LA BUENA VIDA: The Ranch (Restaurant)

I first encountered The Ranch in the newspaper. It was written there that local celebrities like Derek Ramsey and Valerie Concepcion already dined there, so I was very curious on how their food tastes like. "Lami siguro diri noh," I asked myself. I couldn't figure out where it was located because the newspaper said it is located near Banilad Sports Complex. "Where in the world is Banilad Sports Complex," I asked myself again. Then one day I was able to spot the location by chance just by looking at the sidewalk while riding a taxi because we were on our way to Ten Dove Street but unfortunately, it was closed when we got there, so James and I decided to go to The Ranch instead. Anyway, I've been looking for this restaurant for months already. I was so unaware that I have been passing by this restaurant a million times. It is just located across the Banilad Elementary School and very near the Banilad-Talamban flyover. If you get to see this certain cartoon character on the sidewalk, that's the signal for you to stop and try out their yummy food!!!

This fellow is as big as a tree!!!

When you get pass by the gate, you can see that there is an area where you can play darts and enjoy dining the al fresco way. Don't worry. You won't get wet when it rains upon dining outside.

This is the opposite side of the gate facing Banilad Elementary School.

You can play cards or darts in this area.

More tables outside!

Look at the lights! They wear cowboy hats! LOL!

Where in the world is the entrance? Just keep on walking straight from the gate and you'll see a door on the side of the house. You might think it's the wrong door because it looks like a residential door. Hehehe! Just knock and come inside. You will be greeted with a Western American Style ambiance.

This is my favorite area of the restaurant.
