    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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.

You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in the quality of the ingredients and preparation. Huge kudos to Chef Frankie for delivering such a phenomenal meal. Everything from the steak to the sides was well executed and beautifully presented. Our server, Aubrey, was fantastic and truly elevated the experience. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu without ever making us feel rushed. Her service made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. We also have to mention the banana fosters cheesecake for dessert--it was absolutely amazing and the perfect way to end the meal. Rich, flavorful, and something we would come back for on its own. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and standout service. Between Chef Frankie's incredible cooking and Aubrey's attentive service, this steakhouse is definitely a place we will return to and highly recommend

Hard to describe this place. It was decorated like an old time speakeasy. There was a pianist doing Billy Joel songs which was quite good. And the patrons here were top notch. Liked the tree they have up all year, the theme for February was Valentines. Frankie is the chef and she is making magic here. Had the short ribs and it came with rosemary and garlic mash and brussels. Can't believe how very delicious this was and it was 5 star quality and worth every penny of it's $36 price. One of the best meals I have had in months. The bananas foster cheese cake is to die for. Actually everything was great. The food, drinks and such friendly service. So in love with Phyre Brewery & Tavern. Crystal and Kristen were our bartenders. Kristen made a smoked old fashion which was awesome. It was a little on the sweet side, but definitely awesome. See the videos. They also have a Clydes old fashioned which is garnished with their phyre bacon. Aubrey and Allie were taking care of the tables, but got to meet them too and they were awesome. There is Karaoke here on Mondays... so definitely have to come back and check that out!

I indulged in about two different types of coffee, one hot one cold any suggestions the barista offers taken it you will not be disappointed. I have a friend that moved to the area not so long ago. I want to find more excuses to come visit her, but it needs to be a lot earlier before they close because when they're close, I have no desire to drive there because if I go to St. Cloud, this is my other spot to go so if you want your coffee early, get there early beautiful spot wonderful staff and the coffee is just amazing five star is underrated so I could double it I would.

The big reason I'm knocking it a star is the pricing. My waffle (small) was $13. I could go get a whole meal at chipotle or a food spot for that. Over all everything I bought here, 1 drink, 2 food items was almost $40. Too pricey IMO! They don't have prices anywhere either like others state, that's annoying to me. Overall would definitely come back, just wish they worked on lowering the prices
