before close! Our server was kind and attentive. Can't wait to come back! read more

El Ranchito - Pozole - Mexican Near Me - Globe, Arizona

Great authentic food, friendly service always. My family has been going here for many years

Had the opportunity to dine in Globe, AZ and chose El Ranchito's in old town Globe. Small structure but nicely decorated. I chose a chicken taco, chicken enchilada, refried beans and ice tea. Comes with chips and salsa that was good. Lots of Mexican food providers around this area. Really liked staff at restaurant and they did a good job serving us. Give this place a shot and you will find good dining. read more

I have been to this establishment previously but decided to visit again as it was excellent the first time. This is a very authentic Mexican restaurant as you would find south of the border. The pictures illustrate this. It is a colorful and fun place perfect for lunches or informal dinners. The waitress was attentive and immediately brought us complimentary tortilla chips and homemade salsa. Both were delicious and the tortilla chips were unsalted and the cilantro in the homemade salsa gave it zing! We ordered two combination plates - Chile Relleno and an Enchilada with Beef and a Green Chili Plate with corn tortilla. I tried my friend's plate as well and everything was excellent - fresh, hot, and yummy! I highly recommend this establishment. read more

The food was goooood here! I really liked the guacamole too! I'm more of a " flour "chip girl and I was so delighted when they had it on their menu! Had the chili relleno combo plate, plenty of flavorful food! Hubby had the green Chile, it was so satisfying! This restaurant stays busy, but is pretty quiet... The server we had was very kind! We enjoyed our entrees and definitely will be back to try new dishes and for a margarita, of course!! read more

The food is always amazing. Service is great. My go to place for lunch when I'm in Globe.

The quality and portion for the price was not right,very small portions, on top of that check and ask for your detail receipt, the cost for the two items that I purchased was 21.98 and they charged me 25.98, taxes are not $4 dollars, I think that are adding extra charges and wont tell you, they act like they are busy so you won't ask. Will never be back to this place. read more

This was my first time at El Ranchito. The restaurant is located in downtown Globe . It is small, but definitely worth the visit. I love all of the colorful Decour. The staff was very friendly and made you feel like you were in their home. The food was very fresh. I loved it because it was not heavy or greasy. I had the Christmas burro which was a full of flavor from the green and red chilis. I have family in the Globe/Miami area. Now that I have found this little Jewel, I will make it a must stop on every trip even if I just pick up a to go order. read more

AMAZING! I have not been here in years but really enjoyed the food, and service! Great little place to get some authentic mexican food. I order cheese crips with green chilis, very good, and a side if guac with an order of flour chip, which came out hot, but they did cost $4. i wanted carne asada but they did not have any that day so i order two taco plate with rice an beans, which all came out hot and delicious. The place was really busy and one waitress was handling all the tables with a smile. She had a great attitude and was very fast! I will be back! read more

Crispy Tacos were good, I enjoyed them. Restaurant was noticeably clean as was the outside. I was just passing through Globe and chose it. I would be unhesitant to stop there again. It seemed to have a steady stream of local customers, which I take as good recommendation. read more

Stumbled on this little place and I'm so glad we did. Amazing service, and great food. The salsa and guacamole are so fresh and tasty. My husband had the green chili plate and I had the beef chimichanga. Both were amazing and huge portions. read more

Waitress was great and the food was awesome and the beer was ice cold.Very colorful,Hispanic decore

My favorite restaurant ever! The food is amazing and the ladies are always the best! 10/10 every time!

My husband, his sister and I had dinner here once when visiting Globe. I had beef fajitas with flour tortillas, guacamole, rice and beans. My husband had a shredded beef combo with rice and beans. He said the beef was too salty and the salsa too hot. Only one kind of salsa was available. It would have been nice to have some mild salsa. I really liked the beans and fresh tortilla. My beef had some tough pieces but was generally good. I liked the red and green pepper slices. The rice was good. The decor was colorful and pretty. Our booth was comfortable. read more

This place is super popular locally and was crazy busy when I went. They seemed a bit overwhelmed, but to be fair, I arrived at a bad time during the dinner rush. Anyhow, the food is a super local style of Mexican food, with only 3 types of tacos and only flour tortillas. The tortillas are high quality here, and the adobada (red marinated pork) was super tender. I was less impressed by the chile and beans, though--the red chile was too creamy, lacking the edge of a New Mexico style red chile. The adobada had a similar missing something, and the beans were also just a bit too luscious to have maximal bean flavor. Chips and salsa (included) were fresh, which was nice. Next time I'm in Globe I'll probably try a different Mexican place for comparison, but this is a solid option in a town with a ton of Mexican places with similar menus. read more

I drove an hour Friday, June 13 to have lunch here. They are closed. It's not that hard to put up notifications for this sort of thing.

Fast service but very small restaurant. We ordered to go and sat across the street on a bench to eat. My husband liked his enchilada and 1 taco combo. I had the two taco combination plate. The tacos were really good! We loved the refried beans they were flavorful and creamy. Glad we also ordered a large chips with salsa too. Love eating the beans with chips and salsa. I also have to say the rice was one of the best we have had at a Mexican restaurant. Not mushy or undercooked. Great restraint and very festive inside just small maybe 9 tables around 50 people max. Sorry no pics as we ate off our laps on the bench. Total for two combos and large chips $32. read more

Really good chili rellenos. The staff is very friendly. The food is very good. The art work is very nice as well.

