Enjoyed a spontaneous visit here this past Sunday with my husband. We sat on the patio and had courteous service and yummy food. I almost skipped over the Mexican stir fry thinking "what is that?!" Then I quickly remembered my love for eclectic dishes and courses not of the norm and was happy to try it! It did not disappoint. I do think there could have been more rice served with it and some sort of condiment (salsa) but the salsa that came with the chips did perfectly. The food also came out pretty promptly. No complaint with this restaurant, glad to have found it. read more

Breakfast. Normally Rancho isn't what comes to mind. However, it was absolutely delicious! I had a relleno breakfast and he had juevos rancheros. Service was fast and very friendly. They both come with tortillas, if you want them. read more

The food is completely adequate, bordering on mundane in my opinion. The food costs more than it's worth . Add on the insult of adding 20% to the price of the overpriced mundane food . To me, the ambience feels like a Denny's serving Mexican food. The service is quite adequate with a tablespoon of patronizing. You know the waiter or waitress just wants to flip the table and get their 20% . If you truly want good sit down Mexican food, there's a lot better places than this . read more

waiter was pleasant and very nice. I asked if they have mild salsa-he brought a small bowl of what was nothing more than ketchup very disappointing. Chips and hot salsa my husband was not impressed. I tried the chips they were not homemade. The "salad" on our plate with our meals was the best part of the meal. Presentation of my meal was impressive the mini chimichangas were not very bland taste. We are continuing our quest for tasty Mexican food in Tucson will try Guadalajara Grill. Fingers crossed. Very expensive too. Do NOT recommend! read more

Good food. Excellent staff, and fair pricing Fast service for both dining in and takeout. Highly recommended: Grande Burrito has a wonderful flavor. Surprisingly, we prefer the ground beef version to the shredded beef. I didn't even have time to finish a delicious house margarita before our takeout burrito and salad were ready to go.

Outstanding food, had deluxe burritos, tamale and enchiladas, steak fajitas. All of it was hot and tasty, not to mention the fried ice cream. Service was efficient and friendly. read more

Food is usually very good to excellent but at times is inconsistent and doesn't meet expectations.

We were very disappointed with our food and neither of us touched more than half of our plates. My chips were soggy and cold and the bacon was also cold. My hubs got chorizo and eggs and the eggs were over cooked. Our waiter was fine and checked in often. It wasn't busy for a Sunday morning so it eas pretty quiet. Very bummed and probably won't be returning. Also chips and salsa are not free with breakfast. Weird. read more

Well, it starts with a big friendly smile and greeting from our server.Linda. Happy Hour margaritas and a generous serving of delicious shrimp fajitas for two adds to the experience. Pro Tip: ask for the habanero salsa, so much flavor. Finish with Fiesta coffee and happiness abounds. read more

Used to be a good place to eat. have been coming for years, not sure what happened - but the last 3-4 times the food quality has been horrible - not sure if it's new ownership or management??? Tried one last time today. Probably won't come back read more

Rancho Rústico has the best Mexican Food in the city, their service is amazing. From the moment you walk in everyone welcomes you, from the hostess to the bartender and definitely the servers, they all make you feel comfortable and happy!!!! read more

Had a terrible experience this morning for breakfast. One of my family members found a brillo pad/wire in his omelette! They did offer to remake, but upon receiving the second one, there was something else questionable in the next omelette. The carne was like rubber. They didn't offer to take any money off the bill. We won't be eating here again, even though we live right down the road. read more

We order from Rancho Rustico via Grub Hub at least once a week. Their food is so amazing I could eat it every day. We recently had an issue with our order because of Grub Hub and it was past the time frame for Grub Hub to cover it. Ceasar the manager of Rancho Rustico was the one who contacted Grub Hub and said that I could call them and fight it and it would take a lot of time and may not turn out in my favor. Ceasar instead of making me contact Grub Hub made it right and gave us a gift card for more than our original order. I have to say because of this kind gesture we will forever be loyal customers. This is easy to do because as stated before their food is so fantastic and Ceasar is a professional and great manager! read more

Food and service is always exceptional! When we have visitors in town, that's where we take them and everyone loves the food

Nice variety of Mexican food. We ordered takeout and order was filled quickly and no mishaps. Flavorful

Took my parents here while they were in town. Everyone likes their food. Service was quick and good. Decent prices too. I had the Arroz con Pollo and it was delicious. My parents split a Pollo Fundido and like it also. read more

Had a 5:00 Wednesday dinner. Haven't been here in a couple months. The refried beans used to be the best? I had tacos Al Carbon, my wife had a combo plate with chicken enchilada and taco. Wasn't seasoned very well on anything. Beans and rice bland, but at least the price went up? (Hey Brandon). And now it's a 3.5% charge if you use a debit card??? Really??? I used to love this place, but, won't be going back again. Staff was polite, service great, but food potions gone way down and prices WAY up. Only a couple people were there, ambiance nice as always. Rice and beans are cheap but the portions are cut in half?? read more

Rancho Rustico Restaurant - First taco loaded, next two were 1/4 of the portion? Wow.... - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Great food, atmosphere and staff. Never had a complaint. They took care of me on my birthday!

