El Ranchito Taco Shop — Restaurant in Temecula

Good quality ingredients. Loved that their wrapping process is actually done RIGHT! Foil that doesn't just crumpled up into nothing the moment it is unraveled. Another layer of wrap after the foil. It actually keeps your food warm for HOURS! (If it isn't sitting open obviously. But if you gotta take a bite really quick after you get it and then wrap it back up quickly then next time you open it (if within the next few hours) you can still feel some of the warmth in there! Very good wrapping - actually done with care! 👍🏻

Got a breakfast burrito with bean cheese & egg. I would have given 5 stars on my review, however, at some point while eating the burrito, there were all of a sudden really really hard pieces of either the scrambled egg, potato, or maybe some other mystery chunks from the grill. (😖) It honestly hurt at first as I bit down because I wouldn't be expecting anything crunchy or hard in that kind of burrito.

But it was only for a few bites but it did gross me out a little bit. Thank goodness it was just a tiny bit. But still. Definitely gotta dock a star for that. But hopefully the more I come here, the more positive experiences I will have and I'll eventually upgrade my review to 5 stars when that negative experience is a thing of the past and the good memories...

Overpriced. Not clean. Not satisfied.

California burrito 10 bucks. If I'm paying 10 bucks for a burrito, I'm thinking it's going to be pretty big. It wasn't. The majority of the size was tortilla rolled up and tucked inside. Hardly any meat. Was a really poor excuse for a burrito.

I also ordered a large horchata. 3 bucks. I watched every girl with every order use the cup to scoop ice from the ice bin. Not only is this incredibly unsanitary but they are the cashiers so they handle money and then all the dirt from there goes right into the ice bin. Additionally, the cup is smashed where the brim meets the ice so the lid won't go into the top correctly and this will leave a gap that will spill liquid if you tilt it on the side it's smashed. Most of the customers while I was there were construction workers and they had dirty hands that the cashiers didn't even wipe their hands in between orders. So nasty. I tried to ignore that and give the burrito a fair chance but it was not good either.

The sauces they offer are very basic. Nothing special at all. Not even sure they are made in the store.

The seating area itself is very crammed and not comfortable at all.

I would not...

I’m not sure what’s going on there recently but this is the second time I was ordered there and it has a very odd taste and between the donuts shop next to it that smells absolutely disgusting and now the food taste like something I can’t even say. I normally used to love the food . No It taste dirty or like something being hidden . Like literally the smell of the food stayed on me until I had to change my clothes myself and my daughter. I don’t know if it’s something in the walls but this taste and smelled like dead carcass. I swear I’m only posting this to say that something is off if the donuts place smell horrible ( always has smelled foul) . While at the postal place after I ordered my food when the door opens the other patrons were saying how the it smells horrible they were polite said it was the grease from the Mexican restaurant. I don’t know what else to say but please investigate and do not service anyone until you do . I have left good reviews for you guys also but please get this checked out I was literally getting sick from the smell of it being in my car on my clothes and everyone...
