Had a great visit to Rancho Allegra! There's a great family atmosphere, the staff is super friendly and the food is delicious!! I wish there was a take out option that didn't require delivery but that's really my only downside. It did look like some of the names on the menu items were different than what is shown online, but we enjoyed everything we ordered. The chips and salsa were delicious. We ordered the enchiladas rancheras, enchiladas Jalisco, and the steak and eggs. All the food had great flavor and everyone was satisfied with their meal- almost felt like someone's Tio or Tia was whipping up meals for everyone. We will definitely be back for more! read more

The food here was delicious! We had a little bit of everything, molcajete, surf and turf, seafood fajitas, and queso fundido. All of it was excellent, cooked well, and tasty. The salsa and green chile sauce had a nice little heat to them. The micheladas were fantastic. Our server was kind and generous. You knew it would be good because they had the wooden art carved chairs. We are excited to go back. read more

Um, yum! My boyfriend and I only live about 5 minutes away and decided that this would definitely be one of our go to spots in the area. When we first walked in, the smell threw me off as it was kind of like a cleaning/stale smell to me. I soon got over it, however. We were allowed to choose where we wanted to sit and chose a booth with plenty of other options as well. We ordered Queso Fundido, my boyfriend got 5 asada tacos, and I got the carne asada. Everything was so flavorful, warm, and just delicious overall. We also got the fried ice cream which was unlike any fried ice cream I've had before-it was fried in a different shape and pretty yummy. We can't wait to try everything else on the menu. Service was kind, came at appropriate time intervals, and I have no complaints. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Food not good. They used something other than ground beef. They sell it as ground beef, but it's not it smells and it's too too small crumbly it just was not good. The service the waitress took forever to come take our order. She took forever to refill our drinks, it was not a good experience. The ambience was not good. They made you feel like you were outsider. There was no homie feel or good vibe to the restaurant will not be going back and will never tell someone to go there to eat. read more

Food is Great! Watch for " service fee" added to your bill. More and more restaurants are adding " FEES" to your bill, you can contest it. I go to a restaurant, full service knowing I'm going to tip the staff, I will give less of a tip to staff if they pull this crap! read more

Once again rancho alegre did not disappoint. Met some friends there for breakfast and they have a great selection. The food tasted great. The service was prompt and attentive. The atmosphere was cool. I think more people should be hitting this little gem of a spot up. Only issue i had was that its advertised on menu and differwnt places that its open at 9am on Saturdays and Sundays. This is NOT the case. They open at 9:30am. read more

I had to tell you I was a little flabbergasted when I walked in given it was 11 o'clock, but I was really craving Huevos Rancheros and when I tell you my jaw hit the floor when I saw it was $18 it almost made me wanna leave because I wasn't expecting to pay that amount. Since it was a party at two and one of my favorite dishes is a molcajete we decided to split that instead. It was delicious. Definitely nice and savory. Came with flour tortillas, which I would've preferred handmade, but just a preference of mine.. our waitress was incredibly sweet and the restaurant is modern Mexican decor, and well kept up. Great place for some dinner options but if you're looking for affordable breakfast, definitely not the spot. read more

My wife and I ate lunch here for the first time. The restaurant is nicely appointed and inviting. The chips and salsa to start were fresh and tasty, though more seasoning would have helped. The huevos rancheros I ordered were good. The stars were the beans and rice, because the chili was a bit plain and had zero zip. My wife had a chili relleno and chicken chimichanga. Again, both were nice but would benefit from some additional seasoning. The service was fast and friendly. read more

My experience at Rancho Alegre was completely unacceptable and honestly appalling. While eating, I found a live ant crawling inside my ceviche. This wasn't a minor issue -- a live insect in a freshly served dish clearly points to serious sanitation and cleanliness problems in the kitchen. When we brought this to the staff's attention, their response was not only dismissive -- it was downright unprofessional. We asked to speak with a manager or the owner, and they refused to give us a name or let us talk to anyone in charge. There was no apology, no sense of concern, and no accountability whatsoever. To make matters even worse, they still tried to charge us for the ceviche, the very dish that had live ants in it. That is absolutely unacceptable. Any responsible restaurant would immediately remove the item and apologize for the health risk -- instead, they acted like nothing was wrong. This wasn't just disgusting -- it was disrespectful and alarming. Rancho Alegre failed at the most basic level of food safety and customer service. I will never return, and I strongly urge others to avoid this place until serious changes are made -- or until the health department steps in. Lo que viví en Rancho Alegre fue totalmente inaceptable y sinceramente indignante. Mientras comía, encontré una hormiga viva dentro del ceviche. No fue un error menor: un insecto vivo en un plato recién servido es una señal clara de que hay graves problemas de higiene y limpieza en la cocina. Cuando informamos al personal, su respuesta fue no solo indiferente, sino completamente irresponsable y poco profesional. Pedimos hablar con el gerente o el dueño y se negaron a darnos su nombre o permitirnos hablar con alguien a cargo. No hubo disculpas, ni preocupación, ni un mínimo de responsabilidad. Para colmo, ¡nos quisieron cobrar el ceviche que tenía hormigas vivas! Eso es totalmente inaceptable. Cualquier restaurante serio habría retirado el plato de la cuenta de inmediato y pedido disculpas por poner en riesgo la salud del cliente -- pero aquí actuaron como si no pasara nada. Esto no solo fue asqueroso -- fue una total falta de respeto al cliente. Rancho Alegre falló en lo más básico: la seguridad alimentaria y el servicio al cliente. No pienso volver nunca, y recomiendo que nadie lo haga. Ojalá las autoridades de salud tomen cartas en el asunto. read more

