After a long day at Legoland we decided to have a good Mexican dinner and it did not disappoint. It's only 10 minutes away from the park and a great bargain. The food was excellent and it is an open kitchen. The decor is beautiful. I would eat here again and again! Our server was a sweetheart and I can't stop thinking about how good and savory the food is. Thank you so much!

Friendly and prompt service, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere for families. Since burgers were not on the menu, our picky eater tried something new that was well received. The meals were all delicious, and we had plenty of leftovers. The desserts are authentic - well worth a visit. Our kids asked if we could go again - that is, as all parents know, the greatest compliment that I can give to a restaurant.

Went for lunch after being turned away at the new German restaurant. The Margarita's were some of the best we have had as well as the food. Will definitely be back!!!! Great job!!!

Excellent entrees and trupu outstanding deserts, great service and bright appealing decor. A real gem, I have few nitpicks and many reasons to come back. Having had authentic Mexican farmer mole I can say this is the best restaurant mole I've ever had. The Tres leches cake was also a massive stand out for quality and taste.

For years we have considered looking for food outside of the Lego Land campus for the entire family. Today, I am happy to say we have finally taken the leap into Goshen and El Rancho was the best Mexican Food experience that we have had in a while, if not, ever. Everything we ordered was freshly made and full of flavor. Portions were considerably large without sacrificing quality. Their chips, salsa, and guac to start were a real hit. Our entrees -- Chicken Quesadilla, Steak and Ground Beef Tacos, and kid's chicken tenders were exquisite. My oldest son (9) said their chicken tenders were the best he's had. Their dessert menu has so many unique options and the two we had were amazing -- Tres Leches and Chocolate Mousse Cake. The ambiance makes you feel like you are truly south of the border. Uniquely hand-painted chairs add to the vibrant cultural motif throughout. The staff was grade A. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine at a great value for the entire family look no further than El Rancho. Highly recommend!

We visited during the lunch window. It was busy and only one wait staff. Food was good. Mom liked her drink. My drink was okay. I suggest you bring cash, there is a charge if you pay with a credit card.
