Had a great time at this very unique Toronto establishment. Heard about it many times and finally decided to try it out. Went with a group of 8 people. Didn't know what to expect and was completely surprised and amazed by the whole experience. Had dinner and it was great.!! A Mariachi entertained us. Later we all took a salsa lesson. The teacher was very friendly and upbeat. Tried my new moves and found that i wasn't half bad. I really enjoyed watching the crowd. Everyone seemed like they were having a great time. I whole heartedly recommend this place to anyone. It was a blast. We will definitely return again and again...
Had the greatest time at this wonderful place....
Our whole group was very impressed. The food was amazing. The service was exceptional. Very courteous and friendly staff. Try the Paella and Seafood platter.!!!
The atmosphere was very tropical and lively. We even danced the night away to amazing Latin beats. We will definitely return again and again. A true gem in our wonderful city... :)
I just had to write a review because this place has it all.!! Amazing food and great atmosphere. Was recomended by friends bur wasnot sure what to expect. e arrives at around 8pm for dinner andre pleasantly greeted by some very nice peolpe. The food was amazing. Our group had all different dishes and we shared portions to compare the taste. We can honestly say that all plates were deliscious. After dinner we took a dance lesson with a very entertaining instructor. Later the party continued and we had a blast. I recomend El Rancho to all.!! What a place. 10/10
Fantastic restaurant, the ambience is just amazing. The service was friendly, courteous and speedy considering it was a pretty busy evening in the restaurant. The food was outstanding, great proportions cooked to perfection and very tasty. We went into the night club afterwards and the music was fantastic. I so recommend this establishment it is amazing we will definitely go back.
It was 10 of us, we were really lucky to pick this place the service was so good, the waiter even gave us some kind of special shot (in fire), the food was amazing (we order the Seafood Plate), after dinner we went to the Salsa lesson and the we danced for the whole night. It is a must have experience.
Four of us met for dinner at El Rancho to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. Spectacular, the food was just amazing, the seafood combination platter we ordered was out of this world. The service was excellent, very friendly staff, very nice ambience in the restaurant. We then continued our party in the night club and wow, two levels different music on each level, salsa, merengue, amazing.
We will be definitely going back, very economical and delicious with excellent service we could not ask for anything more. Thank you.
I was recommended to El Rancho restaurant by a friend. We decided to reserve because we heard the food was good and the dancing was even better. We arrived at 8pm and were pleasantly greeted and surprised by a very friendly staff.
The Paella, Parillada and Bandeja de Mariscos was so deliscious it goes beyond words, just try it !
Later we made our way to the nightclub. WHAT A PLACE ! Full of beautiful people having the time of their lives. We danced all night and lost track of time. Before we knew it it was almost 3am. Time flew by and we danced up a sweat. You must try this place out, we will return soon.Loved it.
