One of the standout features of Rancho Lewis is its commitment to quality ingredients and authentic flavors. The menu is a delightful blend of hearty soups, crisp salads, savory grills, and sides that reflect the rich culinary heritage of the West. Take, for instance, the West Texas Wedge salad. This dish features a generous wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with mesquite-cooked bacon, creamy avocado, cotija cheese, grilled corn, pico de gallo, and scallions. It's served with a house-made Rancho dressing that perfectly enhances the freshness of the ingredients. You can even add mesquite-grilled steak, chicken, or shrimp for an extra protein boost!
When it comes to grills, the Steak Fajitas steal the show. Grilled over mesquite wood, these fajitas are served on a sizzling platter alongside charred peppers and onions, accompanied by savory Marrow Farm pinto beans, Spanish rice, and an assortment of condiments including sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo. The addition of your choice of house-made corn or flour tortillas makes this dish a must-try.
Don’t overlook the enticing sides like the Charro Beans, which are cooked to perfection with herbs and topped with diced onions, or the flavorful Spanish Rice enhanced with a house-made vegetarian sofrito blend. For a crispy treat, the French Fries tossed in house chile seasoning and served with red chile ketchup are a crowd favorite.

“ I’m really glad that I finally had dinner here! The Christmas Burrito was a good as everyone told me it would be. The Queso Asado was particularly amazing, too. I will definitely be going back for HH just to get more Queso Asado and a margarita. ”
“ Might be my favorite restaurant in Charleston! The space is so thoughtfully decorated throughout the whole dining room. The food is just incredible! We went twice in the last week, once for dinner and once for lunch and we had very consistent experiences both times. The staff was friendly and the service was attentive. The food portions are very generous. The menu had a great variety of dishes. The corn and flour tortillas are all made in house and I cant imagine there being anything better in all of Charleston. Also great margaritas! Cant wait to go back. ”
“ I highly recommend! Josh and Suzy were amazing and definitely worth the visit ! Don’t forget to order the green chili potato with queso! Incredible and everything is made in house. ”
“ Rancho Lewis never misses. Just fanatic dish after dish after dish. No clue they had a brunch menu, but of course the steak and omelette were incredible! Go there, eat, thank me later. ”
“ We arrived early for our reservations. They seated us within minutes. Our waiter, Lewis was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful, Lewis was fabulous. My husband wanted a certain drink and Lewis knew exactly how it was made. We ordered the homemade guacamole (yum), grouper tacos and steak fajitas which were devoured in a timely fashion. We highly recommend Rancho Lewis, the food tastes authentic. Ask for Lewis if you want excellent service. ”
“ As a Texan, I have high standards for BBQ and Mexican food, and this place nailed both. The Queso Asado was delicious, the homemade tortillas were fresh, and the beef back ribs were tender and full of flavor. The margarita was perfect, too. I also loved the mix of country and Mexican music—it felt like home. Everything was perfectly priced. Great food, great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back! ”
