El Rancho Restaurant Locally owned family run restaurant We are a family owned Mexican restaurant that has been in Payson over 40 years!
(1005)

We serve authentic Mexican faire, with some great American choices as well. We are open Monday through Friday from 11-8, and on Saturday and Sunday we are open from 8am serving some of the best breakfasts in town, with many Mexican and traditional choices, bar drinks available, and a seasonable outdoor patio! From our homemade green chili to our local favorite "Queso Loco" Burrito, we have been a

local favorite as well as a favorite stop for out of town people travelling through town. We have been chosen one of Arizona Highways 25 best restaurants in the state, and also received numerous Best of Payson awards year after year. We also have a full service bar with 4 LCD flat screen TV's, and outdoor heated smoking patio where you can eat as well. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday 3-6, and with the addition of the NFL Sunday Ticket, we do beer specials during the games. We recently started a brand new menu, now featuring a lunch menu with 6 selections, all for only $6.49 each. The new menu also includes a Senior menu, with smaller portions for any time of the day, and a variety of new selections. Our service is quick and friendly, with many of our staff being employed here for many years. So if your just looking for a margarita on the patio, or a family dinner, or even a place to accomodate a large group for a function, we are the place!
