Review update: 3/19/26; Haven't been here since the last two star review I gave and although it was extremely busy, I have to say everything was quite tasty. We all enjoyed our meals, and my steak was cooked as it should, and it was the type of steak it should've been from the beginning. I'm glad to see that they made some adjustments or maybe when I went last time it was just a bad day, but everything was good, I do feel that they didn't give me enough rice and they no longer serve you guacamole on your plate like they used to back in the day however, I enjoyed my meal. Glad we came back. read more

This place is delicious, and one of only two restaurants I've found that offer authentic Mexican food. Both my non-vegetarian husband and I found delicious items on the menu, and the service was very good. The wait times are a bit too long but that won't stop me from going back. read more

We came here on a friend's recommendation, as they raved about the food. There were seven of us, and they seated us at a large table. The restaurant is a decent size with welcoming atmosphere, and the staff was friendly. Our waiter was great, checking on us frequently. I ordered the chicken soup, which came with rice and vegestables. Warm and comforting on a rainy day. My husband had the birria taco, his all time favorite, it was packed with flavor, crispy on the outside and paired with a delicious sauce. All of our friends enjoy their meals as well. We left happy and satisfied. Highly recommend! read more

Rancho Chico is a good option for Mexican food if you are in the Saint Cloud, Florida area and craving Mexican food. The ambiance here is nothing high-end or fancy, but that is okay by me. In fact, I have long felt that the best Mexican food comes from these humble, mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall type places and not some fancy restaurant with an emphasis on ambiance and vibe. The service here is friendly enough and the menu was filled with the usual items associated with countless Mexican restaurants. I went with a burrito and it was an overall decent option and if you are looking for a recommendation, I would definitely recommend a burrito from here. All in all, Rancho Chico is a good option for Mexican food if you are in the general area. Go check it out. read more

Always amazing food! Service is great too. I've never been disappointed when visiting Rancho Chico

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! read more

The food was tasty, the service was orderly and timely, the prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was lively and in theme.

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

I just got back from eating here with my boyfriend!! It was a last minute thing and it was a good one. The place is nice and it does have a Mexican decor going on. The place wasn't packed. We got seated seconds we were greeted by the waiter. The salsa and tortilla chips are good. Surprisingly the salsa was not spicy woohoo on my part. Usually the salsa in other places be hot this one was good. After 3 hours in the DMV I was hungry and thirsty. I order the regular size frozen lime margarita to start off. It was delicious. It had an amazing balance of juice and alcohol. It was good. To eat I got the steak fajita lunch plate with corn tortilla. It was on point. I don't know what it is how they be doing the yellow rice and the beans but is good. My boyfriend got the steak bowl and it was good as well and he also approved of it. He's extremely meticulously about his food and he was beyond pleased. I will be coming back to this place. The food, liquor and service is A+. You will get your moneys worth here!! read more

This is a nice little Mexican restaurant located in St. Cloud across from Mercury Marine. The food is always good and plentiful. My favorites are chicken fajitas, burritos and many of their salads. The service is usually excellent and the servers are always there to refill your drinks and give you extra salsa and chips. The ambiance is typical of most Mexican restaurants with lots of chattering and Mexican music. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place gets a 4 star. The place it's little but very cozy. And the decorations is very nice, specially the details on the chairs. We visited in a Monday afternoon and it was not to busy. The server Micheal was great. He was the only one working taking care of more than 5 tables , and he didn't miss a beat! He even recommended some drinks choices for my hubby. The food was delicious full of flavor. We didn't even waited 15 minutes, when it arrived. I will definitely visit again! read more

Been going here for YEARS. Literally the best Mexican restaurant for the price and portion. You get so much food and it tastes great! I usually get their Carne Asada or cheese enchiladas. I recently tried their steak fajita bowl and really enjoyed it. I can get at least 2 meals out of it. I'm obsessed with their queso dip and love their salsa (sometimes it's not consistent though, depends on who makes it). The place is not the prettiest but you know when you see those orange, yellow and green colors that it's going to be good food! read more

We have been coming to Ranch Chico maybe for about 6 years now. I was kind of upset today when I realized I have never actually reviewed the restaurant. Being one of our favorite spots for authentic Mexican food and Margaritas, it's a given. This place when we first started coming, was smaller, slowly expanded to adding additional space and more TVs. Their food quality is 100 percent authentic and probably one of the best Mexican spots in St Cloud area and probably in Kissimmee. To me it stands as one of the top 10 in Central Florida, that's just me. Lunch prices are excellent for a quick bite while on break. They are great size portions and the selection is excellent. The drinks are on point and very nice flavored margaritas with a nice selection of Tequila, while still having a full bar to cater to everyone's choices. Definitely a place to try. Let me know what you thought. read more

I am from California where Mexican restaurants abound both good and bad. I would rate Rancho Chico among the best out there, and definitely among the best I have found in Florida. Their service is always polite and attentive, the food is authentic and delightful, and the ambiance is decent and not distracting. Cannot ask for more. read more

Food is good, service is excellent. Needs improve with the bathroom appearance. Always been a great family restaurant.

We are from Texas and this food was good but not what we were expecting compared to tex-mex food. The chips were OK and the salsa was good but came in small portions. The brief time we were in the restaurant the restaurant seemed full and full of happy customers you will have to try it and see if yourself. read more

This is a great restaurant! The ambiance is festive and fun. The food is very good! We love their fajitas, enchiladas, burritos etc. The staff is very efficient and friendly. Also good salsa!!!!! We drive a ways to get here. It is always worth it!!!!! It is our go to! read more

We were seated immediately upon entry at a booth and then we immediately asked to move to a table due to comfort issues and we were obliged by one of the other servers. We sat down and began to peruse the extensive menu and admire the decor of the restaurant when our server Chris came over. He was extremely friendly and happy to have us visit. He took our drink order and entree order as we had found the combination plates on the menu. We love sampling a little bit of everything. I ordered Combination 30, the Taco, Enchilada and Tostada. Then we settled into our chips and salsa. The salsa was definitely homemade, nice big chunks, but lacking in heat. Before we knew it our piping hot plates were brought out with our delicious assortments. I decided to try each item with a different meat, so my taco was ground beef, the enchilada was chicken and the tostada was shredded beef. Out of all of them the tostada was my favorite and by the time we were finished we were quite satisfied. This was great meal with good service. Happy Dining! read more
