Honestly I was pretty excited to come here because I was looking forward to some tasty fajitas and I think it was a miss. First we ordered a corona and margarita, the margarita was extremely sweet and I couldn't finish it. Second we got the queso fundido as an app and it fell flat, literally had absolutely no flavor. Then we got the chicken fajitas for two and for a Mexican place it had ZERO seasonings. Everything was so incredibly bland that we barely at it and took it home to church it up. For a tap of 65$ I don't think it was worth it. Giving the 2 stars for service. He was incredibly nice and quick. read more

I left my sunglasses on our table (my bad) and whoever cleaned our table stole them. The restaurant doesn't give a rats as$ about it. Does not care they employ thieves. They are so expensive I'm tempted to file a police report. We called less than 15 minutes from leaving. No patron could have seen them based upon where I was sitting. We were a party of eight, have been there before but we will never go back there again based upon principle. read more

If you're looking for a place that serves great traditional Mexican food and also has some unique dishes, this is the place to try! We came and were expecting to order some classic Mexican food, however we saw the page of Aztec inspired dishes and I'm so glad we stepped out of our comfort zone! The Molcajete trio for two was so unique and tasty! It was also a lot of food, we were both full and had leftovers for the next day! The drinks are also pretty tasty, they are also quite large making the price more reasonable. We are excited to go back and try another of the Molcajete dishes and have already recommended the restaurant to several of our foodie friends! read more

Rancho Rustico Restaurant - Side of rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

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

First time visiting ... Dinner was great. I had chicken fajita which was seasoned perfectly. The portions are large and very reasonably priced . I highly recommend!!! 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

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

Friendly and efficient service team. Good selection of adult beverages. Food selection is great. Portions are huge. Can be busy at times but I've never had a super long wait. I really like this place, but type of its kind on the east side. 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 wanted to love this place so much but my chili relleno was obviously frozen and soggy like a sponge. No flavor. We have been a few times and the food just is bland. read more

Celebrated a birthday here for dinner with a party of 7. My husband and I ordered their moljachete for two that included shrimp, steak, and chicken. It arrived hot and bubbling to our table. Served with small tortillas and a side a beans & rice. All of it was yummy! Chips & salsa were also served before our dinner. Because I like hot salsa, I asked if the has anything hotter & they did. It was some sort of habanero salsa & it hit the spot! Everyone enjoyed their food & the service was friendly and sufficient. The restaurant is large enough for groups & has a bar area. I would return. read more

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

Visiting Tucson, we've been here 3 times in 3 days which is an indication of how much we enjoyed it. Great food and excellent service! Chloe was our server tonight and she was both efficient and very personable. I highly recommend this place. read more

I can honestly say I didn't know you could make burro's fancy. These were a nice, delicious surprise. We got the bacon and egg Burro and chorizo Burro. It ended up being $20 for them so a little pricier, but definitely worth it. Very filling and a bit spicy for those that love a good kick. I tried both and I like the chorizo one a little more. The restaurant itself is very nice even the bathroom and the service I received over the phone when I placed the order was extremely helpful. The order taker was patient and walked me thru the menu. Very great place. read more

Really good food and margaritas at reasonable prices. Service was very attentive. I would definitely recommend.

The food and service both amazing!!! Place is very nice and very clean. We really enjoyed this plan we'll definitely be back soon. read more

The food is amazing the services amazing the beer is better they might have a secret recipe on their draft beers kind of like McDonald's has with their Coke it just tastes better over there it's ice cold I recommend they're all pastor or tacos you got to ask for the secret habanero salsa it's super hot and delicious and recently I found out they have garlic shrimp mojo de Ajo camaron and it was awesome with the mushrooms the butter and the habanero salsa. Another place we need to support make sure they don't change anything read more

This was my first time eating here and it was such a great first experience. The atmosphere was very welcoming and there was music playin and peopoe enjoying ine another's company. Our waitor was so very sweet to our kids and checked on us periodically. The chips and salsas were brought to our table promptly! Fresh and delicious. One spicy one mild. I was not a fan of the mild and the spicy one wasn't really spicy to me however if you are not ise to spicy you will probably think it is. It had great flavor for sure & can taste the fresh ingredients. I ordered the chimichangas because I love the crunchiness and it was delicious. I love how the refried beans were poured into a crunchy shell! the queso fundido was super yummy and the cheese was very stretchy. The kids enjoyed pulling it apart. Great appetizer choice for sure. I would definitely come back to eat here. The service was quick and the food was flavorful! My kiddos enjoyed their food and my oldest ate the entire plate of food! That is always a plus. Definitely great place for families and big parties. I think it was priced fairly as well! I will definitely try the tacos when I go back. read more

I'm a regular at this restaurant. They consistently deliver authentic Mexican cuisine with enthusiastic service. I have never had bad service here. All their staff is kind. There is sometimes a wait to be seated because it is so popular but the food always gets to my table quickly. Atmosphere is clean and modern with southwestern vibes. Outdoor patio is shaded and has mountain views. If you're lucky you can snag the outdoor fire pit for the evening. Prices are a little high but their fajitas for two is a good value. It feeds two plus leftovers for the next day. Recommend their fajitas, arroz con camerones, or street tacos. If you're feeling adventurous try their molcajete. Great margaritas and drinks served from the bar. read more

Fantastic Mexican food! I've lived near this restaurant for years and never gave it a try. I didn't know what I was missing. They have a huge veggie burrito served with rice and beans and all the employees are so friendly and helpful. They have a cute outdoor seating are as well. Both times I visited the restaurant I didn't have to wait at all to be seated. They have a lot of choices on their menu and can't wait to go back to try more. read more

Great place to eat. Good service and nice folks as well. Been here multiple times and never had a bad experience.

