Handmade tacos, tamales & plates. Daily-baked pan dulce, cakes & gelatinas. Fresh meats and Mexican grocery. All under one roof on Indy's south side.
Nuestra Historia
Carnicería y Taquería El Ranchito #2 is Indy's south side gem, a true Mexican supermercado that brings the flavors, freshness, and spirit of a traditional Mexican market straight to 601 E Hanna Ave.
Walk in and you'll find a full-service butcher counter with freshly-cut meats, a bustling taquería turning out handmade tacos and plates to order, a panadería & pastelería baking pan dulce and pastries daily, plus fresh produce and everything you'd find in a real Mexican abarrotes.
Our friendly, bilingual staff treats every customer like family. Locals drive across town just for our tacos, and once you've tried our three house salsas, you'll understand why.

"Probably the best tacos I've had in Indy. Super authentic and fresh. The Horchata was also great."
Yelp"FINALLY! A real Mexican street taco! The pastor tacos were filled with so many spices… the asada tacos were perfectly cooked… salsa 5/5."
"Hands down, the best tacos I had in Indiana, better and less expensive. We've been driving to El Ranchito for the last 2 years during our lunch breaks."
Yelp"I had the BEST taquitos of my life here! The white cheese sauce just put them over the top. They sell tacos de lengua y tripa also, which you can't find at very many places."
