Food was very good, service was great people are very friendly.
Todo ahí es demasiado rico, el GordonBlue de pollo y de carne se merecen los 6/5 tenedores, porque uno no se espera esa calidad en ese lugar tan apartado, y probé la milanesa de pollo, (lo probé ya frío xq no podía comérselo, estaba grande), y una muy buena sopa negra, igual a la de casa, de hecho pensaría que de ahí sacó mi mamá la receta.
Siempre me ha encantado la comida de este lugar, muy sabrosa a un buen precio, pero es sólo lo que conozco de él, más aya del restaurante no conozco. El personal es atento, servicial, pero lleva 4 estrellas por que tardan demasiado para servir la comida. Recomiendo las carnitas mexicanas
Muy rica la comida y muy buenas porciones, igual que la atención. Los precios también son muy accesibles. Muy recomendados.
Hace años fuimos a la parte del Restaurante y me pareció bien. Desde hace tiempo quería ir a las cabañas, ví que estaban limpias y completas, considero que también tuve un buen trato de parte de ellos, fue una buena experiencia haber ido a hospedarme donde ustedes, además espero volver al sitio dentro de un tiempo.
Gerardo, the owner of Los Ranchos, is an excellent host and genuine man. Lorena and the staff are incredibly kind. We loved our stay in the hotel. Beautiful natural life outdoors and cozy homes. We will miss this place!
Excelente la comida y el servicio, nos sirvieron muy rápido y todo super rico. Ya hemos probado varios platos pero mis preferidos los nachos, la carne mexicana y la hamburguesa de BBQ. 100% Recomendado
Un buen lugar con parqueo y excelentes comida buena atención
