Food is 9/10 only because you can't beat mom's cooking lol, but really! Great food all around! Service is fast, consistent, and the energy is always friendly. When my grandfather was around I'd always stop by here a couple of days out of the week because he loved their Taquitos and oh guac is always fresh! Howeverrrr, I will say this, they need to stop putting beans! on their Carne Asada fries. It makes them waaaaay too soggy, especially when you got crispy crinkle cut fries! you're taking away from the texture of the french fry! the crisp of the crinkle, It's supposed to be cCrispy French fries with meat and toppings Please Rancho taco shop take my advice. Other than that amazing place to stop and get food :) read more

If you're on this side of Norco, this is the go to Mexican spot! The food tastes amazing, the service is great, and the shop is always so clean. We've never had a bad meal. They also throw in chips and salsa for us, and we eat them all! Plus, they always got Mexican cokes! read more

Love this place. Especially taco Tuesday. Only reason not giving 5 stars is because the lady with glasses was charging me different than the young man that's always here. I told her the menu says 1$ and she didn't care. read more

I have followed this restaurant to three locations! Because I love their Mexican food. They're enchiladas so simple and delicious. Their tacos are great. Plus they always have soup which I love service is always outstanding. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I've never had a bad meal there ever! I would definitely recommend this place. It's small, but mighty! read more

Living in SoCal my whole life I have had a lot of Mexican food. It has been a while since I have had any that I had to finish the whole plate and stop short of licking the bowl. We ordered a lot. -California burrito was loaded with meat and guacamole, tasted amazing. -Taquitos were nice and crispy but not over done. Smothered in guacamole with rice and beans. -3 chicken and 3 carnitas tacos. All had great flavor and were tender. Well loaded. -2 green wet carnitas burritos. I couldn't stop eating it. Should have paced myself! I haven't had one this good in forever. Highly recommended! -albondigas soup. This was top tier. Large chunks of carrots, potatos, and meatballs. So good! Highly recommend! -Bean and cheese burrito. Can't go wrong with it. -chips and salsa (their red salsa is now my favorite) The staff was very nice when we came in to pick up our phone order. We even had to add a last minute bean and cheese that they cranked out fast! The inside has a more fast food restaurant feel than a sit down restaurant feel but there are tables. Over all I highly recommend giving Rancho Taco Shop a try to see for yourself! I know I will be going back. read more

The tacos are authentic and packed with flavor, and the menu offers a great selection for every craving. Don't miss their Taco Tuesday specials; such a great deal! The agua frescas are absolutely amazing, refreshing and perfectly balanced. The street tacos were delicious, though the carne asada was a little on the fattier side. Overall, it's a cozy spot with a welcoming vibe and fantastic food. Highly recommend supporting this local favorite! Service was relatively fast and food was hot. read more

Make sure you check your takeout order before you leave. I placed an order for my family, and even though they repeated it back to me, it still came out wrong. Aside from the mix-up, the food was good. read more

Best shredded beef ever , been to so many joints that specialize in crunchy shredded beef tacos but this by far is the best ..been coming here for 15 years +++ Keep up the great work read more

YUCK!! The worst enchiladas plate I think I ever had in my life!!! The cook clearly doesn't take any pride in his work because it was literally just salsa with no cheese and undercooked shrimp!!!! Waste of money read more

Very clean and nice little family run restaurant with an extensive menu, broader in depth with the classics than one would expect. I opt to try the 3 Mini Tacos featured in the photo and of those? I prefer the asada. It's finely chopped, almost like ground beef, but flavorful (5/5). The chicken was solid too, tender shredded chicken with fresh lettuce atop it, the fresh green salsa worked well atop it (5/5). The one that didn't work for me quite as well was the fish as it was mostly fry batter and it was hard to taste the fish. These are mini tacos so maybe ordering something larger in size - yes, they have "Big Tacos" for double the price - might allow for more of the actual fish to be served. In any event, I hit it with the fresh lemon and it's fine (3/5). Rancho Taco Shop is a nice place with freshly served Mexican staples at very fair prices. Wish I lived closer to it! read more

Live across the street from here, havent been here in a few years and let me say it will be a few more if ever. Ordered a Carne Asada burritto they might as well call it a bean burritto witha spoonfull of terrible carne asada. read more

