Servers will come by and tousle his hair, say hello, wave to him, they are just genuinely so sweet and kind; it makes our day. And they are busy too! So it means even more that they make the time to treat us like family. The food is some of the best in the area, the place is always busy, and who doesn't love a margarita? It does get loud, but I've never had trouble hearing my meal partner. We will keep coming back!

Good was mediocre. Shrimp was RAW. Ceviche is "cooked" with citrus bath but this was raw. The…read moreserver laughed and took the dish to different people and pointed at our table and laughed. This embarrassing process continued until the manager came over and offered to replace the dish. The fajitas veggies were well past cooked and were slimy. The beer bottles were cool but not cold. Service was terrible! No siding of table or removal of beer bottles or dishes until we left. There were 9 guests in the restaurant and I counted 18 employees. I did not understand why they could not clean our table off. Employees were leaning and talking. It's pretty obvious the profit was not an obligation to this business. Ambience was OK if you want to be in a big restaurant with lots of light and look more like an employee stand around meeting without regard to their customers. Long and short, this is one of the worst dining experiences I've had in years and I will not go back, and I would recommend that somebody think long and hard before they give this organization any dollars.

The dining room did look like it could use a bit of a refresh in places, but it wasn't anything that took away from our meal. We started with the cheese dip, which had a nice consistency but was a little lacking in flavor. The chips were on the thicker side and tasted a bit stale. I also ordered a horchata, which unfortunately was disappointing. It was very watery and didn't have the rich, creamy flavor I was expecting. For my main dish, I had the choripollo, and I really enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked well, and the combination of flavors was delicious. I just wish it had a little more spice. My husband wasn't a fan of his meal, although he's a pretty picky eater, so your experience may be different. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made for a pleasant dining experience. While there were a few things that could be improved, I still enjoyed my meal overall and would consider coming back to try some other menu items.

Archon is a huge event that happens on the same weekend every year and I would…read moreThink the restaurants around there would be prepared to handle the rush and influx of diners. The night we went was terrible. We sat down about 545 and the place wasn't that crowded yet. We did not leave until almost 8 o'clock. Let's not because we were having a good time. It's because allegedly there was a printer error in the kitchen, and we waited almost an hour and a half for food. Now we understand that restaurants can be understaffed, but our waitress took our drink orders brought them came and got our food orders and then we did not see her for another hour and that's when she said that there was a printer error in the kitchen. There were no concessions made about the wait time just a simple sorry. The bill came and it was full price for food that had clearly been sitting under the warmer and congealed. The beans were watery. The food was room temperature at best. She didn't come back to refill drinks or offer any sort of grand apology or hey let me take that off the bill or anything and we have to pay full price for honestly a bad meal next year when we're in Collinsville, we will not eat here.

Sometimes their servers are a little hard to understand, but that shouldn't be a problem, just something to note.

There are so many Mexican restaurants in the Metro East that are just sad (not tasty/inauthentic)…read more Not so with Tienda El Ranchito! Before today, the only Mexican places I've actually enjoyed in over a year living in the area are Frida's in Fairview Heights and Agavero in Collinsville, and honestly, Agavero is just okay. Visiting Tienda El Ranchito today was a breath of fresh air and I'll definitely be back! Their salsa is more of a pico de gallo with a slight bit of heat from de-seeded jalapeños, but it was delicious. I had the al pastor and chicken tacos, with rice and beans, and my spouse had the carnitas, and all were great. Their beverage cups are large, which is nice, and the service was fast and friendly. Be aware, their main sign at the road is currently broken/missing anything that says their name. The front of the premises when you first walk in the door is actually a grocery store - the restaurant is in the back. Also, as many area restaurants do, they have an additional charge to pay with a credit card. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

The service was friendly but our server made errors with the order and didn't ask to fix them or check on us . The food came with rice and beans , both of which were "DELISH".

It's been awhile since we've been back to this place…read more Yesterday, we were there for the Cinco de Mayo celebration and boy....it was packed with customers! They have a patio for people who wants to enjoy a good weather like yesterday while eating their scrumptious meal. The food that we ordered was hands down AMAZING! So tasty and delicious! The waiters and waitresses was spot on! I was afraid that the food will be reduced in quality because of the high volume of customers inside, outside and waiting in line to get seated.....but they were great! Kudos to all the staff and employee because yesterday was a busy and special day and they delivered it and brought it like a well oiled machine! I would give them 10 stars if I can! We live just up the road from them and definitely one of our favorite spot!

I recently ordered takeout from Tres Caminos and was very unhappy with the food, service and condition of the restaurant. My chicken taco salad was dismal: the chicken was shredded and looked and tasted dry. It was a very small serving, and the bill was More than $12.00 - more than posted on the online menu. The other item, enchiladas verdes, was a tiny serving, only one enchilada, not three as listed on the online menu. Why so stingy?? The total bill was $48.00 - wrong price and way overcharged! No beverage, no side sauces, nada! The fellow at the counter offered no explanation, and quickly looked away. The whole place was a mess - old and tired looking. I notice that your place is popular And I'm surprised. It seems like folks have gotten use to mediocre food, high prices and rundown environment. It must be the margaritas...
