El Rancho Y Pupuseria - Harrisburg

Never been here before. But I travel every week for work. So new restaurants are definitely something I get try. This restaurant looked great. Right next to my hotel. And inside and out was kept up very nice. I got 3 street tacos. A chicken carnitas and beef. They were literally horrible. Flavorless and dry. Burnt and dried out. Awful. The second thing was a steak burrito. Was horrible. So bland and flavorless. Just felt heavy for no reason. Definitely not a place I will try again. And since there is only one or two cars in the parking lot I’d say that a trend.*Edited: the chips and salsa which cost $5.00 extra…are also gross. Boo

Nice atmosphere and good service. Food was delicious my only complaint is that I ordered a Piña Colada with alcohol and it didn’t tasted like it had alcohol and they charged $15 for that piña colada. I will be definitely coming back, but I would not try the Piña Colada again.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. I ordered a frozen Strawberry Margarita and the Taco Platter with Al Pastor tacos. My husband opted for an original Margarita on the rocks and 3 tacos (2 ground beef and 1 chorizo). The waitress was friendly and accommodating, providing excellent service. All the dishes we tried were delicious, and the desserts were exceptional. I enjoyed a large slice of Tres Leche cake, while my husband savored the best Flan he's ever had!

We've eaten at El Rancho a few times and have not been disappointed. The servers are friendly and the food is very good. Nice size portions. My husband gets the grilled tilapia with rice and I usually get either the shrimp or tilapia tacos. The guacamole and chips are good. They added a bar since our last visit which removed a few tables, but that's definitely a plus for people that like to have a drink with their meal.

The only complaint I have was the type of music they had. The food was good but the salsa was bland. It tasted more like tomato sauce with herbs instead of salsa. The chimichanga was good with its cheese sauce. Its pico de gallo with avocado tadted fresh.