Excellent service and excellent food. Salsa is spicy. Beans are great. Highly recommended. read more

Rancho Rustico Restaurant - Tacos AL Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

It was my first time here and I thought the food was pretty good. I got the chicken and steak fajitas and they were very tasty. My wife got the Flautas and she said they were great. The service seemed a little slow and the prices were just a bit high so I gave it a four instead of five. But I come back, yes. Give them a try. read more

We have enjoyed every visit and meal at Rancho Rustico. Will definitely going back for more.

Service was ok, the chile mole tasted like the chicken was boiled in water for too long

We tried this place a couple of years ago when we were new in town. The first visit, I had the beef flautas, and they were good. The fajitas my man ate were lacking flavor! The second visit, the flautas were lacking flavor now. When they brought our food, there was a hair right on top of my man's food, so he sent it back. They returned it on a dirty plate. Although the plate had leftover food on the bottom of the plate, he decided he didn't want to eat. We have not returned since 2022. read more

The food here is always outstanding. The Molcajete Seafood is my favorite dish so far this year. The service is always top notch, fast and accurate. The decor and ambiance are solid. I recommend Rancho Rustico I'm back. :) read more

We had asked friends that live here to pick a great Mexican Restaurant for us to meet up for lunch when we were in town and we LOVED Rancho Rustico! I forgot to take a picture of our Deluxe Burrito with the very tender Colorado Beef, but it was EXCELLENT!! Even the guacamole that came on the plate was so fresh & yummy and way better than the typical guacamole you get when it's included in the meal! Later I was ready to go back for dinner for the same order, since we had to leave in the morning!! But we'll definitely be back whenever we are in Tucson. This meal is what you dream of for fantastic Mexican food!! read more

Attentive service, excellent margaritas and delicious authentic Mexican food. Several items can be made vegan, the drinks can be alcohol free, and everything is really good. The rice, the beans, the salsa, the warm chips, oh yum! Then delicious burritos and enchiladas verdes!! We'll be back...many times!!! read more

Amazing carne asada and al pastor tacos with tortillas that taste homemade. Highly recommend!

Food is very good. Food is very good and atmosphere is excellent. Service is very good and you get your food very promptly. The margaritas are great just a nice place for a casual Mexican dinner. read more

I this place! Customer service is ALWAYS great and consistent. Chips and salsa are delicious. (Went to "the best Mexican" in Tucson and their chips and salsa weren't as good as Rancho Rustico.) Every dish I've tried has been delish! Tortilla soup is one of my faves. Some people who are snobs when it comes to "real" Mexican food say this place isn't good, but I can't understand because I've been to this restaurant almost ten times in the past 3 months and it's always bangin read more

Went here around 8:30pm on a Tuesday night with a friend visiting me. Their happy hour is around 3pm-5pm (I think) and then 8pm-close. We got the Diablo wings appetizer and two house margaritas since they were on the happy hour menu. We also ordered a carnitas street taco plate to share since we weren't super hungry. Complimentary Salsa and Chips: Fried chips served with a pretty spicy, tasty salsa. Definitely yummy. House Margaritas: Pretty good! I'd say one of the more excellent margaritas that I've had at any Mexican restaurant. Diablo Wings: Came with about 8 big wings in a sweet and spicy sauce with a side of ranch. The wings were perfectly cooked in the sauce, but plating was a bit messy with random lettuce. However, taste-wise, I's I'd say that was the best dish of the night. Carnitas Street Tacos: It came with about 5 tacos. The tacos were okay. Meat was a bit dry with little seasoning. I probably wouldn't get it again. The atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty casual, and the bathrooms are clean. Overall, decent food for happy hour so I'd probably come back for happy hour specials and try other things on their happy hour menu. I wouldn't give it more than a 3.5 though. read more

Visited there this evening for early dinner before 5 pm. Waitress did not share happy hour offerings, restaurant was hot and when we questioned the response was oh it is broken over here. It was 105 outside. Flies were ridiculous oh and we were inside. Had to ask multiple times for drink refills and there was plenty of help just standing around. Dinner was nothing special at all. Soapapillas were undercooked and when we questioned the response was oh sorry. I had to wait 10 minutes for a beer to. On my way! After the rest of the table had their beverages. Don't waste your $$$ read more

WTF business in the dark ages charging 3.5% credit card fee acting like customers pay cash in today's times with their $15 drink prices. Done with this place. You should too. Modern day extortion. read more

Rancho Rústico is close to our house in Vail, so we frequently go eat there. The waitstaff is friendly and always attentive. I've tried quite a few of their meals, but I really like the molcajete. They have several. We've tried the seafood and steak. I personally like the steak but my wife likes the seafood. It comes with a HOT molcajete filled with meat, cheese, avocado, and veggies. Amazing! read more
