We love everything about El Rancho. The beer, the food, the beautiful building, the amazing sunsets and views of the divide. Our favorite servers David and Anna are always fun. Best of all, the restaurant is community and we love sharing it with family and friends.

We got there right at noon on a Thursday. Service and food was very good. Have no complaints. Easy to get to right off of Route 70/Route 40. Going to stop there this summer and set outside with a fantastic view of the Mountains. Sunset should be beautiful.

Just spend a great time at the El Rancho - my husband, I and our befriended couple. We were here the first time today and will certainly be back. The food was great, the beers were from very good to great and the service very friendly, helpful and very obliging! I hope the rating goes up on this place because from all our experience (we are world travelers having seen lots of places to compare to) it absolutely deserves top-rating!
