Centro Recreativo y Restaurante El Rancho

This is my first review of El Rancho and I will preface by indicating I’ve been coming here well over 10 years (before @ after Hurricane Maria). Yes, the food has consistently been delicious and the service has been excellent. Last night there was live entertainment. Obviously nothing is going to be perfect although I’ve never experienced anything but a friendly atmosphere and good local cuisine. It’s family owned and family managed with the family managers on site (Albert and wife) making sure the quality of both the food and atmosphere stays inviting and if you become a regular you practically become part of the extended family (so yes I am one of the regulars). The bar manager (Jonathan) is also a long term addition to the staff and one of the best in service I’ve encountered in the area. Not only is it known for its restaurant, bar @ environment but the location offers pool recreation for children and adults depending on the day and season. With in the facilities are several venues for all types of events and they provide several holiday musical events to the public at no cost. Since the operation is self sufficient (commercial generators/refrigeration/water reserve) they played an important role after Hurricane Maria (couple of days after the eye of the hurricane passed Corozal) and foods/drinks readily available for the public. And I can’t leave out another long serving staff member who does it all (Alex / Puri) and will approach you if there’s a sense something might not be meeting to expectation. Overall, a true family owned, managed business that cares about its customers.

It is a beautiful place to be with the family and to make parties. You should go out there and try it out a very cheap $10 per person is a excellent place. I love it.

Great family environment. Staff were all great and the food is excellent! For just $10 a person, you will love this place overall!
