the cheese crispy, was delicious and the soup was amazing! the service was very good they keep my water full.

Enchiladas are fantastic, the green tamale was a little dry but still very tasty Very fast service. Was surprised. Absolutely adore the ambiance. Relaxed, or causal though nobody would blink or care if you wore a dress so it's diverse. Waitress was nice. Tortilla soup was bomb. Just spicy enough for my nose to run but not burning my mouth. Also, affordable. read more

I've been here five times because I kept thinking, "Maybe this time will be different." Unfortunately, every visit has been about the same. I've been served cold food twice--including a chimichanga, which really shouldn't happen. Once I can overlook, but twice feels like a pattern. The waitstaff always seems to be hustling but overwhelmed, and the restaurant is so loud and crowded that it's hard to enjoy a meal. It's honestly disappointing because I'd love to have a good sit-down spot in town. I really wanted to like this place, but after five tries, I think I'm done. read more

Great food. Prices not the best. Little high. But great staff and good food Usually get sat down right away and given chips and salsa read more

Rancho Rustico was such a nice surprise! The staff was super friendly and the mango margaritas were delicious. We sat in the bar area with TVs on and basketball playing, which made for a really fun atmosphere. Our combo plates were great. I loved that the refried beans were served in a mini tostada, and the verde enchiladas were really flavorful. Portions were just right. Really good Mexican food and a fun evening. A great spot for happy hour! read more

amazing well owned family restaurant. you can see all the work that they put in to keep the place clean, make good and honest food and actually care about their customer satisfaction rate. 10/10 recommend just a little on the pricier side though but definitely worth it!!! read more

Stopped for a late lunch. Great special...2 potato tacos for $10.50 and it came with rice and beans. It was good, but it does need a sauce on it. The hubby got the super nachos at $9.60 a plate. They have Happy Hour every day so I also ordered a house margarita at $6.95. The place is big inside, plenty of seating. Hostess is right at the door ready to seat you and our waiter was quick and efficient. read more

I didn't realize I haven't rated this GREAT Far Southeast Mexican restaurant! I have been coming here for several years, it is also a go to place for my family to meet up. They are located at the NW corner of Old Vail Road/Mary Anne Cleveland and Houghton. Tight parking when busy, but they have handicap entrances and parking. I use this location not only for family gatherings, but also for catering. They are very friendly and prepare everything perfecto! They have a full bar with lots of drink specials, including early morning Mimosas and Bloody Mary. I love coming here for the Menudo and my wife loves the Pollo con Creme, The Chimis, Burros, and tacos are also amazing. They have lunch specials to order from as well. Most come with refried beans and rice, but you can ask for ranch beans. My family also LOVES their Mango Chicken Salad which is a great light fare, and can be a special order for catering. There is bar seating, open table, booths and outdoor seating as well, with TV's located in select areas. Great for groups. Restrooms are usually clean. Don't sit outside on summer days, but they try to cool with fans. Fills up for dinner so call for a reservation. They also have happy hours. read more

Fast service, friendly staff, and yummy food! We had a late dinner here after we made it into town and it was still pretty busy on Friday night. We were seated right away and chips and salsa were dropped off as we were putting in our drink orders. I ordered the chicken flautas and my mom and sister shared the molcajete which came with shrimp, meat, and chicken. Everything was delicious and cooked well. It all had flavor and portions were great. The salsa was delicious and the sauce the molcajete had was so yummy. Will be back when in the area! read more

We happened to be in the area and hungry so we stopped in for lunch. We live on the extreme opposite side of town (nearly an hour away) but when we left we said it was worth the drive to go back again because it was that good! We were brought chips and salsa and when we asked if they had a spicy salsa, they brought us a habanero salsa that was really delicious! I ordered the shrimp tacos and my husband had the shrimp fajitas. The portions were huge and the shrimp was plentiful in both dishes. The shrimp was perfectly cooked too which is a pet peeve of ours that often times shrimp is way overcooked! We both really thought the dishes we ordered were absolutely scrumptious. We had amazing service from our server David! He answered our questions on the menu and was prompt with the refills of our drinks. It is a nice, welcoming restaurant that is clean. read more

The food was ok. The service we had was terrible. The waiter didn't wait on us. So another waitress took our order. The waiter brought drinks and was in a hurry. Felt like he thought we were bothering him. Our whole group agreed that we wouldn't return do the the service. read more

Started with the service - we were sat promptly and drinks and chips and salsa served super fast. Gali was wonderful and very polite and paid attention to our request. I had the taco combo with beans and rice as did my wife. Four different tacos - all were very good and filling - I couldn't do 3 if I tried. Thanks for a great experience Gali. read more

We were visiting Saguaro National Park and camping in the Tucson area when we found this restaurant on-line. My wife and I shared a Molcajete Trio for two. This dish comes with beef, chicken and shrimp. It was delicious! Our server Alan was very attentive. The host, and other staff also made us feel very welcomed. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her house "Original" margarita. We plan to return before we leave Tucson. Dine here and you won't be disappointed. read more

We used to go here very often, but it seems they've switched their ingredients. Nothing tastes as good as it did before, and has a bulk food supply flavor as opposed to fresh and authentic. Service was good though, and the ambience is calm. read more

Went here the other day and wanted to try something new. I ordered the Molcajete Marisos for one, a seafood dish. It is served in a VERY HOT volcanic dish. The liquid in the bowl bubbled for a long time. It was very tasty and filling. The seafood was cooked perfectly. It had a side of refried beans and rice. Our server was quick and attentive. read more

Priscilla was so welcoming and assisted with helping us choose from their large menu. 10/10 recommendation for the food and service.

