SAVORY TEX-MEX DISHES

Elias grew up in the Rio Grande Valley with a tradition of experiencing delicious south of the border foods and, on this side of the border, savory Tex-Mex dishes, along with good old fashion Texan foods.

These blends of foods became a benchmark of what Ranchero King Buffet is known for today.

Elias Duran

EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE

He managed restaurants in several states. Time and opportunity brought him back to Texas, where he eventually opened ranchero king buffet.

He found one common denominator for success: making all foods from scratch and creating a family atmosphere with good service.
