We came here because we were looking for a quick dinner and wanted to support a minority-own def business. I had the Tipico 3 (pupusa, steak, rice, beans, and salad) plus as Chile Rellno. Let me begin with saying that I'm always grateful for complimentary chips and salsa. The chips at El Pollo Ranchero taste store bought and are not special (e.g. thin, warm, dusted with chili lime), but the salsa tasted fine. The Chile Relleno was okay (see photo). I liked how cheesy the dish is, but would have liked more sauce. As for the Tipico entree, the pupusa was my favorite part of the meal. I got the revuelta (pork and cheese) and it was meaty, cheesy, and piping hot. I did have to ask for the curtido and salsa, which was weird. The salsa also didn't taste like any Salvadoran salsa roja I've had before, so that was also a bit of a surprise for me. The steak was a nice petite size and cooked to medium well, which was more over cooked than I would have liked. I'm glad it came with a simple salad and quarter of an avocado. The rice and beans tasted very Salvadoran and the slice of fresh queso was a nice touch. I will the say, for what this place lacks in some of its flavors, it made up with service. The two servers who took care of us were attentive and very warm.

I love the food from here. But I have one problem I ask for a fajita and this is what I get. Not sure what it was. Then everything else is good fast service and everything else.

This is a very low key, colorful, and tasteful place. Great for a party of one or twenty. Great customer service, and a lot of food as well. Take a break and enjoy it! Their flan dessert is a pleasant surprise.

Been going to this place for years, ever since I came to the US, I've always received good service and the food is always delicious. Went with my dad and husband recently and my husband ordered a steak fajita and he received something that looked more like bistec with tomatoes sauce on top, back in the day that's not how it was. I guess they changed it, other then that everything is always great😊😊

We placed a large order for our daughters graduation party. We frequent here so we know that we always enjoy the food, The staff was extremely helpful in placing the order even helping us get the food to the car, really above and beyond. And everyone at the party was more than impressed with the food and wanted to know where we got it. So I would definitely recommend if you’re just going to eat for the day or if you need a large party done

This is a cool place for a low maintenance meal in a clean and very friendly environment. Their home made flan is to-die-for. Highly recommended

I love the food here! I have been a loyal costumer with this restaurant for 2 years now. The staff there have really disappointed me. Instead of making my food in a timely fashion manner the lady in the kitchen with other staff members decided to come walk behind the bar just to talk about me in Spanish while the whole staff looked at me and my boyfriend. I’m bringing them business and yet they wanna talk about things that’s none of their business while the owner or that’s who I think it was stood there at the front cashier just listening. I would of never had a problem with this restaurants if they knew how to mind their own business and focus more on cooking my food. I really love this place but I don’t think I can even dine in there anymore. Very unprofessional!
