many many moons ago when I lived in Colville, this was our go to place on Friday nights for dinner it was quite surprising for me to discover that this place was still open for business 30 years later when I came back to visit. The fajitas were top-notch and the service was spectacular. We had about 10 of us that met for dinner and we had an excellent time. I was very happy to see that this place survived Covid. read more

Came back again and the food and offerings are expanded! I was happy to order horchata drink (rice milk with cinnamon and touch of sweetness). There happy hour runs from 12pm-3pm - check the photo. I had the quesa birria as an entree, delicious beef with sour cream and guacamole. The portions are still as generous. Service was great! A casual atmosphere that is family and date friendly. read more

Absolutely our favorite place to eat dinner in Stevens County; we come once a week. Everything made with chicken is excellent. My mom made excellent enchiladas and theirs are right up there. We've been eating here since 2003. The food and service are consistently five stars. read more

Very, very solid place to eat in such a small town. Free salsa, chips come with every meal and you get seated almost immediately. The best thing there is the Seafood Chimichanga. For a while it wasn't listed on the menu, but It might be back on there now. Never care to look, because I know what I'm getting as soon as I get there. It's about as thick as my (admittedly small) forearm. Whenever I eat here I always have to get a to go box due to the AMOUNT of food they give you. Beans and rice are also included, and they're PIPING HOT. You'd usually have to drive into Spokane to have a meal this good, but the Rancho Chico out in Colville is a hidden gem out in rural NE Washington. Bonus points for the free little desert they give you at the end of every meal. A sugar chip with some whipped cream and strawberry! read more

Good food with ample amount of food served on the plate. Comfortable surroundings in the restaurant in terms of seating. The staff are friendly and will make the effort to ask if everything is as you wish. read more

Leaving this updated review just highlight how good the Enchiladas Mole are! Superb! Rancho Chico continues to serve excellent food! read more

Friendly, attentive waitstaff. Awesome, authentic Mexican food. I live 53 miles away, I wouldn't travel 106 miles just for Mexican food but i have come up with a reason to go to North 40 so i would have an excuse to take the family to Rancho Chico for a Macho Chilli Colorado Burrito wit extra jalapeños. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant in colville. There is competition, but this is the place to go. Large portions with appropriate prices. The chicken mole is absolutely delicious. If you go here for a birthday you'll have a fun singing and sombrero experience! Be careful if you order desert, they are much larger than expected! read more

Unexpectedly excellent Mexican food. It's a small-town, building is older & a bit run down, but the food was great, and the service was quick and friendly. Prices very reasonable (1/2 of the cost for the same dish in Spokane). I will definitely return...if you're close by, I encourage you to give them a try. read more

I can safely say that I have found LEGIT Mexican food up here in the PNW! I've been wanting to try this place ever since we moved here. Back then it seemed they were the only Mexican restaurant around. Well, there are others but Rancho Chico tops them all. The outside looks like it's a small place. HA! Don't let that fool you. The interior is large, spacious and busy. A vibrantly colorful interior and "musica" playing transports you. Being a native S Texan, it felt like home. When we were walking in, I overheard one customer say how much she liked the chorizo con huevos she had. SOLD! That's what I wanted to order. Once seated, someone brought out the standard chips and salsa ... BUT, they also set a plate down of chopped cabbage, onions and jalapeños - like a small "salad." Come to find out, it's to make yourself a "mini tostada" with the chips and salsa. BRILLIANT and very tasty! Our plates arrived and they were HOT and fragrant. The chorizo had bits of grilled onions and red peppers - which really amp'd up the flavor. The Spanish rice could've used more seasoning, but adding some of their spicy house salsa on it helped a lot. The beans were smooth and had good flavor. My bride's plate had an enchilada and a taco. While she was impressed with the enchilada, she said the taco was "lacking." Trying it, I'm inclined to agree. One more pleasant surprise was the tortillas! It would be so easy for them to just use commercial tortillas, but they're making their own! That, by itself, gets a star. Service was excellent - started off a little slow but, once our order was taken, the level of attention really ramped up. At the end of our meal, we were even given a little "pilon" of a cinnamon tortilla chip with a strawberry drizzle and whipped cream. Oh my! We'll definitely be putting Rancho Chico down on our "short list" of go-to places for ourselves and when we get visitors. read more

