  THIS IS THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD in Akron! Fransisco the waiter is always super nice, funny, and makes the overall experience great! I don't always go out to Mexican but when I do I love coming here because he makes dinner so fun & it always tastes amazing!

  El Rancho has its own building with parking along Exchange Street near where it meets Hawkins and Market. It's a weird intersection, so drive carefully.
  
  The prices are pretty reasonable. The service could use improvement. Getting there two minutes early before it opens and being told firmly that we had to wait. The server on one occasion didn't smile but still got the job done. Just wish it was friendlier.
  
  The food is also okay. Not good, not bad, but okay. They do put out coupons in the mail so lookout for those if you live in the area.

  I had Las margaritas special dinner. It was easily enough for 2 dinners. Everything was tasty and the service was really fast. The prices were average. I also had a strawberry margarita and it was tasty. The waitress gave me a free shot. !Ay caramba! I'll be back.

  I would prefer to give a 2.5...
  
  0 for service---a seriously 0. We waited and at every point during this visit once sat. We waited for our waitress to acknowledge us, we waited for our drinks, we waited for refills--which we had to ask for!  Never offered to refill the chips and salsa. Waited for the check as well.
  
  The saving grace was the food. I had the verde burrito and the pork was delicious. The pork was flavorful and had a nice crisp on the edges.  My son enjoyed his fish tacos as well.
  
  I also factored in it is cinco de mayo so they were busy but I took large notice that the other tables were turning over much faster. Our waitress was just MIA most of the time.

  My office is located nearby, and whenever we want to do a big office gathering, we always come here! The food is excellent, and the wait staff is friendly and attentive. The dining room is large, and there is a back dining room that can really hold a crowd. They would prefer you make reservations for big groups, but honestly, you can walk in with a group of 20 or more and they can seat you within minutes usually. And they can manage large groups well - some places always seem overwhelmed and things get messed up but here it always goes smoothly. Give them a try!
