Booked 3 times today
In 1983, after the success of La Calle Doce, Oscar and Laura Sanchez wanted to open another restaurant but they didn’t want to duplicate their previous success nor did they want to open just another Tex-Mex restaurant. Oscar wanted something that wasn’t found in Dallas, something that reminded him of home. Since both Oscar and Laura are from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon in Northern Mexico, they decided to open a restaurant that specialized in Comida Norteño (northern food) and Tex-Mex featuring dishes such as cabrito, mollejas, and asado de puerco. Today El Ranchito is known for it’s authentic Mexican food, freshly made tortillas and festive atmosphere where mariachis play daily. These elements – the food, the music and the friendly staff – have helped El Ranchito achieve it’s ultimate goal of creating an atmosphere where the customer feels as if they are back home in Monterrey.

    Sweet Jesus! This place was soooooo good. We stumbled on here actually when where we were planning to go was close. From the entrance, the hostess was friendly and kind. We were quickly seated and almost immediately greeted by our waiter. The food was phenomenal! My husband and I are both from the islands and have come to expect subpar jerk food at best however this place outdid themselves. Literally our new favorite spot in Deep Ellum. The drinks were phenomenal and the service even better. To top everything off, there are some cute backdrops in different parts of the restaurant that make it Instagram worthy. 10/10

    An incredible experience- highly recommend the cornbread, deviled eggs, halibut, and lamb pasta, but I can assure you there are no bad options on the menu. The service was exceptional and warm- wish we lived closer so we could experience this on the regular. Thank you Roots Southern Table for a memorable dinner that we will be talking about for years to come!

    I was able to pre celebrate my birthday. The area was very nice, ambience was great. Loved the playlist while everyone and Jame and eat while still having class. Food was surprisingly great although not hot as I would like but no major complaints. Drinks were great as well. Our waiter was excellent and even surprised me with a birthday dessert and sparklers which I was not expecting. I will return back for sure. I initially was scheduled to have my dinner on that Saturday but was cancelled with no notice so I did have to call and find out why which the young lady was able to tell me that someone had booked the entire restaurant. It would have been nice if the reason could have been included or a posting on one of the social media accounts … and then perhaps some type of accommodation or free item for the inconvenience.
