Amazing down home Mexican food. You know its good when the menus are in spanish. Small place with BIG taste! Great portions and good prices. A hidden gem!
Enjoying Huevos Rancheros and freshly made corn tortillas at a familiar restaurant in Santa Ana El Pollo Ranchero! My Buddy had the Rojos Chilaquiles and a Bowl of Caldo de Pollo. So Hot n Delicious. Highly recommended.
I’ve been coming to this spot for over 10 years now and the food has never disappointed me. Their freshly made tortillas complement any dish they serve. If you want authentic Mexican food with a homemade taste you must try this spot. During my last visit I had a wet carne asada burrito and the sauce was amazing! If you are ever in the mood for cafe de olla or a Mexican beer, they have you covered. Although the ambiance is nothing to rave about, the food taste and quality will have you returning for more.

Great customer service, and the coffee fabulous and don't say about the food it was amazing food freshly made. Loved it sure going back.
Their cafe de olla reminds me of what my grandma used to make when I'd be visiting Mexico in the summer. This was their toro burrito. Very deliciously smothered in chorizo, queso and salsa, stuffed with carne asada, frijoles de la olla and cilantro and cebolla! Their tortas are also soooooo good, their carne asada and Al pastor are the best! Been there like 7 times in the last 2 months lol definitely a place worth checking out!
