El Rancho in Bochum

Absolute recommendation. The Argentine fillet steak is one of the best in North Rhine-Westphalia. Great food, very courteous and very friendly service.

Super tasty! Absolutely recommended! Great staff!

Very good friendly service, excellent dishes.

I can only recommend this restaurant. Everything fits there.

El Rancho in Bochum is an absolute highlight for anyone looking for authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine! The atmosphere is warm, inviting and perfect for a relaxing evening with friends or family. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel completely comfortable. The menu offers a wonderful selection of traditional dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and a lot of love. Particularly noteworthy are the juicy steaks and the homemade sauces - simply a taste experience! A visit to El Rancho is always a pleasure. Absolutely recommended and definitely worth five stars!

Best steakhouse in Bochum. Absolutely recommended!

The price/performance ratio is good. That's not often the case these days. The service is very friendly and attentive. The food was good, although we each had a very, very firm piece of meat on our plates. But the portions were more than sufficient. THANK YOU for the pleasant time with you.

If you're looking for excellent quality meat, this is the place to go. We had the fillet and entrecôrte (medium-rare) on the stone. Excellent quality. This was accompanied by baked potatoes and the salad buffet. For dessert, we had panacotta with a strawberry sauce. You can taste that it's homemade. The highlight was a mint waffle coin. Delicious and light dessert. The steak selection is very good. One of the best steakhouses in Bochum and the surrounding area.

The lunch menu is inexpensive, service is friendly and there is no long wait for the food

A little more expensive in price, but high quality, very tasty meat. You're happy to pay a little more. An absolute recommendation!

Highly recommended: food, drink, very friendly, courteous staff, close to Bermuda3Eck, about 12 minutes away. Argentinian restaurant! 😋

We can highly recommend El Rancho. This was our second time there and each time we ate very well.

Rump steak medium to the point, side dishes also delicious

A good address for high quality steaks.

We came spontaneously without a reservation, it was quite full, but we were still offered a table. We were kindly informed that unfortunately we only had 1 hour because the table was reserved. The food was excellent, the staff was very quick, very attentive and also very friendly. Every wish was implemented immediately. Clear recommendation.

Decent quality meat, very well prepared plus reasonable prices. Gladly again.

We were in Bochum for 1 night and wanted to eat somewhere. El Rancho was nearby and we decided to go there, thank God!! We go out to eat regularly, but my husband and I agree that we haven't eaten so well in a very long time, great👍 The meat was totally tender, everything was well seasoned and hot. The restaurant is cozy and you sit in booths, perfect for privacy. The menu is large enough and because we were there at lunchtime, there was also a starter soup for us from the lunch menu, very tasty. 😋 You think the service is grumpy, but that's just the way of the nice, older gentleman😉 However, if you don't know him, you might get the wrong impression, so don't be biased😉

Always my pleasure. Very tasty food and friendly service.

Das Beste was Bochum zu bieten hat !

As always, everything was delicious and the service was perfect

Delicious food and friendly and attentive service. The steaks were cooked correctly as requested and the plates came out of the kitchen promptly despite the larger group. We were satisfied and would like to come back.

The food was really worth 5*, compliments to the kitchen. The ambience in the right part was ok but not as good as in the left part. Our table for 4 was completely unsuitable for 4 adults as it was much too narrow. A chair could not be pushed back due to steps. In total 3*. Service was distantly cool. The typical side salad is rarely included here, mayonnaise is 70 cents! You have to pay for each bag of mint and you wait in vain for the “schnapps on the house”. Conclusion: Food is great, service and pricing still have room for improvement.

Food very tasty, good service, nice atmosphere.

I ate well. Mixture of Argentinian steakhouse and Yugoslavian restaurant

Unfortunately a bit crowded just before Christmas, but the staff and kitchen are great. The steak melted in your mouth. Perfect!

