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.

Good food! The service is always good and the food tastes good. It's a great atmosphere and very clean also. The place is set up very inviting and festive.

They may have changed the name and brightened the decor, but oat importantly, the food is still delicious.

I have been to El Ranchito probably 100 times or more since they have opened. It is far and away my favorite mexican resturant in the greater St. Louis area. All of the staff is wonderful, friendly, and fast. The chimichangas are wonderful, and the margaritas are even better! The trek out to Union might be a little bit long for some of you, but trust me, it is worth it. Especially if your usual place would be something like El Maguey, or something similiar. When you go be sure to ask for Travis, Jesse, or Joe, you won't regret it!

Clean, colorful and food is delicious. One of a kind Mexican restaurant. If you are out and about stop in and do not forget to ask for the white cheese sauce to dip your chips.

Margaritas I had a banana rather would've had it on the rocks but it wasn't on the rocks it wasn't too bad and I had fajitas they weren't too bad shrimp and steak we're ok didn't really care for the salsa it was too thin needs to be a little more chunkier and I tried the pomegranate margarita too it was way too sweet

Based on Amy S's review we stopped for dinner here on the way back to STL from Redbud, MO. The atmosphere was exactly as described, altho I was worried when the greeter asked if we wanted smoking or nonsmoking. (Apparently the ban on second hand smoke has not caught up to union yet.) But the food was excellent and cheap and beer was served in an icy mug--perfect. Highly recommend the chimichanga and carnitas dinners. Chips/salsa so so, but very friendly service.

We're new to the area and have been trying out different restaurants to find our new local favorites. After trying several, this is probably the best Mexican restaurant in the Washington/Union/Villa Ridge area. Great food and really good service (check was slow to arrive but otherwise excellent). The food was well prepared and more authentic than any other restaurant in the area. Margarita's were excellent too!

Where am I? Union Mo?? Talk about authentic, this place is stellar. This is Mexican Food the way it's supposed to be. I am in awe that places like Hacienda do this banging business when the food is just OK. The decor is cute, the service is good and the food excellent. Try the taco salad, YUM! and great frozen Margaritas. I had minus a star since it's a smoking restaurant. They allow smoking in the front of the building, so when you walk in if there are groups there smoking that is the first thing you smell. No more smoking I'll kick it up a star.

Passing through town. Ate here because of the good reviews on yelp. We were very pleased. Large portions. I got chipotle chicken. Tasty but I realized I'm not crazy about the smoky flavor of chipotles. Won't get again just because of personal preference. Hubby got steak tacos which he said was very good. Guacamole & cheese yummy too. Oh and VERY reasonably priced. Service was attentive & pleasant. We will be back!

Found this place on a snowy Saturday and stopped for a late lunch. I had the Pollo con Chipotle. Made with chicken and onions, with a cream chipotle sauce that was fantastic. Very good guacamole made on the premises. Excellent and unobtrusive service all at a reasonable price.

I sent these guys a note of thanks recently. Here it is in its entirety. "Your restaurant and staff are remarkable. No matter how many months since my last visit, among other things, my preference in a margarita is remembered, I think mostly due to your wait staff that never seem to leave for greener pastures. You obviously treat them very well because these are the same great people that have been waiting on us for years. It's such an added bonus to know your waiter by name and feel like a regular. We live in the city but we constantly recommend your restaurant to friends that live out your direction, or might be heading that way. There are quite a few decent Mexican restaurants in St. Louis of course. But with the possible exception of the totally authentic Mexican restaurants clustered within the Cherokee neighborhood, "The Ranch," is unparalleled. Keep it up! You never seem to be hurting for business, and that's a testament to so many things you're doing right. PS: There's never been a stank from the cigarette smoke from the front of your restaurant's smoking area. And it's Franklin County and God forbid... I should say anything further. But it's something to consider as your place gets packed night after night. If it's financially possible, try to draw in more cigarette hating diners, and less permitted to do so. Long live The Ranch."

Updated to 4 stars: This restaurant has gone smoke-free! This is a welcome decision as there was no physical barrier in the restaurant to divide the smoking and non-smoking sections. El Ranchito is my favorite Mexican restaurant in this area so far. Their chicken nachos are tops. They use the white, chihuahua cheese (pretty sure that's what it's called) instead of just shredded cheddar or something everyone uses at home. The portions are good, and the value is the best part. Their prices are crazy good. One reason this is a 4-star and not 5: 1. Service can be iffy. Sometimes I've had great service, and I've also been there more than a few times and had crappy service. On more than one occasion, my drink was waiting to be refilled for nearly the entire meal, it took a long time to get our bill, or they wouldn't come back to check that we got what we ordered, which is one of my dining pet peeves. [My theory is since the meal prices are so cheap, they don't work too hard for their tips because, percentage-wise, most don't tip well for them to justify it.]

The food here is really good but the service falls short in matching the food. Orders are constantly messed up and sometimes take a while to come out of the kitchen, it takes forever to get your bill, much less the change, the correct change that is. They seem to get a lot of business being near the center of town, which would be why there is usually a decent wait to be sat, even during lunch. Like I said good food of you're willing to wait for it.

Normally good service and good food, they have one good problem and that is they are very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights. So sometimes it takes a little bit to be seated

I'm a snotty ass from-rural-Missouri-and-never-fit-in-so-fled-to-Los-Angeles-as-soon-as-she-could kinda girl so when I agreed to meet my brother and his fiancee out in their neck of the woods (um, literally?) for dinner I was a little frightened. My brother promised me this was my kind of place, but as we see each other twice a year, I wasn't exactly sold until I walked in. The decor here is freaking adorable! Sunshines on the back of the booth seats and also under the glass of the tabletops. I think it would be impossible to be in a bad mood while here. The restaurant itself is owned by white people who love Mexican food, and as my parents used to do the same, immediately I had a soft spot for El Ranchito. Yes, the food is Americanized Mexican, but it's super-yummy Americanized Mexican for a superass good deal. We all had entrees, two of us had sides (a small quibble - most entrees come with beans OR rice or sometimes neither), and all three of us had "medium" sized drinks (which would be the large almost anywhere else) and our total bill was $46!! Gotta love dining out in the middle of nowhere. Service was attentive, but not annoying, and we got our food very quickly (but not weirdly quickly where you wonder if your stuff was waiting under a heatlamp for you). All in all, a surprisingly delightful experience!
