Rancho Chico was recommended to me by a local who said this restaurant is the best authentic Mexican food which it was. We, daughter and i, were pleasantly surprised how many cars and people were there at 5:00pm Friday. Good indication food is good! Plenty parking was seated and greeted as soon as we stepped in very friendly staff.

Been driving by here for years without stopping by until this year, I'm so glad we decided to stop by and check it out. The customer service is top notch and the food and prices are so great. The food is always freshly made and the portions are very generous. Very family friendly atmosphere.

Oh how we missed Rancho Chico since moving away from St. Cloud. Visited yesterday with the family and as usual food and service never disappoints. I know I myself was skeptical about trying this place due to previous reviews but I'm so glad I decided to give it a shot. I really love rancho chico and the staff! It was a family members birthday and the staff made it so funny and special for us. Love it!

Great food, great service, great prices! First time here and decided to give it a chance. I loved every bit of it! I am originally from San Antonio and very picky about my Mexican food - but finally I found a place I can love. They have lunch specials every day from 11-3, which is when we went, and couldn't believe how affordable it is.

I came here with my family on a random weekday and honestly it was all we were hoping for and maybe more. The food was tasty, the portions were large, the margs were tasty and large too, and it was just perfect for a family dinner. I honestly haven't eaten out at many restaurants in this area but I'd go back to Rancho Chico!

Good customer service. Large plates for cheap prices. A favorite spot for the Locals in St. Cloud area. Good place for large families. Great for drinks and Mexican food. Not far from the Turnpike. Awesome large outdoor seating for larger parties. Complimentary Chips and Fresh salsa that you can see the diced onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. Homemade chips. Chicken Taquitos are delicious. The Mexican Pizza is also really good. Chimichanga is perfectly crispy with cheese dip on the top! The Lambrusco Margarita is refreshing and delicious and you can get it on the rocks or frozen. Always support your local spots!

2 burritos (beef, chicken)

When your bestie wants Mexican Food for her birthday this is the only place she wants. You get so much good for your money (leftovers are great the next day for lunch). I ordered the 2 burritos meal (1 beef,1 chicken) it came with rice, beans and a salad. The food here is always delicious, the staff is very friendly and the drinks a always good!!

Pollo Con Queso

Food was great. Friendly staff who kept our drinks and chips filled. The Pollo Con Queso was fabulous. Not just chicken and cheese over rice, but lots of peppers and onions too. Great flavor.

We came here for a friends birthday and the food was amazing. The service needs a little work but overall terrific food and drinks. Our server seemed a little busy so it took him forever to take our drink orders and then forever for us to receive our drinks. We got our liquor before our water and not all of us got waters. Half of our large group was already seated so the chips and salsa were half gone. We asked for more and they never came until we asked again. Thankfully when they did come they were hot and fresh. Service needs work but it was late at night and perhaps they were understaffed. They made up for it when they brought out piping hot, fresh food and sang a charismatic Happy Birthday to our friend and placed a huge sombrero on her head. Most importantly the food here is delicious, authentic Mexican dishes! The portions are huge. The food is fresh! The quality is superb and you will leave very happy and full. We also ordered lots of Margaritas and I gotta say....these are some of the best I've ever had and the prices are very fair. I look forward to coming here again in a smaller group.

Authentic game tags in the bathroom

Welcome to Rancho Cucamonga! My bad it's Chico. I seen the name and couldn't get Cucamonga out of my head. Waitress do not appreciate I scatterbrain repeating Cucamonga. I'm just happy guacamole wasn't all Cucamonga. This restaurant was nice and busy chaste mean is good right? I came in and went right to go to the bathroom from a long trip. The bastard may not have been the cleanest bathroom in the world but I immediately file authentic gang tags in the bathroom. I thought boy Place must be really good if the local Zetas gang is tagging up the restroom of their favorite restaurant. Food came out pretty quickly it was hot and crispy. Portions were very large I totally worth what they were charging. Food also tasted good nothing negative to say here you. The salsa here is a little of the watery side we're not too bad at all. Where they lose some points is with the hot salsa. I was told this was hot and found it not to be hot whatsoever. It was pretty disappointing.

