Could not believe the food was so bad in a tourist area. Guacamole was straight from a can or jar; pico de gallo was mushy; salsa was just fair but the chips were good. Buriritos had sauce heavily seasoned with oregano!!!! Never had that in a Mexican restaurant before. Service was also bad. Could not believe how high our lunch... More

I agree with the others about gratuity and not getting a paper bill. However we were aware of this thanks to previous posters on trip advisor. Food was very flavorful and menu was extensive. 27oz margarita special for five bucks.

They do not give you a paper bill.. You tell the cashier what you had she swipes your card , you add tip and after you leave you realize they add gratuity to the bill without telling you!!! Also if you are in a big group they will add other items your friends already paid for to your bill... Who... More

Hi I have a cabin south of Hermann. I stopped to eat in Hermann on the way there. El Ranchito has good Mexican Food and not pricey. Friendly service. I liked their Sunday Buffett of Mexican Food also.

This was the worst food of our trip.Not much to say but it was poorly prepared and no taste.We couldn't even finish our meal.Maybe we hit them at a bad day,but we cannot recommend this restaurant.

Walked in w/7 friends. All motorcyclists. Ate a mundane meal. Taco Bell was just as good. When paying by Debit Card-found a 18% gratuity added. AND I LEFT a tip on the table. Never told us that. We all paid for our meals individually. If they are that crooked or going out of business.....good riddance! Will never be back....CROOKS!!!!!
