Partial drive through menu
Patrick M.

We wanted to dine in for lunch today, but it was so blazing hot in Marble Falls, We opted for the drive-through. It took quite a while for the order to be made, but it was the height of lunch hour, so I understood. We ordered the number 10 a crispy taco, cheese enchilada and rice & beans. Also the number 19 "Enchiladas Supreme". A plate with four enchiladas, beef, chicken, cheese and beans. Served with cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. We thought both dishes were fairly typical Tex-Mex and nothing special. The only disappointment was lots of restaurants are giving chips and salsa "to go" along with plate lunches, but apparently not at El Rancho. They do have a large menu and we might be interested in checking it again when in Marble Falls.

What??? We got chips and salsa refills for free! Yay! chips were still hot and they hooked us up with 2 other Hotter salsa. Love it.. We got the Especial for 2 and it was huge for the price! Big girl gets Big food..Yummy!! This is a must try if you're in the area!!

Wonderful food and excellent service. This may be one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to for sheer quality of food and the staff are so helpful and kind!

Veggie fajitas

So, so good! Came in late on a Saturday night and the food was amazing! Got the veggie fajitas, so much flavor! Definitely recommend this place.

Breakfast menu - smoked sausage with eggs, beans, and patatas!!

What a great find!! We were in Marble Falls for the weekend and were super lucky to find El Rancho for breakfast! The restaurant is beautiful and has a very friendly staff - and the food!!! SO DELICIOUS! We went back the next day for breakfast because it was so amazing. We live in Austin, but I'd drive an hour to eat there again. Best we've had in years - thanks, we'll be back for certain

Friday Lunch Special  - Vierne Burrito with tea included

We are new to the area; have eaten here twice and plan to return many more times! The food is delicious and the wait staff were very polite! I returned to this restaurant on Friday, October 30, 2020 after bragging about it to a close friend - IT WAS TERRIBLE. We tried to eat inside the restaurant but it was full of flies! We were constantly waving our arms across our plates trying to keep the flies from landing on our food. We alerted the staff to the situation & they were very nonchalant about it - not caring AT ALL. They told us it couldn't be helped because the flies came in the front door. Then they lied to me - I asked to speak to the manager and was told the person would be right over to our table. After waiting for about 15 minutes, I asked again to speak to someone in charge. At this point the staff told me it'd be another 20 minutes before the manager was available. I told the staff I couldn't wait that long and then they told me the manager was in Mexico and not available AT ALL. The dishonesty and lack of concern of the staff in addition to the abundance of flies make me change the rating I gave - I'd give them a ZERO and they don't deserve that. I asked that the manager call me whenever they had time - more than 3 days later I haven't heard from anyone. HORRIBLE Customer Service.

Jardin Corona - Flavorful fresh thick salsa, worthy of a close up

Tried this for a lunch place, in part from fellow Yelper reviews (haven't been steered wrong yet,…read morethanks Shannon G!) Service and quality of food were great, better than most places we've tried. Our server stayed on top of things, even as the lunch rush started. The menu has several unique offerings, and lots of options depending on how much you want to eat. (One mistake - we both ordered a cup of tortilla soup, and were surprised at how much we got with that! Some rice, pico, sliced avocado, tortilla strips, it would have made a complete light lunch by itself. So we were full by the time the main plates arrived). I got the Super Tucan combination plate (taco/enchilada/flauta, w/beans and rice), and the Hop Queen got the Chimichanga. Both were very generous portions of tasty, fresh food, nothing tasted like it had been sitting. With the tortilla soup, this pretty much would have fed us the rest of the day. Plenty of seating, also tables outside. Downtown has lots of parking on the street. Highly recommended!

Being a tourist sure does make you hungry…read more First I want to say how wonderful everyone was. A cheerful greeting when I walked in. I sat at my table and immediately someone came around the corner with chips and salsa. Someone else came and asked if I wanted to order a drink. Uhh, ya I do. I ordered a peach daiquiri. So girly I know. Peach daiquiri came with whipped cream and a cherry. Was a great peach flavor. Loved it. Chips and salsa were great. . The chips are thin, warm, and lightly salted. The salsa was a mild spice. Enjoyable. I ordered the shrimp tacos. Comes with 2 street tacos and double the tortillas on each. Purple cabbage, cilantro, tender shrimp. I liked the sauce they had on the side. Also had black beans and rice. The whole meal was pretty filling. Service was pretty fast. The drink came quick. The meal itself was quick. The chips and salsa came like seconds when I sat down. They also have outside seating as well. Although it was warming up, I wanted to be inside. There's a small free parking lot kitty corner to the restaurant. Also free street parking too. Everything was great. And would love to come here again next time I visit Marble Falls.

I saw it was "A Very Merry Tamale Day" and thought of trying some tamales. I had called on the way up and asked if they sold the Tamales just hot or also frozen and they said both. The price was $24 for a dozen. We looked at the menu and asked some questions from the waitress so she gave us a few minutes as we looked over the Tamale Day menu. She told us the only item not available was the Pork w/Habanero Tamale. We decided on the Solo Tamales which are a 4-Tamale entree and the Veracruz Tamale which I wanted a la carte w/o the beans and rice. The waitress said that would be $8 vs. the entree which was $12. She said it was a big tamale as I asked what the difference was between a regular tamale and this one wrapped in a Banana Leaf? I was intrigued! For the Solo Tamales, we chose 2 Chicken Tamales, Pork & the Chicken & Cream Cheese. I wasn't interested in the Spinach and Mushroom. After a few minutes, we were served the Tamales. We split the 4-Tamales so we could try each flavor. The Chicken & Cream Cheese Tamale was surprisingly tasty since it had the Cream Cheese inside. The Pork and Chicken had a red seasoning so you couldn't distinguish between Pork and Chicken. I'd say the ratio of meat to Masa on the chicken was more Masa. It wasn't something to write home about. The huge Veracruz Tamale was moist, very flavorful, had lots of tender meat and so tasty that I finished the whole thing!! It was nice to have the sour cream dollop, shredded lettuce and pico de gallo on the side. I would've ordered a few to take home if we weren't planning on window shopping. The decor is rustic with lots of wood in the booths & on the ceiling. The place was pretty quiet as there wasn't any music playing and only one other booth had folks until we left where another set of customers sat in the front table by the entrance. It would've been nice if they had napkin dispensers on the tables. The tabletop seemed kinda sticky. Bathrooms are ample but the middle bathroom is very short in depth between the door and toilet. Place is pretty casual and there's seating in the back patio.

Let me begin by saying that I truly believe those of you who say this place is not good either just want free food, or you're tastebuds are not werkin'! The flavor in everything.... We had the menudo, the burrito con steak plate, and the beef enchiladas... to drink we got a pina. The flavor in all of it was superb... I mean it was giving me a food orgasm the entire time! I wish I would have taken pics, but alas, I did not. This is one of the most authentic Mexican spots I've ever had, and we have had a lot. If you aren't the type who likes, or can handle, for that matter, seasoning and flavor, stay away! The service of the guys that work here was also just as good. No doubt we will return!! Probably tomorrow... haha.

The green posole was just the right amount of heat with the fixens (cabbage, lime, onion, etc.), was delicious. Ordered the flautas and that was amazing-6 chicken filled flautas with lettuce/cheese on top. 2 types of salsa to pick from-red and green. Service was good. Have no complaints other than why didn't I try them sooner? Very good and authentic food for this area.