Very good food.It was a lovely evening and we will definitely be back.Mfg.T.Schneider

A great classic steak restaurant! The beef fillet was perfect 👌

The newly renovated restaurant has a modern and tasteful ambience. Our meat was "okay" but not great. All supplements are subject to an additional charge. The portions are rather small, the fried potatoes are greasy, the fries are unsalted. In relation to the price category, it just doesn't fit. The service was pushy and abrupt. There is also no typical country nightcap from the house. As a guest you feel ripped off for average food. The price is top shelf and doesn't match the performance at all.

Inexpensive, tasteful and very friendly. I'd be happy to come back any time I'm in Bochum. Good lunch menu.

Wonderful atmosphere meets good food. The conditions are great. Simply worth a recommendation.

The food was delicious, the waiters were very unfriendly

We've been going to the El Rancho steakhouse for several years, mostly for lunch. Every now and then, of course, in the evening too. It is only recommended.

Great food, great service and nice atmosphere - everything was great

It was super tasty. Always my pleasure.

Thanks, no. With a steak for €44.00, I asked in passing whether there was herb butter or sauce - and then an additional €2.40 was added to the bill. Service unfriendly, quality of meat mediocre, but cooked to perfection. It's a shame, but I don't need anything like that.

Highly recommended restaurant. Filet Very good. Melts in your mouth.

So definitely again next time. Many thanks to the super nice team

Great restaurant - delicious food, very friendly and courteous staff, great ambience. We can highly recommend the restaurant and would be happy to come back

A very good steakhouse....eaten 4 different dishes...2 from the menu... The greeting from the kitchen...vegetable soup was simply great Everything TOP... Anytime again...we'll be visiting and later at Starlight Express....

Nothing special except the price.

We were here again and were just as fascinated by the El Rancho record as before. The steaks were hot, medium rare and deliciously seasoned - to die for. The staff was again super attentive. If we're in North Rhine-Westphalia again, we'd love to take a detour!

You want a delicious meal; nice ambience; friendly, attentive and fast service, then visit El Rancho! We have been guests in the restaurant several times - always great service and quality of the food!! At the weekend there were 12 of us - despite the full restaurant - the drinks and food we ordered were delivered by the friendly staff in a short time! Kudos to the entire staff at El Rancho for a lovely evening!!

Good food with a nice atmosphere and good service

Highly recommended, great food and very nice service.

The food isn't bad. I've experienced worse. But the service/waiters are extremely unpleasant and difficult to tolerate. They don't even bother to appear friendly. Very unfortunate.

This was our first time here, we had 3x beef fillet 300g and normal grill plates, all meat products were of very good quality, Everything tasted good Small point deduction, the vegetable side dishes were all softly cooked and unfortunately no longer had any bite. Too bad 😢 Still recommended

Unfortunately only 3 stars because you can't pay €17.90 for a Cordon Bleu without any side dishes. Without vegetables and without fries, had to pay €4.50 extra, just for fried potatoes, large drinks are served in 0.3l glasses????

Classic steakhouse, still with the ambience of the 70s. Quality of service from customer-friendly to rude, depending on the person. Very good meat quality and preparation.

That was surprise for me. Super!

Great place with great food and friendly service. I highly recommend it. I was there for the second time and we will definitely come back here again

Were there with a larger group, service and food were top. Any time. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Very tasty steakhouse. Prices steep. Fillet steak with fries as a side dish totals around 38 euros. Wheat beer 5.20 euros. But very tasty and great restaurant. Staff very friendly.

Fantastic fillet steaks. Fried to perfection. Great taste, large selection of side dishes. There were also delicious things to choose from for our fish eater. Highly recommended.

Very tasty, very friendly service, You should have been there before. I can only recommend it.

For me, Bochum's best steakhouse!

Wow what a great stay we had with you😍🥰👍so love and warm waiters. It's also very quick and there's also time for a joke or two when it's served. Even though we were there shortly before closing time, we never had the feeling that they wanted to get rid of us. Apart from that, the food tasted really good. So all thumbs up 👍 you are really a 10 out of 10 🥰👍

The service was quick and courteous. Nice, simple atmosphere, which is not meant in a negative way. The dishes were tasty and on point. Everything freshly prepared. The prices may not seem cheap, but the quality of the food and meat makes up for it. Quality has its price.

