The flavors of México
tucked into a
neighborhood market.

A hidden gem in Fairview Shores where the carnicería, the mercado, and the kitchen all live under one roof. Walk in for a ribeye, walk out with a plate of carne asada. Authentic, affordable, family-run.

Family-sized taco baskets at El Ranchito
Tacos, four baskets deep5214 Satel Dr

Since 1997, we've treated our customers to freshly prepared, flavorful dishes and a wide array of groceries in an inviting, friendly atmosphere. No frills, no nonsense — just real Mexican cooking the way grandma taught.

Walk through the door at 5214 Satel Drive and you'll see the grocery market to the left — stocked with Latino pantry staples, fresh produce, and pan dulce. Turn right and you're in the restaurant: booths, laughter, the sizzle of the plancha, and a jukebox in the corner.

Behind it all, the carnicería: whole ribeyes, house-made chorizo, cuts prepared to order. Everything you need to cook at home — or we'll cook it for you.

"Real authentic Mexican food. I give it 5 stars and a California approval."

A hole in the wall, diamond in the rough. The tortillas were so warm and they had a beautiful fresh smell. The meat was falling out of the taco.

Hands down one of the best little Mexican restaurants in Orlando. Forget those hipster $4.50 tacos — here you get something just as flavorful, if not more so, for about $1.50.

The Steak Torta featured tender steak, bursting with savory flavors and Mexican spices. The Tamarindo Agua was a refreshing complement.

One of my favorite authentic Mexican restaurants around. They are one of the few places that serve shrimp street tacos. Tamales and Horchata are always good here, as well as any of the tacos.
