El Rancho Mexican Grill

My family left the restaurant feeling happy and satisfied. I think it was a good value for the price paid. I enjoyed the refried beans a lot. I think the chips would be a lot better with more salt added. Cilantro garnish for flavor and color would be a welcome addition to the plates. The carved and painted chairs and tables provided an element of Mexican atmosphere to an otherwise plain strip mall shopping center. They were unique and different. I think adding some string lights to the ceiling would really add that extra element. The server was kind and attentive.

We had such a great experience at El Rancho Mexican Restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor…everything came out hot and perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot for a casual family dinner or a night out. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend! 🌮✨

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at El Ranchero Mexican Grill in Mandeville, right on Highway 59. The food was outstanding—authentic, bold flavors, and beautifully presented. And we have to give a huge shout-out to our server, Scarlett—she was phenomenal, so attentive and friendly. We’d absolutely recommend this place—just be sure to ask for Scarlett!

We've eaten here 4 times in the past year for birthday parties and it's consistently an affordable and pleasant place to eat. Tons of choices on the menu. They can accommodate large gatherings. The staff is friendly and I like the colorful decor.

You walk in to a bad smell. Smells like wet mop or stagnant water. Food was eh. The menu is extensive but it consists of all the same ingredients. Chips tasted old. Salsa was canned. My “guisado” was nothing but some sort of pan-fried meat with just a chipotle canned sauce on top. Was not good. The rice and beans were decent. It’s slightly better than fast food. Don’t expect much.
