    Great service and food. Loved the chorizo burrito. Yummmmmmmmmm. So gooood. I liked the tacos too

    a tray of food

    My colleague suggested this place for Mexican food as it's just a short walk to the restaurant from work. Tiny parking lot in the back. Small hole in a wall place with 2 workers. Had 2 steak tacos w/corn tortillas and a horchata. Flavorless meat and very little protein. They were so dry and maybe the worst tacos ever. Rice and beans were ok but how can one even messed that up? Horchata was refreshing. No need to return.

    Burrito

    After several debates on what Mexican restaurant I was going to go with, I finally decided on this one. I ordered the steak burrito with chips and queso. The restaurant followed directions with me wanting the sauces on the side. Delivery was pretty fast and food was still warm enough to eat. The burrito was big and tasty. I could taste everything in it: the steak, the lettuce, the onions, the beans, and the rice. Not sure if white cheddar is supposed to be mild in flavor, but it was okay. The salsa was QUITE watery and I didn't care for it. The chips tasted like plain Doritos, not a huge fan. The only thing I'd suggest is to add more meat (if that's your thing) because halfway through my burrito, I stopped tasting it and seeing it. I was stuffed. I'll be ordering again soon!

    Chorizo tacos w/ corn salsa and fajita veggies. Side of rice and pinto beans

    El Rancho is open for takeout and delivery during covid. It has a very lowkey exterior so be careful because you might drive right by it! The cashier was nice when I went to pick up my order, but upon getting home, I realized he forgot the guac which was $2.05 extra so was not happy about that. Check that everything is in the bag before leaving! Also, the red salsa that they have is HOT, and I can take a good amount of spice so beware! You have been warned. I ordered the chorizo tacos with side of rice and beans ($7.99). The meal as a whole was pretty mediocre. The chorizo wasn't flavorful and the rice tasted like it was seasoned a few days ago and reheated. The corn salsa was pretty much the only exciting thing. The beans saved the dish but note that they are whole and not refried, so they're a little watery. Not terrible but nothing to write home about.

    1. Burrito Horchata

    Amazing food & horchata!! Cute little restaurant. The service is wonderful. Easy to follow the menu and customize your food! The burritos are HUGE! Definitely coming back again.

    Soggy mess. That's not cheese that's the chip falling apart.

    Lord have mercy. I'm angry with all the people giving this place 4-5 stars. Y'all lied to me and now I'm out 20 bucks. Just why? The order: Nachos with pastor and 3 carne asada (steak) tacos, delivered. Don't get delivery. It took an hour and my food was cold. But even worse than cold food is SOGGY DISINTEGRATED CHIPS. I mean come on, how hard it is to pack the chips separate? Or at least put them ON TOP of the wet stuff instead of underneath when you know they're taking a car ride to the customer? Easily avoidable but instead I got ruined food. The quality: Dude, why did my taco taste like canned soup? How is that even possible? Was it the weird strips of pastor that clearly weren't cooked and cut from a spit? Maybe the meat was boiled rather than roasted/charred? The texture was way off and the meat wasn't flavorful. Was it the tomatoes in the pico? Which should have been fresh salsa but instead had tomatoes that squished to an indiscernible red mush when you touched them. Were these tomatoes cooked or overripe? I had to pick them out of the taco to get rid of that weird Progresso Soup flavor. Perhaps it was the utter lack of cilantro, what I got was a sprinkling of wilted leaves in a dry taco. Oh, and the double tortilla was a no. These are not little street tacos made out of thin tortillas that have been tossed on a grill to soak up some of the delicious meat fat. These are two massive, thick, machine made tortillas you can buy at the store. Like these are the same tortillas I have in my pantry right now. You don't double these because they are too thick and make a dry taco. They didn't even tastes grilled, just like went straight from the bag to my plate. Even the salsa was bad. The red is an overly thin flavorless habanero nightmare and the green is an almost delicious but OH GOD SO MUCH SALT disappointment. Go with the green. Skip the pico unless you like Campbell's minestrone flavored tacos. At $8 for 3 tacos that's over 2.50 each for less than mediocre BS you could make better yourself. I actually removed all the soggy chips from my nachos which made me see a) not many chips and b) not much topping. The carne asada on the nachos was at least more flavorful than the boiled pastor, so I used it to fill a taco. It was fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 stars since I had a bite that was just a pinto bean and a little cheese and it was like "ooh flavor thank you" but sadly this "flavor" eluded me for the rest of the meal.

    Food was amazing. Most Mexican places in Madison completely suck, but this blew our minds. Highly recommend, and the tamales were wonderful.

    This is my "go to" place for nachos. El Rancho nachos are by far my all time favorite! Excellent and friendly customer service every time!

    Ordered a dozen tamales from here for Christmas. They were so delicious I knew I had to visit the…read morerestaurant and try some of their other dishes. Came on a Sunday afternoon to a nearly empty restaurant and got seated immediately. Ordered horchata and enchiladas verdes and ny girlfriend ordered the enmoladas. The horchata was nice, though it wasn't fresh or homemade. I was mixed on the enchiladas verdes, since the rice, beans, and chicken tasted great. My only gripe was that the salsa verde was lacking in flavor and acidity I expect from a salsa. I got to taste the enmoladas and the sauce for that seems to be their signature. Delicious and complex. My girlfriend was very happy with her meal. I was also pleased to see that you can pre-order a dozen tamales a day ahead any time (not just seasonally) I will come back again, especially to pick up more tamales rojas and to try some other dishes

    We ordered takeout and ordered a variety of items for a party…read more I am thrilled to see that they have tlacoyos in the menu. They were very good. It's also rare to see these "antojitos" in the menu. I also tried the milanesa and that was my favorite. Thin and lightly breaded. So good! The fajitas and taco salad were delicious, as well. The service was good and the atmosphere very colorful. I'm looking forward to trying it again.
