“ Came to Rancho Grande because I was craving some enchiladas.They started us off with some chips and salsa as well as a little cup of soup to start . The soup he. Tomato based flavor which was good but I by had 2 small prices of squash in the cup which was ok with me because the broth tasted good. The service was friendly and quick the plate seemed small but was good enough for the appetite I had. The Mexican plate is what i ordered came with a crispy taco 2 cheese enchiladas, rice , beans and a small dallup of avocado. The crunchy taco was crunchy and not oily topped with fresh lettuce and tomatoes the enchiladas were cheesy and the sauce had a great taste to it. The rice and beans were also good. I would definitely come again. ”

“ We came from Houston to the basilica de San Juan. We were all starving and glad we chose El Rancho -Everything was delicious, it was our party if 7 and a baby and the Pancis, queso fundido, carne guisada,mole, enchiladas all delicious. The only thing that might bother someone is if you don't care for very very dim lighting then this place is not for you. Service was great and they attended to our big party extremely fast. ”
“ We went here on the recommendations of locals and were not disappointed. We were greeted at the door by friendly staff who checked on us throughout our dinner. We were served complimentary chips, salsa and queso. We had the Fajita Parilla which was enough for two. Another in our party had the street tacos which he said was delicious. I didn't drink but the place had an awesome looking bar. ”
