El Ranchero Mexican - KINGWOOD

We have been visiting this restaurant for years. They offer delicious food at very reasonable prices, and their lunch menu is particularly affordable. The service is quick, the restaurant is always clean, and we admire the hard work of the family who runs it.

We sat at the bar and ordered frozen margaritas and a mixed fajita platter for one. The total came to $37, which was a fantastic deal. The food was outstanding, although the meat could have been a bit more tender.

We ordered the Sampler for One and even though we shared it, we were both satisfied and full!

Very good food reasonably priced, large menu and everything we have eaten there has been good. When we want fabulous more expensive TexMex food we will always go to Papasito's Mexican Cantina! But for really good old fashion Mexican food we come here much more often, chips and salsa are excellent. Upon our recent visit with 4 other friends a total of 6 adults a child we had order and service issues with our server. She didn't get our order correct, she didn't get half of our table supplied with chips and salsa and very slow with drink refills and the main issue was that the restaurant was empty but two hours before closing time but they were cleaning up getting ready in advance of closing. Also one of our party ordered a casadilla and took a couple of bites and was turned off when he bit into several pieces of grissel and pieces of thick beef fat at least a half inch thick. So he just quit eating his food and requested they remove it from the bill. Evidently a worker didn't prep the meat properly.

The food is delicious. The staff is very friendly. We always enjoy a great meal here.
