At Carniceria El Ranchero, we believe great Mexican food starts with great ingredients. Our carniceria brings the tradition of the neighborhood butcher shop to Sacramento, with fresh cuts of meat, carne asada ready for the grill, and the kind of friendly counter service where you’re treated like family.

Beyond the meat counter, our kitchen turns those same quality ingredients into tacos on warm griddled tortillas, crispy cheese-filled birria quesadilla tacos, and plates made for sharing. We make our salsas in-house, from bright green tomatillo to deep, smoky red, so you can pick the heat that suits you. For something sweet, try our creamy flan and tres leches.

Whether you’re stocking up for a weekend cookout, grabbing lunch on the go, or planning a party, we’re proud to serve the families and neighbors of Sacramento. Come say hello at 1341 Fulton Avenue.
