I had eaten here years ago and it wasn't the best. We decided to try it again since our favorite El Ranchito in Bolivar TN has closed down. And much to our surprise the El Ranchito in Henderson had very much improved!! We enjoyed our beef enchilada plates so much that we went back the next night and got them again!! We called in our ordered and picked it up at the drive thru window. Food was excellent, yummy, and warm. And the employees were very nice and the prices were reasonable. Thank you El Ranchito Henderson Tn!!!

We were passing through and stopped here for lunch. Really enjoyed my time here. The waiter was on point from the food to drinks/refills to helping with what we needed for our kids. Definitely recommend!!!

Gus was great! We're new to town and menu not on the Net. So he asked what we liked and made it perfect! Hard day of getting our new home situated. But all good with a great Mexican dinner! Thank you Gus and can't wait to dine in!

Recently got a few upgrades to their experience. New menus and more staff. I can guarantee good chips and salsa every time. Their wet burritos are excellent, great prices and it's a pleasant place to chat over a meal. Also odd thing on the menu is french fries topped with melted cheese. Great choice if you find yourself not quite full.

Wonderful! Had a Shrimp Chimichanga on my lunch break and it was great!! Ordering was very easy also just called in and they took my order and told me how long it would take. It was good to see the man was wearing gloves and mask when he came to give me my order. Love our local businesses and El Ranchitos!!
