« Magnolia, Seattle Restaurants

i agree with amusedpen: how about some specials.

it is a very friendly restaurant.

they remember what i like to drink.....

It's dependable formula Mexican food for gringos, but the atmosphere and the family-anchored service is some of the best. With places like Senor Moose and La Carta de Oaxaca doing a land-office business, let's hope we seem a little more adventure on the menu soon.

Commonly known as "The Ranch". El Ranchon is my son's favortie place to grab a burger. I love the Ranchon Burrito with a side of Margarita on the rocks.

The food is OK. Kind of bland. Not really like they are cooking for themselves. More lettuce than should be allowed on tostadas. Where's the meat? The staff is consistently friendly and the service is good. One reason to go elsewhere for Mexican. Senor Moose.!

Food is ok... I prefer La Palma on 15th, but the one thing I love about El Ranchon is the guacamole. It is TO DIE FOR. Best guac I've ever had anywhere, EVER. Period. Which is probably why they charge a totally unreasonable amount for a side of it. But I'll usually splurge for it.

I have noticed when I was getting take out there for lunch semi-regularly, the prices seem to change from week to week. Like, I almost thought the clerks just either didn't know what the right prices were or made them up. One day a dish would be a few dollars more or less than the same dish was a week before.

According to http://www.decadeonline.com/main.phtml?agency=skc, at last surprise health inspection this restaurant got 5 points, with 0 high risk violations.

Wow... best score in Magnolia it looks like!

Fantastic food and excellent service.

We love El Ranchon....the food, the service , the owners greeting you and remembering you. The
kind of place every small town needs, and after all, isn't Magnolia really just a small town?

There is no reason to leave Magnolia to get good Mexican or Tex-Mex food.

Probably one of my top five favourite restaurants and we go there alot of the time. Delicious food and excellent staff.

P.S. Cal, you might want to stop insulting others manners and learn how to spell.

Great seafood dishes, which can be hard to find mexican-style! Also a nice variety, even some pretty healthy options. And of course, wonderful friendly staff.

Great lively spot for a quick dinner...all age groups welcome. The food is not fancy but you can count on consistency every time and it's good. The best part is Abraham and his friendly staff. Now there's a business owner who knows how to welcome his customers and make them feel special!

El alimento es fantástico, el servicio es amistoso, las pastillas son frescas, los frijoles dan mí asfixío con gas

Andrea - Thanks, we had to sit next to you while you tought your kids their restaurant manners. Maybe start at home next time!

The best place in town to take your children. We go there about once a week. My children have learned their restaurant manners there and the staff is wonderful and just like family. Can't say enough good things. A real treasure in our neighborhood.
