First and foremost the customer service is outstanding. Secondly the food was very excellent. And of course the place was clean and new. I can't wait till they get the outdoor patio areas open. For the people complaining about waiting or smashed chips. We waited for about 20 minutes at 5pm on Saturday. The place is new and is packed. Also yes some chips were broken up guess what it was an easy fix we kindly asked for new chips, they were on it right now, we never ran out of chips salsa and beans.. So in the end let's try and support this place. It's the best I have had in Albany!! Like hands down. Ps they also have home made tortillas!! That's a big win!! read more

So, this is a fairly new place in Albany and we decided to give it a go. First, the staff were pleasant and despite being fairly busy they remained attentive. The space is new and clean and open, it was a bit noisy but not uncomfortably so. There are a lot of options on the menu. I had a chile Colorado burrito, which is my litmus test for Mexican places. Theirs was pleasant but not as flavorful as I would like. A little bland actually. Wife got enchiladas and said they were delicious. Daughter got tacos and had no complaints. There was a peculiar burnt smell in the restaurant as we left which was not super pleasant but I didn't notice it until we walked out. Parking was tight but there is street parking and I saw people parking in a lot across the street. Prices are market competitive for what you get. It was good. I would go again if people wanted to meet up for a gathering. read more

We visited this restaurant after a Google Search. Service was good and food was typical. The restaurant itself opened about six months ago and is large. The bar and patio area is quite impressive. Bathrooms clean. We were given complimentary homemade tortillas on our way out the door, perfect for our leftovers later. Definitely a place we will return to when we are traveling through the area. read more

Absolutely boring food. Minimal seasoning, same old beans/rice/anything covered in sauce and cheese Mexican restaurant fare. Spent over $50 for 1 person margarita flight, entree and tip. read more

Rancho Hacienda Real - Trio fajitas plate (steak,chicken,shrimp) includes rice and beans. And fresh corn or flour homemade tortillas 10/10 - Mexican Near Me - Albany, Oregon

If you like mediocre food and so so, No hablo Ingles, service, then this is the place for you. Personally, I'm going to stick with El Palenque Mexican Restaurant just up the street. The owners should try and sell the building to Texas Roadhouse before it goes down any further. Like many have noted, the food tastes like it's straight from the Sysco can. I can't comment on the handmade corn tortillas, the ones my enchiladas were wrapped in what tasted like store bought. I have it two stars only because it's new, still clean, and working out the bugs. Best of luck to the restaurant, give it a good run, but we won't be going back. read more

Food is amazing. Freshly made tortillas both flour and corn! Staff is always polite. read more

The restaurant's ambience feels cold and uninviting. The lighting is overly bright, giving the food an unappealing look when served. The large, blank walls in the main dining area add to the stark atmosphere, and the booth seats were surprisingly hard and uncomfortable -- unexpected for a new establishment. When our meals arrived, my chimichanga was covered in a canned cheese sauce, and my husband's enchilada lacked flavor. Overall, the food was disappointing. When it came time to pay, the electronic check was brought to the table, and the waitress stood over us while we completed the transaction -- an uncomfortable experience. A simple "I'll check you out when you're ready" would have been much more courteous. This restaurant has quite a bit to improve on if it hopes to succeed. My advice: the two Mexican restaurants down the street are far superior in both food and atmosphere. read more

We absolutely love this restaurant and quickly has become our go to place! Love the chips, salsa and beans with cabbage. Severs are nice and inviting and the homemade flour tortillas are KILLER!!! Highly recommend the fajitas. read more

I think these are the best tortillas I've ever had. I'm a connoisseur of tortillas and any Mexican restaurant serving store bought I won't return to. I had the pollo chipotle, very good. I also had a lime margarita on the rocks and a blended strawberry margarita with real strawberries, both very good. The restaurant itself was very nice, service was excellent. I didn't remember to take pictures. We had a group of 20 and there was no delay in service and all of our orders were correct. read more

The service was excellent from our server Pastor. The food was outstanding with big portions and authentic Mexican. I am definitely going back. My entire family had nothing but good things to say about our experience at this place. The restaurant is huge with many different areas that include outside seating and also a bar/lounge. Thank you Pastor for taking great care of us. read more

We have a lovely experience at this place tonight! The staff was super knowledgeable about dietary restrictions (I'm gluten free). Almost all sauces are gluten free!! We got two huge portions and will be having leftovers for days. The margarita flight was really good and refreshing. My husband wants to show you a picture of his "cheese pull". He said he liked the mole enchiladas but it's wasn't his favorite (he's a mole connoisseur). I loved the mojechita (not sure I'm spelling that right) and my husband ate all my leftovers! We sat in the lounge instead of the restaurant and it was more quiet (we heard a lot of happy birthdays in the main room) but also very relaxed. I would definitely come back to try out their happy hour and other drinks! read more