I'm sad to say we are moving out of state and this will be the restaurant I miss the most. Rancho Chico is run by a lovely family, and every server there works incredibly hard. Service is extra fast, and I've never had a bad meal. I chose to go here for Mother's Day last month, and I had fajitas and an excellent frozen margarita. My husband says the Chili rellanos are the best he's ever had. read more

Was visiting there for work and loved this place for dinner, chips and salsa is delicious, service was okay and drinks were really good as well. The interior is really beautiful. Food was very flavorful and came out fast. Very reasonable price read more

I would give this place a zero star if Yelp finally gets it. That is not carne azada, carne azada is cooked in open flame, this came from a fry pan!!! It's false advertisement! The audacity to charge $24.00 for it!!!! read more

Rancho Chico - This not carne asada, it's fried!!! - Mexican Near Me - Colville, Washington

Love the cabbage dish that comes with the chips, and good salsa. Had the carne burrito and it was great! Good portions and reasonable prices, and the strawberry margarita was good too. Food was fast! And they're one of the few places open past 8 pm. read more

The service was great. Friendly and served promptly. The food was pretty generic Mexican fare. Not the best I've had, nor was it the worst. Decent but nothing to write home about. read more

As promised, I stopped here again when passing through. Once again, the kitchen was absolutely fantastic. Fresh, great food! Friendly long-term staff who know their craft. Top notch everything. read more

This is my family's favorite restaurant in Colville. We love coming here to treat ourselves to a nice sit down dinner. The food is the best Mexican food we've had in Eastern Washington. The service is top notch. Very attentive and so kind to my young kids. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious fresh food, great service and authentic friendly atmosphere - especially Mario who accommodated our team of thirty in short notice! Great vegetarian and gluten free options. Highly recommend!! read more

Some food can be good. Stay away from the chili relleno as it is an omelet. Also be aware that if you order shredded beef enchiladas they use half pork. Very deceptive if you ask me. When we asked them there answer was "cut it open, there is beef" barely any! Also we mentioned it again to the manager and all he said was "so"?????? The rice is usually good but this night it was very undercooked. When we mentioned it all he could say was "yes it was this time " Very disappointing to have them act like they just care and we were left feeling uncomfortable. What if you had a religious problem with eating pork? We ask him and he just shrugs his shoulder and say don't know! read more

Love the service and workers there. They treat everyone like family and the food is amazing. Best place to eat in Colville.

This place was given many chances to get it right... we will not go back even if invited to be taken there for free.

Mario was very attentive and polite. Really appreciate the service and the food was delicious. Would 100% recommend. read more

Rancho Chico - the entrance to a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Colville, Washington

The staff is excellent. Service is good, tho I had to wait a while to get noticed when I wanted my check. The food is very well prepared. Portions are generous. But the flavors were so very bland. Where was the spice, the fire?? There was no side of salsa or any option for traditional Mexican heat. The bottle of salsa at the table was middle of the road bland. I understand that not everyone wants their eyes to water and their mouth to burn, but shouldn't those at least be options in a restaurant that claims authenticity? I'd go there again because the food is ok, service is good and prices fair, but my interest and enjoyment levels would be medium at best. read more

This is an update to my review of Rancho Chico from 2 years ago. Whatever changes they've implemented in the kitchen and staff raises my rating to 5 stars. The past 4 times I've visited Rancho Chico has been excellent. The food is Mexican authentic and served hot, and the service attentive and friendly. Definitely now my 'go to place' when I'm in town.This is an update to my review of Rancho Chico from 2 years ago.

