Rancho Alegre

Came in for lunch on a Tuesday, we ordered tacos. The place was quiet and very small now. Tacos were a bit on the pricey side at like $ 1.85 each. Which isn’t bad but I think you can get tacos for like $ 1 anywhere and they were really small. The meat was salty, we ordered tacos de asada. I got tacos to go and chicken tacos too they looked way better cause they had lettuce and tomatoes. The food is still authentic and the ladies behind the counter are very nice.
They have a little salsa bar and all the fixins for tacos so I guess I cant complain. lol.
They have sodas in a little fridge and lots of items to choose from.
I will still come to this place for a quick lunch because it is clean and I like the feel.

They have the best menudo. I have also tried a few different menu items and they were also very good. Yum!

It is the best Mexican food hands down in this area. I have been going there for 10 years and the same ladies have been cooking. I am Mexican American and when it comes to Mexican foods I know what I’m talking about. Also do not go to Tia Maria’s …it’s like going to a slop house.

I like the atmosphere here. Everytime I visit there’s the same guy selling Mexican CD’s out of his van in the front, the inside décor is a little beat up, graffti is scrawled into the tables… what’s not to love!!! «Dad, what’s that say?» my 7 y.o. asks pointing on the table. «It say’s, stupid bitch», I explain.
Usually I go on Saturday or Sunday, because I really like the menudo and there’s a nice make-​up display if I suddenly decide to start wearing mascara. No… I’m not kidding. It all adds to the sense of the informal family run business, its like eating at your friend’s house (the one that sells Amway crap).
Seriously though, the food is always good. I like eating in a place that feels authentic and I’ve never actually seen non Mexican patrons.
Ok, so maybe I have strange standards for a restaurant, but I like the place… and that’s my opinion.
