El Rancho: A Taste of Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Burnet, TX

It was great! Had a good server too! Very fast service as we went in for late lunch.

Best Mexican food in the area. The tortillas are not made in house which is disappointing coming from San Antonio but no one does that in this area. The food is good and the service is good also. Drinks were great! Would recommend the steak and shrimp plate!

The food and service was excellent. Horchata on point! The restaurant itself is a little old-school and has cool wall paintings. The main problem is that it needs to be kept clean better. Especially the seating area and bathrooms. Food is good but cleanliness is not matching.

Tasty food for reasonable prices, plus some alcoholic drink choices. I have been there twice; the first evening there was only couple other tables taken, but today it was almost fully packed. Both times waiting times were reasonable. Both times I didn't have any reason to complain.

Great food, legit Mexican, however many of the typical should-be-gluten free items are not. My son is gluten sensitive and all he ate was cheese enchiladas and he said his tummy felt just like he had gluten. The rice is definitely not gluten free and the French fries are a little sus. If you're gluten sensitive, consider a different place.

I had asada tacos. Very good. The corn tortillas held up well. They stuffed them. Their breakfast tacos are also great. Can't go wrong breakfast or dinner.

This was our first time eating here. Small yet not to confined had room to walk through. I had the # 9 2 chicken flautas, 1 tostada, rice& refried beans. Flautas was tasty, & not too dry . Tostada was above average . Rice and beans was better than most . My husband ordered mini street tacos . ( He always orders the fajita quesadillas everywhere we go I’m the one who majority of the time order the street tacos. LOL GUESS it must be this beautiful weather Mini tacos were delicious he said. We were passing through. I do know we will take that route coming from San Antonio 281 all the way til Burnet. Staff were kind, and attentive. Oh one last thing very good sweet tea!

We routinely drive to Burnet JUST to eat at El Rancho we live in Lago Vista. It is always worth it - great food at a fair price. This restaurant is on the smaller side, but good things come in small packages. Wait staff is warm and friendly. Their #47 Alambres is my go to and has been for years. I like what I like.
