El Ranchito Taco Shop

Original Carne Asada Burrito comes w/​guacamole, salsa and green sauce. I ordered mine without the green sauce. The steak meat is excellent, although there was a very, very minimal amount of guacamole I could hardly taste it nor barely notice the guac in this burrito, extremely disappointing considering this burrito is $ 7.83. The salsa in the burrito was also very little, maybe a few pieces of tomato if any. The size of the burrito is average. Overall I feel this most popular carne asada burrito is overpriced without the appropriate amount of ingredients (guac & salsa) I will not be returning again.

I tried this place on the recommendation of a friend, the food was very good and the service was great. I will definitely be back, so far I think this is one of the best taco shops in Temecula.

Great Mexican food. Some of the best Carnitas tacos I’ve ever had! I want to eat here over and over!

Ordered their chicken and carne asada tacos. It had great flavor but too greasy! Their horchata tasted like it was made from powder. The girl who took our order was not very polite either.

Breakfast burrito was not very good. It kind of gave me an instant stomach ache and tasted like an American hamburger in a burrito… Gross

Today was our first visit to El Ranchito. Prices were decent, place was clean. We ordered super nachos, el pastor burrito, and fries to go. We got home and the food was okay. They carna asada nachos were very plain looking a dab aid sour cream, and a dab of guacamole. For sorry looking but they tasted good. And they give you a lot. My daughter and I shared. My husband got the burrito and he liked it. The fries on the other had were old and looked like they were sitting and refried. Tasted old. I called to complain about the fries and they were so nice and apologized for it. Other then that, I think we would go there again since it’s close to home. But I will definitely check the order before I leave.

Hands down our favorite local taco shop. Our favorite is the Carne asada mexicana style burrito… Full of flavor great sauces and great customer service.

I usually love this place. Been coming here with my family for years. Always the same faces behind the counter, always friendly, always professional! And the food CONSISTENTLY good!
Disappointed with the new staff, Adriana and the girl with the glasses and braces are rude and unprofessional. You shouldn’t be eating on the other side of the same counter I’m ordering from. Nor should you be stuffing your face with fries while bagging up customers food. Pretty sure that’s a health code issue.
Bring back the old staff and people that actually GIVE A S*** about your store.
And invest in a business card! I wouldn’t have displayed my review publicly if the girls had offered me a form of getting ahold on your ownership or management. Which I asked for.

Love their food. However do they do mess up a lot and they are super expensive… 10 tacos for 23 dollars UGH

Best breakfast burrito I’ve found around here yet! And even better price! I don’t live out here but work around the corner and have been looking for a decent breakfast burrito and price. The search is over. I’ve found it!!! ;)

This a a good taco shop, I especially like their chilaquiles for breakfast, but they also have awesome breakfast burritos.
I have also brought the family for dinner, they all love the food.

This one is ok better then the other one. I went during lunch time on a weekday, the food was good and took a reasonable able of time. The shells were not brunt. Got it to go which was good since there was no open seats.

This little Mexican place is amazing I’ve followed them for a while they are a franchise but everyone is just as good as the other! The food is authentic Mexican food, as authentic as it will get for Cali lol. The workers are very friendly and they keep this place really clean! Also they have great specials that are daily! Such a steal unlimited salsa! Great deals yum food!

I have found my taco shop, I love this place! I can’t get enough of their food. The carne asada nachos are amazing. The tacos and burritos are delicious. I haven’t ordered anything yet that I haven’t loved.
We always get the food to go so I can’t say much about the restaurant itself, but it looks very clean.

First time here and I will be back! I had the shredded beef tacos with beans and rice. The beans we’re pretty darn good and the tacos we’re very yummy. Customer service was good too and they got the food out to me fast!

I hadn’t been here in too many years to even try to count, didn’t even remember what I thought of the food/​service. Went in and ordered the enchilada special (cheese enchilada, shredded beef taco and bean tostada, with a drink) for $ 6.99
The cheese enchilada was pretty salty, but was tolerable, lots of cheese yumminess. The shredded beef taco was awesome! The meat was tender and juicy, lettuce and cheese were fresh and nicely proportioned to the meat, the taco shell was freshly made and not too greasy. The bean tostada was my least favorite. The beans tasted good and the perfect amount of cheese and lettuce, but the shell tasted «old» and «store bought», nothing like the taco shell. I ended up scraping off the «stuff» and discarding the shell.
The salsa bar looked nice and clean and well stocked, especially considering how busy they were. The spicy carrots are the best I’ve had in a really long time.
Service was friendly and helpful, and the place was clean — I will be sure to come back more often!

Great food. All these places I think have the same family running them because they are always clean and the food is always great.

Great taco shop and location. I live in Murrieta but am willing to drive there because of its’ quality and value. Good menudo and great carna asada.

Tacos, Tacos, And More Tacos.
Tried this place out today for a late lunch.
It’s a solid 3 ½ Star Taco Joint.
Tried Four Different Types.
Carnitas.
Carna Asada.
Lingua.
And
A Fish Taco.
The Carna Asada was a little dry and tough.
The Fish was pretty good and quite large compared to the other street tacos.
THe Carnitas Taco was outstanding and was my favorite of the four.
The Lingua (Beef Tongue) was a little over cooked but super tender.
Better Tacos than some I’ve had.
There is plenty of Parking, and plenty of seating.
The prices are fair on most of their items.
The Salsas are not bad but their hottest wasn’t all that hot. However the flavor was good.
The service was friendly and fast and pleasant.
All in all I will eat here again next time I’m in the area.
Enjoy

All taco shops are not created equal. Came here with no expectation and ordered one of their specials which consisted of a beef (shredded) taco, cheese enchilada, bean tostada, & a drink for $ 6.99…not too shabby.
The place was so clean (bathrooms included) and the staff was kind and professional. I did come on a Saturday night maybe 30 minutes before closing time (10p), which probably had something to do with it, but hey, maybe that’s the key! That beef taco was one of the best I’ve had in a long time! Yum! The shell was fried to perfection, and the meat was very tender and moist. They also didn’t skimp on the cheese, which is my taco shop pet peeve. A-​okay in my book. I’d definitely come back here if I were in the area. Check them out. Enjoy!

El Ranshito!
