    Taco Tuesday's are busy! Anticipate a wait for the dining room if you go around the dinner hour…read more Thankfully we found two open seats at the bar at 6pm. I always enjoy the chips and salsa at Mexican restaurants and Rancho Viejo did not disappoint. We had hot chips and fresh salsa on the counter within several minutes of being seated. The margarita was refreshing and boozy. Standard fare was offered on their menu: rice, beans, enchiladas, tacos and more. The food arrived piping hot and quickly after ordering. It's nothing to write home about and it satisfied our craving for tacos on Tuesday. There was a hustle and bustle in the dining room as they were short staffed on the evening we visited. We appreciated the prompt service we had at the bar. Our only complaint was the bathrooms were gross. If you're looking for reasonably priced margaritas, chips & salsa with a standard rice 'n beans dinner, Rancho Viejo is your spot.

    Genuinely don't know why or how people love this restaurant. Came for dinner after a friend's…read morebaptism. Got seated right away (idk if we had a reservation or not lol) but the waiter was rude and disrespectful to an old black woman in our group who was nothing but kind to him. He up charged us by giving us something completely different than we asked for that costed more. He (server) walked away part way through when someone in our group was talking to him. Disrespectful and disgusting food. I've been to their last location too across from Tim hortans and the food was just as bad. That time I ordered a quesadilla and it came served in a POOL of water??? Just odd.

    What an incredible experience…read more This restaurant gives meaning to the saying, "never judge a book from its cover." The reason I say that is, it's unassuming from the outside. Connected to an auto repair shop to the left and liquor store on the right. Arriving, we saw only a handful of tables that weren't cleared off from past customers. We waited by the front door not realizing you order from the window which is hidden in the corner. We were greeted by a friendly young lady and after we placed in our orders, we sat ourselves and waited for our food to arrive. The first thing to arrive was the guacamole with chips. We found the guacamole to be less chunky as we'd like, but nevertheless it was pleasant. The chips were overly salted in our opinion but did not take away from the dish. Then came the al pastor tacos. These were absolutely delicious. The pork was wonderfully marinated, and the toppings added to the entire taco rather than overpower the pork. We also opted in for the shrimp tacos, which were also quite delicious. Ordering a couple of empanadas, one steak and one al pastor, these were phenomenal. Taking a bite of each, you can identify everything inside these perfectly fried parcels. Very very good. I can confidentially say, this is the best Mexican food I've ever eaten and easily beats any of our Mexican restaurants here in Rochester. But a fair warning to future patrons. Don't expect to walk in and expect a full-service restaurant. Waiting times can be a little longer than expected as well. But the upside is receiving delicious, made-to-order food made with love and care. We'd make the trip to Sodus just to revisit this restaurant.

    Amazing food with surprisingly fast service and authentic Mexican cuisine. Seriously blew me out of…read morethe water and I can't wait to go back. Also, the prices are so good I'm not sure how they stay in business, but I am certainly not complaining. Definitely worth the drive and can't recommend it enough.
