El Ranchito Bethany Reviews
Hidden jewel behind a plain wrapping. Located in Bethany la across from a dollar store, the building not inviting. But enter trally nice interior and find good food and friendly staff.this is cheese enchiladas. Bethany is a scenic drive on Buncome road from Shreveports industrial loop, or a quick ride from Greenwood.
I got a beef chimichanga with rice and beans omgoodness the chips and salsa is fire 🔥 the best 👌🏾 I recommend this place.

Delicious food and such nice owners. Shrimp enchiladas and tacos are so good . Salsa is freshly made..We really enjoy this place
I have fallen in love with this little hole in the wall! This place is wonderful! Great food! Inexpensive! New Favorite Mexican restaurant
This place is authentic. Being Mexican myself, I know the difference. Once you try their food, you will be back. Gracias por su comida tan Rica nos vemos muy Pronto.
Carne Asada was awesome! Great cooking! Nice atmosphere! Was taken there for dinner by a family member that says it is his favorite restaurant, I know why now! 10 stars!
I love El Ranchito!! Having a great Mexican restaurant mere miles from home is great, the salsa was a bit on the hot side, but I like it that way, I couldn't stop eating it! The Queso Flameado is a must
food was excellent and service was awesome. i had steak fajitas enchiladas with caso on top.was absolutely out of this world. can't beat it any where else.
Best restaurant in this area!! Me and my family love coming here , the staff are super super welcoming and give the best atmosphere when walking in, love love this restaurant!
Their cheese enchiladas are the best i ever had. Friendly service and everyone loved their food. I suggest you eat here if you want great tasting food.
Great place for a quick bite. Traveling from Houston to Sheveport.
It's a 🦄 unicorn on drive from Shreveport to Houston. Good fresh food. Food isn't too spicy or too salty, which is a good thing if you are on a long road trip. 😉Very clean.🥰 Cleanest restaurant we have ever been in. Bathroom was ✨️ sparkling clean. After being away from home and on the road, El Ranchitio was a lovely, friendly, and welcoming rest stop. 😊
Best dining- in with family place, Here in Bethany Shreveport!And also to -go ! My personal favorite is the fajitas !! Great atmosphere , staff is super friendly ! And love the Mexican culture colors inside! Totally coming back ! 5 stars all the way !!!
We love Mrs. Gloria and the crew at El Ranchito! The food is always good, the salsa is spicy and the house dressing is delish! Good prices and a family friendly atmosphere! Hubby recommends the Michaca plate and I love the cheese enchiladas! But everything we have tried is good!
It is usually not busy.It is a family owned, small restaurant.We go often enough they know what we want without asking, including drinks.

Small, cozy restaurant. Friendly service & decent pricing. Good variety on lunch menu with a wide array of food in general.

Salsa tasted mysteriously the same as Pace Picante Walmart salsa.... And sadly the shredded cheese over the refried beans was sooo sour. It tasted exactly like the old bag of shredded cheese I let get moldy at my house previously. It grossed me out. The waitress was perfect. So kind and helpful.

Called and ordered steak fajita nachos, but I only received about 8 chips, microwaved in the styrofoam container. There weren’t any fajita vegetables just a side of lettuce sour cream and guacamole. It was terrible. My kids have cooked better nachos at home in the microwave.

Ordered Togo. Got a table spoon of sasa , and a hand full of chips Ordered fajitas, and got 2 tortillas. The sasa was in a container like the gravy you get with chicken strips , no you actually get more gravy!! I was so excited to get my food , and was such a big dissatisfaction .
Seems to be closed? *or* just not much business and hours are off. Call first...
