    bean and cheese burrito, Enchilada, pork Tamale, Rice and Beans
    Dayna I.

    Was visiting from outta town of town and was craving some good Mexican food. Well this place did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. The service was great. Our server was so kind and on top of everything we needed.

    Call it a bit if all the good stuff from the chef!

    What you see here I don't even have a name for it. If you want to order, ask for the : sausage, chicken, beef, shrimp, cactus, roasted jalapeño plate. This was the special but is now on the menu as a regular item. I don't think this pic does it justice. Sheer volume alone requires 2 people to finish it. The flavors are outstanding. I been going to this flavor mecca for 10+ years and it's yet to not satisfy. A wide ranging menu, if you don't see it, ask for it. I recommend...oh they have a fully stocked bar with brews to Margaritas as well. During the pandemic, they not only stayed alive, but built a permanent outdoor eating area that is a nice alternative to a very pleasant indoor atmosphere. Local, family owned, gracious host and the food is impeccable. In a time when sadly we are losing great eateries for a variety of reasons, fortunately, these folks are thriving!

    Tortilla soup, Carne Asada and home made flour tortillas
    Ilona S.

    Always good. Always consistent. Always friendly service. Glad to see the staff that has been here for a very long time and also the "new" faces who were friendly and provided good services. I tried the Tortilla Soup (bowl) tonight which I never had before: it was delicious. Lots of shredded chicken, cheese, some avocado chunks and fresh tortilla strips in a beautiful broth. Very good! My husband had the carne Asada, like usual, and he truly enjoyed it. It's too tough of a cut of meat for me though.... Tortilla chips and salsa and bean salsa are provided for free... that is becoming more rare! Good job!! And their home made flour tortillas can't be beat!

    Blue pineapple margaritas
    Selina C.

    Being a California native, I've been on the hunt for authentic Mexican food. Ranchito Grill exceeded my expectations! From the beautiful rock exterior to the warm, colorful interior, it reminded me of old town San Diego. The parking lot was filled with cars which is always a good sign. We were greeted with smiles and only waited about 5-10 min to be seated. I've been here twice in one week and decided it needed to be reviewed. I want to give a big shoutout to Angie our waitress, who surprisingly waited on me both times. She was super sweet and attentive, gave many suggestions and we're glad she did. Everything was amazing!! The chips and salsa with the home made beans were a nice way to start the night. We ordered the blue pineapple margaritas as well as the mango and peach, they were all delicious and pretty big for the price, not to mention the perfect amount of liquor. For dinner I ordered the carne asada and the chicken super burrito. The carne asada was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The rice and beans were very good, but the homemade flour tortillas were incredible. Reminded me of something my grandma would make, you can tell they put lots of love into their meals. We also ordered the chicken enchilada suiza plate and shredded beef sopita with the chicken enchilada plate. Each meal was served on hot plates and not to mention very big portions, I've had to ask for a box each time. This place was very busy but it didn't stop the staff or the manager from walking around checking on each table making sure everyone had what they needed. Everyone was nice and friendly, made you feel like family. I will definitely be making this place my go to spot for authentic Mexican food.

    Shredded beef Chimichanga plate - to go
    Mariah F.

    Grabbed some dinners to go. I got the shredded beef chimichanga. It comes with beans/cheese & rice on the size. Tomatoes & lettuce to garnish. I was a bit disappointed it didn't come with guacamole or sour cream on top. Comes with a small container of salsa and a small bag of chips to split with the other meals. Food was really good and filling. The chimichanga the filling felt like it wasn't spread out well cause I had a few bites with just beans / pepper inside and plain tortilla so I had to dig a bit for the meat. But ! Overall very yummy. Especially for take out.

    Margarita Flight

    Great food. Great drinks and really good prices. We like it. We had one of the two selections of margaritas flights and we plan on trying the other one next time

    See all

    Food was ok. Nothing stood out as far as flavor or quality. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance was ok, a little dark.

    Everytime I come to Springfield, I stop here and have a couple street tacos,or I'll get a yummy…read moreburrito to fuel myself for the day. It's not much when you walk or drive by, but it's really the quality of the food that comes out. The employees that are there are nice and friendly, and they're super quick when making an order. I love this place and always look forward to coming for a visit.

    I came here with a friend last week. This place has been here forever, but it's the kind of place…read morewhere if you blink, you miss it. Parking is on the street only. There is no dedicated lot. I wasn't even sure they were open when we stopped by. It took a few minutes to find an employee. Once we did, he was kind and helpful. I ordered four tacos, and I forget what my friend ordered. But it wasn't an expensive lunch. We waited for what seemed like forever for everything to be ready. Walking around outside, the building looks like a shack. I'm not even sure there is running water inside. It has the same siding as the apartments behind it, so I wonder if it's ran by someone who lives there? Or if they cook in their home and bring it there? I have no idea. This seems very similar to Joey's Pizza in that as long as you close your eyes and don't pay attention to where your food is coming from, it'll be great. Food itself was quite tasty and enjoyable. We took ours to-to and went home. Seating is an outdoor table only. Which seems more appropriate just for waiting to get the food than to actually eat it there. Would I return? If I happen to be driving by and they're open, yes. I can't say I'd go out of my way to eat here though. But it was certainly tasty for a tiny little dive.
