El Rancho Mexican Restaurant (Poquoson)

My daughter was in the mood for Mexican food so we decided to check out El Rancho in Poquoson. The salsa was really good but it does have a kick, which we love. My boys aren't much on Mexican food so they were extremely excited to see they had a wing special that night. I will say. Their wings were cooked perfectly. Nice crisp and great sauce. 10's from the boys. My youngest daughter got a quesadilla and some rice, which she said was really good. My grandson ate all of his rice which says a lot! My daughter and I had the fajitas for 2. It could feed 3 easily. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was we had to order our sour cream separate. Other than that, everything was amazing. The service was quick. The atmosphere was nice. The servers and staff were wonderful. We will definitely go back again!

Very clean and also quick service food taste great!Parking spacePlenty of parkingParking optionsFree parking lot

Go to pick up food, pay, get home, wrong order. Call them, lady says she inadvertently gave me wrong order, my order is by register. Ask what to do with food givin, told to keep and come get food. Get there, says someone gave away our food but if we pay again will give us the right food, otherwise we must go home, get the wrong order and return it to get our food. Not happy, I say thank you but I will discontinue coming there as we are regulars, her reply… “ok, good”. What ere they going to do? Give our wrong order to someone else? Disappointed.

Nice local restaurant with nice selection of American Mexican foods. Food was good and hot. Service ran a bit slow but it was pretty crowded. We visit every time we are in town. Recommend.Food: 4/5

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere. If you want great food for lunch and not wait all day this is a good choice.Food: 5/5

Had the Nachos Texicano, was delicious! They could use another person on the team, seemed to take a little while for service even though they weren’t to busy.Food: 4/5

El Rancho is wonderful. Great food, large portions, friendly staff, affordable prices... Best of all, everything is always delicious. Don't forget the white sauce, and if you dare, try their kicking tomatillo salsa picante! Vegetarian options: Excellent choices for vegetarian specials, and you can order anything custom or a la carte! Kid-friendliness: Our little boy loves the kid options!

Have been to El Rancho a few times with the family. Kids love it as do the wife and I. We look forward to trying more items off the menu in the future. Have not found a favorite entree as I have at other Mexican restaurants. So i can not honestly give El Rancho 5 stars till I do. Service was also slower when only moderately busy. Could have been a few call outs though. Will update after a few more visits

Probably the best Salsa and Chips around…really close to where I live…good to support local businesses that are doing their best day in and day out.Food: 5/5

Got the carnitas and it was more than enough for two. The pork was so tender it just pulled away so easy for the tortillas
