Petoskey MI Mexican Food Restaurant
Last night I took dad out to El Ranchero Authentic Mexican Food Restaurant at 2160 Anderson Road, near Lowes. We hadn’t been there since December of 2010 when they opened. Our first experience at El Ranchero was disappointing and I noted so in a post that drew a lot of comments both in support of and objecting to my review.
I’m happy to report that our experience last night was 180 degrees different from our first experience. Dad, the vegan, had the vegetable fajitas and I had the chicken fajitas. We were both pleased with meal and the service, courtesy of Sergio, was outstanding.
One great thing about El Ranchero is their interior space – lots of room and color. There were a couple of moments when communicating was challenging, but we all managed to work through it and get to the serious part of the evening – eating Mexican food.
AS I think back on that first review, I think it was probably a little premature and I will take this experience into consideration in the future – wait a week or two for a restaurant to work out the kinks before expecting them to perform at 100%. Given our pleasant evening at El Ranchero last night, I have deleted my earlier review and am also updating the review I’d posted on Yelp.
I’d give El Ranchero in Petoskey, Mi 3 1/2 to 4 stars out of five – more toward 4 if I give more weight to the service provided by Sergio.
