People that have written sub par reviews are crazy. This place is great! Traditional Mexican for sure. Atmosphere was great, service was good. Check them out if you are in the mood for Mexican!

From out of town, it was our first time here, food and service were both very good!

Just ate at El Ranchero for the first time -- one of the best lunches I've had in a long time. I ate the tacos with grilled beef; my wife had the chicken enchiladas with mole; and we shared an order of the shrimp quesadillas. I was really impressed with each dish, but I'd have to say that my wife's order -- the chicken enchiladas with mole -- was amazing. I definitely recommend El Ranchero. I'm not sure why some people are giving it such tough and -- in some cases -- impolite reviews.

The best deal in Arlington for authentic and fresh Mexican food. Don't miss their $1 beer and $1 tacos on Tuesday and Thursday nights!
