El Ranchero - Mexican restaurant in Spencer - 405 E Franklin St, USA

If you enjoy Mexican food and drink this is your choice to go. The wife and I were impressed with the layout of the restaurant and the decorations. It might be a little over the top for some. The food was good and I enjoyed the 'fajita' lunch special. The wife had the tacos and rice lunch. They have several different brands of hot sauces to make you feel at home.

Greatrestaurant. We ate there two times while we were at McCormick's Creek State Park over the weekend. Staff is very friendly. Order came out very quickly. And the food tasted great. A real hidden gem in Spencer.

El Ranchero has made itself a staple in Spencer and for good reason. The atmosphere is absolutely incredible, like an overwhelming art museum and an ocean of colors and details. The food is always hot and fresh, the staff is lively and welcoming, and the price is absolutely affordable. I ordered the pollo con queso and was surprised to see three chicken breasts smothered in bubbling hot cheese as opposed to just one or two like I would have received in Bloomington's Mexican restaurants. The chips were crisp yet buttery and hot. The salsa was very flavorful. And the entire atmosphere has the perfect summer night magic.

It was a pleasant experience to eat at this place, I visited this town for work and I ate here twice, both times, food was good, portions were big enough, service was good.

Having lived in Corona, NY for 7 years, I'm quite accustomed to authentic Latino cuisine, and this establishment definitely fits the bill. Tasty, authentic Mexican food in a traditional, colorful setting. The dinner plates are huge!

Great place for some lunch or dinner! So delicious. The server was funny and took good care of us. Specials are very good.

Wives taco salad shell was burnt My chimachanga was to much steak and not enough cheese sauce had red sauce on one half I didn't like cheese was melted friends burrito supreme was dry and the other chicken chimachanga with cheese the chicken was tough 😫 service was very slow there wasn't hardly any customers. This was last Saturday evening in Spencer if I was asked back to eat I would rate 2 out 10 and probably not go to this Mexican restaurant

We stumbled upon this Mexican restaurant while on a motorcycle trip and the food was amazing. Great service and a cool atmosphere too. Highly recommend!