Ordered a Bacon Breakfast burrito for pick up over the phone. They gave me a regular breakfast burrito with everything that included Ham, sausage etc. when I got home I called them and they refused to take ownership of the mistake and denied me saying Bacon breakfast burrito. I called asking for a refund and they said the only way to do that is to return the burrito. I'm already inconvenienced with the wrong order and now they want to inconvenience me further by driving back just to drop off the incorrect burrito. Then they hung up on me . I get places make mistakes but the way these people handled it was very disappointing. Terrible service. Would not recommend. read more

Rancho Taco Shop - Breakfast burrito - Mexican Near Me - Norco, California

I ordered 3 carne asada tacos, 2 pollo tacos and 2 al pastor tacos. The carne asada and al pastor tacos were amazing. I would recommend both to anyone that tries tacos here. The pollo tacos weren't bad, they were shredded chicken that was very pretty juicy, but not a ton of flavor added to the chicken. They do have 3 good salsas to choose from, so that helped add flavor to the pollo tacos. They have a self-serve salsa bar with the 3 salsa and some carrots, radishes and green chilies. They offer 2 red salsas, one hot and one mild, and 1 green sauce. All three were great, I think the best way to pick which one to use should be based off the amount of heat you want. And if you get enough tacos, you should try all 3 of them. When I went in for lunch, all of the tables inside were filled, but the service was still quick, and the tacos were perfect when I got home with my order. read more

I don't know what cleaner they use here but the smell was too strong. Too strong to the point my food kinda tasted like it. I don't know if they use the same cleaner for their pots but that's all I tasted. Had to toss the meal after a few bites. read more

Zero Stars if I could, the lady couldn't give me what I asked for. I kept saying flautas not taquitos and after the cook messed up my order three times she wanted to ask me if I wanted, flautas or taquitos. Like wtf. Also I'm pregnant and they brought out my husband's meal first while we waited for mine to come out 10 minutes later, so his food went cold. Bring it out at the same time at least. And the place was dirty I had to wipe off the seats from the food just to sit down. Waste of $25 for two flautas and a breakfast burrito. I do Not recommend. read more

I had been wanting to check this place out and finally did! This place is located in a shopping center. I came around 7:30, about 30 minutes to closing. Wait time for food was about 20 minutes. It was very slow around that time. I noticed they have different kinds of food in their menu. They have a sign outside stating they are now open on Mondays. I ordered 8 asada tacos. They were edible. Their red salsa was good and not too spicy. I would return, but not around to closing time. read more

Rancho Taco Shop - Asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Norco, California

Poor management, lack of professionalism and customer service was near ignorant. Said they could not correct their mistakes because the owner said no. Mind you this person was not onsite and completely in the dark that their business is being ran into the ground. Too bad. Use to be good. Now it's trashy service and basic food. Save the headache and go anywhere else. read more

Got a wet burrito , aSada burrito and a chorizo burrito. Got to say overall the food was solid. The service was good and the ambience was dope. The only thing I would say that they could work on would be how long it took for the food to come out next time I'll just call to place a to go order. (Highly recommended) read more

Today, was the first time I ordered from this spot and picked up to go. The Rancho Taco Shop is hidden, its behind Jack in the box and before the intersection light at 2nd street. If you go past 2nd street you went to far, just pull into jack in the box and drive behind it. I ordered the carne asada burrito which had beans, rice, onions, and cilantro. They have a taco special for tacos on Tuesday, I ordered three carnitas. The food quality was amazing, very tasty and good size for what you pay. I ordered can soda to go. They don't have fountain drinks here, just cans, bottle soda, or bottles of Jarritos. The lady who helped me up front (hispanic lady with glasses) was very polite. She asked if it was my first time I had been there? She let me know all the options of food and menudo they had available. However, she forgot to place my order. I waited for my order as about three customers behind me got their order before me. Very strange! Luckily the orders behind me were fast quick orders, once lady realized I hadn't got my order... she wrote down what I ordered then my food came out to go. Not good first impression, but my wait time wasn't that bad. They have a small salsa bar with salsas, cut lemons, etc. the shop restaurant has a t.v. In it which had news on. The parking lot is very large with surrounding business. Give this spot a try, just make sure lady doesn't forget to place your order. read more

