Taqueria La Rancherita — Restaurant in Dunlap

We stayed in Dunlap with a friend for 2 weeks and this became our go to spot.

Loved to see an authentic Mexican establishment with authentic options for the true connoisseurs.

The Mexican waters (aguas) are yummy here - the Jamaica (Hibiscus) is our favorite with the Horchata (Rice and Cinnamon) being 2nd.

We were excited to see the chile toreados (grilled jalapeños) on menu - they were so delicious and the cebollines (grilled spring onions) these are hard to catch on menus and are so melt in your mouth perfect.

The choriqueso dip can be hit or miss on the cheese to sausage ratio but always good in flavor.

The chunky guacamole was just right and definitely a must to order.

One day we ordered the kids menu cheeseburger since the kids were in the mood and we will definitely be skipping this option - it wasn't good at all.

The Al pastor nachos were great! - I added the house guacamole to this dish and it was fabulous.

All the Mexican style street tacos (small corn tortilla shell served with meat option and fresh cilantro and diced onions) were fantastic as well - a couple times they were too salty but forgivable.

The alambre was a big portion and delectable as well, especially that...

Found this authentic gem in Dunlap Tennessee, the service was spectacular, the food was extraordinary, and the establishment was like a homecoming for me. As soon as I walked in I got seated right away, the decoration was really brightful and it reminded me of my hometown of Mexico! I ordered a chicken torta, one pastor taco, one carne asada taco, and one carnitas taco, and let me tell you the authenticity was the spectacular, the tortillas were handmade and I also got a fruit cucumber water (agua de pepino) which was mouthwatering! The hot sauces were also made from scratch. The chips and salsa were also splendid. As a proud Mexican I can put a stamp on the authenticity of the food so if you're looking for real authentic food it's just the place to go whenever you are in Dunlap...

Taqueria La Rancherita;

We enjoyed lunch here the other day, on the recommendation of a dear friend. it’s our first visit but certainly won’t be our last. The food was great! The service couldn’t have been better!! With the addition, they now have plenty of seating. Thank y’all for giving us a great place to enjoy a meal.

This has quickly become our “go to” restaurant for Mexican food. Both the food and service is always the best. But I’ve got to say that last evening (21JUL21), we were served by Carlos, and I can’t help but mention that very few times in my life have I ever received the level of Execptional service that Carlos provided for our table. He was so attentive to our every want. Carlos is an excellent server, who obviously enjoys his job caring...
