Review by Crystal L.

El Rancho delivered a pleasant dining experience on my recent visit! The shrimp tacos were surprisingly fresh and packed with flavor. I also tried the grilled chicken nachos - they struck the perfect balance of gooey cheese and seasoned chicken on crispy chips. The ambiance, filled with vibrant murals, gave it a trendy yet casual vibe that's perfect for groups or solo diners.

Though some sauces could use a little more kick, I found the dishes overall quite satisfying. Can't wait to return for another burrito soon! 🌮
