El Rancho II

Cars in the parking lot, thought it was closed down, but NO, it's still rocking. Definitely to return for a good mex meal w/out the wait.

It was good if you are a cheese lover. For me, the cheese was just too much but the flavors were very good. Also got tacos (amazing) and something with shrimp, IIRC?

Stopped here after work, starved and craving some good Mexican food. From the outside it looks like an average Fremont storefront. Inside it is anything but. Walking in I was greeted almost immediately and told to sit anywhere I liked. A menu, chips and salsa showed up shortly after I sat down. The salsa was loaded with fresh cilantro and onion. Not the seasoned tomato sauce you get at some places. I ordered the Bonitas, which is pretty much a loaded nachos and when I say loaded...it was loaded. As hungry as I was I ate half and tapped out. The waitress was super sweet and checked on me multiple times to make sure I was ok. My drink never got much below the halfway point before she refilled it. Food taste was good, lettuce was really fresh and crisp. I was by myself so I watched how other customers were treated and it was the same all around. I highly recommend giving them a try, I know I'll be back.

The best I have had in a long time. Going from South American to San Diego or Cozumel. The food was outstanding! Will eat again. Get the Verde sauce! Everything we ate was outstanding!
