El Rancho Mexican - Long Branch

Spotted this place on the way back from the beach and decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did! This cozy restaurant has an inviting atmosphere and we were attended to immediately. I got the shrimp burrito with refried beans, yellow rice, and a super flavorful salad that the chef said was made with raspberry juice, balsamic vinaigrette, and olive oil...and let me just say, that salad was amazing. ? I was expecting your average, run-of-the-mill salad and was totally surprised. 5 stars for that salad! The rice and beans were good too, but the shrimp burrito was the weak link. It wasn't bad but I didn't really taste the shrimp much, it seemed to have gotten overpowered by everything else in it. The chef was a wonderful person and our servers were prompt and polite. Would definitely go back! P.S. Get the tamarind Jarritos, it's sooo good haha

The place is nice, good atmosphere, I tried tacos al pastor, but the truth is, I think it lacks more flavor, something didn't convince me at all, maybe other dishes would be excellent!

El Rancho is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever experienced. The place is fantastic, the staff is amazing, and I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Torta and Chips with Guacamole.

Good food, but the bathroom is always “out of service”

The food was fabulous and the service was even better. I loved the details in the tables and the chairs. Good experience.
