El Ranchito — Restaurant in Bishop

The staff here is delightful. The old church that the restaurant is located in is rich in history and has such a great ambiance. It's the perfect setting for an inviting meal.

The staff is wonderful, they are always friendly, happy and attentive.

The food is delicious. The menu has so many wonderful choices. We love bringing the entire family here because there is something for everyone.

The chips and salsa are beyond fantastic and pair it with table side prepared quacamole, oh my goodness, you'll be so happy you did.

My teenage granddaughter loves the Chingolingas, and the boys never go away hungry! I have tried nearly every burrito on the menu and love every one of them.

The entre salads are insanely delicious! The Azreca Chicken Salad is my favorite. Tossed in their house made cilantro-lime dressing, with fresh slices of avocado ....

The avocado bowl with carne asada is out of this world amazing!

Excellent.... We've been fishing the Eastern Sierras for 40 years. We love the town of Bishop. We are driving home from Silver Lake and stopped for breakfast at El Ranchito for the first time. We were greeted by our server with "Welcome", what a simple yet warm greeting. My wife ordered pollo and carnitas tacos on fresh homemade tortillas, with rice and beans. She loved them.

At 10 am on a Saturday the place was hopping. The food came out quickly and the entire wait staff were hustling, taking care of all customers. We've eaten at many of the restaurants in Bishop over the years, but this is the only restaurant that I have written a review for. We were not disappointed, and will...

This week, I went in for breakfast twice. The first time, I ordered the machaca with all the possible ingredients: onions, tomatoes, and Serrano chilies. The steak was super-tender, and the heat and flavor from the Serranos was perfect! Whole beans (I love their beans) and piping hot tortillas on the side made this Mexican breakfast heavenly!

The next visit, I ordered what turned out to be a huge amount of delicious food - a 3-egg shrimp omelette, hash bowns, and sourdough toast. Wow! The omelette was fantastic, with loads of shrimp, sauteed peppers, and perfect eggs. I used the homemade chipotle salsa on the eggs and potatoes and was a very happy camper. I could only eat half of everything, so was lucky enough to have it for breakfast at home the next day, too.

Along with their great coffee and fab service, I now see why they're often packed at...
