No frills, straight forward Tex-Mex Greatness! It's been quite a while since I've had a good moment that takes me back in time but Ranch Grande did just that. We are new to Tulsa and though I grew up an around here, I've been chasing this Chile Con Carne sauce for the majority of my adult life. I could never find this flavor that reminded me of my childhood until we walked in here for the first time. I was absolutely amazing, so much that in the first 2 1/2 months we've lived here, we've been back 7 times. While they don't promote gluten free food, I had zero issues with the food. If you're going for the 1st time the "Nighthawk" will not disappoint. The read more

Great food but the drinks are terrible. $14 for a premium marg with little alcohol and jammed full of ice. The bartender must be on some sort of bonus plan to keep alcohol profits high. It's a shame. Really like the food and beer specials are solid. read more

Had family birthdays dinner here on Saturday. We had 1 added after the reservation for 10, & they graciously accommodated us. Our waiter was STELLAR! He took all 11 orders, drinks & all, without writing down a single thing. The drinks came immediately & dinner shortly after, with every single drink, dish, & detail correct. We were all in awe! The timing from drinks to appetizers to meals was spot on & seamless. The food was FANTASTIC. Zero complaints. And all 3 birthday people received a complimentary dessert, also delicious. Love the atmosphere here, too. Clean & festive. Live music upstairs. Highly recommend! read more

Another year has passed and another great year of experiences here. The staff is always friendly and the food is always good. This restaurant has been a staple in this town for more years than i have been alive. Even after all this time this great place still brings in the customers. On a recent Saturday night i saw seniors who say this is still there favorite restaurant to young adults in there 20's who love coming here. My favorite dish and the famous staple here is the Night Hawk. This dish comes with 2 enchiladas and a cheese taco covered in chili con carne and chili con queso sauce. This place was and still is one of those must try places if ever in Tulsa read more

DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE REVIEWS!!!! This was disgrace to Tex-Mex. Food was awful and over Priced we had 2 drinks, a chicken quesadilla, and rice and beans, it came out to $45. The chicken quesadilla was atrocious l couldn't even finish it after the first bite, it tasted and looked like it came from a can. Beans had this weird flavor, rice was dry and lacked any color. And at that you have to ADD rice and beans to meal that was already $16 Listen to someone who is a Latina, this is not good food. Honestly just go to Chuy's at this point BUT Shoutout to our waitress she was very sweet and we left her a good tip! Pleas tip your server or don't go out read more

I love the food and also ambiance is really relaxing and the boy who seated us was amazing

Best Mexican restaurant... EVER! We have been coming here since 1963. The food is amazing..and it changes... they are always adapting and adding. The service is always great... even when crowded. The prices are... cheaper than some fast food restaurants. The AMAZING Neon sign out front is enough reason to try it but the food will bring you back! When we come home for a visit we ALWAYS go to El Rancho Grande! read more

I asked for a green salsa. The waitress was new and didn't advise me that there would be a charge. Which would have been acceptable should I had the option. She went to speak to her manager, Alicia which walked over with an attitude saying she will see what she can do. At this point I'm think they might new their $2 to pay there bills. I told the waitress to let it go and charge it. Alicia walks over and says NEXT TIME you know. Wow a manager talking down to a paying customer. What a great first and last experience. But not only does it stop there I called the next day to speak with John the manager and Alicia answers and HANGS UP on me. read more

First trip here.. really glad we stopped in. I've always wanted to eat here. Finally, made it! Restaurant is in a great historic location. The ambiance is festive. We got greeted and seated immediately. I ordered the chicken enchilada plate. Added beans and rice, $1 extra... sweet tea is slappin' here!! They do offer adult beverages aka signature drinks, domestic beers and especial beers too!! My husband and kiddos enjoyed themselves. The food is flavorable-favorable. How could these Tulsa locals disappoint?!! read more

Good food & great service. A family tradition .... Looking forward to our next meal together.

I love this place! Coming from a south Texan, they have great salsa (it has spice!), the enchiladas are delicious with the chili con carne. I don't like how they don't have a la carte options like I just wanted two crunchy beef tacos and they only have the 3 taco plate for 13.99 - crazy price! It's worth getting one of their combo plates with multiple things to try. read more

Great service and food. Love the atmosphere. Excellent margaritas and hot salsa. Never disappointed.

