Chips and salsa! Yes, please. But I always have to pace myself or I won't be able to eat my meal! I had the Rancho Viejo burrito with ground beef. Super tasty. Filling? Yes. Sour cream and guacamole on top, just the way I like it. Service was great. It was a Sunday evening and only a few people in the restaurant. Typical Mexican decor, tastefully done. Nice big parking lot. read more

1.26.26: I was in the area for an appointment and wanted to have lunch before my hour drive home. I've been to the Rancho Viejo in Post Falls and it was good, so I hoped this one was just as good. It was late afternoon after the usual lunch rush. After walking in, we were greeted and sat right away--we were the only ones in the restaurant our entire meal. I didn't know the name of our server, but at the end when we received our bill, it said our server was: Magui V. She was the only person we interacted with from beginning to end. She brought us chips and salsa and took our drink order. We both got Shirley Temples, which were super tasty. The salsa had a little kick to it that day and I liked it. As for my entree, I went with the Enchiladas Cancun (see my pics for menu description) and my roommate ordered a combo plate with a taco and enchilada. Our plates arrived HOT! I loved that--nothing is more annoying than a luke warm plate of food that's been sitting lol. My Enchiladas Cancun was great! I was hesitant about the spinach since I've never had it in an enchilada, but I like spinach so it was a winner. The shrimp, spinach, cottage cheese, and veggies melded well together with the cheese and green sauce. One of my favorite parts of a Mexican dish is the beans and rice and mine were spot on. My roommate said his taco and enchilada were pretty good and because he ordered this same exact meal at the other location, he felt Post Falls was a bit saucier. Our server, Magui, surprised us at the end with a little dessert treat. It was what appeared to be a deep fried pastry chip with a dollop of whip cream and strawberry sauce--simple, yet tasty and I didn't walk away with onion taste in my mouth from my meal. Definite positive! Magui was an awesome server: attentive, checked on us at appropriate times, really friendly, and gotta give her love for the sweet bite at the end! I will be back again for sure. read more

Tried Rancho Viejo for the first time recently and while the food was pretty good and the ambiance was fun the service left a lot to be desired. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time and our waiter only returned to drop the food and then pick up our dirty plates. No checking it to see how things were, offering to replenish drinks or refill waters. Overall a little disappointing. read more

This place is amazing. Food always comes out quick, the taste is spot on authentic, and I come here all the time.Every time I go it's better than the last.Zero complaints from me, ever read more

Great Mexican cuisine and a very diverse menu. Lots of seafood options too. We've ate here when craving a Mexican sit-down dinner every time since discovering it about six-months ago. It's a bit off the beaten path and we didn't know it was here for the first couple years after we moved to the South Hill. They have daily specials with popular dishes at a reduced price. They also have happy hour until 6:00 pm which gives time to make it in after work before it ends. Tonight I had the chicken carnitas plate and a Corona served in a frozen mug with lime slice. I often get a large combination. They have a large selection of differing styles of margaritas that can be ordered in different sizes with a selection of tequilas too. They only have beers in bottles. No draft beers on tap (kind of a bummer if you're wanting a craft beer). I'm pretty sure you'll like a meal from Rancho Viejo on 57th. read more

The happy hour is good. The margaritas are great. The prices are pretty reasonable. I'm pretty picky about refried beans and there's are pretty good. read more

One of my favorite restaurants! Friendly service and delicious food. My husband and I used to frequent the Valley location. Now there is a location on the South Hill conveniently located off 57th in a little strip mall. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I love their salsa - fresh and lightly spicy. Portions are big so you can share a meal or just enjoy an app and a drink. Great for family gatherings, dinner with friends, or after work happy hour. You can't go wrong here! read more

The prices are steep for SPOKANE or any city for that matter. We ordered pollo a la crema and pollo Diablo, each single plate was $19.98! This is astronomical for mexican food. The food is So delicious but they're definitely price gouging. The quality, sauces are excellent. We've been here a dozen times and this price inflation doesn't sit well with us. We've taken friends here, large family parties and we do take out quite often but $45 for take out doesn't seem like fair pricing. Food is excellent but prices are not. read more

