I recently visited El Ranchito Taco Shop, and it did not disappoint! I ordered a fish taco and shrimp tacos, thinking they’d be small—so I ordered three. But to my surprise, the one fish taco alone was so filling! It was flavorful, cooked to perfection,...Read More

It’s always a pleasure grabbing a quick bite to eat at this lovely establishment. Great Service! Efficient! Good Food! My Favorite is to get the combo with tostada, enchilada, & a potato taco! Remember to always show love to these hardworking people!

Had a Ham breakfast burrito without carne asada and it tasted awesome! Very good ham and bean flavor along with all the other ingredients. Not salty nor did it taste like a ton of fattening was thrown in. My wife had a bacon (extra crispy)...Read More

Best taco shop in town!! Friendly staff and great food! I’m from San Diego and I moved out here looking for any taco shop that is similar, all are pretty crappy besides this place. I’ll go no where else! Definitely recommend.

Chicken tacos are the BOOMB. Hubby had asada burrito, It was fire 🔥. Haven't been here in 10 years, just as good as it was then. Not too restaurants can hang this long, without food tasting different. …
