A Re-Visit To Los Rancheros

We visited Los Rancheros in September and wanted to go back one more time so that Jeff could try a seafood dish that they offer.  You can read my first review here.

I ordered beef fajitas this time.  They were good, but they would have been better with some cheese.  We have noticed that Mexican food is prepared differently in other parts of the country.  In Houston, they do not serve peppers or sour cream.  I did not ask for cheese for that reason.  I like to eat it as it is served.   It came with rice, beans, sour cream and shredded lettuce.

Jeff ordered the seafood version of Molcajete.  It had fish, crab, shrimp and scallops. It also had onions and peppers.  He was quite impressed with the amount of seafood.  He said it was really good.

We really enjoyed eating here. The staff is friendly.  The food is good and the prices are reasonable.

Los Rancheros

We had not heard a thing about this restaurant, but decided to give it a try.  It turned out to be our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area.

We were very surprised when we walked into a packed restaurant on a Saturday evening.  We really didn't expect that because we had driven by many times and never noticed a crowd.

The service was good, although the food was a little slow coming out.  I noticed that our waiter was not happy about the slow service from the kitchen.  We ate our chips and salsa while we waited, so it wasn't a big deal.

I ordered my regular meal at a Mexican restaurant which is a beef chimichanga.

The chimichanga was a little small, but it was good.  It had chunks of beef which I prefer over ground beef.

Jeff ordered something unusual and I can't remember what it is called.  I have looked over a menu that I found online and unfortunately it only gives names and not descriptions of the food, so I am unable to figure out what he ate.

Isn't it different?  LOL   It has chunks of cheese, beef, chicken, peppers, sausage, shrimp, onion and cacti.  Everything was whole, so he had to slice it himself.  Tortillas are provided to make it into a taco. His meal was huge.  He really enjoyed it.  They also have a seafood version of this and he wants to try that sometime.  Can you believe it?  We are going to repeat a restaurant!
