El Ranchito

Oak Cliff....great area of Dallas and great places to eat. Want some authentic Mexican food with great atmosphere and excellent service? Then here, El Ranchito restaurant is where it's at! Anytime of the day! But evenings is where the music comes from outside to inside the venue.....live Mariachi music! And to your table for a fee or just listen to it when others pay instead..😁. Either way it's great to hear traditional Mexican music. Yes..they do requests as well. Highly recommend. Just cover the ears of the little ones cause it can be loud....📯📯🎺🎺🪇🪇🪗🪗🥁🥁🎶🎶🎶🎻🎻🎧

Amazing food and service! It is very packed and you may have to wait but it is worth it! Mariachi is also another reason to come here!

The Mariachi creates a wonderful experience. There was a lady taking photos. That’s fantastic as well. The food tasted delicious and so did the Margarita.

The best authentic Mexican food place I've been to in a long time. Don't let the area scare you 😀 We had the Parradilla Mexicana and it was delicious right down to the homemade tortillas. Hubby also suggests the Frozen Margarita with a floater.

We had beef enchiladas an chicken enchiladas . Mother had a Chile relleno Wich was delicious she said . Service was great an the environment was so relaxing

Delicious, it's a restaurant you must try. Take your whole family.

This place has survived for decades because the food is great, staff has been here a lot of years so it works efficiently. Mariachi Bands roam about ($25 per song is advertised price (in Spanish)). We had forgotten how great it was (not having been in 15+ years) and we will be back soon with friends.

Great place to have some good Mexican food. Mariachis on site to sing you a song. Take a photo with the family. Great selection on the menu. Big portions, even for kids plates. Been around for years and consistently good!

Personally, thought the guacamole was the best I've ever eaten. Super smooth and seems to have a secret ingredient.

Always go there, food is great and eating while listening mariachis is te best, I love Ranchito's margaritas!!

We had a great experience for our birthday celebration. The Mariachi was amazing.

WOW!! I love this place. It was my first time here and i am headed back this Friday! The fajita were great, the service was great but the Margaritas... BOI! I had a swirl with sangria and i drank it so fast I needed another. TOTAL WORTH THE TRIP!

We drive 45 minutes from our house to eat here. Love all the authentic choices. Carlos is a wonderful server

Yesss I had ordered the chicken and beef fajitas combo with spanish rice and Punto beans. For desert I had the rice pudding everything was so good. Very friendly and nice people's.

Loved ambiance of this place. Very nice energy. Music was great and lots of colors. And amazing aroma of mexican cuisine...
Service was great and food tastes amazing.
Would definitely recommend it.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! My entire family has been eating at this establishment since before I was born. We moved away from the Dallas area so we aren't regulars anymore & most of the staff are still there and their children are now working there. It's very family oriented as well as family-owned, operated for as long I as can remember. They don't remember us but they still treat everyone as if they're regulars.

One of the best Mexican restaurants. Yummy, perfect and fast service, cozy place, nice drinks. Live music by mariachis every evening. Dont forget to ask for your free promotion picture, photo of you and your friends. Recommending.

The huevos rancheros, combo platter, and beef short ribs were all delicious. We also love the decor. Great timly service as well.

Food was good, staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend their horchata boracha from the bar. Its sweet without a strong taste of liquor.

We come for birthday dinners here, great food, great staff, you can listen to Mariachis as well. Very family oriented.
