I work for Maricopa county and we have a dam right behind their restaurant. So today I said "I'm going to try a taco" ran in there really fast and grabbed two tacos. Omg, so delicious!

Excellent food and service!

Great service and awesome food. Give them 5+ STARS!

To talk about El Ranchero Restaurant we need to get our sombrero down, to drink a full bottle of Tequila and to start speaking louder " GREAT ATTENTION, SUPER EXCELLENT FOOD AND AWESOME ATMOSPHERE " . . . . They deserve no only 5 Stars. . . . They deserve 7 Super Stars !!!

Do you take reservations?

Never need reservation. Great food. Friendly service. Best Mexican food hands down!

They give the best food ever here I love it 5 star for me.

Good enough for me to bookmark in my GPS.

GINORMOUS portions and the customer service was ok downside it was super expensive.. hopefully they can adjust their menu prices, and I'm sure they would be packed. Good luck 👍

The place had a lot of people eating while I was there so our experience may not have been normal.The first plate brought to me had a large amount of water mixed with my food, they corrected that by bringing a new plate of food.There were 4 of us eating, none of our food was hot only warm. Flavors were ok but not great. We drove up from Sun City West, NOT worth the trip.

It's a pretty good place I've been there many times it's like a family-run place in a small town typical Mexican food not as healthy as food that I like but it's still good and I'll go again

Excellent local place; not a fancy but well worth the stop. We had the Carne Asada and Beef Taco Dorados (pic below). Both were excellent and the portions were sizable. Service was excellent and friendly. Just be careful parking in the rear. Can slide off the hill there and into the ravine below.

Out of town for Christmas vacation and happened to find this awesome place. Candy was our server and she was beyond excellent. We have some dietary restrictions which she easily helped us navigate. Usually this is something that bothers most servers and restaurants, not El Ranchero! We ordered Veggie Fajitas which arrived piping hot on a sizzling platter with enough beans, rice and guacamole for everyone. Definitely worth trying out this little gem!

The BEST margarita I've ever had and the BEST chicken I've ever had in a restaurant. I had the chicken quesadilla, and hubby had tacos. He said the grilled and ground beef were really good too. Everyone was friendly, the food came out fast, and it was all delicious- even the chips, salsa, and beans that come out before the meal. Very glad we stopped there on a whim!!!

I make several trips a year from Nevada to Arizona. I admit, I plan my route each way to go through Wickenburg during lunch or dinner time solely to stop at el Ranchero for a meal.. They prepare authentic Mexican dishes with the best of them.. I really crave the enchiladas. Just writing about it makes me want to plan another Arizona trip, (I am sure my AZ friends and family are sick of seeing me!) also, the staff is always pleasant to us road weary travelers..

Hidden Gem Alert !!! - first of all the staff was excellent and friendly. Next the refried beans was possibly the best I have ever had... paired with the Mixed Fajitas it was most delicious. Must visit... my buddy had the taco salad and just by looking at it that’s what I will order next time.

We love this place! While there are other Mexican Restaurants in town, this is by far and away the best in our opinion. Some favorite dishes include the Enchiladas Tricolor and the Tamales. Once seated you are given corn chips and three different dips: A warm bean dip, a mild salsa and a spicy salsa! The bean is my favorite and that goes the quickest but free refills are always available.

Came in wasn't really busy only a couple other people there Waitress took forever to take our order & to bring our food, the food had no flavor and you can tell it was out of cans not home made And Taco just fell apart. The only thing that was good was the Margarita And salsa & chips.

I am giving the benefit of rhe doubt here cause I was there on Valentine's day. The food was good and plentiful but service was super slow and not very good. During the 40+ minute wait for food we were not asked if we wanted more beer or chips. Any other day and this would have been a 2 or 3 star review. Protions are big enough for a big eater to enjoy. Prices are good for what you get.
