El Ranchero Mexican Grill & Bar

MARK HERNANDEZ

Stopped at the Loves truck stop across the street and seen this place and decided to give it a try. The chips, salsa and guac were awesome! I also loved how my soda was served in an ice cold mug! I ordered the super combination which was alot of food, my favorite was the taco, tamale and enchilada out of the 5 but overall decent food for a good price.

My family and I tried this restaurant on a whim. To be honest, Tennessee and/or Kentucky are not really known for anything "authentic" outside of fried chicken or BBQ. I have been constantly disappointed in what is considered "Mexican food" out here and horrified that a lot of the demographic REQUIRE some nasty white goop that they even consider "queso". 😳🤮 Needless to say, to find any good eateries without names like, "El Cilantro, Uncle Julios, The Border Cantina, Cinco de Mayo", just to name a few, 🤦🏽‍♀️ adds insult to injury but I digress. We stopped at El Ranchero because our trip to Springfield was cut short due to everything being closed. We saw that in Springfield, there was a higher population of Latinos and being adjacent to the city White House, TN - we were hopeful. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT (but this was also due to the constant reiterating of, "No white queso on anything, please!" IYKYK I ordered the combo of Chile Relleno with a Cheese Enchilada that comes with a side of refried beans & rice. My fiancé ordered the Chile Colorado served with a side of beans & rice and flour tortillas. My teenager ordered fried shrimp wrapped in bacon. He is very picky but he loves shrimp and bacon. 🤷🏽‍♀️ It also came with a side of quesadilla which was delicious! The cheese definitely reminded me of an authentic staple growing up. 😋 The sweet tea was good but my son didn't get refills so I cant say if it is the best. They did serve fountain Coke- which I prefer. Then my fiancé and I decided to try a Margarita. We tried an original, no frills, on the rock. It was served in the typical big glass with rim on salt. Flavorful & good on alcohol (cant remember price). They were quick to seat upon entering. The staff was friendly with the greetings. Our server Marcos was friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful on making sure that I would order a delicious meal. Overall, the service was prompt & the bill came out to around $50 including 20% tip.

This place is amazing and service was great!! Didn't have to wait long at all for our food. Definitely a great place to eat and very convenient for truckers since it's located near a Love's travel stop.