This place is expensive!! So we did not venture too far into the menu for our family of 4. We got an appetizer sampler which was about $20 and then 5 street tacos for $16. Honestly, we would have left without ordering but had already sat down and ordered drinks. Definitely check the menu prices before you go if that is a concern of yours. The restaurant itself was ok but did smell of sewer. Maybe because the bathrooms are up front? I gave it a 3 because we didn't really try the food but the photos online do look really good. But like I mentioned, just way too expensive. read more

Food is ok..there are several other Mexican restaurants around that are better. They use to do a great taco deal on tuesdays $1.50-$1.75 for carnita or chicken taco. I was informed that they don't have that anymore or don't do specials. read more

A low-key Mexican restaurant with a nice vibe, great staff and tasty food! Walked in at 12:30 and there was hardly anyone inside which makes me sad because the food is great. There are a couple tvs and there are several different seating areas. They could also definitely accommodate bigger parties as it wasn't busy. Every staff member that we had an interaction with greeted us with a smile and were lovely people. The menu is extensive and it was hard for me to choose something to eat. I decided to go with a safe option and got the order of 5 carnitas tacos for only 11.95. I got 2 more tacos for the same price compared to another place I went to a month before. A great value for the price and wow were they juicy and flavorful. Some of the best I have ever had! I wish I had ate here sooner because this might just be my go to Mexican restaurant from now on! read more

First time going to Rancho Alegre. Service and food were excellent! Restaurant is nice and clean. We will definitely be back!

This place is the real deal! Huge portions, fresh and tasty. The service was super friendly. There were two birthdays being celebrated while we were there and the whole team came out and was super festive! It makes me want to have my birthday here. The restaurant is big and the seats are comfy. 10/10 would highly recommend! read more

Tried the vegetarian enchiladas two times now and they are absolutely the best in town. If you like good food this is it.

Rude wait staff- Explained I just flew in and was waiting for a friend, and that I just needed a booth with a charger. When I was told no, I said I was happy to spend my money here, and the staff promptly turned away and proceeded to ignore me when I asked again, if I could just have permission to use an electric box. Bummed to not get a margarita, but life goes on. The pho 777 across the parking lot was much more accommodating. read more

The food is authentic and their menu is extensive. I remember having leftovers the last time I went and had ordered a main dish. This time I ordered their tacos that were on special and they were great. The portions were big enough for sharing. Comes with chips and salsa, which is always a nice touch. Try to not sit close to the bathrooms. read more

My son and I came in for breakfast. I ordered their omelet and hash browns. This came smothered in green chili. I have to say it was pretty good. The portion size was perfect. The menu is a bit pricey. Our server was amazing. She was very kind and helpful. The restaurant was kept very nice and clean. read more

Delish good. Great customer service and reasonable price Quiet environment and the margaritas are amazing read more

Came to this place for some chilaquiles and micheladas. They were tasty and definitely exceeded my expectations. The service is great and fast :). We came in on a Monday morning, so not too crowded but definitely received a few phone orders. I highly recommend this to anyone with a Mexican breakfast craving. read more

I'm not from around here (CT) but my group found this based on reviews. The skinny margarita was strong on orange flavor (I love orange) so I thought it was delicious. The only little negative was the amount in the glass is smaller compared to a regular margarita. The chips/salsa has really good flavor. For my meal I got the chicken tacos. Five street size tacos. Delicious! And for the price, can't beat it. The servers were very polite and accommodating with our larger group of 9. read more

