El Rancho Mexican Restaurant

El Rancho Mexican Restaurant 2747 - 16th Avenue SW Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52404 319-298-8844 http://www.elranchomexican.com/ What a cozy place to eat. This is a great restaurant to go with friends, family, kids, business associates, and anyone else you can think of. The prices are great. When you go in and are seated they bring out a basket of hot tortilla chips along with their salsa. Be warned, you may want to ask for some ice water right away, well at least for those of you like me that are accustomed to hot salsa. You can also request to get their Cheese Sauce to dip the chips in, but it does cost $2.50 for it. But SO WORTH IT! I love the cheese sauce, it is to die for. The food is always served hot and fresh. I ordered a chimichanga and LOVED it! For kids meals they have the normal tacos/burritos and also burgers or chicken strips, which is good as some children won't eat mexican food. I highly recommend El Rancho Mexican Restaurant! I am positive you will leave feeling VERY full! Make sure you try their bean (refried beans with white cheese melted), it is TERRIFIC! more

El Rancho is the best Mexican restaurant in Cedar Rapids! The family that owns the restaurant is very friendly and since we are regulars there they treat us as family. We have always received excellent service and the food is very authentic and tastes wonderful. The prices are cheap too considering restaurant prices. My family consists of the four of us and our bill is usually about $20 and that includes leftovers to take home. I love their salsa. It's spicy but it's the best in town. You have to give El Rancho a try! more

What more can you say! This is the perfect place to go with your children and family or out for a night on the town with friends. They have great mexican food for a fairly low price. They have the always reliable margaritas to put just the right spin on your evening. We frequent there often and recommend that you do the same! more

these guys have a great fajita meal.. it not only tastes great but has enough in one serving to feed a couple of people so its great to share. the servers here are also really nice and helpful too. Also, they cheese dip for the chips and the taco salads are to die for. I've been to Mexico many times and this place is the closest I've come to good mexican food! more

This restaurant has some of the best food. You never have much of a wait to be seated and they have just finished new construction on the restaurant for additional space. The amount of food that you receive is adequate for the amount that you are charged. Some of the meals you actually are getting too much food to consume in one meal. This is a family friendly restaurant and they offer kids sized meals for the little ones. There is also a full bar to order from also. more
