Mi Ranchito Cafe

Often discovered by the roadside, and more often passed by with only a passing glance, are some of the best camouflaged facades. My girlfriend would like me to begin a food and service blot titled "...there? ....really?!?  ", being that is my usually reply to her suggested food or miscellaneous road trip stops. As was the case slowly driving through Taft. The dirt parking lot, nearly full with work trucks is always a good sign during the lunch hour. I managed to turn a "blind eye " from the flattened cat laying lifeless near the employee entrance and bravely entered, noticing the old fashioned fly strips (nearly at capacity) dangling in all windowpanes, repeating to myself ".....here? ....really?!? ".
The service was prompt and allowed me to practice my Spanish language skills, which shortly more closely resembled sign language. Chips and house made salsa started our lunch and we had the finish the last of the salsa refill (last of four refilled) before we could leave. The food was authentic and you are able to taste the dedication to really good food (and the lard)  in every bite. The facility was very clean the service was friendly, even to the obvious out of town er (us).  And, to add to my peace of mind and digestion, the "flat cat" remains, remained.
