Burlingame · Est. Street Tacos
Handmade tortillas, slow-braised meats, and salsas made from scratch every morning. El Ranchito brings the taste of authentic Mexican street food right to El Camino Real.
Our Story
El Ranchito started as a family recipe passed down through generations — the kind of taco you remember from a roadside stand in Oaxaca, where the corn is fresh, the meat is marinated all day, and every bite feels like coming home.
Now we bring that same honesty to El Camino Real. No shortcuts. No frozen ingredients. Just real Mexican street food, made the way it should be — with patience, pride, and the best local produce we can find.
Customer Favorites
Each one crafted with the same care and attention our grandmother would have demanded.
Slow-roasted pork marinated in achiote and guajillo, finished on the trompo with charred pineapple. Our most requested taco — and for good reason.
Thinly sliced ribeye seared over high heat with onions and peppers, finished with a squeeze of lime and a generous spoon of our habanero salsa verde.
Citrus-marinated chicken grilled until smoky and tender, topped with pickled red onion and our house-made guajillo aioli.
Pork shoulder braised in lard until fork-tender, then crisped on the griddle. Served with diced onion, cilantro, and a wedge of lime.
From Scratch, Every Day
Our tortillas are pressed by hand from nixtamalized corn. Our salsas are roasted and blended before dawn. The marinades sit overnight. We believe the difference is obvious in every bite — and we're proud of that.
"If it wouldn't pass my mother's taste test, it doesn't leave this truck."