We came back for repeat visit and were met by Desanae J. at the front door. She was WONDERFUL and cared about my health issues and making sure we were seated where we felt comfortable. I love her for that. Then she sent Christian G. and Carlos B. to take care of us with great service and I get lightest, tastiest food for a GREAT price. Can't beat it, can't wait to come back. Love you guys! read more

While in Tucson as an overnighter before starting our trek home to Cali, I Yelped Mexican food and this came up and had pretty good reviews. Being Mexican myself I do enjoy good Mexican food. Before my review, I need to say I love spice and heat; however, not where the flavor is lost. The restaurant is easy to find, in the Rita Village and had ample parking. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and large which ca accommodate large parties. The staff was kind, attentive and busy since we arrived around 4:30 pm, towards the end of Happy Hour which is 3-5pm. We ordered the House Margaritas at HR prices which were $6.45. Without HR, I believe they were $8.95 which I would definitely not pay that price. They were okay to good, but not great! I love my margaritas to have good flavor and not boozy; however, these had to much flavor and definitely lacking in Tequila maybe because they were HR prices and house margaritas, but I always order house margaritas in other Mexican restaurants and have a nice blend of both. I must say, I did love the beautiful margarita glasses they served our drinks in. Oh last note on the drinks, we had our margaritas on the rocks and you do get a lot of ice so it seems less drink. Moving onto the chips, LOVED them. Warm, a bit salty and on the thinner side opposed to cold and super thick. The salsa was okay, more on the ketchup, sweeter side. Not the flavor me as a Mexican likes. Lol We ordered a side of Guacamole on the HR appetizer and for $7 it was a nice portion. It was good, and on the chunkier side. My husband commented "this tastes like the guacamole you buy at Trader Joe's called Wholly Guacamole". Lol. It definitely was chunkier than that but for taste perhaps close to it. We enjoyed their dinner salad for $5 and it was a decent size to share. Not just plain iceberg but mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes (not very ripe), lots of cheese. I enjoyed it. We shared as always, a fajita burrito with chicken. Came with a side of rice and beans which were very good. The flour tortilla tasted homemade and large. The chicken tender, but the sauce was on the sweet side. Remember I like a bit of spice and heat so the sweet taste wasn't really doing it for me. However we finished it because it was good, but NOT great. I've definitely had better. All in all, if in the area again, I might try another Mexican restaurant before returning to this one. I wished I could give them 4*s because their staff was friendly but the main entree and margaritas needed a more bit spice, less sweetness to the sauce, and more Tequila in the drinks. Lol read more

Nice restaurant and friendly service. Great menu options. Once seated, they bring chips, salsa and water out right away and someone is always coming around to refill. Never had a bad meal here. We really like the shrimp fajitas and my son loves the monster size burritos. My husband recently tried the street tacos and they might now be his favorite. Drinks are also very good. I think it's the best mexican food in the area. read more

The food at Rancho Rustico is pretty mid-quality, probably between 3 stars. I give this place a 2- star rating because of the fairly poor service. Everything takes many minutes longer than it should. The staff is not attentive to the needs of the tables and you may end up sitting without silverware for 10 minutes and staff ignoring you as they walk by. That was how my first experience went at the current location and the few follow-on visits have been of similar quality. Their service was far superior when they were in the location at Rita and Houghton. I know many people that swear by Rancho Rustico but I have yet to have a good service experience or a high enough quality of food experience that made me want to tell others to try it. read more

We got the "steak fajitas for two." Talk about false advertising. It was the same amount of steak you'd receive for a single serving, just with more onions and peppers. As a side note, they had some kind of plumbing issue, and a fecal aroma hung over the restaurant. Not their fault probably, but it contributed to the drab, disappointing experience. read more

I really want to like this place as it has been recommended. Happy hour margarita is good. Second one I Ordered the Cadillac for double the price. Same tap margarita, with 1.5 oz gran marnier on top. Not worth it. Stick to the happy hour margarita. Ordered seafood enchiladas per recommendation of bartender. Not good. Cheap shrimp. Treated with sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium bisulfite. Tastes like iodine. You can taste If you know seafood, pass. I will go back. But they shouldn't buy the cheap shrimp. read more

Off the start, a very beautifully designed and decorated restaurant! The menu was FULL of items, choices and even authentic Mexican breakfasts. Having had the Machaca; it was a win!! Not the best flavored/not bad either, just good but not ground breaking delicious. Excellent service, constantly cared for on a cold Feb 2021 Saturday morning. Two Mexican breakfasts with two coffees came out to a $30.00 tab! Yikes. IMO, that's a bit high but trying to consider all the points above, I still think they could be just a tad more affordable for the taste... Again, breakfast was great, but my coffee was hotter than my meal. I would certainly return and recommend this place due to the stellar hospitality! read more

We arrived late, around 8, unfortunately at the same time as a party of 11! I'm not sure staff were too thrilled, but they took care of us efficiently. My sangria was a bit sweet. My shrimp and mushrooms with garlic were really good, my son said his taquitos were the best he's had. Husband said arroz con pollo was good. Ambience was sort of a typical American-style Mexican restaurant. read more

I did not dine in at this restaurant, but I ordered from here and the food is pretty good. Portion was decent.

We wanted to try this restaurant for a while and finally had the opportunity this week. Service was OK and the ambience was nice. However the food was really bad. The chips tasted like rancid grease and were inedible. My husband ordered the street tacos. The tortillas were cold and soggy, and there was very little beef on each taco. And they were flavorless....a rip off for $18. I ordered the arroz con pollo, which was decent but forgettable. We were very disappointed and will never return. I am baffled by all of the five star reviews claiming how delicious the food is. Are all the reviewers from out of town? With so many Mexican restaurants in Tucson, it doesn't make sense that this place is so highly rated. read more

I'm not sure what the Arroz con Pollo was trying from, but it's quite possibly the worst meal I've ever eaten. The sauce tasted like sweet barbecue sauce rather than anything Latin based. The service wasn't great either, but at least the beer was cold and reasonably priced. I'd recommend trying somewhere else. read more

I've been back many times since my initial review. I have to say the service and how dog friendly this restaurant is really makes it stand out. I really enjoy coming here! read more

Went to Rancho Rustico twice and ordered Molcajete for 2. The food was good the server was good and the place was clean and we did not have to wait very long to get our food.
