El Ranchero Mexican

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant!!! I live in Colonial Beach, only minutes away from three Mexican restaurants, but I happily drive 20 minutes to El Ranchero in King George. They're the only one to make the Swiss style enchiladas (with perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs on top). It sounds weird but it's actually magical!! I don't know how to spell their actual name (sounds like enchiladas swee-sus) It's a beautiful place with wood hand-carved and painted booths and chairs and a colorful outdoor eating patio. Very clean and pleasant and always a comfortable temperature and laid back atmosphere. They are very kid friendly and our four kids always look forward to eating here. They have a kid's menu and a vegetarian section and they're very accommodating when you want to make something vegetarian that isn't (we're all vegetarians). The staff is so sweet and are always smiling and cheerful. And I love you never have to wait a long time for your food. They're super quick to bring you delicious chips salsa, take your order, and bring your food. Great turnaround!! We've never been disappointed eating here. Writing about them makes me want to go there now.

Fun place to eat with friends. Authentic. Staff very friendly. Very affordable.

The staff was very friendly and the food was the best recommend 100%.

First time visiting this establishment to meet some friends. Service was okay not great. Refills were non existent and it took three tries to get a soda water. And we had to ask a few times for things like our cheese sauce order.That said, the food was pretty good and everyone enjoyed their meals. The aforementioned cheese sauce was a bit too watery but the taste was right. The drinks are HUGE and quite tasty.When in the area, we would stop in again.

Excellent food, good service, very traditional atmosphere. The food was absolutely worth the stop if you're feeling like Mexican!
