5 stars El…read moreRancherito absolutely delivered one of those comforting, classic Valley Mexican food experiences that instantly feels like a local staple. We ordered two breakfast burritos plus a side of rice for our daughter and everything came out hot, fresh, and seriously flavorful. The tortillas tasted freshly warmed and had that perfect light crisp on the outside while still soft inside. The fillings were generous without being messy and every bite had balanced flavor instead of just tasting like eggs wrapped in a tortilla. You can tell they actually season their food properly. What really stood out was the service. My wife had a very specific way she wanted her burrito made and they were completely accommodating and happy to do it. No attitude, no confusion, just friendly and helpful. That alone goes a long way. The rice was simple but really good which kept our daughter happy and that is always the true test. Between the value, portions, and welcoming vibe this feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you end up coming back to regularly. Great food, kind people, and satisfying portions. We will definitely be back.

Service: The two young girls working the counter act like they watch too much reality tv and think they're above everyone else. Doesn't help their cause. The ambiance: filthy. Pay attention to everything both out front and behind the counter. All filthy everywhere, and the place is falling apart. Just nasty and run down. This should have been enough evidence to us that the food prep was also garbage. Risked it and regretted it both times! Summary: Do not eat here! Some reviews compliment some items on the menu. But totally not worth the gamble to most likely end up with trash, bacteria or something worse mixed in with your food! HARD PASS!!

I got two shrimp tacos and two fish tacos and the girl recommended the chipotle steak fries. The restaurant was super cute and I saw that they have a kids menu. Will definitely come back with the family. Food was yummy! Tacos were authentic and yummy! Chipotle fries hit the spot but was a bit of a gut bomb! Overall a great place - clean, fun and excellent food!

Well, use to love coming to this location, especially when it was Lino's, but honestly came back…read morebecause whoever was working at the location made me feel welcomed. Now it's definitely changed, different owners I'm assuming, different people working the front; to be honest the food is not bad, I don't mind the prices and quality, but the service even just picking up food and grabbing some extra sides from their self help section was just tense, like they watching you. The lady even came up to me say that sauces were an extra cost. It did t even feel like she came over to JUST let me know, but to also deter me from coming back, just because I grabbed some extra sides. Like dude you're a Hispanic taco shop, I got some asada fries, like your most expensive meal for what it is, I wasn't grabbing your bucket and dumping the contents man. Just made me feel like I shouldn't have spent my money to feel like I was taking advantage. Like come on dude. Food always hits though, compliments. Shitty service, at least ACT like you got good service

The asada burrito and asada fries are so good! They're both definitely money well spent since they don't skimp on anything!

I came here for Taco Tuesday and ended up trying almost one of each flavor--chicken, carne asada,…read morefried shrimp, and grilled fish. The fried shrimp was definitely my favorite; the batter was flavorful, perfectly crisp, and stood out from the rest. The other tacos were solid as well, and I really liked the chipotle sauce they use on their seafood options. The tacos are a decent size for $2.50 each. They also include a small portion of chips topped with beans and cheese, which is a nice added touch. Overall, I would definitely come back for Taco Tuesday. The food came out quickly--pretty standard for a taco spot--and the service was fine. The space is on the smaller side, but if you're dining in with a small group, it's comfortable enough.
