El Rancho | Riverside Taqueria
About the Business
Welcome to El Rancho | Riverside Taqueria, located at 100 Oxford Terrace in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our establishment is not just a restaurant, but a point of interest where food and culture come together to create a truly unforgettable experience.
In South America, mealtime is more than just nourishment, it is a moment to bond with loved ones, celebrate special occasions, and create lasting memories. At El Rancho, we aim to bring this special way of sharing a meal to the Christchurch Riverside Market.
When we made the decision to come to New Zealand, we knew that we wanted to share our knowledge of Latin American cuisine with our new home. Cooking for us is not just about preparing food, it is about delivering love and passion through every dish. We want to communicate this love and passion to our customers and create a space where our culture can be shared as openly as Kiwis have shared theirs with us.
One of our main goals for our restaurant is to create a vibrant atmosphere that captivates your imagination and immerses you in Latin American culture. From the moment you step through our doors, you will be transported to a lively and energetic environment that will make you feel like you are in the heart of South America.
We are thrilled for the opportunity to combine our enthusiasm and culinary skills with the passion behind our project. Our aim is to create a unique dining experience for visitors at the Riverside Market that will leave a lasting impression and make them want to come back time and time again.
So, whether you are craving authentic tacos, mouthwatering empanadas, or refreshing margaritas, El Rancho | Riverside Taqueria is the place to be. Join us in celebrating the vibrant flavors and rich traditions of Latin American cuisine. We can't wait to share our culture, love, and passion with you.

"Best Mexican food in Christchurch, we had to come back twice during our stay!!"
"Love there tacos!! One of my favs in Chch. They taste fresh, delicious and filled well. I have been a few times during my lunch break while at work and the service has always been fast and friendly."
"The worst burrito I've had in my life. I LOVE burritos so strive to have them everywhere. I ordered a slow cooked beef burrito from there. There was no salsa in the burrito, it was full of lettuce, beans and rice. I just kept getting angrier and more disappointed with each bite. At one stage I felt they had forgotten the meat as I was halfway into the burrito and had still not had one bite of the slow cooked beef. I was about to return it and thought I'd open it up first. After opening it up there was one small chunk of beef and a few scattered pieces of beef at the very bottom of the burrito. Everyone on my table who was eating something different from somewhere else told me to return it, but the restaurant is located in the market in a very busy place and I didn't want to make a scene. So very disappointed with not only how they made it, but what was inside. That is NOT a burrito El Rancho and you don't have to be a Mexican to figure that out. I'm from Sydney, I think these guys need a burrito making class from their cousins Down Under! First photo is halfway through the burrito (looks like meat but all rice and beans, NO MEAT). Second photo is at the end of the burrito with the one little chunk of meat and scattered pieces under the chunk."
"Best Mexican food that I have had in New Zealand. Awesome tacos, churros were delicious. Definitely recommend."
