This restaurant is a safe, not outstanding choice. On the positive sides - wait help is very nice (a guy not even assigned to our table brought us a chip refill), [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is clean, new and nicely decorated[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the menu has plenty of options. One issue we had was that they deemphasize or maybe don't even show many (any?) a la carte items under $10 - the bottom price and entree size is a plain quesadilla. So you won't get out of here feeling like it was a great value and you can't really build your own plate here as you can at most Mexican places. The food that comes out is actually impeccable on one hand - my burrito and my wife's quesadilla were sizable portions, with hot, fresh ingredients and really attractive and yummy presentations. The one way they fall short is that everything is a bit bland and understated. The chip salsa was like Rotel (just hot, not much flavor), the carnitas didn't have a stewed vegetal flavor - more like just roast pork. Also our food came out pretty slow - we probably waited 20 min and there were few people in the restaurant at the time. If I eat at a Mexican restaurant I just want the chef to know more about spices, etc than me. However, it was all high quality. read more

Found this spot close to our stay, came in just before closing on a Thursday night. We were quickly seated and greeted by the host. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was super cute and very festive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone at their tables were happy and enjoying themselves.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Servers came in quick for drink orders but we needed time to look at the massive menu. It was a bit overwhelming with so many options even non traditional sushi! We ordered two kids plates, crispy chicken and fries and the grilled chicken and rice. We also had the "Alambre El Jardinero" and the "Molcajete". One child complained that he did not like the crispy chicken at all and ended up sharing the grilled chicken. The kids grilled chicken was such a huge portion and both kids loved it. The other plates were good and tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant offered a big birthday celebration to everyone celebrating which scared my little one but seemed so exciting for those at the birthday tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall not disappointed but not anything specific to bring up back. read more

After a long day at a basketball tournament, my family and I were in the need for a quick meal before making our way back home. On the way, we stumbled upon El Rancho Nuevo! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is very festive and the whole restaurant is decked out with Mexican decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely great if you're in the mood for a photo shoot. The food was nothing exceptional, but great for our purposes. I ordered slightly off the menu, getting carne asada tacos. They were slightly overcooked and under-seasoned. I also ordered the guacamole and it was again under-seasoned. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the food was subpar, the ambiance made up for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was very kind and we received our order quickly. All in all, El Rancho Nuevo is a great place to go if you're in need for a quick bite to eat. read more

El Rancho Nuevo - Sirloin. So good! - Mexican Near Me - Mason, Ohio

Never again. We were there before 5, not very crowded and plenty of staff but no one seemed to know what to do. Our waiter was terrible and mostly invisible. Screwed up our drink order (2 waters, 2 teas), served us burnt chips (that were replaced when our food arrived), my dinner wasn't served until after everyone else (3) had finished eating. It took almost 2 hours to have dinner here, the service was the worst and slowest ever. And no apology or comp from the manager. We are local and will never return. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A fantastic dinner with my family![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Has a unique menu with a lot of options for all. Really enjoyed the unique and delicious food! Service was a bit slow on a very busy night but overall we were pleased. read more

We were visiting from out of town and stopped by for dinner. Claudia was our server and she made very thoughtful suggestions when we asked her what was good. The food portions were generous and everything was delicious and flavorful. We happen to be lucky enough to see a party flight of shots come out. Omg-so cool! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lights went down, music got loud and a full on party came into the dining room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Awesome place. We will come back on our next time through town! read more

They have a really big menu including sushi and burgers! I ordered tacos with carnitas and a margarita. The food was great, and it came out pretty quick!

I've been here about 6-7 times. I've really enjoyed the food. I love margaritas too. My issue is with what Margarita you order and what margarita you actually get. Like most places like this, the tequila brands they use are so poor, they are hard to find in liquor stores. I ordered the skinny Margarita, which states "tequila, freshly squeezed lime, fresh orange juice, organic agave nectar and grand marnier". It also says "Top shelf" No tequila or alcohol was 'top shelf'. The DID not use Grand Marnier as I watched the bartender make my drink from start to finish. When he handed it to me with the dump flags and frilly crap hanging out of it, I asked him about the grand marnier. He said you want a shot? I said no, and I pointed to the menu and he poured a shot of it and added it to my drink. All I'm saying is if you are going to order anything more than the crap house Margaritas that they use that garbage "mix" you buy at the grocery store mixed with bottom of the bucket tequila, then order at the bar and make sure you get what you order. I believe they are taking advantage of people. It's not the first place I've seen that does this. read more

I pass this all the time, near my kids school. Decided to drop in and glad I did. The food is standard Mexican fare, but better! I never realized there were different options for nacho toppings! My kids finished their plates and everyone left satisfied! Excellent, attentive service as well.

