We were passing through Lewistown when we stopped in at El Rancho. There was a sign when we…read moreentered, saying that they were short-staffed and be prepared to wait. We were seated and yes, service was slow, but not unexpected. We ordered beef fajitas and a combo with chile relleno and cheese enchilada. As a previous reviewer had noted, the hot sauce (served with tortilla chips) had chunks of cauliflower in it. That was just the beginning of an un expected Mexican dinner. The food arrived hot and the fajitas were sizzling, and were a pile of onions, bell peppers and...coarse grind ground beef. Not skirt steak or flank--but ground beef. The chile relleno was equally inventive: a fried tortilla wrapped around a cheese stuffed pepper. The enchilada was pretty standard. All in all, It was certainly not what we were expecting.

This is the best Mexican food in Cascade County. My wife and I eat here frequently and the reason…read morewe eat here frequently is because it's simply the very best. The food is also consistently delicious and the service is consistently friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is upbeat with Mexican music playing. It has an ambiance that creates a comfortable environment sitting and talking with friends or loved ones while enjoying authentic Mexican food. I've noted some of the low reviews and they generally seem to be posted by people traveling through. I can only say I am not originally from Great Falls. I grew up all over the world. I began eating Tex-Mex as an 8 year old in San Antonio, Texas. If that doesn't form a person's palate for what true Tex-Mex tastes like, then nothing will. La Cocina's kitchen staff knows exactly what they're doing and they do a great job. Sure, it might not be as spicy as one might find in San Antonio, but the spices used are exceptionally flavorful and appropriate, especially for Great Falls clientele, which, after all, is the target customer base. If you're as adventurous as I am and just like eating something super spicy, they provide El Yucateco Chile Habanero sauce right at the table! The food is served piping hot every time. This place deserves 5 star reviews all day long. Writing this review has made me hungry. I'm definitely heading back to La Cocina for lunch today.

They gave barely any rice and beans and it cost twice as much as the prices I saw on yelp. Also, I got it to go and they served it on a paper plate which seems strange. Honestly a bad experience. I will not go back.

I ordered the carne asada tacos, chips and salsa, and a Coke, and it was hands down the best Mexican food I've had in Great Falls, or frankly, all of Montana. The carne asada tacos were perfection--tender, flavorful, and grilled just right. The tortillas tasted fresh and had that perfect balance of softness and sturdiness to hold all the goodness together. The salsa had the right amount of kick and paired beautifully with the crispy, well-seasoned chips. This place brought me back to the taquerias of SoCal. It's as authentic as it gets up here in Big Sky Country. Whether you're craving tacos or just need a taste of real Mexican food, 9th Street Taco is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back!
