Taqueria El Ranchito in San Jose, CA - Authentic Mexican Cuisine with Delivery and Takeout Options

First time going to this restaurant and I may say it’s pretty good. Price is fair based on the amount of food you get. They’re following social distance by allowing only 4 guests at the time.

Food is great and comes out fast. their orange sauce is amazing! Never had a bad experience here. I'm supposed to be on diet and I eat here way too much, probably 2 or 3 times a week. It's addicting.

Great food! Atmosphere? Well, you don't really go to taqueria for atmosphere? It passes for atmosphere. Your outside view is a parking lot. You don't really go there for the view, do you? The only complaint I have is the amount of meat in my flautas. Maybe two pinches of meat per flauta! The prices have gone up a bit. *** Out of four stars!

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.

Quick order. The food came out quick. There are chips and different salsas to choose from. We had huevos rancheros and an order of Al pastor enchiladas. Food was great!

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.

Forgot about this place and recently went back. Glad did. This may be my post-round spot. Had the carnitas tacos. The red salsa was super good. Looking at the picture just made hungry again.

This is your basic taqueria offering good food at a good price. I always come here for Taco Tuesday. Four street tacos and a drink for 10 bucks. Can't beat it! And yes, the food is excellent.