Reyna was a great server so cute!! Food was delicious and always great service. We've been coming here for years

This is a regular in our restaurant rotation. The food is awesome and the service is excellent! I'm vegetarian. They have about 12 or so vegetarian options. If I wanted, I could make some of the meat centered entrees into vegetarian ones. The free salsa & chips are delicious. Their queso is yummy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is festive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We just went there for dinner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a restaurant worker dressed as a Transformer, on stilts!! So much fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

El Rancho Nuevo - 1 big ass margarita - Mexican Near Me - Mason, Ohio

There's a lot of fun happening here! Great food too! Upon walking through the door, we felt welcome. We were able to be seated quickly and chips, salsa, utensils and menus were brought to the table. Highly recommend the guacamole casero. So good! Very fresh! For our meal we split the parillada for 2. The meat and vegetables were cooked well.....the meat was tender and veggies grilled perfectly. The seasoning was good too. All of their desserts looked delicious! We split a piece of tres leches cake. Definitely big enough for 2 to split. Get the 20 ounce margarita! Delicious and fun! It was bubbling when it arrived at the table. The staff is very helpful and friendly. We had menu questions and our server was able to answer all of them. The entire staff was working hard to take care of all customers. Looking forward to another meal here in the near future. read more

El Rancho Nuevo - Margarita Texana - Mexican Near Me - Mason, Ohio

I was disappointed. We ordered enchiladas (green salsa), alambre, and two kids quesadillas. The enchiladas barely had any sauce on top, the beans looked weird and they barely gave us rice. You couldn't taste the tomatillo sauce from the green salsa. The alambre was a lot of food. The bad news is that "Al pastor" did not taste anything like Al pastor. I was very disappointed. The kids quesadillas were $4 dollars each and it came with rice. I think I would rather have a kids meal than a $20 meal that doesn't taste like anything but salt. We will not be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean and modern inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and very friendly staff! Food was delicious!!! Will definitely be back

They don't deserve 1 star. The day before a major surgery, I wanted a kids meal and cheese dip. I ordered online while sitting in the parking lot. I waited 10 minutes or so and went in to get my food. The (I guess) manager asked whet I ordered and went to the kitchen. He came back and said it wasn't there. I waited abt 25 minutes and asked in Spanish if they were gonna get my food. His reply was, "I told you it's already gone." He basically accused me of taking my order that was never given to anyone to begin with (I was in the parking lot when I placed the order and there were 0 pickups) He refused to have my food made until I cussed him out in Spanish telling him he lost a customer that ate there at least once a week over $10. That's when he asked again what I ordered and thought I was gonna wait another 45 minutes for my food. read more

The menu pictures looked awesome and lots of variety. I ordered off of the lunch menu and got steak fajitas. By far the worst fajitas I've had from a Mexican restaurant. It was just big hunks of steak not cut in slices like it typically is and was all connective tissue and fat. Completely destroyed my appetite. I'm not one to send food back of restaurants either, so I just didn't eat it. The kids did like the Mexicano buffalo chicken wrap though. read more

Venue: Alot of parking. It's located on the corner of a plaza. Inside is spacious, and has a Spanish vibe. You can bring family or a date or by yourself. They have a bar. All in all and nice place. Price: The cost of food was not bad at all. I did see a drink for 17.95 called the Cazuela, if you rich try it for me and let me know how it taste lol. There were normal priced drinks. Food: The food was so good. Tasty and well seasoned. Not one singlev thing we ate was nasty. We had almost the whole menu. Our waiter was low key not nice but oh well the guys made up for it. read more

We went to this place to meet with a friend from Columbus OH, it's in the middle. When we arrive, it's about 3:30, and basically empty, few tables inside. We sit outside, and we are the only people outside. The menu is extensive, their margarita is great as American Margarita, husband said. The food is tasty, certainly a good place to come back if in the area again. read more

Terrible service, sub par food. You can find better. Servers come to the table as minimally as possible. I've frequented this restaurant over the last few years and seen a constant decline in both food and service. After the last time (July 2024), I will not be returning. I urge others to explore some of the many other options in the area. read more
