El Ranchito

RICH GRAHAM, says:

I went last week to meet up with a long lost friend who I hadn't seen in ages. We purposely went early to avoid the mariachis, but sadly, not early enough.

The couple next to us must've been on their honeymoon, because Los Mariachis del Infierno played for them for almost 25 minutes. 3 trumpets, 2 violins, and a few guitars. WAY more than is necessary to get the point across. Especially when there's NOBODY else in the place.

We finally had to bag it and continue the meeting outside. Too bad, we might have hung around for hours sucking down their yummy margaritas.

A Dallas Classic in Oak Cliff main street Jefferson Ave. Sincerely authentic Nortena style Mexican. Very welcoming-inclusionary family owned/run. Fresh tortillas made on site. Great margaritas--the real kind! Gracious service, (too) loud pro mariachis. Like going to Mexico to a huge party. Been going there for 25 years. Unique and special in historic vintage Dallas architect Dilbeck building. Why miss this when it is Texas Mexican to its core?
