El Ranchon Family Mexican Restaurant in Elma

It's fair. Just typical Tex mex

Tortilla soup that will change your life. Margaritas are the best. Everything delicious. Arrow Con Pollo is highly recommended. Seems the service is fantastic

I heard good things about this place, but it was pretty bland and very much your run of the mill 'American mexican' restaurant. Paying was also a complete hassle because the cashier did know how to use the chip reader somehow.

Really enjoyed this place. Fast service, good food!

Great food.

Wonderful food, good price, fast service

Terrible. The least authentic Mexican food I've ever had. The street "tacos" came out wet. I asked for then to not be, so I didn't need a fork to eat them. The quality of ingredients was on par with taco bell. I get that you have to cater to your population, but I promise, that anyone that enjoys authentic mexican food will hate this place

Quick friendly service, good food, and a lot of it! Wow! I enjoyed a Chicken Quesadilla, and could not finish it. Definitely enough to split with someone

Best Mexican restaurant in Elma!

Good food and good service

Was delicious and hot, well seasoned and really affordable

Very good experience. Food is excellent. A little pricey, but still worth the dining experience.

Great place for a casual dinner. Nice, friendly servers, large portions, fresh hot food, quick service. Excellent value. Very pleased.

The service was not good. Lacking flavor and the tacos were cold and watery. Definitely some of the worst mexican food I have ever had.

Great food and great service. All the staff was friendly. The food came out in a reasonable time even though it was relatively busy. I would recommend this place for anybody from a full family to a couple. I definitely will be coming back here soon.

Not impressed. $4.99 for a bean burrito. Great. But apparently they add cheese for $2 then rice and beans for an extra $4. Making a small, DRY bean burrito almost as much as a Carne Asada burrito. 🤦🏽‍♀️ The chips have been really stale the last two times. The lady that "helped" us tonight was rude, impatient, and took forever to bring our check. I don't recommend this place at all. Not anymore. Waaaay too expensive for such subpar food.

Went here with friends because we were told this place is amazing. Food was pretty good, but not amazing. Their corn tortillas were made fresh though and they have a little place in front where the make and cook them... yum! Kinda sad they didn't have fresh homemade flour tortillas. Service was excellent! Parking was horrible especially if you're handicapped, but they're not opposed to handicap parking near front doors (not right out the doors, but close) if there's room for cars to get by.

Worst service ever! We were sat down quickly enough and our server asked for our our drink order I began to speak and he walked away sat another table, and asked them for their drink order. I've never been treated so horribly before.

The fastest service I've ever had in any restaurant. It wasn't "I'll get your food started right away" fast. It was "We already knew you were coming" fast. Less than 5 minutes after ordering fast. One of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to. The Sopitos meal comes with homemade corn tortillas that beat any I've had. HUGE portions. Everything was delicious. Veggie toppings fresh, good salsa.

A Very Good Place To Eat " Authentic Mexican Food, Good to taste as well as a Pleasant Evening, nice Atmosphere, Friendly Family Owner's. Mostly Regular Customers. But we are From Texas, where many Hispanics live and Work. So it was nice to be at a Restaurant this far North, with South of The Border Flavor!" We my Husband Dan and I give them a Two Thumbs Up!" I hope someday we could come back to Visit, and Ride their City Bus "!"

Always good and the best customer service!

The food wasn't bad but the service sucked. The man that greeted us at the door was not very nice nor was the server.

Amazing food at good prices. The service has always been great. Definitely recommend!

Disappointed tonight with my order to go. Missed a full dinner from my order and the place was empty due to football game. Had to wait for the order (missing the game 🤨) and didn't get the side of guacamole and sour cream packed in my order but was charged for the sides.

I'd say more like 3.5 stars. Quick service, typical Mexican restaurant food for a decent price, salsa was good. Seemed like staff wasn't in a good mood, and wanted in and out as quick as possible.

Always amazing food and service.

Great food, good prices,welcoming staff

We opened up our food and there was mold in it and there only giving us our money back for the $3 dessert chimichangas. Never going back.

I have been here 4 times. The food is always excellent, the prices are fair and best of all I have never waited more than 10 minutes after ordering for my food to arrive! Staff is fast and competent but quiet and shy. Not talkative but I like that!

Great Service! Great Food! Great Atmosphere! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something off the beaten path!

Excellent food, great service. I have eaten from here many times. Always consistently great. My favorite Mexican restaurant period.

Wow, it is like sequel to the very good, bad and ugly.The enchiladas were very good. Bad service, I think it was the owner in a bad mood and the salsa/chips ugly. Quite meager in quantity and taste. The salsa containers were so small that dipping a chip ended up with little results.The red salsa was so watered down, I didn't even bother. It wouldn't take much to elevate this dining experience but everything was half hearted except the main entree. Disappointing but has potential.

Great food. Great service. Good prices. What more can you ask for?

No flavor. Everything tasted the same. Everything appeared microwaved. NOT fresh at all.

Really fresh good tasting food. Friendly wait staff.

This is the best Mexican restaurant in the entire region even including south Puget Sound. My wife frequently orders the chicken tortilla soup, its amazing. I tend to go with a variety of items and I've always been extremely impressed.

Always a favorite. Great service and great food.

Been going here since it opened 10+ years ago. Never disappoints - Awesome food, love everyone who works there.

Very disappointing. The food was very poorly made and sloppily assembled. Most of it fell apart as soon as I tried to eat it as everything was absolutely drowning in badly seasoned refried beans. They need some real help with properly packing to go orders so the food survives to its destination. Also the man who took my order on the phone was very rude, abrupt and had to be reminded mutiple times what my correct order was. I ordered 2 simple dishes with no special modifications.

I absolutely love everything about this place. The staff is amamzing, the food is even better and they value families more than money. Great place for a family lunch or dinner. My all time favorite Mexican restaurant.

Pretty good food, and very nice wait staff. Margaritas are really good. 😊

The tacos where soggy. They forgot one of are orders. I spent 70 dollars and the food wasn't even completely done . the employees where nice the restaurant was clean.

Thay have great service and food ,😁

Amazingly quick and efficient service. Not over bearing but never felt abandoned. Food was amazing, they refilled our chips. Whole experience was about 30 minutes delishous and efficient. Couldn't have been more pleased.

I liked my carne asada burrito, but kids ground beef was meh.

We ordered our food and it was served in 5 minutes or less. It tasted day old and really hot like it was heated up in the microwave. The plate was also really hot and I know they wouldn't put a plate in the oven but you would heat leftovers in the microwave.

Service was excellent. Food was delicious. So glad they are open for business again.

Excellent Food! Great Customer Service. Food that has great flavor, it almost melt in your mouth. Absolutely delicious, I wish this restaurant was closer to my house. I’m going to make this hour long trip just to eat here again. Go enjoy 😉

Very tasty food! Great people.

Great food very fast service even when busy and friendly staff love this place
