I used to love to go to Rancho\u2019s for Mexican food. I went so often that I was on a first-name basis with all the servers. When Rancho\u2019s closed it was a sad day, but that sadness quickly dissipated when I realized that one of the best server\u2019s \u2013 Hugo \u2013 was going to take over the running of the establishment.
\nIt is just about a year now since it changed hands. The menu has changed slightly; prices are a little higher, but with the advent of higher minimum wage it seems that all prices are higher. And the food is as good, if not better than it was when it was Rancho\u2019s.
\nOn Tuesday one of my former Japanese students \u2013 Shun \u2013 met me for lunch. We decided to go to Hugo\u2019s because it was “Taco Tuesday” and it was nearby. We both looked at the Tuesday menu, but both decided to order from the regular menu instead.
\nShun wanted a burrito, and I suggested that he try the shrimp burrito. He didn\u2019t want beans, but wanted a side order of rice. I had the shrimp enchilada, and while we waited for our order we gorged on some of the best salsa and chips north of the border \u2013 the Mexican border! We ordered lemonades and then later into our meal Shun ordered a draft of Pacifico.
\nThe food was so good. I seldom finish a meal because I usually take some of it home to make into a snack for my students. Not this time. I finished the whole enchilada, and Shun also finished all of the huge burrito. How they are so consistent with their food is a mystery to me. I have never had a bad meal there, either as Hugo\u2019s or as Rancho\u2019s.
\nThe service was great, like it always is.
\nOne of the nice things about Hugo\u2019s is that everyone can eat there \u2013 vegans, gluten-free eaters, carnivores, etc. They have some nice appetizers, soups and salads, combination plates, etc. They have a true Mexican menu, including breakfast. They even have sandwiches and tortas, sides, and a kids menu.
\nTheir regular menu is many pages long, with a true eclectic offering. I am looking forward to my return. Hugo\u2019s Cocina
