“ A great surprise on the side of the road! I didn’t expect it to be a food truck, but the owner was very friendly. It was just as much of a pleasure to hang out with him as it was to eat the food. The food isn’t cheap, but nothing is in Florida. ”

“ While checking reviews for restaurants, my family and I decided to stop for lunch at Rancho Pascual. We ordered the lomo and chaufa and were not disappointed. Everything was freshly made and delicious. The owner, is kind, very welcoming and a great cook. We will definitely be back. ”
“ Great food. Rancho Pascual is a food truck only in the sense that there is a wide variety of food trucks. Some are only so-so and some are really, really, good. Rancho Pascual is in the latter category, and, in my opinion, better than any similarly-priced brick-and-mortar restaurant, and better than a lot of restaurants that charge even more. We had the Arroz Chaufa con Mariscos and the Peruvian ceviche. Both were exceptional. You're down in the Keys, so you have the right to expect fresh seafood, which RP definitely has. But it's also the recipe and ingredients which really stand out. I've had Peruvian ceviche all over (except in Peru! hoping to visit sometime soon!), including home made, and this was some of the best I can remember. The chifa was so good that I immediately looked up the recipe even before I'd gotten halfway through the meal. I regularly use all the listed ingredients, but none of the recipes I read added up to what I was tasting. Turns out that the owner/chef has a secret ingredient which he good-naturedly revealed to us. I gave RP 3 stars for atmosphere because it's a food truck next to a small RV camper park inhabited, it seems, mainly by sunbird retirees living their best lives on the beach. There are 3 or 4 tables under umbrellas, music from a radio, and that's about it. We thought it was just fine (and the environment gave us a lot to talk and think about in terms of retirement plans, and out of curiosity we ended up google-shopping the prices of the various campers we saw there), but many people wouldn't call that "atmosphere" per se. We loved it, though. ”
“ Excellent food. Over 50 menu items. He needs his own full service restaurant... We will be back soon! ”
“ Absolutely unexpected delicious food! We had a few apps and the fried rice! Definitely recommend and the service was excellent! ”
“ An absolute hidden gem. Stopped in by chance. Th best prawn cocktail I’ve ever had - so fresh. And the ceviche... Delicious. The 2 men running the venue were very kind and thoughtful. Highly recommended. ”
“ Outstanding! Riquisimo todo! It was really a pleasure to find this place, we order literally like all the menu and everything was so good that I can’t pick a favorite. We are so full now in the car but with a great memory from the keys. ”