For me the best steakhouse in Bochum. The food is fantastic, the staff is super friendly and the prices are great too.

The food was mediocre. I've eaten better and worse steaks. The prices are also too high for what you get. Other steakhouses are just as good, but significantly cheaper. The waiter was unfriendly and bad-tempered. Even though we paid over €200, the waiter didn't want to accept visas. This is really pathetic in my opinion. I won't go there again. There are simply too many better alternatives.

Cozy steak restaurant with friendly and attentive service.

We were there on the evening of Grönemeyee, great food, great hosts. Price performance can't be better!! It would have been worth a lot more to me For what it actually cost, we'll be happy to come back (when we're in Bochum again!! Thank you

Tried a very, very tasty platter for two. The steak was on point and tasted overwhelming. The service was nice and courteous. The ambience was very nice, very cozy and suitable for a steakhouse! Always my pleasure!

Overall I had a good experience. The food (beef, beans, potatoes) was very tasty and the steak was cooked perfectly. That's how it has to be. The atmosphere has been refreshed, although the white brick arches from 30 years ago still do their job in the interior. The waiter was a bit rude, could have been a bit more sympathetic. But everything was nice and quick.

Top. Best beef in a good atmosphere. 👍

A steak platter with 7 small pieces of meat and some vegetables for 2 people: We ordered "medium to well done". 3 pieces were burnt on the outside on 2 sides and were otherwise almost raw and had a consistency like carpaccio. The waiter justified this by saying that the pieces were all different thicknesses... Well then they should probably be fried for different lengths of time, right?

Top 👍🏻. Very good steakhouse. Modern ambience and professional service.

Very quick and polite service and extremely tasty food. I had the "Gaucho skewer", the meat was perfectly grilled and extremely deliciously seasoned.

While our visit to El Rancho left a lot to be desired, the ambience was at least passable. Unfortunately, the food reached our table almost cold, which significantly diminished both the enjoyment and the general expectation of a warm dish. The amount of the "platter for 2" also seemed insufficient to us, considering that as a guest you are both hungry and have a certain expectation of value for money. In addition, there was regrettably unfriendly service, which didn't exactly enrich our evening

It was very delicious. However, in contrast to the last few years, it has decreased somewhat.

Unfortunately, my experience at El Rancho was disappointing. Although the ambience was charming and inviting, the rest of the experience couldn't live up to it. When I ordered my steak, I was expecting a juicy medium-cooked piece of meat, but what I got instead was cold and nowhere near the doneness I wanted. The staff seemed rude and uninterested, which further detracted from the experience. Despite the appealing ambience, I cannot recommend El Rancho due to the cold steaks and the unfriendly staff. It's a real shame to go to Rodizio instead.

Very good food and decent portion sizes. Fast and friendly service.

Very good steakhouse with excellent meat and a few meat dishes from Balkans. Very good and recommended.

It's very difficult to find a fault here. Everything was great from start to finish. It's a strange question at the beginning as to whether you should pay with cash or card later, but everything was still great. -Super juicy medium rare steak. -Side dishes were also very tasty -Service very fast and reliable -Desserts also really tasty, I had the tiramisu, I can really recommend it. -The price is more than fair for what you get. In total we were there with a group of 4 people and it won't be our last visit there. Definitely the best steakhouse I've visited.

Very nice steakhouse in Bochum. Super delicious food.

Super tasty restaurant with a great selection and incredibly friendly service. Clear recommendations!

The food and service are great! Definitely coming back. We recommend!

We have been here several times. The food is always very tasty. The waiters are always friendly and attentive. We would be happy to come back.

