Ranchero Armada

About Ranchero Armada

Ranchero Armada is the Ankara branch of Ranchero, a Mexican restaurant brand, on the -2 floor of Armada shopping centre in Beştepe, Yenimahalle. Armada's store directory lists it with the phone numbers 0312 315 25 06 and 0312 315 25 07, and the same number appears on Ranchero's own website. The name, the brand explains, means a native of Mexico. Ranchero is run by the Tanyeri González family: its story began when the paths of Patricia González de Tanyeri and Rıza Tanyeri crossed, and their wish to bring Mexico's culinary culture and Turkish hospitality to the same table grew into a family passion and then into one of Istanbul's well-liked Mexican restaurants. The brand's Instagram profile says it has been going since 2005 and calls Ranchero the one real Mexican in Türkiye. The menu is built around tacos, such as the Taco Rico and a Burger Taco, along with house specials like Mexican Schnitzel and Picante Pollo. Margaritas, including a blue margarita, and cocktails such as Gin Satsuma and Chilada fill the drinks list. Ranchero's posts about the Armada branch invite guests to come for the warm spirit of Mexico, its flavours and its cocktails. The brand also offers takeaway, catering and reservations through its channels; it does not publish opening hours for the Armada branch on its website.