Tried this again a few days ago & it's definitely improved. Had the carnita tacos & even though they don't come with rice & beans, there was plenty of meat & the salsa was tasty. The salsa they had for the chips as well as the chips could use a defibrillator but their "cheese dip" as it states on the menu was a good & lg portion. read more

We ordered from here on a Friday night through DoorDash. Food was ready and delivered quickly, still warm! We ordered - 1. Trios de Carnes plate 2. Queso fundido 3. House Enchiladas Total was $45 before tax & tip. Everything was delicious! Queso fundido was BOMB. Generous chorizo & came with small flour tortillas. House enchiladas came with 2 beef stuffed enchiladas smothered in red sauce and sides of rice & refried beans. Everything was delicious & we would absolutely order from here again. read more

The food was scrumptious, so yummy. The service was exceptional. It had the feel of a true Mexican restaurant. Thank y'all for the yummy food. I will be back again and again and again and again, etc. Happy camper here! Thanks again. read more

From the outside it was difficult to tell that it was a restaurant. Of course, there was the sign above the building but the door was off to the left. However, when you walk in it became obvious that someone cares deeply about this place and put in a lot of effort making it appear authentic and well cared for. Hand carved seats custom painted and comfortable. Hand painted tables that were sealed and booths that were clean and artistic. The food was a solid 4. I had the enchiladas suizas and the flavors were excellent. The ground beef was tasty. The chicken acted like it had been boiled first but it was very edible. The rice and beans were fresh and hot. Sauces tasted home made and had lots of flavor. However, the salsa and chips were average. The salsa for the chips was a bit watery. I would've liked to see more chunks of tomatoes and onions etc. Overall, I'd go back again! read more

We got delivered some food from here first time and not very impressed, first it's very price, and got wrong order I asked for steak fajita and chicken fajita, chicken wasn't fajita it was chicken taquitos, steak was very little and I got couple of soups and the bill was $66, like I said the food was very little and we didn't even eat the chicken staff because it was bad, steak fajita was ok, one of the soups was ok too, anyways it's not the right place if you want Mexican for sure read more

When I saw this place was rated a 4 star I was hopeful. We were visiting from out of town, so didn't have much to go on. The food was DELICIOUS, and the drinks were too (except my jalapeño margarita was a little too spicy for me). However, service was terribly lacking...maybe it was an off night or a language barrier, but we had to ask for things way too often like water, chips and tortillas and our tab and felt like a bother when we shouldn't have especially because it wasn't even that busy. If I were to visit this area again I would never come back to this restaurant. read more

From the outside, the place looked deserted. It was almost 7 PM on a Monday night and was empty, aside from the employees. My fiancé and I walked in anyway and we were immediately greeted by the host and seated. We ordered 2 fishbowl margaritas while we looked over the menu. After the ID check, the bartender/server went right away and came back with deliciously strong margs!! I ordered the combination plate 1 and my fiancé ordered the pork, chicken and beef fajitas and 2 crispy Chile rellenos. THE FOOD WAS SUPER TASTY!! My chicken enchilada and tamale was covered in cheese and sauce and it was perfect; my taco was crispy and stuffed just the right amount. Of course, I had to get in on my fiancé's fajitas and those were pretty great as well! The say don't judge a book by the cover and again, it's proven to be true. We will definitely be back!! read more

My family of five went to this restaurant after a soccer tournament, and wanted Mexican food. Saw what was around us and this restaurant had amazing reviews BUT they're WRONG. My daughter got a kids nachos and it was only chips with melted shredded cheese on it, for 9 DOLLARS. My husband got a tamales and it was INEDIBLE. Our servicer was super nice but never checked on us. They also never gave us our cheese dip which we were so badly craving. Plus side to this restaurant, I got a tostada and it was great. My other daughter got a kids quesadilla and she loved it and ate it all. read more

Delicious! Queso Fondido was delicious and normally I don't care for it. Asada (steak) burrito was delicious. I got the combo chicken and steak fajitas and they were exceptional! Guacamole and pico were fresh and yummy. We will eat here again! read more

Been here three times. 1st time, I had snapper it seemed q little over done. The last time I was there I got a smothered ground beef burrito. The burrito was too salty. The ground beef had a weird taste to it that I couldn't put my finger on. The staff seemed friendly but one guy always called me boss. I dont like to be called boss. read more

My first time in this place was a to go order. While I waited, I saw the typical family restaurant activity. The girls are a bit attached to there cell phones, but it wasn't busy. I got the chicken tostadas to go. I was starving and rushing to work. The tostadas did the trick. They weren't amazing, but the portions were very reasonable. I'm going to go back and have a proper meal, but I liked what I got, and the price was fair. read more