I've tried the shrimp coctel, posole and tacos all delicious. The food tastes authentic as do the salsas as well. Our go to Mexican food out here. read more

This restaurant was very disappointing. This is the second time I have ordered here and i will never go back again. My first visit i was disappointed in my carne asada burrito because it was literally just filled with rice and beans. I decided to give it another try so I ordered a Carne asada burrito again and the size of the burro was impressive however, once I was eating it the majority of the burrito was all rice and beans again. I even paid for extra meat with less rice/beans and this is what 15 dollars will get you. The amount of meat wasn't even 1/4 cup. It literally fit into one of the salsa to-go cups. read more

Great food. Friendly staff, It's nice to see some of the tamazula employees when we pickup our orders.

Everything about this taco shop is amazing. My favs are the pastor tacos, chili verde burrito, and the shrimp cocktail, but you can choose literally anything on the menu and you will enjoy it. This is comfort food at its finest and I would recommend everyone in the area needs to give it a try! read more

Food was good, prices were reasonable. Service was excellent. Forgot to take pic, I'll be back!

Marketing/ SEO is very confusing. Facebook/ websites are not updated. Restaurant phone number is not updated. Jose was very rude and disrespectful to his guests. I tried to give Jose feedback about my experience and asked sincere probing questions about the new location but he did not want to hear it. Very rude. I've worked in the hospitality industry for years. Restaurants improve by listening to their customers not completely blowing them off. Im paying not only for the food but also for the customer service. I will not be spending my money at Rancho Taco shop, in Norco, anyone. read more

I work nearby so this was the spot spot we often hit up for taco Tuesday. 6 months later we decided to hit this place for tacos... I will never come back here again, there is a new owner, the taste and quality has gone to crap! Tacos are waaaaay smaller now. And the fish taco I use to love was a over-fried oiled thingy... read more

Ever since ownership changed, the service has plunged. In particular with the help and not necessarily the new owner. While the new owner is a younger gentleman, he seems nice enough and capable. The most recent experience I had last night (the straw that broke the camel's back) was with a young gal who had braces and boy was she snotty, immature and just an overall terrible communicator. I asked for a simple chicken burrito with only chicken, no beans, rice or cheese. She went into full court press with sideways faces about how she doesn't recommend that and that she would have to charge me $3 more and even with that, it would be so much smaller. Wait, what? And she said, "things work differently with the new owner." Uh, okay. So I pay more and still get less. That makes sense. I wished her a good night and walked out. She sarcastically replied with, "Have a good night!" read more

pretty damn good! i personally have not had their tacos (vegetarian), but my family says the meat is flavorful and toppings are fresh. i usually get their chile relleno, which is pretty good. i think the sauce they add could have a littttle more flavor, but it could be just me since my fam loves it. the beans are to die for, the rice is good too. recently i tried their chilequiles which were FANTASTIC! green salsa was so flavorful, so tasty. tortilla chips were coated in sauce but not mushy! the eggs were cooked perfectly too. not really the place for sit down, but good takeout. service is good too, the guy that's usually there is always friendly. read more

One of the best if not the best Mexican food restaurants, it is a small place but the service and quality of the food is outstanding. I bought some tamales and they were great, they had a lot of meat and they weren't all masa, and their menudo is also very rich. Keep up the great food!! read more

I've been here once and even referred a friend already and food is very good. (Even my picky friend liked this place) The service there is great and friendly customer service. Says "Mexican American food" so yes they speak Spanish and English there. (Se habla espanol) I ordered sopes but for those who aren't into sour cream they put a quite a bit on it which some people don't care for - but I love it! We also got a tostada which is one huge one they can definitely fuel you up! We got taquitos that were meaty! Definitely worth coming to this place! read more

First time trying this place I came in with my family! We walk in and were notgreeted at all not even a smile. The girl working comes from the back and walks up to register and pretty much whispers not even making eye contact. What do you want to order ? Oh wait then the phone rings , and she walks away(didn't tell us anything) takes the phone order and comes back to charge us (no thank you or anything). Fast forward we waited about 20-25 min for 9 tacos and 2 crunchy tacos (tacos dorados) she brings the food out doesn't say a word just places food on the table and walks away again. Food was tasty don't get me wrong but the service was bad . Will I come back ? Probably not ! read more
