Came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon and had a great time. We love going to these ranches but mostly all of them are way down south by homestead so having one so close by is awesome. The place is very nice and clean. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back and invite friends and family.

It's a nice place with a beautiful decoration. Nice country style. The bartender is excellent and so charismatic. Waitress was nice and polite. Food... the ajiaco needs a little hint of cuban flavor and a bigger plate to be served. The cheese cream was awesome. Their tacos were extremely good. They have a store next to the restaurant and a little but, good place, for kids to play and have fun. Nice, clean and warm place.

I loooooved El Rancho Okeechobee!! Great atmosphere, delicious food, and amazing service. Arletis was extremely nice and attentive. It was our first time there and we went for a small private concert. You can tell this is a family oriented establishment, I learned they actually host different artists every weekend as well as have different family activities on Sundays which is great for the little one. Will be back.

The food here leaves a lasting impression. The BBQ is expertly smoked, tender, and rich with flavor, showcasing the mastery of Cuban grilling techniques. The Churrasco Y Papitas Fritas, a dish featuring thinly grilled skirt steak alongside crispy fries, balances smoky meatiness with satisfying crunch.
