Do you have a restaurant woven into your family's history to the point that it feels more like a…read morememory you can step back into rather than just a place to eat? For us, that's El Ranchito in Huntington Park. It's a family-owned, authentic Mexican restaurant that has had the community on its back for the last 6 decades. They hand-make the tortillas right in front of you, serve up fresh chunky guac, and make their iconic Mama Avila's soup fresh daily. It's rare that a soup has me hitting a stank face, but here we are. The Camarones al mojo de ajo is a can't miss appetizer. It's succulent shrimp sauteed in butter and fresh garlic, made to be eaten with the piping hot homemade tortillas. They have all the traditional Mexican dishes, my brothers go to is the chile relleno, but I always just run the fajitas. I'm sure I'll get clowned for this, but nothing heals my trauma and existential dread like a plate of sizzling fajitas. My pops has worked in the area for longer than I've been alive, so El Ranchito has seen every iteration of me, and of my family. For that, I am grateful. I'll be coming here until the wheels fall off. EL RANCHITO ALL STARS!!! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

This was the place I was searching for tonight when I got a chance to hang out with the South Gate…read morepolice. The place they suggested was fine but not spectacular so the great Al Pastor search continued. Now these guys know how to run the show. Fifteen or twenty people standing around eating. A line 5 deep. A half dozen employees grilling and chopping and trimming. And the smell coming off this place ..... It was like meat perfume. It was a good thing that the service was quick 'cause it would have driven you mad to stand around smelling that awesome scent and not be able to dig into a plate full o' food. The Al Pastor was crispy, juicy, slightly sweet, piggy perfection. But what's the story with the beer? The not entirely legal taco stand wasn't enough for you? You thought you'd throw in a blanket full of bootleg DVD's and while you're at it why not pass around a few beers! You know what, I frankly don't care. When the ATF comes around to bust you just offer 'em a couple tacos. They'll be so busy groaning and sighing that they'll forget why they came.

English: I visited…read morethis restaurant because of its reputation for menudo and handmade tortillas. While there were some positives, a few key details missed the mark. The menudo had a generous amount of meat but lacked the bold flavor I expected. I had to add salt, oregano, and spices repeatedly, and it was just okay by the end. Also, serving it with lemon instead of lime was disappointing, as limes are traditional and make a noticeable difference. I'd rate the menudo 6/10. The handmade tortillas were excellent--great size, perfect texture, and delicious. They deserve a solid 9/10. The tacos, made with the same tortillas, were decent, though the asada needed extra salt. A lack of additional sauces or grilled onions limited the experience. I'd rate the tacos 7.5/10. The restaurant was clean, organized, and had attentive service. The staff checked in often and even offered extra tortillas, which I appreciated. Overall, I'd give the place a 3.5/5 or 7/10. Great potential but room for improvement. Español: Visité este restaurante por su fama de menudo y tortillas hechas a mano. Aunque hubo cosas positivas, algunos detalles clave no cumplieron mis expectativas. El menudo tenía una buena cantidad de carne, pero le faltaba sabor. Tuve que añadir sal, orégano y especias varias veces, y al final quedó apenas aceptable. Además, lo sirvieron con limón en lugar de lima, lo cual fue decepcionante, ya que las limas son tradicionales y marcan la diferencia. Le doy al menudo un 6/10. Las tortillas hechas a mano fueron excelentes: buen tamaño, textura perfecta y muy sabrosas. Les doy un 9/10. Los tacos, hechos con estas tortillas, estuvieron decentes, aunque la asada necesitó sal adicional. Faltaron salsas extra y cebollitas asadas. Les doy un 7.5/10. El lugar estaba limpio, organizado, y el servicio fue atento. El personal ofreció tortillas adicionales, lo cual agradecí. En general, le doy un 3.5/5 o 7/10. Tiene buen potencial, pero hay margen para mejorar.

I recommend the pastor tacos which come with fresh piece of pineapple and the tacos de tripa dorada which few places carry or know how to cook well. They also have a big selection of aguas frescas. I have tried several tacos spot in the area but always return to this one for their quality and flavor. This place is also very reasonable priced and the staff is always very helpful. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. You can sit inside or you can order to go. The ambience is very friendly.

Tell them to grill it more A.K.A. DORADITA and of course have that pineapple added on there! Chicken: My second choice here. Good and with the right sauce taste even better. Green or Habanero Asada: Although its not really considered "Asada" since there is no grill. Its still good, but there has been some times that it was EH. As far as the aguas frescas... I've tried all and recommend any of them but if I had to... I would go for Cucumber
