  Great food. Service was medicocre, but the food made up for it. I had picadillo (shredded beef) nachos. It was on the table in no time, and it was hot! I loved it. The salsa is great too!

  There aren't many dining options between the Columbia River and Spokane, whether you take the slow scenic route (US 2) or the fast and fugly route (I-90).
  
  You're looking at eating at sketchy no-name restaurants or chains. However, occasionally there are diamonds in the rough, and we found one at El Ranchito.
  
  We pulled in here on a hot August day on our way to Montana. We could have lasted until Spokane, but decided to get an early lunch.
  
  While El Ranchito's menu is mainly "standard Mexican food" (combinations, enchiladas, and a few Mexican specialties), the execution is top notch and the service is swift and friendly. I got the chicken enchiladas and my dining companion got the vegetarian (spinach) enchiladas. Both were very fresh and good. Moreover, the prices were 15-20% less than we'd pay for equivalent Mexican food in Central WA (Wenatchee, Yakima) or Seattle for that matter.
  
  If you're passing through Davenport and you like Mexican food, GO HERE. That is all.

  Very small and cute, but then again so is Davenport. They lost a start for giving us brown guacamole.

  Traveling HWY2 between Spokane and Wenatchee and looking for a spot to stop for dinner.  I was in the mood for Mexican, however a Yelp search came up dry in this area.  Hit up Google and El Ranchito had two positive reviews so I gave it a try.
  
  Heading out of Davenport the last place on the left is El Ranchito.  Inside it's small and basic, but I wasn't there for the ambiance.  The waiter was very nice and I settled on the bacon wrapped shrimp which is one of my favorite dishes to order.  The food came fast and hot and was very enjoyable.  I would have liked to see more cheese on the dish, but otherwise delicious.
  
  I stopped by on a Friday and the place was full with locals, seems to be a very popular spot in town.  If rolling through town in the future I will stop again!
