    Empanada de loroco - Mexican cheese with a Salvadoran herb -- delicious!
    Bob R.

    We stopped by for a quick lunch on a Saturday and were blown away by both the excellent service, quality meals and reasonable prices (how often can you say that these days??) at Rancero Taqueria in Concord. Our 5-star experience started with the server welcoming us in and helping us navigate the menu. I had the chicken taco salad - liking the idea of salad around the shell, and the bowl full of rice/beans/meat! My wife had an empanada de loroco- very tasty. And our Horchata drink was really the best I've ever had! There is an outdoor parklet that was popular, but we ate in the small indoor area. Our server checked on us a couple of times - something you don't see at fast casual restaurants. He really made the difference. I can't wait to go back

    Ranchero Taqueria is our go-to Mexican restaurant for two main reason - 1) super close to the crib 2) good food and fast takeout service. We moved to the area over a year ago and have been to many Mexican places nearby with good results. We consistently order takeout lunch from Ranchero Taqueria because the food is usually ready in 10-15 minutes. My wife likes their Carnitas and we both like sharing some Super Nachos for lunch when we work from home. Having a toddler in daycare, this sadly might be our date meal for the week, haha! The ambience is friendly and the staff makes you feel at home. We like to order tacos and recommend the Al Pastor, Carnitas and Lengua options. Show up and serve yourself some extra salsa to go and you'll probably leave a happy customer! Support a local business that stands out in a busy area with lots of options.

    Three steak tacos to-go - They were good!
    Shayla B.

    ***3.5 Stars*** A solid option for street tacos on Monument. I've been here quite a few times in the past but mainly for their taco truck. The tacos at their truck are absolutely addictive! Their taco truck has since disappeared and/or relocated (please bring it back!!! I miss it!). So, now I've had to resort to getting tacos from their brick and mortar. Not that the tacos from here are bad or anything, but they are a lot different than the ones that I've had at their truck. Their street tacos are a lot larger than most other places as they tend to use the larger corn tortillas here (the smaller ones at their taco trucks). They definitely know how to stack the meat, and all of their salsas have always been pretty flavorful. I'm a big fan of their steak tacos here as I feel that they really know how to marinate the meat and it's pretty tender. Three street tacos should do you in pretty good, but if you have a larger appetite, you may wanna grab a few more. They offer complimentary chips and salsa which is always a plus. Service at the window can be hit or miss, but I usually just grab my items to go anyways. Sometimes this place is packed and other times I'm the only one inside. Since COVID, they've added a beautiful covered patio space in the parking lot (where their taco truck used to be). It's a nice little setup but I haven't yet sat out and ate there. Parking can be an issue since it's shared with several different merchants in the shopping center, but I can at least find parking behind El Rancho's building across the parking lot. I've also come here for breakfast a few times since they have a decent Mexican breakfast menu. The chilaquiles are quite good, but I wouldn't make them my first choice option for breakfast as there are several other taquerias that are better for it. But for filling street tacos, this place is pretty tasty. Still wishing that they'd bring their taco truck back, but I guess I'll just have to settle by coming here instead until they do.

    This place is yummy! We frequent here often because of the quality of food. Whenever we are in the area we stop by for lunch I haven't been here in a while. But due to COVID they did some remodeling. No more indoor seating. They have added in a very nice outdoor seating area. All of the menu boards have been updated. I was extremely impressed. And of course the food is still amazing

    Was on my way to Costco but was also craving some tacos so I did a quick google search I stumbled across this spot. Let me brief y'all. I work as an emergency medical technician on a 911 paramedic ambulance in alameda county primarily serving the citizens of Oakland, San Leandro and Hayward.. I'm not the best when it comes to meal prepping so I eat out a lot. Being in those cities, trust me, I know good Mexican food. Tacos el Gordo is in my top 5 taquerias. This spot though? This spot just got added to my top 5 just on the tacos alone. The meat (carne asada and pollo) was juicy, the mild green sauce was tasty and the corn tortilla was perfect and didn't fall all apart. I like how they also served it in a cool meal prep container, that's a +1 in my book. Even went to patronize the market next door and got some baked goods. Staff was friendly. I'll be coming back. YOU SHOULD TOO.

    Menudo & lengua tacos
    Melissa T.

    First time here and I was only planning on ordering lengua tacos but saw menudo on the menu and I HAD to order both. The seating inside is a little cramped, but we made do and happily shared the tables with other patrons. There's outdoor seating as well, but all of those tables were occupied. It was a little bit of a wait, only because they were slammed! Which is a good sign of delicious food. Our order came and I couldn't take the smile off my face because of how tasty everything looked! The menudo came with all of the regular fixings. My first spoonful was heavenly! The portion size is large and enough to share with two people. The lengua tacos were so tender and flavorful. Can't wait to return!!

    Shrimp cocktail
    Fabiola S.

