Taqueria El Ranchito, San Jose CA

Ordered Super Burrito and 2 super Quesadilla Super 2 with carnitas and one with pollo asado. Both carnitas were dried out and hard like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp for several hours. The chicken had 5+ bones in it. I will never order from here again

Meh. I was hopeful, but disappointed. Staff was sweet.food came out fast for lunch, but the flour in my burrito was also super burnt.: (. Husband said his tacos didn't have any flavour. Nachos had a great taste, but there was a lot of gristle to the chicken.

We we starving, so we thankfully ate it, but we won't be returning.

Positive - they have a jalapeno sauce which was nice!

The green sauce chilaquiles are the absolute best! I can't stop ordering the same item. FYI: do yourself a favor and try to order in advance. Everything is made to order (nothing refrigerated) so takes a bit longer

The food was made in their full-time the flavoring is old world for those of you who love authentic Mexican food I would take anybody there any dinner love always Daniel James abstract artist social distancing

Omg love the Food. I have never left this place unhappy. It always hits the spot but a little bit on the $$$ side

Really fantastic! Got Nachos and a quesadilla. Great tasty salsa bar and free chips. I'll be back!

The staff was super nice to my special needs son. He has a unique (picky) taste in Mexican food. They were patient in understanding what he wanted and put lots of yummy cheese like he loves on his tacos. Price was reasonable being in the Bay Area.

The worst Mexican food I have had ever in my life and I have lived in California my whole life and went to Mexico many times!

Super dry tacos, no salsa. How can you sell tacos without salsa? ! We bought so much food and decided to throw everything else away because everything is so dry.

I've been going to Smart & Final for years and never tried this place before a month ago. I've been four times since and had to start dragging others with me. They serve my favorite, carne en su jugo, and it is to die for. Perfect mix of savory and tang in an unforgettable stew. It is a must try for anyone looking for something aside from the usual Mexican fare. All of their food has been great thus far and you can tell because come lunch time it's nearly impossible to get a table. Definitely add this little hole in the wall looking place to your rotation.

Great food at a fair price. The burritos taste good without being overly greasy. Underrated spot in SJ.

My wife and I travel all over to try new restaurants and we tried this Taqueria for the first and I am really impressed with the quality and taste.
I had the chicken enchilada and taco combo and I really enjoyed every bit. The chicken wasn’t dry and the carne asada had real good flavor and also wasn’t dry. I would recommend everyone to try it at least time. The prices range from $9.99 to $14.99 but was very filling. The green avocado salsa was real good as well. I will definitely be coming back again. Only thing is that there is very limited seating.

Update, 6/26/21: My wife and I went back to Taqueria El Ranchito today to see if the first time was just an anomaly, and “Yes” this restaurant is on par. I tried the same dish a second time and it was even better than the first time around. I've been looking for a good Mexican spot in the south side and this is hands down one of the best.

For reference, I think La Victoria Taqueria is 1 star, Burrito Factory is 1 Star and most of the taco trucks in the south side are really not good. I do however give La Costa 4 Stars, Taco Mania 4 Stars and Super Taqueria 4 Star (But only because I grew up with it on the Eastside of San Jose and it brings back great memories, and the food is pretty good). Hope this helps.

Don't waste your money or time. I got 1 super burrito and 1 regular burrito and 1 rice and beans burrito and 4 tacos and 2 soft drinks. It came up to 52.00. My super burrito was gross and it had 10 peices of meat.my wife burrito had no meat either. The 4 tacos were cold and my daughter ate 2 and said it wasn't good either. My son said it was the worst burrito he has ever ate. Im so disappointed with the food.

This restaurant has really good super burritos and caldo de res. We love ordering from here.

Terrible food! Terrible service. I paid 12$ for a soggy sandwich. They forgot the avocado, forgot the cheese, barely any meat, it was all lettuce and soggy bread. Plus the little meat that was on the sandwich was awful. No seasoning or salt and it was low grade cheap meat. Worst torta I've ever had and I'm never going back.
