Default El Ranchito

My fiancee recently ate at El Ranchito, a place he's enjoyed several times before. While eating the chips, he noticed that several had salsa on them.
Picking one up, it seemed that someone had already taken the first bite! He asked for the manager. She informed him that she was the manager. After showing her several of his chips with dried salsa on them, he asked if they served chips left over from other customers. Her response was, "Wait just a minute." She came back with who he assumed was the real manager. He asked him the same question. They immediately had a language barrier. He removed his chips, replaced them with a fresh bowl and gave him his bill.

OH GET OUT!!!! that was one of my favorite resturants for my south of the border taste buds..
If I recall it changed ownership several years ago..back then it was the best but I have noticed that it has gone down hill since the young brothers were in charge...
now that is just nasty if that is the case...mamacita was always there to bring you fresh chips and salsa..it's been a while since I have been there due to the fact it is just not the same...since the brother's left

Ate here tonight. Chips & sausa were hot. Chicken Burrito Deluxe and chimichaunga were ok with beans & rice. Service was good. Food not as good as place we used to go to in KY but still.... We'll go back.