    Rancheros taqueria has the best Mexican food and service in concord. My family and I visited the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago and everything we tried was delicious. We ordered tacos, quesabirrias, shrimp cocktail, and biónicos. The staff were also very nice and attentive. I would highly recommend Rancheros Taqueria.

    Ranchero Taqueria catered a party we threw for 50 of our friends. The tacos were fantastic! Everyone loved them and the Al pastor was the first to run out. They provided a great spread of tacos, beans, rice, fruit and drinks. They have a professional set up for the backyard. Everyone loved the food and we were stuffed and still had leftovers. My husband and I were very happy with Ranchero Taqueria and would highly recommend them for catering or whenever you are craving tacos!! 10/10!

    LOL $11 for a juice? Get out of here! The regular size is $5 and the large is $12?? Make it make sense to me. Super expensive and for what. I was so shocked. I could get TWO boba or some other drinks for $12. My cocktails that I always get in my favorite restaurant is about $7.... oh my gosh, that really shocked me.

    Outside dining (parklet).
    Ricky M.

    As of today, this is my new favorite nacho spot. Generous serving, meat, cheese, and guacamole (tasted really fresh). Good price too, only $10. It's clean and nice service.

    Cisco here!

The zucchini was cooked perfectly and not overcooked or soggy at all, which made the whole burrito taste fresh and flavorful. We also got the appetizer with the chips, zucchini, arugula, and cheese and that ended up being one of my favorite dishes. Everything paired together really well and had a lot of flavor without feeling too heavy. I also tried the mango margarita with tajín on the rim and really liked it because it wasn't overly sweet. Super refreshing and balanced. The Dude ordered the chicken enchiladas with verde sauce and really enjoyed those as well. Customer service was also really good. They checked on us periodically throughout the meal and everyone was friendly and attentive without hovering. Overall the restaurant felt clean, relaxed, and comfortable.

I noticed how enthused and attentive they were to other patrons in comparison to how they were with me and my daughter. I'll leave it at that. I purchased a chicken burrito, a steak burrito (burritos came with potato chips), a mango margarita, and a cheesecake. Pros- the food is fresh and made with quality ingredients. The mango margarita.... Best thing I ordered! Cons- Burritos lacked flavor and was pretty unremarkable. The cheesecake. Idk if it was spoiled or a different type of cheesecake but it didn't taste good at all. My daughter ate it bc she's greedy lol and said that it tastes "interesting". I do feel like the food we ordered is not prepared the way I'm familiar with, so I'll own that. BUT flavor is flavor and this place did not do it for me at all.

We did find one that had excellent street tacos but they were very pricey, three tacos for $16.99 with no chips. I would need to get two orders so 6 street tacos with tax and tip would be well over $40 which is No Bueno. We weren't sure what to expect from La Tapatia but I liked that the menu had crunchy tacos. I ordered a pork tamale, a crunchy ground beef taco and some arroz. My friend ordered a chile relleno and a crunchy ground beef taco. The food came with complimentary tortilla chips and a salsa dip with frijoles. The dip and Chios were fresh and the salsa with blended with frijoles was enjoyable. The crunchy tacos were fried nicely and had a good amount of filling. I thinking about trying carnitas as the filling but there a bit of a charge. The tamale was pretty good. The masa was not too dry or too wet. The meat to masa ratio was about right. My friend liked his chile relleno. The rice was more well done than I usually prefer and needed a little more seasoning. Overall, the food was delicious, service very attentive and pricing was a bit higher than other restaurants but still fair. I plan to take the family next trip and try other dishes. For a good family meal or with friends, drop on in for good food and service. You won't be disappointed.

I pointed out to he waiter that he had a crumb on his chin and he wiped and chuckled like a nice champ. The music is pleasant but a bit louder than needed so I brought out the earplugs. The entire indoor setup is nice. Our food is arriving after what seems like a long wait meaning either the food is being served fresh, hot and tasty, or we are in for a mediocre experience. Our two plates arrived. Chilli relleno and Grilled chicken enchilada. I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the smallish squair white plates. Reminds me of trying to look upscale. We own plates like these and that didn't work. Wife's enchilada plate was covered with three hot and very tasty chicken filled food bombs plus sides. The chili plate looked a little weak (too much plate showing) but that was the tastiest chilli relleno ever in 40 years of me enjoying these. Served hot with cheese filled up to the ying yang, an extra spiciness I have never had before that I loved and me wishing I had a spoon to scrape up the end of the sauce. Unfortunately the smallish rice and bean servings on both plates were luke warm and tasted so so. . I had similar hotter to those with tv dinners back in the day. The two plates and a coke at $43 has me scratching my chin on whether we will make that drive again. That is unless it is Sunday. Then possibly. .

Isla's fish tacos are phenomenal--easily the best in the area and a must-have every single time. I usually go for the tilapia, though I've sampled the red snapper as well.

I also visited their new location today and was pleasantly surprised by the ample parking and comfortable seating.
