A great find on a road trip. The food was fantastic and the chili was on point. You won't regret a meal here

My wife and I just happened to jumped off the interstate to grab a quick dinner before getting home to Los Lunas. Great food, great friendly service, and very inexpensive. We will probably be going back to Milan, 2 1/2 hour round trip, just to eat at the El Ranchero Cafe. Thank you everyone at El Ranchero Cafe for the amazing experience

It was ok. Floor is dirty, cold inside. Had the enchiladas, combination plate & 2 others dishes. No meat or cheese on enchiladas and taco. For 4 people, $70, small portions. I would not go again.

Super small town mentality. Food was decent... nothing to scream about. Dirty tables.... had to sit and wait for them to bus and clean them. Food was decent.... not the worst... but no where close to the best. That's all I have to say about the place.....

Fun restaurant with Route 66 history. Good Mexican food and a drive up window. Not a drive-thru...you order ahead and just drive up. Kind of fun. We didn't do this but it was fun to see.

The steak dish and especially the red chili were excellent. Family run and busy. This was a great find of a restaurant!

Bryanna and Jasmine and staff at el ranchero made my first visit a memorable one. The food is superb and I met some very nice locals from the community that shared their history of the restaurant. I highly recommend and encourage others to try the food here. I will be going back for sure. Thank you very much for your hospitality and professionalism. Very respectfully, TLT
