El Rancho Grande

This place has a soft spot in my heart, been coming since I was a child and my parents came to eat here since the 70's. Nacho (the tall gentleman) is always friendly, takes a quick order, and preps your food. You're here for an affordable, genuine home style meal, taquitos in particular. Prices have closely crept up over the years but you can get a meal for around $12 (including small drink). I usually order a #4 - 2 taquitos 1 cheese enchilada, beans with cheese and iceberg salad with tomatoes, and add an extra order of taquitos just to make my trip with it. It's a small dine-in with quick turnover on the tables. All meals are made as soon as you order so everything is fresh. My only complaint is that the sauces are not spicy, very mild, BUT they have good flavor. Tacos, bean and cheese burritos, enchiladas, sopes, quesadillas, and tostadas. Make sure to wash it all down with an horchata or Jamaica. Be warned, parking is a pain in the general area. There's a small parking lot directly behind Rancho Grande but they charge by time if you just want to make a quick stop (and I mean quick) to avoid the $15+ flat fee parking lots around.

There are many taquerias on Olvera Street, but our favorite has been El Rancho Grande. Their Taquitos and Guacamole Sauce are the best in my opinion. Their tacos and enchiladas are also very good. The service is always good and they’re usually packed, just wait your turn for a table and be ready to enjoy delicious Taquitos. There is a small lot close to the entrance on one side and two big lots on the other side.

It’s looks pretty longtime of his owner still same person ever since my first came here a El Rancho Grande restaurant on Olivera Street in Spring of 1993s, He’s been here almost over than years because of his family business was here, ( I Dunno 🤷‍♂️, I thinks possible dat early in 1930s) Right here have a too small space with eight tables. Depending how popular gets nearly crowded on weekends and less crowds of the weeks. I liked here because it’s inexpensive worthy food really deliciously it! Yum! 😋

I have been coming to this location On Olvera street sine 1974 With my parents, And then I started bringing my family to the next place and have always enjoyed the experience in the food. But last week I came here and I ordered the same thing I ordered every Single time, and i must say, the avocado sauce was bland. The beans didn't taste right? And there was no salad on my plate, That usually comes to the combination plate. The taco was not seasons very well and the most disappointing Thing was the hot sauce they had changed. It no longer had the Oriegano spice that made it unique. I even asked the owner of the restaurant if they had changed the sauce and he said yes. I will always come back. I just hope they don't change anything else.
