Reviews for El Rancho Viejo in Philadelphia, PA
Absolutely loved our food we had delivered to our Airbnb. The staff we interacted with were extremely friendly and helpful. The... grilled chicken tacos were perfection! The side of rice was delicious and a generous portion. Also, the best salsa verde I'veever had! And we even had enough food left over that we ate it the next day for lunch. I can't say enough good things! Thankyou! Read more
Food really good. Crowded so limited seating options, but staff was doing their best to get people in and seated quickly. Really... nice and attentive waitress. Sat outside. Not well-lit or fans for hot evening. Had ropa vieja which was really good. my motherhad the pork chop (chuleta) dish which she liked. My daughter had the steak dish which she liked. Had bacalaitos for appetizer. Not good ... could be more fish on batter, bigger, and lighter....not as oily. Good location between Marriott and Best Western.Block from the beach in Condado. Across from cvs and Walgreens so a bit busy which can be good entertainment if like peoplewatching as eat. Mosquitoes were biting...were bug spray if you're prone to bug bites as I am. Read more
The Mexican food flavor was very delicious and the service is very fast. The flavored water are natural. One of the best... Mexican flavor that I have tried in USA. Congratulations to the business. Read more
Wasn?t sure what to expect given the initial appearance of the location but boy was everything phenomenal. Service was busy with... other takeout orders but they were nevertheless extremely nice and constantly assured us of their attention. Portion sizes werea lot bigger than I expected and everyone in my party of 5 left full and super satisfied. Seating is limited and small butsomehow the ambiance works for those nostalgic for a traditional hole in the wall Mexican food experience. Would definitelyrecommend for an authentic Mexican feeling.

I found this restaurant today and a friend of mine and I decided to stop. Everyone there was very nice and quick to respond. We... didn't have to wait long for our food, only a few minutes. They brought out chips and salsa since we ate in. Service: Great.attentive waitress. Refilled salsa immediately. Stopped and asked us if we needed anything multiple times. Veryfriendly. Food: Much better than expected especially the portions. - My friend liked the beef taco more than the tinga. Beef isvery flavorful he said. But both were fresh. - My ribeye torta was delicious, with the ribeye being very large. The bread wasvery fresh. Only thing I would say is ribeye had a lot of chewy fat pieces so to get rid of that before hand. But honestlyflavor was great. - my pork+ chorizo taco was spicy definitely tasted the chorizo in it. But very fresh as well. Price: $Cheap. Parking: Street residential, might be hard to find parking. We had to park 3 blocks and walk. Would I come back? Yes. Read more
Some of the best steak tacos ever! Also their tostada was amazing. Chips and sauces were fresh everything we tried was top... notch. And they are not skimpy with portions you get more than your money worth. Completely satisfied would recommend anyone whohas not to try them asap! Read more
Hands down the best tacos in all of Philly! Authentic flavors and ingredients and incredibly good pricing for the city. Would've... had pictures if I could have contained my excitement to eat the food. Extremely tender pork in the tacos and the steakquesadilla is easily the best I've had. Simple ingredients. Friendly service. Will definitely be back! Read more
This is a tiny local restaurant with the warmest people and delicious food. Try not to spoil the appetite with chips and dips... (come free of charge to all tables). Make sure to have cash, as they do not accept credit cards. Read more
