Enchiladas el Rancho
Cindi R.

WOW. I had carnitas enchiladas and they were overstuffed with carnitas. No skimping here. The mole sauce I'll guarantee was homemade. Authentic flavor. The Spanish rice was also very moist.

House special tacos: 1 chicken, chorizo, and steak.
Margaret G.

Came here because we heard this place was under new management. Sad#1: We walked in and tried to order margaritas but they didn't have their license yet. Sad #2: I tried to order an horchata instead, but apparently they didn't have it even though it was on the menu. BURRITO #1: My partner got a meat filled burrito. It was so big that he could only get through 1/3rd of it before asking for a box. I think they should have smaller burritos and offer a side instead. That's just too much burrito. THREE TACOS: I ordered the house special of three tacos. I got each taco with different kinds of meats. 1, chicken; 2, chorizo; 3, carnitas. Whoops, change carnitas to the steak option because they AGAIN, DIDN'T HAVE IT IN. (Sad #3) The green sauce served with the tacos was good and spicy. The flavors were also very good, the chorizo was the star of the show... but the refried beans that came with the side of rice were lacking. CHURROS: The server gave us churros that were on the house, basically to say sorry for not having the items I wanted. The churros has a side of whipped cream with a cherry, and drizzled in chocolate syrup. The churros were nice and hot, but I didn't understand why there was chocolate on them when they're good as is. PRICE: My bill came out to $36 dollars or so before tip. PARKING is in the back of the restaurant. After 5 pm you can park in the other next door parking lot. SERVICE: VERY ATTENTIVE to filling waters. I was impressed with the politeness. They even opened the door for us when we entered and left. OVERALL: I was disappointed that the three things I REALLY wanted from this place, I couldn't get. I will have to come back at a later time to try the margaritas, horchata, and carnitas.

Inside dining room

This place is a gem! Nice dining room; clean and well lit. Fantastic service and very reasonable prices. Huge menu; high quality and great tasting food. The chips and salsa are fresh and delicious. The shredded beef chimichanga was so amazing - one of the best chimichangas we've ever had! Highly recommend this place.

Enchiladas El rancho.

We were very hungry and El Zocalo came through!! We were greeted upon entry and sat right away. Our drinks and food orders were placed. The kitchen had to be right on the other side of the wall because you could hear the sizzle of the meats and smell the aromas of the meals being prepared. My parents both got the carnitas enchiladas with rice and beans they were both amazed at how much food was put on their plates. They took leftovers and still have some leftover, and that was a couple days ago we went. My brother had an enchilada platter with an assortment of enchiladas. As you can see in the picture, the "side" was served right on top and wow it was a lot of lettuce. I ordered my usual carnitas and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Them came in 6 big chunks that came apart quite easily. The flavor was great, it had a unique char on the meat that I don't recall on too many previous carnitas dishes. If I'm ever in town again I'm definitely coming here again. Awesome service, awesome food. Well done El Zocalo!!!

Taqueria 304 - Loaded nachos

Taqueria 304

4.3(68 reviews)

Taqueria 304 is an awesome Wheeling gem and well-worth a visit if you have an affinity for all…read morethings Mexican food. Came here with a friend last week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I want to lead with the best here: the bartender/server here provided some of the best service I have experienced in the last few years. So many people have come to expect poor service (including myself) that positive experiences like this really serve as a wake-up call to what the dining experience ought to be like. Kudos to Taqueria 304 for hiring the best! I can't omit the excellent food and stellar plate presentation either. My friend and I both got the loaded nachos as our entrees and they were as delicious as they were beautiful. As for the drinks, plenty of beers on tap and in bottles to suit your needs, particularly of the Mexican variety (fitting). Ambiance is nice with some clever furnishings, like the sideways doors carpentered to serve as an entryway wall. One thing I will mention is that open-concept establishments tend to have noise issues and this place is no exception; even still, my friend and I were able to hear each other on this occasion (no promises when the place is full). Parking here can be challenging due to all the construction currently happening in the area though there are spots available on both sides of the street which ought to be enough at most times of the day. All things considered, Taqueria 304 is a welcome addition to the area and I hope they stick around for a long time to come! Overall: 4.5 stars ---- Pros: - Outrageously good service, that needs to be commended in a world where such service is increasingly rare. - Excellent food with a skilled eye for presentation. - Great draft/bottle beer selection. - Pleasant ambiance with clever furnishings. Cons: - Open-concept spots can have noise issues, though it wasn't too bad during our visit. - Parking is tough but still available.

Great food. Been coming to Wheeling for years and finally visited this place. I will definitely…read morereturn.