People who read my reviews know I always start out with this. This is my opinion at the time of dining in at dinner hours. Let's start with parking. Well it's in the back and go small if you're going to park close to the building cause it is very tight but there is parking a little bit away and well walking to and from helps with the hunger and the digestion on the walk back out the the car, not far at all. lol. First that place is probably one of the biggest places inside that I've seen in Albany and surrounding areas. Almost like a mall. It's very clean and well lit up and seating was fast and the booths were comfortable. It was around 6:30pm and the big open dinning area we sat in wasn't packed at all. But I'm thinking that this place can put a lot of people in different dining rooms and bar areas. I'm also thinking that being so open could get really loud if there's a birthday party or just a lot of people. It is nicely decorated inside and out. The food was absolutely delicious and maybe a 10 to 15 minute wait before the food was at our table from time of our order was taken. You couldn't for ask-more better service than that. They were kind and friendly servers. Always with a smile and came to the table a few times to check on us. The Plates are actually pretty big. Some of the biggest plates around with plenty of food on them. I'm a shrimp person and well I'd say very well cooked and flavored. I normally don't eat the beans at a restaurant cause I was raised making them different. But will say that their beans are good. Their rice was fluffy and tasted very good as well. Now the corn tortillas are to die for. Those are the most authentic corn tortillas in any restaurant I've been in and they're bigger than all restaurants around. Kudos to the person who makes them. Now I will say this. Now my wife's plate as she told me was definitely delicious and perfectly seasoned. Prices on a few of there dishes went up to a whopping 37+ a plate. Our plates went for around $18 to $22. I always say if the food is beyond good then ok but if that one time. Well I'll just leave that there. The menu is big with lots to choose from and the drink list has lots to choose from as well. Have to say that the margarita was perfectly made to taste. No skimp on the tequila and not overwhelming with the tequila. So with this being our first time dining as this restaurant. I'd say everything was good from time of entry to time of exit. I will say it's one of the more pricier restaurants I've been in but there is a variety to choose from. People in the area or even visiting need to try this place at least once. I will at this time will recommend this restaurant. You enjoy. We did. read more

Huge restaurant with loads of seating with an authentic atmosphere! The food was varying in authenticity but all tasted very good. They do have American dishes for those wondering; and the Mexican dishes are expansive in option and flavor! Something for everyone. Service was a tad slow, but its opening week and they were slammed. Definitely return, especially for the bar drinks!! read more

I have been twice now for both lunch and dinner. It was great both times. The wait staff is right there and very helpful and accommodating. Since we are retired, we can go to an early dinner. It starts to get very busy after 5:00. Go, it's great! read more

Without giving us a choice, we were seated in the bar for dinner and it was very noisy. We could not conduct a conversation without raising our voices or leaning into each other. The bar has nice big TVs but the subtitles were not on. The food was good, but the service was lacking. read more

Yeah finally open! Lunch menu had lots of options . Friendly staff and booth or open seatings. Adjacent to the bar is an enclosed veranda for group events. Spilt the taquito combination with chips & salsa and a Mexican Mule. Delish! Highly recommend. Went after lunch rush so had fast service. Thankyou! read more

You can always rely on great food and great service. When I order a burrito with shredded beef or chicken, the meat portions are huge and well seasoned! My grandboys love the fresh hot chips with salsa and refried beans as soon as they sit down, and they always offer to refill. The place is consistently good and the dining room always busy when we arrive for dinner. Quickly seated by friendly staff. We love this place! read more

I've eaten here five times now, and the food is delicious. Tonight our server was Jerania - and she was fabulous!

Overall great experience - I plan to eat here again. read more

The Building is beautiful inside and out! Great parking along the street or in the back lot. The host and all of waiters were very helpful. The menu has lots to choose from.

The chips and great spiced salsa is awesome. WE WILL BE BACK ! Muchos Gracias read more

Waited over 45 minutes out in wind, no place to sit. After seeing multiple people get seated who had only been there a few minutes. Went inside a young girl with Huge fake eyelashes started arguing with my husband that they called his cell. There was no call and screenshotted his call log. She continued to argue. I asked for manager as this was unacceptable. We have been customers is Salem Commercial Hacienda Real for about 20 years and had been anticipating Albany opening. Also here is a picture of our crushed chips served. read more

Rancho Hacienda Real - Mexican Near Me - Albany, Oregon

Food was delicious but they're so busy, both times I've gone, I've only seen my servers twice: once to take our orders and once to give us our bill. No check in on us in between or helping with refills. I've had to flag them down as they rush past. Hopefully they'll get their rhythm down better soon. read more

the food is amazing, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the small details to decor make it all worth it. The price is actually comparable to Rigoberto's, but this sit-down experience is amazing. will definitely return. read more

Will not return. Noisy atmosphere even tho few diners. Flavorless food. Had to ask multiple times for silverware even tho server made multiple trips back to our table. Will patronize the other good mexican dining choices in Albany.​ read more

First shot at this long awaited location. I will give a little grace because they just opened and are just getting their bearings straight. Food: there was some really good tastes on some and some others I feel they could severely improve. First, Guacamole.. I am most certain that it is what I have tasted before from a pre-made bagged product sold by sysco or some other food service. Not good. The Racho Hacienda special #2 was great. The skirt steak was seasoned well and was great. The Slow cooked beef was also equally well seasoned and delicious. And the Chili relleno was also not bad. My son had the Rancho Combo and it was a good enchillada and he had a pleasent mistake when they served him a chicken chimichanga. He ordered ground beef but that was brought out wrong but it was good. My Father in law ordered steak taco and also received chicken. So someone in the back is just not paying attention to the orders. Service: the service wasn't bad but for as many people walking around, pop refills were very slow and not offered until we requested. And the food didn't all come out together. We had several orders come out much later than others where some people were finished when others just received their food. Ambience: the new restaurant is great. It Looks well decorated and has that fresh feeling. However from where we were sitting it was a long walk to get to the restroom on the otherside of the restaurant. I watched an elderly lady have to stop and take a break twice as she was making her way to the bathroom. I didn't see any other options closer to the area we were in, maybe there is another option. We are anxious to see this place hopefully pull it all together and do well. But the best I can give now is a 3 star. I will gladly edit this review accordingly if there is a vast improvement. read more

I really did not see any great tasting food. Servers are kinda blah. Sitting in the booth the seats weren't tacked down and almost went through the seat. Lol ...we won't be going back. read more