I've been eating here since I was a child. I'm 70 now.. The food has consistently been excellent. Even when it transferred ownership, they kept up the old recipes. The margaritas are wonderful and I've never had poor service. read more

We had their FireRoasted Shrimp Tacos this evening and first off they did NOT have LARGE shrimp in them as stated in the menu and the crema sauce on them was insanely hot which overpowered them. We literally thing there was only ONE shrimp cut up in small pieces on small flower tortillas with shredded cabbage and diced tomatoes! The pico de gallo on our plates had lettuce that was browning and really not very good. $14.25 for what I described is just not right. Food out has gotten more expensive yes, but as such needs to be very good. This wasn't. We've eaten here for years, but this might have been our last time. We left hungry and disappointed. read more

I have been going to El Rancho Grande for so many years that I can't even count. Everything that I've ever had there was outstanding! The ambiance is very laid back & lovely too. I would highly recommend El Rancho Grande to anyone & everyone. *it's conveniently located on Rt66 read more

*** Review is during Covid-19 *** Even during the craziness of the pandemic, Rancho Grande continues to climb higher on my list of favorite Mexican/ tex mex in Tulsa. I've had it multiple times this past year (has this already been going on for a year? yikes.) and it remains consistently good. Even the takeout, which is what I've stuck to lately, is solid and I've never had problems with it. It's curbside pickup which is always nice and convenient. You pay ahead (like over the phone when you place your order). Then when you get there someone brings it to you and it's even more low contact than regular curbside because you've already paid. Workers are masked. I've been loving the chile colorado here! It has a nice kick to it, and I actually really enjoy the overall flavor and heat level. I like spicy food a lot, and this to me was just the right amount for this dish. Probably the best chile colorado I've ever had... though I'll admit it's not something I order frequently at other spots, so I've probably only had it from like 3 other places. Still, I really like it, and it's now my go-to order here!!! It comes with lots of the sauce (more sauce than there is meat to go with it), but I kind of like having extra sauce. A little bit more meat would have been nice, plus I don't think I got tortillas (though not sure if this has been every time or only the most recent and they forgot), which are usually included in these types of meals. Luckily it's pretty filling either way! As mentioned in previous reviews, they also have REALLY good salsa, which is huge for me. I've also tried their queso and guac... also great. And I think it's rare that all three are that good. So congrats for that! read more

My favorite Texmex. I usually get the Nighthawk with Rice and Beans. With a sweet tea. The wait staff is helpful and they work very hard. They are very nice and greet you as you as you walk in. And thank you as you leave. Service is great. It has that old style Mexican feel. Lots of great places to sit and no booths. The tables feel much more like a higher rate dining establishment at a very affordable price. read more

We realize this place has history, and we have driven by it more times than we can count, but today we tried it out for the first time, and were pleasantly surprised! Momma had the street tacos, $9 for three but made with tender carne asada and served with cilantro, grilled onions, and lettuce, pico de gallo and limes. She really enjoyed them...I had Bobs burrito, stuffed with steak and covered in their Colorado sauce (tomato based with marinated pork and jalapeños) and avocado on top. It was delicious and filling! Chips and salsa, your choice of mild or a little heat. We polished off the bowl of salsa, and took the heat over the mild. Overall a nice experience. We'll be back to try something else on the menu... read more

I've been wanting to come here for quite a while but more than often I would forget the name and the street where I'd saw it so trying to look up hadn't worked out for me. Well fortunately for me tonight I happened to pull into the QT right near the restaurant. As I made my turn I saw that wonderfully lit up sign and yes I was starving at this time yet I wasn't sure what time they closed. I hurried to park so that I could open Yelp and check. Woohoo, they were still open...I had a hour and fifteen minutes left til closing and I'm literally right next door...I'm not missing out on this opportunity!! I looked over the menu and decided to order the El Rancho Grande Dinner for pick up. When I picked up my order I walked in to a very quaint and beautiful restaurant. There were decorative stairs that lead up to a bar. I'll definitely be coming back for that adventure. I gave my name..Wow, I was not expecting to be handed such a large bag of goodies. There were two containers and a paper bag full of chips. The food is absolutely delicious and there was plenty to devour! I bet I will never forget the name nor the location of El Rancho Grande again!! read more

My birthday month and I received a card from El Rancho Grande for a BOGO free entree. We haven't been there in a few months so today we decided to get a late lunch around 2:30. Immediately greeted and shown to a table. I was surprised at how busy they were at this time. Federico brought us waters, chips and salsa. My partner ordered a Perfect Margarita ($9) and I got a draft Dos Equis Amber ($6.95). We each ordered the Grilled Tilapia which comes with a little Pico, a lot of rice and charro beans ($13.99). It was an excellent meal. We also got a regular Guacamole ($3.99). The chips were good. The salsa can sneak up on you. It was too spicy for my partner. She instead got another margarita. The tab for all this came to $49.95. I tipped Federico $15. He was the perfect server. Thanks for the free meal ERG. I've been coming here since my Jr. High Spanish class came in 1963. It is the first place I'd ever had a taste of Tex-Mex. Muy Bueno! read more

Good food for the most part, nice atmosphere but ordered several cheap items off the ala carte menu to keep costs down, which rancho beans were cold, and they charged me for a meal still with an extra on top that and tacked on a huge group tip, so ending paying $32 for items worth about $12. When confronted they would not adjust. Will not recommend to others! There are way too many other good Mexican restaurants around Tulsa that don't play that $ game they did on me! read more

Still consider this place at the top of Mexican food. The cheese nachos can't be beat, the avocado salad with that dressing is a favorite. Cheese and onion enchiladas very good ! read more
