At La Rancherita Restaurant on 1160 W Main St, Turlock, CA, the menu is a flavorful celebration of authentic Mexican cuisine. The first thing that stands out is their generous selection of street tacos, served with your choice of meat like carnitas, al pastor, or carne asada, all wrapped in warm, soft corn tortillas and topped with fresh onions and cilantro. For heartier appetites, the burritos are a standout—especially the Super Burrito, loaded with rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole, with the option to add your favorite protein.
One of the most comforting dishes is their enchiladas, available with either red or green sauce, filled with chicken, beef, or cheese, then oven-baked and topped with melted cheese. The chimichanga, deep-fried to golden perfection and drizzled with a zesty crema, adds a satisfying crunch to any meal. Another highlight is the fajitas, which arrive sizzling on a hot skillet, piled with grilled peppers and onions, and served with warm tortillas, rice, and beans.
Seafood lovers will appreciate the shrimp cocktail—a refreshing, tangy mix served in a tall glass with avocado and a citrusy tomato base—or the boldly seasoned camarones a la diabla for those craving some heat. The menu also caters to lighter preferences with items like grilled chicken salads and tostadas, balancing crispy textures with fresh vegetables.
Breakfast is no afterthought here, with classics like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and the hearty breakfast burrito—each dish packed with flavor to start the day right. For kids and simpler tastes, there are also accessible choices like quesadillas, nachos, and tamales, maintaining that home-cooked feel.
Whether it’s the spice of their house-made salsas, the comfort of their handmade tortillas, or the variety of meats and toppings across the menu, La Rancherita delivers bold, consistent flavors in every bite.
