In 1983, after the success of La Calle Doce, Oscar and Laura Sanchez wanted to open another restaurant but they didn’t want to duplicate their previous success nor did they want to open just another Tex-Mex restaurant. Oscar wanted something that wasn’t found in Dallas, something that reminded him of home. Since both Oscar and Laura are from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon in Northern Mexico, they decided to open a restaurant that specialized in Comida Norteño (northern food) and Tex-Mex featuring dishes such as cabrito, mollejas, and asado de puerco. Today El Ranchito is known for it’s authentic Mexican food, freshly made tortillas and festive atmosphere where mariachis play daily. These elements – the food, the music and the friendly staff – have helped El Ranchito achieve it’s ultimate goal of creating an atmosphere where the customer feels as if they are back home in Monterrey.

    We absolutely enjoyed the entire experience. The food was delicious, staff was very attentive, and the live music was lovely, too.

    Micah was our server - excellent in every way. Zero cocktails tasted like they had cologne in them - bitter and unpleasant. Stone crabs excellent as always.

    Fantastic time with friends we hadn’t seen for a year. Our server, Amy S, made our experience even more special with her patience and accommodating service! The wood and leather surroundings are most appropriate for a place called The Ranch. The food was great from the meat and cheese board, to the bone in ribeye, to the meatloaf and fajita plate and were all a good value. The Ranch is one of all 4 of ours favorite place to dine and even though my wife and I live out of town, I don’t hesitate to dive the 40 minutes to get there. We’ll be back!

    My wife and I started dining at Avanti over 25 years ago when we were dating. We have celebrated many anniversaries there since, as we did last evening. When I made the reservation on Open Table I stated that it was our anniversary and requested our favorite seating in the northwest corner of the dining area because it’s quiet and provides a nice view of the rest of the restaurant. When we arrived we were greeted by the warm and friendly hostess who wished us a happy anniversary said that our table was ready. Our waiter, Martin, was friendly, informative and attentive. My wife ordered her usual Bolognese. We have traveled to Italy many times and the Tagliatelle Bolognese at Avanti is by far the most authentic we’ve had in the US. I had the Cioppino which was also amazing. They surprised us with Tiramisu served on a platter wishing us a happy anniversary. It was just as romantic as always. Thank you Avanti… we will be back again!!

    We LOVED our Sea Bass and Caesar evening. We substituted Mushroom Risotto for the base and it was so delicious! Our favorite restaurant of all! These guys do it right!
