I opted for the "Acapulco Steak," a grilled New York strip steak adorned with sautéed Spanish onions, green peppers, and tomatoes, accompanied by Mexican rice, refried beans, and a fresh salad. Although we were so captivated by the flavors that we forgot to capture the moment with a photograph, the meal was truly memorable. Rango' Tex-Mex stands out as one of the finest Mexican restaurants we have encountered in quite some time. It presents an ideal setting for a lively happy hour after work, while also maintaining a warm and welcoming family atmosphere. The restaurant's versatility caters to diverse groups, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.The artwork adorning the walls is noteworthy, with its authentic Mexican themes. For those yearning for the comforting flavors of home-style cooking, Rango' Tex-Mex is highly recommended!

Another food runner immediately brought us water and chips and salsa. The salsa tasted a little bland and felt like it was missing some salt or some other seasoning/ingredient. We ordered another round but it was about the same. The chips were great. The seafood enchiladas I ordered were flavorful and there was a great spread of guacamole, sour cream, beans and rice. The plates were served hot and the kitchen had the good come out quite quickly which was appreciated. We'll be back!

Oh El Tio. You have changed. For the worse…read more... They changed the chips.... the tortilla chips are thicker and crunchier. I liked them thin and crispy! Light. Also, the portions of protein in the fajitas have gotten less, yet the price increased. And the service has gotten worse too! When the servers gave us food in the past, the gently placed the hotplate, the condiment plates as well as tortillas on our table. Now, they just plop the hotplate and put the condiment plate on top of tortillas and leave. And when I go to a Mexican restaurant, I don't wanna hear popular music. I want cultural music of Mexico. Looks like Taco Bell might be a better option. Cheaper at least!

Its extensive, diverse menu features unique specialties and vegetarian options, all crafted with flavorful, fresh ingredients. This location is smaller than other Taco Bamba outlets I've visited, with limited indoor seating and patio seating available. Many customers choose to take out. The Lengua De Res Taco was okay, while the Shrimp Quesadilla delivered a well-balanced flavor from the shrimp and plenty of cheese. The Torta Bamba is generously filled with meats, pickles, avocado, tomatoes, and pineapple, and the portion size is ample.

I wasn't feeling up to the big chains and places I wanted to try seemed to close early. Luckily this place was open and I had been wanting to try it for a while. Definitely it let a hidden gem! There are some parking spots right in front, although not many. There is a decent amount of seating, but it would be tight if you had a large party. My partner did note that the bathrooms weren't that great. You immediately get served complementary chips and salsa. They were pretty basic, but not bad. We ordered the following: + Papusas (Pork and Cheese & Loroco and Cheese) - Decent, although I prefer the Loroco (an edible flower bud). + Pollo à la Primavera (chicken dish) - Yummy, especially the sauce which mixes well with their hot/spicy sauce too! I could do without the salad dressing. + Camarones con Calabeza (shrimp dish) - Same as above! Note they leave the tails on. + Natural Juices (Mango and Maranon) - So refreshing! I loved the Maranon (cashew apple) was a wonderful burst of tropical sweetness with a subtle nutty taste. I appreciate that for the pupusas they had the foresight to provide my partner and I two plates so we could sphere the papusas. The portion sizes of the entrees were great for the price. It did take a while for the staff to swing by so that we could get boxes and the check. Note that credit cards and mobile pay are accepted. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back again to try more items on their menu.

I would definitely suggest making a reservation. We waited for almost 30 minutes because it was packed, and that was on a Thursday. The service was quick, though, and the food came out fast.

Our bellies definitely weren't big enough to try more, but everything we had was delicious. There's plenty of space inside, which I loved, and the bathrooms were clean. They also have free parking, which is always a plus.
