    Nice little neighborhood Taqueria in Westmont near 63rd and Williams (east of the Harvest breakfast place). The food is good, services is friendly and helpful, and the prices are about right. We arrived just before the Friday dinner rush and were promptly greeted by our server who gave us some chips and two salsas (one red and one green). Both had some heat - especially the red. When my dad struggled a bit with them, the server brought over a bowl of mild salsa. Very thoughtful... I decided to get a carne asada gordita, and two tacos (lengua and cabeza - tongue and cow head). The tacos were tasty, especially the lengua, though they were a bit sparsely filled compared to some of the tacos I've had in the area. The gordita, at $2.99, represented a good value - nicely filled. I'm looking forward to trying the sopes, huaraches, tostadas and tortas in future visits. I used to come regularly to Taqueria el Pulpo which used to be at this location. I think the food is comparable at this incarnation - quite good. Our server was fantastic - she took the time to answer multiple questions about the food despite covering all of the tables by herself. If you liked Taqueria el Pulpo, you'll definitely like Taqueria El Ranchito. If you didn't get a chance to try el Pulpo, now's your chance to check out the new place.

    I've been here twice and it's fantastic to find some authentic flavors in the land of suburbia. Their vegetarian options revolve around black beans, rice, cheese and avocado, but the torta, taco, and quesadilla I tried were all delicious. Their horchata is so creamy and delicious. Also, when I have ordered to go and to eat in the service has been very friendly and prompt. Chips and salsa appear to come free with your meal, whether you eat in or not. Also, food comes out very quickly. This does not feel like a run-of-the-mill Mexican place. Just walking in you get the vibe that it's a restaurant that people take a lot of pride in. If you are in the area, I would recommend you stop by for lunch!

    Unfortunately for us everything we ordered was not good at all We felt as though Nothing tasted fresh. We ordered a few tacos and sopes. The meat was tender just very bland. The beans were watery, and rice was so so it had pieces of potato which was different. A big disappointment was the Horchata ! (tasted watered down and had a funny soap taste). The only thing I'm thinking for how awful the food was is we ordered an hour before closing although I have had Mexican from places that stay open till 3am and are way better.

    The sides were pretty small serving and the enchilada wasn't very tasty as I was a bit disappointed in this place after seeing all the stellar reviews .It is a simple small joint with a good limited menu and fair prices but it is far from a five star restaurant . Many better options in the immediate neighborhood.

    Don't let the casual/diner-like atmosphere fool you - this place has the best tacos in the Western suburbs! I've been many times and the food is always fresh, never greasy, always good. The people that run the place are also super nice.

    Ordered 3 tacos and the meat in one of the tacos was sour. Can't believe they tried to serve it. Will not return, I had a stomach ache the rest of the day.

    Nice folks cooking authentic Mexican food at very reasonable prices. The smallish interior hardly reflects the big flavor of their freshly-prepared tacos and burritos, which are the only menu items I've had the pleasure of sampling, so far. The fact that this quaint restaurant is located in the same little shopping center as my favorite laundromat is a bonus, since I can grab a great lunch while doing a few loads of laundry, which is definitely a "WIN-WIN". One of these evenings I'll definitely have to bring a date back for a nice sit-down dinner and check out some of the other items on their fairly good-sized menu. Hungry for REAL Mexican food? Forget the chain places and check out Taqueria El Ranchito next time. Your taste buds AND your wallet will be glad you did.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