I'm not usually a big "salad" person, but I can't resist Mexican food with mango. I ordered the Mango Chicken Salad and absolutely LOVED it! Flavorful and filling. My husband went with the chicken fajitas, and they came out SMOKING hot. I've never seen such an impressive sizzle! The service was friendly and proactive. I especially appreciated the little pitcher of salsa for easy refills--such a smart idea! Overall, a great spot! Clean, friendly, fast service, and delicious food. Highly recommend! read more

This place is always my stop when I go to Tucson all ways good food and service. If you haven't stopped here it's worth the stop

Everything about this place deserves five stars across the board. The food is amazing, the staff are very welcoming/friendly, and the ambiance is perfect. It has a rustic/barn house look to it with plenty of seating ranging from table tops, bar stools, booths, and regular chair. They also have plenty of outside seating. They get you in, take your order, and the food is out in no time. They give you a lot of food for a reasonable price and offer happy hour deals on a daily. It's too bad we live in Phoenix because we would be here all the time. Would definitely make a trip from Phoenix to Tucson just for the food. read more

Only reason I come here is because I get invited. But if you have a choice don't come. I've always been skimmed on my food. For the price to food ratio is horrible. They can't even fill my burrito. read more

From outside, it's a cute place with lots of parking spaces. Big space with a hip decor. The reason why I gave low rating was because the restaurant felt dirty. Floor was very messy (maybe they had a busy lunch and didn't have time to clean? - I walked in around 2-3ish) also the dessert menu was so sticky too. It just didn't feel clean overall. Food on the other hand was decent. I had mini chimis and they were surprisingly good. I've never had chimis before so I don't have anything to compare to though. Redried beans were okay. Definitely have had better before! As for guac, the flavor was good but I personally like my guac with more chunks of avocado. That's probably a personal preference. read more

Took my husband for his bday and it was a new place he wanted to try so we went and our food came out and looked so good and my husband was saying how good it tasted and when I was looking at his food at the side of my eye I seen something move and in his rice which he had NOT touched yet thank god were 2 bugs. We called a waiter over and he took his plate and when he came back out he said it was a bug from the a/c! And then the waitress came out and said it was fruit flies!!! After that we lost our appetite and told them we did not want another plate!! so my thing was if it were fruit flyes there has to be more in the kitchen and if it was from the a/c there has to be more also!! We were so disappointed cause the food did look good and for the first bite we took it tasted good but the bug was a deal breaker. Hopefully they get these bugs under control and cleared up read more

Myra was our server and made our 1st. Time here a great experience !we will definitely be coming back

Pretty good food! My family and I came here as a celebration dinner and the service was great! The servers and everyone was so sweet to my children. The food we ordered came out in a timely manner and it tasted delicious. The meat had good flavor and so did the beans. if we are ever in this part of town will definitely come back! read more

Ground beef is very low grade. So much so it was runny. Queso was awful and runny. Not a good experience

Yuck! Let's start with ... I had to ask 3 times for sour cream with my chips and when it came - the dish it came in was DIRTY! I could literally scrape what it was off with my nail Needless to say, I didn't eat it. I usually complain but we drove two hours to have lunch with one of our kids who drove in from Utah - I didn't want to be a pain. I went to the bathroom. It looked like it hasn't been cleaned in a week. Mirror dirty, garbage all over the floor and dead bugs. Neither one of the hand dryers worked. Food came - the fajitas tasted like they had teriyaki on them. Couldn't eat it. Too sweet and not hot. Hubby loved the rice and beans and enjoyed his enchiladas. They are good at refilling drinks. Someone else mentioned that in a review. With the bathroom and dish so dirty, I was worried about the condition of the kitchen. Just couldn't stop thinking about that. Best experience, was the young guy that was at the door/check in opened the door for us and told us to have a great day. Very sweet. Chips and salsa were good. The salsa had a nice kick. This is a "not recommended for me" read more

Food looks good but lacks flavor. My husband and I were excited to finally try this place as we don't have too many restaurants out this way. Our server was super friendly, food came very quick so no issues with service. But outside of the salsa nothing had much flavor. I had the enchiladas and my husband had the rancho rustico special. Maybe other items are better? We said we may come back just for drinks and chips one day but the food was pretty blah... Ambiance was cool. However The bathrooms need some deep cleaning. There was a lot of grime in the sinks and crevices throughout the room. Didn't really feel clean for such a semi new place. Hopefully people have better luck with the food than we did. Gave it three stars instead of one because of the friendly staff and quick service. read more

Great food and service. One of the better Mexican restaurants in Tucson. We love the tacos el pastor, molca jete and chicken molé.

We had such a great time at RR. We were passing through Tucson, and Yelp led us here. The restaurant is a newer stand-alone building in a retail zone. We were greeted immediately, and the service was impeccable all evening. We were served by Antonio at the bar. He made us some great drinks. My wife loved her street tacos, and I had some fantastic beef fajitas. The food came out fast and hot. All the other patrons were just as happy as us. Rancho Rustico is an easy 5 stars. read more

We stopped in here for lunch on 4/9/26. We were only the 4th table so low business this particular day. The music was exceptionally loud...like you find in a bar at happy hour with more guests...not at noon lunch restaurant. I nicely asked hostess if she would please turn it down. She did but so minimally, it did not help. Luckily I keep earplugs handy. I put them in. About 5-10 minutes later, someone else turned it down. Food was fine but attitude I felt from asking about making music a level that we could chat over made the experience a bit uncomfortable. Please businesses, stop blasting music! No one will complain and ask for loud music while dining with friends I promise! read more
