El Ranchero

Okay, now, I know there are good reviews on here. However, having lived in New Mexico for a good 2 years truly has taught me what is authentic and what is not. My friend and I went together with my boyfriend (the one who lived his whole life in New Mexico and just moved here to Indiana) I had ordered Green Chile Rellanos, when it came through, they were gigantic and unusual. The batter were made in the wrong way, much too thick and too sweet. And I came to find that it wasn’t authentic Green Chile, it turned out to be Chinese Giant Green Chiles which isn’t the appropriate taste of Mexican food. The rice tasted quite stale. And the refried beans had that canned taste. My friend’s enchiladas were really old. The portions, however were much smaller than what we would normally get in New Mexico for a MUCH cheaper price. I would NOT recommend anyone to this place because the food has made my man very very sick for two days. It caused him to have a severe diarrhea and a few throw ups. The service was FANTASTIC but just not the food. I say they need a inspection in the kitchen BIG TIME because the foods doesn’t taste right, and is NOT AUTHENTIC. I would recommend for them to get a new chef, preferably a experienced mexican/southwestern chef. Also, they need to learn all the proper names of Mexican food. The service was, again, very fantastic. My hats off to the waiters and waitresses. Just not the chef.
