On Thursday December 22, our family was in our normal dilemma as to the eternal question in out household being "What is for dinner tonight?" My father-in-law noticed that El Rancho restaurant in the HEB center ( Fry Road and 99) was open for business. My wife made the executive decison that we were going to try this place on opening night. Now let me explain a little before I talk about the food... My wife is hispanic and both my mother-in-law ( recently passed away on all Saints day after a long and courageous battle with cancer) and my wife are excellent cooks... I believe I have the palete to judge good Mexican food based on my experiences. In addition, my wife is from San Antonio and there are numerous excellent Mexican food restaurants in San Antonio and we probably have eaten at most of them.
Back to El Rancho.. The service and staff were very good, attentive and treated us very well. The chips , salsa and green sauce were all good but my wife did not necessarily like the chips. She is picky with her selection chips and sauce. Unfortunately we ( six people) found the food to be just OK and not a do again at least for a while. The prices we thought were high based on the quality of the food. I had the carnitas which tasted pretty good that evening but were even better two days later when I eat it for lunch. No one else in our group had had positive comments about the food. There are several other Mexican Restaurnats in the Katy area where the food is far superior in my opinion...
Part of my idea as to a purpose of my blog is to inform folks about things such as local restaurants so those who read this blog have some guidance..
