    Shrimp bowl no cheese
    D. M.

    Big menu, great service and good food. Lots of seating. Steak and shrimp fajitas are both great and this is coming from a picky meat eater. Steak meat isn't tough or fatty and shrimp is pretty big and they give you plenty. The asada bowl and shrimp bowl are both good. IMO it's all a little bland but I'll take bland over poor quality and high price. Nothing a little hot sauce can't fix. I'm glad this place is here. Please try it, it's decent!

    Best Mexican breakfast I have had in a long time. Also beautiful decor and just an amazing experience.

    BEST Carnita Chicken fajitas love the margaritas and the service by Luis..this is our local go to when in Springfield IL!

    Birria Taco
    Kayla M.

    Stopped here after a long day at the state fair and was not expecting to have some of the best authentic Mexican food I've ever had! The guacamole was made tableside and was truly in the top 3 tastiest guacamoles of my life. We also got the birria tacos queso style and they were very tender and flavorful. Rice and beans were great too!

    Virgin Pina Colada

    Food was a little on the greasy side but good overall, especially for a quick bite.. Fries, na drinks, and rice were highlights.

    Chimichanga Classica
    Lisa I.

    Ordered DoorDash from Rancho Chico today after never having been there. It was fantastic! The chimichanga was nice and crisp and packaged separately from the beans and rice which kept it from getting too soggy from the beans. The beans and rice were delicious, too. Our tostada side was also very good, but did get soggy due to the toppings. Even so, the flavors were still great and it was a huge portion size for being a side order. We will definitely be making a trip to the restaurant itself to sit down for a meal soon, and are very excited to try more of their menu!

    Asada Burrito
    Marissa T.

    Great food and even better service. Everyone was so kind. I couldn't believe the size of the asada burrito. You definitely will leave full.

We were seated promptly and got our drinks in a reasonable amount of time. The complimentary chips and salad appeared almost immediately. The chips were fresh and the salad was house made. Maybe a tad bland for my taste but my friend really enjoyed it. The beans and rice were your standard fare hut I really enjoyed the rice. My friend liked her enchilada and burrito with ground beef. I really liked the shrimp, which came with two soft taco. The shrimp were well cooked and the salsa based sauce was flavorful but not spicy. Overall the portion size was just the right size. Service could have been a bit more attentive, we had to wait a whole for our check but not big deal. You do pay at the counter, not the table. We paid $53 before taxes for two drinks and two dinners.

Our server was Oscar (aka "Whiskey" we found out later) who seemed to be in a huge hurry for us to order. We appreciate the efficiency of us being seated and given menus so quickly but after our drink orders he was there in like 10 seconds ready to take our food order even though we had just received the menu. We asked for more time and he came back again no joke in 60 seconds. Asked for more time and again was back in like 30 seconds. Sigh. As soon as our food came out he disappeared. Didn't check to see how our food was until we flagged him down for another round of drinks. He was friendly just seemed in a hurry. Other than that our experience was great. The place has a very authentic feel. The cheese dip is melty gooey goodness. I got shrimp timpico which was very good. Lots of shrimp in a spicy sauce. My friend got ground beef and queso as a meal. My brother got a quesadilla Del Mar. Everything came out very fast and hot. We loved this place and would come back for sure.

I ordered a chicken chimichanga and my wife ordered a chicken quesadilla. I didn't read the details on the menu but the chimichanga is not a typical filling and when I checked the menu again it says deep fried or baked burrito do it had rice and beans in the filling and was very large. Despite the unexpected filling it was still good but I couldn't eat all of it. My wife's quesadilla was exactly what she expected and she said it was good. I will definitely return and explore more of the menu.

We got some chips and salsa as we waited. I'm pretty sure that the chips were house made since they were different from other kinds of tortilla chips I had. The salsa was good, but I definitely would've loved a little more spice to it. We got the Enchiladas Suizas and a Fajita Burrito. The burrito was pretty good, but if I were to go again I'd probably choose something different from the Enchiladas. Just was not for me. I did like how spicy they were though! One thing that also stood out was that much of the time when I go to Mexican restaurants, the portions are pretty big for the prices. The portions were definitely not tiny, but smaller than I would maybe expect for a Mexican restaurant for the price that we paid. I'm not sure if we would choose to go back in the future since it was a stop along the way for a trip for us, but it was not a bad stop. They do have a large parking lot out front which makes parking super easy and that is always a huge plus!

    Authentic Mexican Flavors with a Beautiful Presentation!…read more This place serves some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while! I ordered the green enchiladas, and they were absolutely delicious--perfectly rolled tortillas filled with flavorful meat, smothered in a rich green sauce, and drizzled with crema and queso fresco. The refried beans were smooth and creamy, and the rice was fluffy with a great seasoning. The burrito was a showstopper! Stuffed with tender steak and grilled veggies, then topped with a creamy, slightly spicy sauce and fresh pico de gallo. The drizzle of crema and queso fresco gave it an extra layer of indulgence. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the portion size was very generous! Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. If you're craving authentic Mexican food with bold flavors and beautiful plating, this spot is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back! Would highly recommend!

I thought the chicken was stringy and tough but I agreed with her about the beef and the tortillas themselves were great. Neither of us liked the chips and salsa...the chips were dry and the "salsa" tasted like tomato sauce that had a little hot sauce added to it. The atmosphere was tired and, on a day when it was 100-plus outside either the air conditioning couldn't keep up or, worse, hadn't been turned on at all.
