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.

After shopping at the nearby Kroger several times, I finally decided to stop in here. I was a bit put off by the Yelp reviews and the generic outer appearance but was pleasantly surprised by the service and food here. First of all, they have a pretty good happy hour for drinks. $1 draft beer in a large frosted mug and $15 margarita pitchers. I haven't seen prices like that since I graduated college 10 years ago. Second, I ordered a chicken dish and was blown away when they came out with this huge plate of food that I could barely finish. Having lived in Seattle for some time, I'm not used to getting so much for ~$10.

Just don't bother. You're so close to Harding where there are much better authentic Mexican restaurants. This was my second time here for convenience sake, and I regretted it again. The rice was super salty and nothing was great but the prices. Cheap and gross. As I was finishing my meal I saw a fly in my half empty glass of water underneath some ice cubes, I'm sure he was there for a while. Pretty nasty. Anyway, just don't do it.

It's supposed to be a cheap, fun little Mexican joint - and it delivers exactly on that. It's not going to be fancy, and for the price - you can't beat it. The happy hour special on margarita pitchers and (gasp) $1 Bud Lights make this a perfect "pre game" before you inevitably go and get trashed on a Friday or Saturday night.

Decent little Mexican joint. Unfortunately, the service was super slow. They only had ONE waitress for the entire restaurant, while the hostess (I'm assuming he's the owner) sat at the bar, waiting for people to walk in. He could have helped her but didn't. We ordered chicken tacos, tamales, and enchiladas. The salsa was suuuper spicy so beware if you don't like spicy food.

This place is ok. I really really try to like this place. The staff is always friendly and ready to help with whatever you need but every time I go there my fajita meat is always over cooked and really dry. My fiancé loves this place but he never gets fajita meat always enchiladas . I would also recommend not getting hard tacos to go . I live right down the road and by the time I get home the shell does not hold and is soggy.

Decent Mexican restaurant a mile from my house. It's super cheap - my hubby and I can eat here for $15-18ish and they're happy hour is pretty great too. Portions are huge and the food comes out very quickly. El Ranchero is never packed, it's a good place to come when you want good food quickly without a crowded atmosphere.
(3)William G.
This is real Mexican food, the menu is so extensive that you can order for weeks with different options daily. My favorite is the enchiladas with beef, Burrito Supremes, and the Fajitas!
(5)Noelle T.
I've eaten here several times over the years and it is ALWAYS good. Order the chicken fajitas. They taste different than the typical Mexican food you get in town and by different I mean amazing. Also, happy hour runs well into dinner with $3.50 margaritas and $1 Bud Light drafts.

I'm astounded I never reviewed this place considering how often I go to it. Service is always decent except when they're slammed and then it's still pretty good. Drinks are on the moderate stiffness side. Veggie foods are dead average Nashville Mexican restaurant. Salsa however, is the best, tastiest, most flavor-exploding salsa I've had in Nashville. Which is a shame because their chips are not the best... the best chips are down the road, the best salsa is here, going to just have to get a bucket and travel I think. I'm told the meatstuff is significantly better than the other nearby places, but I can't comment.

I've been here twice, both experiences were identical so I'll keep it short and to the point. Food: Terrible. Just terrible. Guacamole is a strange hue of green and not at all the consistency it should be. Chicken fajitas tasted like it was seasoned with soy sauce. Service: Non-existent. Our waitress came by twice and both times she had to be beckoned. She absolutely 100% ignored my party of three. There were a few other occupied tables in the place but they were by no means busy. She half-assed their service too so it wasn't just us. Payment time: Had to wait around for someone to come up front for 5-7 minutes. Ridiculous. Will discourage anyone from going here and will never return.

A decent Mexican restaurant depending on what you want. The salsa is homemade and I thought very delicious- lots of cilantro and onion. The cheese dip was very watery and flavorless. The chips were stale. I ordered a quesadilla and my husband ordered tacos. The food was very mediocre but we were served our food in 5 minutes from when we ordered. Service was outstanding. Food was hot but flavorless. Margaritas are good- much better than the food. Considering how many mexican restaurants are in this area, I will keep looking for a better one.

I've eaten at El Ranchero countless times and I just love this place. If you like pork you can't go wrong with the carnitas, they're so flavorful and tender. The shrimp cocktail is another favorite. The shrimp diablo is very good, but spicy! The house margaritas are above average, not watery like many places.
(5)Stephanie P.
I absolutely love this place. The employees know us by name. The food is affordable and delicious and the service is quick and friendly! An extra perk is that there is always parking because it's not in a 'trendy' area.

This place has really good salsa and the Fajitas are great!! One of my favorite Mexican restaurants
(4)Libby B.
I felt like this was your typical restaurant-not-actually-located-anywhere-near-Mexico style Mexican fare. Nothing to write home about, but nothing really to complain about either. The chips and salsa were good and kept coming, which I certainly didn't complain about. The huevos rancheros were equally tasty. Everything was reasonably priced and the service was quick. An alright place for a quick bite.

We go here almost every time we're craving Mexican food (which amounts to about once per week). It's good. It's got all the typical Americanized fare that you'd expect plus some pretty tasty more traditional dishes. We've tried almost everything on the menu. Their salsa is good too, and we're picky about salsa. The only thing I wouldn't get here is the fajitas. They are always disappointing and the portion is much smaller than pretty much all other similar places. The seasoning on them just isn't up to par either. So - go and try anything other than the fajitas :)
(4)Richard W.
It's become our favorite Mexican restaurant in Nashville. Not because the food is spectacular or the margaritas are top notch, but because the food is good, the margaritas are palatable (and on the strong side), and the staff is friendly. Some of the menu items are not your typical Mex-American fare which is a plus (in other words there are items to be had other than chile rellenos, burritos, and tacos.)

This place is for sure 'run of the mill' american cheapo mexican food. It is, however, my favorite of the cheap ROTM mexican food - why you ask? Super clean - this is important to me. So many low rent mexican joints look dingy and old which is, er, charming...but I like a clean atmosphere to eat in. Good salsa/fresh chips - chips and salsa are part of my death bed meal. I pretty much judge a joint before I even think of looking at the menu by the chips & salsa quality. El Ranchero has hot crispy chips and salsa with a little kick, not watered down tomato sauce like Las Palmas and its ilk. Good Service - never have to wait on extra chips or a water refill. A drink is important when you like it spicy! Also this place is never too busy, I'm not sure why because its good. Oh, wait yes I do...no mexican place in this neighborhood is ever too too busy because there are 500 million of them... Add slightly above average mexican fare and you've got a winner when the craving strikes!

Very good chicken chimichunga

My favorite chili rellenos in Nashville. Not all that nasty thick breading.
(5)Rebecca W.
Consistently flavorful food you can count on. Really recommend the rellano. Certainly American/Mexican food....yet there is a separation of flavors not all bean and cheesy melted messes....can taste quality ingredients. Service is friendly and efficient...atmosphere, typical.

Because of it's right down the street location, we used to visit this place all the time. While their food is the standard Mexican fare, I used to love the place because it was small and the people there were awesome. You should definitely get the cheese dip for the chips, it seemed like it had more of a kick to it than I'm used to at other places and I loved the fajitas. Of course now that I'm on a different side of town I've traded out Mexican joints, which may give an example of just how standard it is. It gets points for being good eats but it loses points for just being a run of the mill place, but sometimes that's okay too.
