Tucked into the coastal charm of La Jolla, Verdes El Ranchero has been a cornerstone of the neighborhood since 1945. Founded by Buzzy Martinez and affectionately known to locals as “The Ranch,” the restaurant has stood the test of time, weathering La Jolla’s transformation from a sleepy seaside village into a destination of global renown.
