I was apartment-bound due to shoulder surgery, so decided to get food delivered from El Ranchito. After one hr elapsed and no food delivered, the delivery driver called. He was trying to deliver in CHICAGO, even though the delivery address was OAK PARK. Food was finally delivered over 1.5 hrs after I ordered. It was cold. But hey, that's what microwaves are for.
Unfortunately, hot or cold, the quality of the food was poor. I ordered 7 items; only 2 were edible, and graded a C-. The Ceviche De Canaron was one: The other was Flan, which tasted as if it had been frozen first, and as Rosemary said in Rosemary's Baby when served the mousse, "there is a chalky under-taste."
These following menu items were placed in the garbage after one bite:
Carne Camarones - the meat in this dish tasted like road kill and required a super- sharp knife to cut.
Guacamole - how can you mess up this simple dish? It was simply awful with added tasteless cheese.
Tamales - straw-dry and tasteless.
Salsa - more like taco sauce
Chips - dry and stale
Out of $50.65 Â worth of food, tax, delivery charge, and tip, Â only $17.00 of food could be eaten (actually they are still in fridge and may also be tossed). A waste of time, money, and food...
Amazing. Â We ordered lunch to be delivered at the office and it took them 90 minutes to deliver. Â When the food finally arrived, we were missing a dinner. Â We called them and they said the missing dinner would be sent right away but 30 minutes later, nobody had shown up. Â We had to call repeatedly before we finally got the last dinner delivered 2 1/2 hours after it was originally ordered - COLD and tossed around in its container. Â Don't wast your time with this place. Â Absolutely awful.