Wir zum Mittagessen um einen Geburtstag zu feiern, schon bei den Bestellung hat der Kellner gefragt wie wollen wir es bezahlen?? Dann sind wir ziemlich schnell abgefertigt worden, fastfood und schlechten Service. In einem Imbiss hat mann besser und freundlichen Service als in diesem Restaurant!

Always tasty and good. The price-performance ratio is right.

Super good, kind sir. For 30 to 40 euros you can order the meat and fill your salad plate with everything you want (but only once hahaha, as much as the plate can hold hahaha)!

The food we ordered came very quickly and everything was as ordered. Everything tasted very good, we will definitely come back.

The food was very good and was served promptly. Paying in pairs led to slight dissatisfaction among the service staff.

Absolutely great. Excellent service, side dishes very generous, taste great. Gladly again.

We spontaneously went there for dinner and I have to say, we really enjoyed it. Grill plates and salad from the buffet were very good. Only the price was just a little too high for my taste. Might be because of the city (probably).

If more stars were possible, I would give more! Fantastic food, both fish and steaks were incredibly tasty and of high quality, the service was very friendly and attentive, all in all a more than successful evening!

I was there as a child and nothing has changed in terms of quality, thank you :)

Great food, very nice service, unfortunately you have to decide at the beginning whether to pay in cash or by card

Arrived here by chance. A great restaurant, attentive service, delicious food, reasonable prices.

The waiter was friendly and the side dishes (as a main course) were very tasty. However, I can't say anything about the meat. I didn't order that because when I asked about the species-appropriate husbandry of the animals whose meat was served here, I was only answered that the animals were in Uruguay and that we didn't know how they were kept there. I would have expected that in a steakhouse with appropriate prices it would be known what ends up on the plate. Therefore the visit was very disappointing.

Excellent classic steak restaurant. Attentive and quick service. We enjoy coming here regularly. The 350g entrecote is prepared in English and is amazing.

We were here for the first time. Our steak was tender like butter. The Mexican skillet was great too! Service was excellent, the ladies were super friendly and always had a smile on their faces. We'll definitely be back!

Very nicely decorated restaurant. Waiter was very attentive and polite. Food tasted excellent.

What can you say? Friendly welcome with accompaniment to the table, which is not always standard these days. We had already looked at the menu beforehand and that's why we chose the restaurant. The food was great! That's how we wanted our steaks and that's how they arrived. There was nothing to complain about. For dessert we treated ourselves to a pancake and tiramisu. Here too, everything was perfect and tasted good. In my opinion the bill was reasonable. A recommendation from me

We were completely satisfied, very, very nice staff and the food was a poem👍

I was there again after 6 or 7 years. The prices are reasonable but the food is also totally worth it. Great service, we didn't have to wait for drinks, food or clearing up. There was always someone there straight away without being intrusive or lurking. We'd love to come back.

Very nice gastronomy, great ambience, very good service. The food was also very good, except for the fries which were probably warmed up again in the deep fryer. Everything about the meat and other side dishes is great. Highly Recommended.

The best steakhouse in Bochum. The meat is always fresh and perfectly prepared. Medium rare is really medium rare and is served on a hot plate. Delicious! A small disappointment is the generic-tasting white bread and the herb butter, which seemed rancid.

It was clean and actually a cozy atmosphere. But the gentleman we had at the table was very unfriendly. The first question was how we plan to pay. He hadn't even taken any drinks or anything. When he entered he seemed more annoyed than welcoming. We left the store again because I would have liked a little more friendliness for this price range of food. He shouldn't put us in the a... I assume cringing but niceness. We will definitely avoid the store in the future.

Das Essen war insgesamt okay aber nicht unbedingt etwas besonderes für ein Steakhouse in dieser Preisklasse. Bedienung ziemlich forsch, man hatte nicht das Gefühl ein willkommener Gast zu sein, sondern wurde schnell abgefertigt. Ich würde zukünftig ein anderes Steakhouse in der Bochumer Innenstadt vorziehen.

Sehr freundliches Personal, frisch zubereitete Speisen
