In 1983, after the success of La Calle Doce, Oscar and Laura Sanchez wanted to open another restaurant but they didn’t want to duplicate their previous success nor did they want to open just another Tex-Mex restaurant. Oscar wanted something that wasn’t found in Dallas, something that reminded him of home. Since both Oscar and Laura are from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon in Northern Mexico, they decided to open a restaurant that specialized in Comida Norteño (northern food) and Tex-Mex featuring dishes such as cabrito, mollejas, and asado de puerco. Today El Ranchito is known for it’s authentic Mexican food, freshly made tortillas and festive atmosphere where mariachis play daily. These elements – the food, the music and the friendly staff – have helped El Ranchito achieve it’s ultimate goal of creating an atmosphere where the customer feels as if they are back home in Monterrey.

    Amazing experience. The service was incredible, as was the food and atmosphere. We dined there for my father in law’s birthday dinner. The only complaint I have is that the waiter recommended the seafood platter appetizer for the table that ended up be over $700 which was a bit of a shock when we had no indication at all on the price.

    Anything and everything we have ordered at The Ranch is always well prepared and very, very good. The chicken fried steak is excellent, steaks are great, and the seafood is equally good. Highly recommend the pecan pie!

    The food was great, everything tasted spot on. But very expensive for a prix fixe 3 course meal. However, the Chef was willing to switch out the cooked carrots for the broccolini that was served with the fish. We were not offered a drink/wine menu. So when asked if we wanted something other than water I just went to a go to Sauv blanc. Then was asked NZ or California. No clue pricing, no clue brand, no clue other options. Also had to ask for bread this year when that was always a staple at the table. That being said, We have been coming here on Xmas Eve for the last 4-5 years (minus last year closed) so we were little disappoint to see you switched over to prix fixed menu it was not advertised when I made the reservation a month or so prior. Being able to order off the menu was the draw for us picking MCH over other steak houses in the area. It’s a special holiday we want to be able to indulge and enjoy the things we don’t typically treat ourselves and family to. Also no valet service this year. Not a huge deal, but it is a nice option when again, you’re dressed up, wearing heels etc for a special occasion and don’t have to scurry across the parking lot in the cold and this year spitting rain.

    We LOVED our Sea Bass and Caesar evening. We substituted Mushroom Risotto for the base and it was so delicious! Our favorite restaurant of all! These guys do it right!
