Offering the most special flavors on its menu from Tacos to Burritos, from the world-famous Mexican classic Fajita to Molcajete served on volcanic stone, accompanied by more than 40 sauces, most of which are patented, Ranchero is ready for Valentine's Day, February 14. Welcoming its guests with the slogan "Celebra La Tradicion", which means "celebrate the traditions" in Turkish, the venue promises an unforgettable February 14 with real Mexican flavors to all the couples it hosts on Valentine's Day.

Born from Love, Grows with Love

The story of Ranchero, which means “native Mexican” in our language and is run by the Tanyeri Gonzalez family, dates back to the late 70s. Rıza Tanyeri from Zonguldak and Patricia Gonzalez from Mexico fell in love at first sight when they came to England for language education and got married in Mexico. They then returned to Turkey. The couple, who lived in Kozlu, Zonguldak for a long time, settled in Istanbul with their three children in 1989. This is how Ranchero began to blossom. Rıza Tanyeri, who has a special interest in cuisine and food, and his wife Patricia Selma Gonzalez, who has gained a well-deserved reputation among their spouses, friends and relatives with the Mexican food she cooks at home, opened their first restaurant in Suadiye with the consultancy of family friends who run restaurants in Mexico. Thus, Ranchero was born in 2005 from the passionate love of the Turkish & Mexican couple.

Ranchero, the Mexican of the city, serves with its branches in Suadiye, Nişantaşı, Fişekhane, Ataşehir and Kanyon in Istanbul, and Maidan, Atakule, One Tower and Armada in Ankara.
