This place opened about a month or so ago in a space that was a Polish grocery.It is a traditional Mexican grocery with many products but it is also makes many Mexican dishes including Tacos,Tortas,Tamales and features different cooked platters each day.
I had the Al Pastor Torta, I developed a love of Al Pastor from the taco trucks in Bushwick and while its not on that level its still a pretty good version. The Torta was huge with that soft Mexican roll stuffed with the tasty pork,tomatoes,lettuce,onions,avocado,jalapenos,cheese and mayo. It was a bargain for 6.50 and was a delicious lunch.
The service was fast and friendly and they speak English so no language issues. I will be making this a regular stop. Welcome to the Neighborhood.
I always walked right past this place not expecting to ever go in. But, the day came when I was looking for dinner around the neighborhood and mexican was the ideal cuisine. I ordered the al pastor torta and my wife had the carne enchilada. The tortas were made with fresh ingredients right in front of our eyes. 2 tortas only cost us $14 and they even have a loyalty card. The torta wasn't as spicy as I'd like it and there was cheese in it for some reason but it wasn't so bad. I'll give this place another shot and ask them to hold the cheese.
I'm giving El Ranchito 5 stars based solely on its food and customer service. Solid. Simply solid Mexican food cooked to order, no frills, just good eats. El Ranchito is a local hole in the wall with tasty, quality tacos. There is a simple setup of chairs and small tables in the back of the store, but we usually pick up our order and eat at home. From the outside, you can't tell they are a restaurant. Instead, they look like a Mexican convenience store, but you'll find "El Ranchito" dotting the upper left corner of the sign, and if you catch a whiff when the doors swings open/close, your nose will tell you you've found 'em.
Everytime I come, I order the bistec tacos. The hubs is in love with their chorizo tacos, claiming: "the chorizo tacos are so flavorful that the bistec tacos taste bland." Either way, their tacos are AWESOME and the ingredients fresh. Their order of 3 is more than enough to fill you up if you've got a regular appetite; my hubs ate 6 so you may want to double it if you're a guy.
Great prices as well. We ordered a total of 9 tacos, and the total was less than $20. We're already regulars to this spot, and will continue to come here every time we are craving some tasty Mexican food. Can't wait to try out the other items on their menu (posted in the pictures).
