More about Ranchos Cocina North Park
Marcos Mouet opened the first Ranchos in Ocean Beach in 1995, and the name nods to the ranchos of Mexico where families grew their own food. The North Park branch is family-run, with Frida Kahlo portraits on one wall, and serves breakfast through dinner. The menu is built around antojitos and larger platters called Ranchos substantials, with honey-ginger limonada and pitchers of margaritas to drink.