I literally stepped and walked right out in a matter of one minute... very rude guy at reception, irritable and mean ... hopefully their food is better than their attitude. read more

**AVOID IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES**We came to Colville to take my MIL to lunch for her birthday and Racho Chico was a favorite of family who live in the area. My daughter ordered a Signature Rancho Enchilada that was listed on the menu as having their "signature enchilada sauce". After 5 bites she began to have an allergic reaction to something she was eating. Her mouth began to swell, and I took her to the truck for medications. My daughter has an anaphylactic PEANUT ALLERGY. When other family asked the waitress, she stated that there was PEANUT in the "special enchilada sauce". We left and took her strait to the hospital where she was treated with IV medications and monitored for several hours. Our daughter has had a known PEANUT ALLERGY for over 20 years and is always diligent about what she eats. Mexican food has always been safe for her and nowhere on the menu did it disclose there were PEANUTS in the sauce, nor have we ever encountered PEANUT as an ingredient in Mexican food. After she was released from the hospital I called and spoke to a gentleman who stated he was the manager. I wanted him to be aware of the situation and suggest changes to their menu listing PEANUTS in the sauce to avoid another person having an anaphylactic reaction with worse possible outcomes. He started off by saying that it was the customer's responsibility to ask if PEANUTS were present in the enchilada sauce and it was our fault for not asking. I advised that PEANUTS are one of the top 9 food allergens per the FDA and a small change to their menu could save a life. He never asked how our daughter was and simply went on that it was our fault for not asking. I was flabbergasted and ended the call stating that I would call the owner the next day. I was willing to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt that they were not aware of how dangerous undisclosed PEANUT ingredients can be, but their attitude was completely unacceptable. **AVOID IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES** read more

Could have been better....yep, sure could have been. Came here for lunch expecting a very satisfying meal. The plate was HOT but the food was only warm. I've enjoyed their Rancho Chico Burrito before (been 4-5 years) and had my hopes up. About the 3rd bite was all fat instead of meat (asked for shredded beef). The flour tortilla was gummy, don't know of another word. Positive? the chips and salsa were very good, service was fine. read more

If this was just a review based on the main course it would have been a 1. However they did have very good service, and their chips and salsa and pico were delicious. That is the only reason I gave it 3 stars. Food was edible at best. Flavorless. Will not be eating here again. read more

The best in town. Great food and incredible and timely service. The Restorant has stellar hours of operation and is always busy.

This place sucks. The service sucks if they don't know you then you don't get good service and the food is horrible not good Mexican food. And I do know good food. Go to the new Mexican restaurant in town way better food. read more

Best Mexican in Colville! Great tacos, bonitos and drinks by far in an authentic quizisr

We enjoyed the atmosphere - as nice as anything we have been into from San Diego which is where we live. Staff was nice and food was good. We were only disappointed with the chili relleno. Maybe we are spoiled but we will go back. Good Cadillac margaritas! read more

Always wonderful food and service. I love to order double its so good later. We've been going there for year fun atmosphere and friendly staff read more

Something changed from the last time we visited, not sure if it was owners, chefs or management but it was awful. The menu was completely different from before, my favorite dish the Pollo a la crema was nowhere to be found. The rice that used to be so good was bland and flavorless. I got a taco salad and the bottom of it was filled with about half an inch of liquid from what I believe the meat was cooked in. My sister and I were so disappointed. We talked so highly of this restaurant to my husband, about how delicious the food was and how he would love it. Much to our dismay and shock this food ended up being new for us just as much as it was for him. Being that we did have so many good experiences and visits in the past we will probably try it again but personally I don't have much hope. read more

Consistently the best restaurant on Colville. Fun atmosphere. Fast friendly service. Delicious food.

We were buzzing around north east Washington on our three day weekend. Stopped in Colville for the night. Ranch Chico was excellent. The place was packed and every table was full. Food on time. Clean. Takeout order accurate. Gentleman who took my order professional. We will stop again. Highly recommend shrimp fajitas read more

I ordered a Rancho chico burrito it was unsatisfactory to much plain rice not much chili verde a disappointment for my dinner

We had dinner at Rancho Chico and were not disappointed. I really enjoyed the food and service was first class. If your passing through Colville and looking for a great meal, this is your place. There is lots of parking in the back and the place is roomy. read more
