The specialty here is the El Molcajete.

A molcajete is a huge stone mortar that's heated over a gas flame until it's fiery hot. Then it's layered with Oaxacan cheese, which melts into a scrumptious crust. Strips of cactus, grilled shrimp, and beef are added, along with jalapenos and onions. Big chunks of cheese are placed on top before it's served.

You've never tried anything like this before! It will feed several people.

Everything here is authentic and delicious. The tacos are some of the best you'll find, and they're just $1.50 - $2 each.

The menudo is warm and filling on a cold day. Other menu items include quesadillas, huaraches, burritos, carnitas, gorditas, pozole, and other authentic dishes.

Visit Rancho Markets from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
