El Ranchito - Joliet

Love their fruit stand, always fresh, always delish. I always get the watermelon fruit bowl and the cucumber fruit bowl Don't forget the salt lime and tahini a Mexican delicacy

During this crisis they are price gouging. They have been reported to the government. Any place of business that takes advantage of people in the time of need don’t deserve our money

This is NOT a low cost restaurant as Google shows. But, the food and service make it very much worth what you pay. I would say a good average plate price would be around $16. That's an average. Some as low as $10, while others around $20. Plates are large, and filled with full portions. Some of these entrees come on a flaming mini type grill that actually is still cooking the food with open flame right on the table. They don't skimp. Very cozy while yet formal atmosphere. Mariachis are available for $20 per song. Although it looks small outside, it's very large inside. I would recommend reservations, especially if you have a large crowd. This place has been pretty much full since arrival. And I can see why.

So we come back and ordered amazing beef fajitas much much tender than mi cocina. Margaritas on the rocks and their corn chips were fresh we are going back yum

We had not been here in a while, so returned to the familiar restaurant. I ordered something different this time and am glad I did. I had a combination plate that had a chicken taco and guacamole tostado with beans (not refried the other kind whose name I can't remember). I was pleasantly surprised by the taco it was tasty. Their guacamole is usually good. Service was excellent.