Took a day trip to Globe on a Sunday. Most shops were closed for the day. Stopped at El Ranchito for lunch. It's very small but has colorful decor. It was very good. Great rice and beans. The staff was very friendly even though they were very busy. read more

El Ranchito seems to be a popular spot for many of the locals of Globe/Miami. With how delicious the Mexican food is, it's not hard to see why. Sadly, that's where the good ends. The restaurant is beautifully decorated but terribly cluttered. The ambience consists of the twenty people all around you n the small location. If you're fat, claustrophobic, or anti social this is not the place for you. Order to go! read more

El Ranchito - Cowboy stuff - Mexican Near Me - Globe, Arizona

Food is always extraordinary homemade hot sauce is very delicious and flavorful service is delightful. The atmosphere is great fun all of the tables and chairs are painted with Mexican city and ocean type designs. They're very interesting and I would say they entertain the children quite a lot. I have a favorite table. I eat there as much as possible almost daily. You asked questions like is it hipster Trendy it is so far beyond anything like that it can be just absolutely favorite spot ever. All those who wait tables are so pleasant and so friendly so helpful I would say almost perfect service. read more

First, I would like to say the place was quiet and the waiter was nice, but she could have been better. After we told her that we were done she didn't offer to bring the checks or even tell us that we needed to go up front to pay for it . If this is your first time, order from the a la cart; that way you don't spend too much money.Don't expect authentic Mexican food this is your traditional New Mexico food only. Sign this is true would be the colorful benches and wall art, and the large amount of cheddar cheese used on every dish. read more

This place is a joke. I've tried to come here three times during their posted open/work hours and they've been closed every single time. Today - they "ran out of tortillas" is what the sign said. Safeway is one mile away. Get crackin' folks. Your excuses are lame. I'm done. read more

Stopped here on the way back from Apache Lake after reading some of the other yelp reviews and it did not disappoint! It was a busy Sunday morning and we were lucky to get a table as it is very small and filled up quickly and many were waiting as we left. Our waitress was very prompt with menus and delivered home made chips and delicious home made fresh salsa right away. I ordered the machaca with eggs and he ordered a chimichanga, both came with creamy refried beans and his also had rice. The food was excellent and the waitress came by often to check on us and also refilled our drinks and replenish our salsa. I wish I would've took pictures of the interior as it is very colorful and fun to look at. Will definitely be back if you love homemade Mexican food you must stop in read more

Food is great!!! Online prices ar not correct. 5.95 menudo $9.00. Not enough of a problem to not keep eating tjere

Hands down BEST place we ate our whole trip! I just wish we found it sooner. Everything we tried was delightful and full of flavor! Love, love, love it! read more

finally trying this place out. small family owned mexican restaurant. ordered my usual (green chili burrito, enchilada style). I love the salsa, the burrito was amazing, the pork was fresh, tender and tasty, made from scratch, from the green chili to the vegs inside. the enchilada sauce was delicious and home made. servers quick and welcoming and the price was more than fair. love this place has that small town vibe, seen a lot of locals dinning in and doing take out. This is one of my top picks for lunch and would definitely recommend. so gooood! read more

Definitely give El Ranchito a try if you're in the Globe/Miami area and looking for some excellent Mexican fare! My husband and I just visited last night, after a long day riding motorcycles with two other couples- we were hungry, and this place did not disappoint! A very tiny parking lot and only 8 tables inside, but well worth the chaos to park and get inside. There was not one complaint from anyone in our party about their food- everyone was so happy with what they ordered, and the prices are amazing! I thought the toreados were absolutely delicious, but the heaviness from the toppings on my cheese crisp turned it soggy- that's my fault for ordering it with toppings, though! Only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I thought the tortilla chips weren't very good at all- not served hot, a weird texture, and almost stale tasting. Other than that, I loved every part of our experience, and we will certainly be back! read more

Fall was upon a remote reservation when the Indian tribe asked their new Chief what the coming winter was going to be like. The modern day Chief had never been taught the secrets of the ancients. When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like. Better safe than sorry, he said to himself and told his tribe that the winter was indeed expected to be cold and that the members of the village should stock up on firewood to be prepared. After several days, our modern Chief got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold," the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "It's going to be a very cold winter." The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find. Two weeks later the Chief called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?" "Absolutely," the man replied. "It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters ever." "How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy." read more

The best Mexican (American) food I've ever had. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant- and I've tried maaaaaaaaaaany! Their salsa is what is always want other salsas to be! The machaca tacos changed my brain's definition of tacos. Chimichangas, enchiladas, posole, huevos rancheros - they are all some of the best I've had. Plus, it's cozy and comfortable. It is not a place to go if you want intimacy with your eating partners. But if you want to feel a part of the community and to enjoy your meal in the company of fellow diners, you will be welcomed. read more

Excellent lunch. I would highly recommend their food. Great staff, great menu, friendly staff, only 8 tables but is cozy. They got our food right out. There was 5 hungry men. Thanks! read more

We love el ranchito, for breakfast too! Egg and ham burro is my favorite, paired with their hot sauce is a great start for your day!

I do not think I have ever had an experience like this. The waitresses were kind. The chips and salsa were great. My boys even enjoyed their food. I was not serviced. I was told the cook refused to make tacos that didn't contain meat. He would not make my dish. The only substitution requested was beans instead of meat in the tacos. I have an allergy that prevents me from eating flour so a burrito with beans was out of the question. I am very disappointed because I know my parents love this place. If you are vegan, pass this place by. Maybe it was just the cook today. I don't know. I never even leave reviews but this is not ok. read more

Great food, if you want local traditional food, come here. The servers were very welcoming and kind. We came from Utah and we are leaving with some of there salsa. Salsa is homemade and fresh with a nice spicy kick. The tamales are delicious. We definitely will be returning. read more
