"Moving from Texas to Philly, my partner and I really wanted to find a place to go when we are craving a taste of the best places back home. El Rancho Viejo is that place 100%. It’s the best Mexican food my partner and I have had in the city.The staff are as lovely as can be. There is something to be said about being recognized and remembered when you visit a restaurant.The food is quick, affordable, and the portions leave nothing to ask for. If it’s busier inside, the takeout holds up just as well as dine-in. The salsas are all flavorful and cover all the bases on spiciness.

Finally got to trying this place yesterday! It 's not the sort of place you go for the ambiance, but for a really yummy, not-too-pricey meal with great, friendly service. You know this is the real deal because the salsa is good, let alone the more complicated dishes. I had a tinga burrito, and will be back to try more.Vegetarian options: Veggie burrito was really yummy!
