Menu Meal

To start off the meal, guests are given complementary bowls of chips and salsa and their choice of bebidas: Pepsi product soft drinks and/or water. For an appetizer our chef has prepared a delicious sopa de vegetal consisting of: pasta, juicy roma tomates, cebollas, and sabor de pollo to compliment the vegetables. For the main course, guests are served a Build-Your-Own-Tostada: corn tortillas, roma tomates, cebollas, lettuce, frijoles refritos, cuatro quesos, and sour cream. And finally for dessert, creamy Tampico brand vanilla ice cream served with Suavicremas (which are vanilla waffle cookies). The meal for one person costs $8.50 plus tax.

A supply of ingredients for a group of five people costs $38.75 plus tax (including cooking oils and butters).

I thouroghly enjoyed going to the market because it has many of the same things a store like Albertson's or Von's would have, yet in most cases, the Ranch Market's products are priced lower. The Ranch Market also sells pre-marinated meats (beef, pork, chicken) that one can take home and cook up with out having to do much preparing. The restaurant in the back of the market, Fiesta Grille, offers a variety of mexican entres, such as burritos, tortas, tostadas, and many different side orders (I got the rice which was delicioso if I may say so myself). It was definitely a new experience for me, as I always shop where my mother buys her food, and there are no Mexican markets near our home.
