We are glad to share our regional FAVORITES. These are people and services that have stood the test of time, value, and dependability in our opinion. Rancho Santiago believes in telling people about who do right and who does not provide good service. You may agree or disagree, of course, people experience the world differently.

Favorite "Greasy Old Fashioned Hamburger"
- in Texas is at Jordan's Red Barn 
Cafe, Crosbyton, Texas. We especially recommend the jalapeno cheese burger.

Favorite Myler Combination bit 
- Rancho Santiago recommends the Myler Combination bit with an individual mouth piece selected for your individual mule. We have 100's of bits but we are having the best relaxed response across all of our mules with the Myler combination bit. You can find information about this bit at http://www.toklat.com.
