El Rancho Market is a favorite local grocery store in the Santa Ynez Valley, known for its amazing variety. It features a huge selection of meats in the butcher department, including tomahawks, wagyu, tritip, and sausages. The market also has a deli department and a mini food court that is a super good lunch spot. This includes a sushi bar considered the best in the whole valley, a salad bar, burritos, sandwiches, and fried foods, all ready to go. The store carries an authentic Ukrainian cuisine in the frozen section, such as varenyky and crepes. It is described as a beautiful, clean market with a friendly staff. Customers can order at the deli counter, shop, and then pick up their wrapped food to enjoy on the covered patio.
Jon who works at the deli/hot food counter has awesome customer service and is really helpful. They have an great selection of hot foods, salads, sandwiches, sushi, basically anything you can think of and the prices are really good. A lot of things are fully customizable.

Extremely informative staff and very helpful as well for me being a disabled customer they were quite accommodating. Rancho Market has the best staff I've ever dealt with. Since I live right down the street and am there frequently they pretty much treat my dog Alex and I like family, thanks Dave!

Looks like a really lovely natural food store in a farmers market! Wonderful.
