Fresh cuts from the butcher. Handmade tacos & plates. Daily-baked pan dulce. Real 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."