We stopped in here for lunch today and we're very happy that we did. The Fish & Chips and Mahi…read moreTacos were excellent and we had great service from Jennifer. We'll be back soon!

OK. This review is strictly for the food since I got it for takeout and I had delivered here, so…read morethis is only for the food. I can't give any scores on the ambience or the service, so OK. All right. So here goes. I'll give this place a solid three, maybe a 3 1/2. Here's the problem. Well let me let me give the positives first. The conch fritters were outstanding. A lot of conch meat and not a lot of filler. 5 out 5 . The mozzarella wedges not bad. Pretty much standard. That marinara sauce was from a can just admit it. It was lousy and then the fish and chips with the Mahi. The fish was outstanding. Well done. The batter was not soggy. It stayed crest for the most part of fish was good. Listen for that much money. I want more french fries in there. You literally gave me 10 french fries. In the end of the thing that's not excusable with the price of things where they are be a little more giving on the french fries. The remoulade Tartar sauce was was way too salty use. You can't use that much old base seasoning but overall the fish was good now here's my problem. And this is pretty much why I'm giving you three stars instead of giving you four or five. I lived. I worked and I cooked in Charleston South Carolina. I know how to make shrimp and grits. I know how to make it low country style like it's as it comes from what you served me. I appreciate your creativity but you don't put fried grit cakes and shrimp on a skewer. Let me call you and that is not shrimp and grits. Honestly, that's a mark of a lazy chef. If you can't make cheese grits and you don't know how to make cheese grits for shrimp and grits. I was a chef and I still am. I'll come over there. I'll teach you how to make a low country shrimp and grits. OK and it'll sell way better than that stuff. A fried GRITCAKE no . NOW the shrimp was cooked. Well it was nicely season. Good job on the shrimp. But like if you want me to come over there I'll show you how to cook it. You get you get $20 $25 for a bowl of that stuff. Instead of making that stuff. You can make cheese grits in a matter of minutes. OK all you need us some Bell peppers some good pepper, Jack cheese and come do it. I'll do it for free. Other than that. It was decent. Just let me help you. I don't mind coming over there and showing you how to do it. If you don't know how to do it. I really don't. But please don't do that. Again. If you, I know you're trying to be creative but that that's that's not. If you can't ruin a classic dish like that. I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound nasty and rude. But that's a lazy chef frying a great cake and putting it on skewer. No thanks. I'd love to come back maybe try something else but I certainly wouldn't be getting that again until you make some changes on that. But overall not a bad experience food wise. I can't. I'll have to come in and give you the rest.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is my go-to place for fast food. While I would never even remotely consider…read moretheir food anything even close to authentic Mexican food, it is still good and as an added bonus, it is relatively healthy (especially when compared to the food offerings from the international fast-food burger chains. My go-to at Chipotle is usually a burrito bowl and while I do change up the proteins a bit, my usually protein is usually chicken or steak. Sometimes, I will get half chicken and half asada. I have also been having their carnitas more and more. The staff here were friendly enough and while the place has a definite fast-food restaurant ambience, it is cool enough to sit back and enjoy your lunch or dinner. Chipotle is a great choice if you are looking for a fast-food experience. The price is decent, the food is good and again, it is relatively healthy. I would definitely recommend here and give it five stars overall.

This must have been my third or fourth chance to give this chipotle, location, (who could never…read moreseem to get any online app orders right) another chance. If it's not the undercooked rice, cold rice, lack of flavor on the fajita veggies it the overall lack of accuracy on app orders. Guacamole is extra and they always seem to forget it and I paid for that. I'm not sure how many more chances I can give this location to get their stuff together. My suggestion is that they have a quality person reviewing each online order before they bag it because clearly the person serving the meals are in too much of a rush to pay attention to detail . When you order on the app, you can't tell that your order is wrong until you're home about to eat and indulge in your order and then you're slapped with an overwhelming sadness that you got exactly what you did not ask for. Very sad - it's like they think they can give you free items on the app to help rectify their incompetencies
