I like coming to this Ranchito whenever I’m in Palm Desert. The food tastes fresh and has been consistent in its flavor. The customer service is always attentive- I’ve been coming here for years and the staff has always been very friendly. Their salsa bar is always clean and loaded with options. Make sure you try their delicious pepita dressing

First time at El Ranchito PD. Went for a quick lunch and left very satisfied. Ordered a Cali Burrito and a Al Pastor Torta. Both were delicious and the food was a good portion. For a drink I had the best horchata I've had in a while. Highly recommend, thank you for the excellent experience.

Homemade beans Homemade tortillas Meat so tender We found out spot , we travel a lot between Phoenix, Arizona to Escondido, CA and now we can’t wait to try the tacos and more next time. This place is just off the l-10 so just hope off and on with no issues

I had a green chicken and chilada, and hard shell taco witj shredded beef. The food was delicious. Everything tasted freshly made. And the serving sizes were very generous. The staff it was very friendly and efficient. The only drawback is that it's small, so there is limited seating.

I use to come here a lot but recently the food has been not so good and the price high. 35$ for two people and one drink. Enchiladas tasted like cinnamon and was overpowering the dish. Even the rice was picking up cinnamon taste from it. Strange. My party also tried it said the same thing. These don't taste like what I normally get. Rice and beans just avg. Chicken flautas was ok I guess.
