“ My wife was craving fish, so I ordered fried fish plate from el Ranchito. Smelled so good driving home that I regretted not ordering a plate for me too. Luckily, the portions who so big, we both ate until we were full. So tasty too, perfectly fried fish, homemade corn tortillas, rice, salad, and beans. Thanks El Ranchito! ”
“ Legit, authentic, Mexican food. I had the chicharrones y carne asada and it was amazing. Will definitely go back next time I'm in town. ”
“ This place is it for Mexican food, well at least in Tualatin and in what I’ve explored in Portland. How do I know, the birria! That’s how. It takes great skill to make a good birria and this place makes an incredible birria. Hands downs. Speaking of, the hand made tortillas are the size of your face and delicious. ”
“ Only place I’ve found in Tualatin/Tigard area that makes the tortillas fresh on site, very kind staff, been coming here for over a decade ”
“ We love this local spot- gem!- with hearty portions, delicious and authentic foods- hat tip to the wonderful ladies cooking!- and a truly lovely staff ... so lucky to have in our community ... ”
“ Such good food. I got the chicken burrito & my wife got the chicken enchiladas. Both were amazing, the space was clean and the servers were kind. ”
“ This is a hidden gem! Absolutely wonderful food! ”
“ Had the Birria en Caldo from El Ranchito Alegre today for lunch and it was ON POINT. The consome is authentically and richly seasoned and the chunks of meat were huge with a good ratio of meat to fat and bones. There’s nothing better for your soul than a slow-cooked consome. The homemade tortillas and salsas are also delicious. I can’t wait to try everything! ”
