Rancho Chico

I'm embarrassed it took me so long to write a review of my favorite restaurant. I'm originally from Los Angeles and know Mexican food...and this is good Mexican food! I've eaten here more frequently than any other restaurant I've been to, and I've lived here a only a couple of years AND have to drive half an hour to get to the restaurant. I've rarely loved a restaurant enough to become a regular (or, I've loved it but can't *afford* to be a regular.) Thankfully, Rancho is very affordable, makes excellent food with huge portions, and also has lovely margaritas. I always have leftovers. Their two types of salsa (one is a cabbage-based pico de gallo) are fantastic and are even better if you mix them together. For entrees, we highly recommend the Carne Asada, Arroz con Pollo, Steak Picado, the Fajita Burrito, the Crazy Donkey burrito, the Chicken Mole, and any of the Camarones (shrimp) dishes. We also love their Chile Relleno  and they have multiple other vegetation options, too. Honestly, the menu is so vast that I'm sure there are many other gems...but we got hooked on the aforementioned dishes. If you are regulars and order drinks, you might get a free treat at the end. The owners are incredibly nice and hardworking and always welcome us like family.  Lastly, the interior is so bright, colorful, and elaborate that a visit will always cheer you up. Hands down, the best restaurant in the area. Enjoy!

Love the decor.  Food was pretty good, but not really noteworthy.  They do have quite a few vegetarian options which we liked.  Service was good.

Our family is a local and we frequent Rancho Chico's, at the very minimum, once a month. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Our favorite item to order is the Mexican pizza. This is the best restaurant in town by far.