Hey it's not taco truck authentic but it's great food and a great family to support! The people are very nice and the food never disappoints! I am obsessed with their Pollo Azado Burrito. It's hard not to get every time, but in the cases I do branch off the ceviche is delicious and a generous enough portion that I don't walk away still hungry. But back to the pollo azado burrito, seriously the mixture of veggies and chicken, smothered in the verde sause is perfection in the making. You can tell they put love into what they are sending out! read more

Took the family out for Mexican dinner. We had a great meal. I was so full! The portions were good. Great tasting salsa and the chips kept coming. Friendly server and very accommodating. All the food came in hot plates and was very fresh and colorful. We really enjoyed our meal. Will definitely go back when we are in town visiting next time. Thanks for a great dining experience read more

This is a great place for a celebration or a party or an after work soirée or a POETS club event. I would classify this restaurant as both a family restaurant as well as a sports bar. They often have specials on margaritas. The decor is very festive and the music fits the decor. The waitstaff is very pleasant and will explain any of the dishes to you if you do not frequent Mexican restaurants often. Usually I order a burrito but I decided to try the huevos rancheros this time and they tasted wonderful. All they needed was a little hot sauce for some extra spiciness. I also ordered a negra modelo which complemented the huevos very nicely. I know, beer with a breakfast dish is not recommended. Parking is simple as there is a large private parking lot for your use. Overall this is a solid Mexican restaurant with tasty food at a reasonable price. You won't be disappointed if you eat here. read more

Always love this place, great food service, great ambiance they got a few TVs if you want to catch the game.

Unfortunately one of our favorites places to get the family together for a meal provided the some of the worst service we have ever experienced. The younger waitress appeared to avoid our group and when we could find her was irritated when we asked for a beverage or appetizer. It was not busy and we couldn't believe her lack of attentiveness. This is the second time this waitress has been been poor. The last time we wrote it off as a bad day as they happen to all of us. This time was over the top bad. Sad that we will have to find another place for our family group to get together. The food with the exception a couple orders of tacos which had burnt chorizo was okay. read more

Tasty food and an exceptional staff, very attentive! We got the carne Asada and it was delicious and an overly generous serving! We each enjoyed a specialty margarita as well. We'll be back in our next visit to Spokane! read more

Great food, good service and atmosphere. Went back a second time and will go again if in the area.

This place was a great option for weeknight dinner with the kids. We sat in a booth in the corner, and didn't feel bad at all that our child was spooning salsa out of the dish, or occasionally yelling. It was that right mix of casual that enabled my husband and I to enjoy a margarita together and recap our busy days, but have kid friendly food easily available. My first takeaway related to the "original margarita". It was very good. The original margarita is a bit elevated from their cheapest marg and includes a housemade lime base etc. I'm picky about my margaritas and they did a great job here. My second takeaway was related to the great peanut butter enchilada sauce mystery. Basically I saw on Yelp and in their menu that there was PB in the sauz. That didn't sound good to me, but I really wanted enchiladas. Thankfully I asked the waitress about it, hoping she could explain, and she said very adamantly that there is no PB in the enchilada sauce anymore and that the menu was wrong. I got the enchiladas, enjoyed them immensely, and couldn't taste any peanut butter. So, mystery solved. read more

We keep coming back and I keep forgetting to check in. For the love..8! This is one of our favorite places to eat. Apparently, considering that they automatically bring me mild salsa when dropping off our first bowl of chips and salsa. Anyway. I'm surprised I haven't yelped about this place yet, but before I do, I want to say that I read thru several of the neg reviews because I was so surprised that there was an average of only 3 stars. I'm sorry that those folks had a bad experience here. We have been coming to this location, frequently, for over 8 years. We enjoy the food and the staff here. I have been to 2 other locations and like this one best. The margarita's rock. I love that there are 3 sizes, small, medium and huge. My other half gets excited like a kid to come for the chips and salsa. The food is good and I look forward to the variety of the menu. So why didn't I give a 5 Star you ask? As much as I like this place, there's always room for improvement. I agree with one of the neg reviews that the platers, not plates, are half portioned with beans and rice. I would also like to mention that we too have experienced bad service, from one guy in particular. It drove me crazy and frankly pissed me off to get him. Oh well, it didn't stop us from coming. All in all, I recommend this restaurant. We feel it is better than most of the other Mexican restaurants in town. Give it a try and see for yourself. read more

This place is as authentic as they come. The servers greeting you in Spanish, the decore, jaritos, and the food. The food is on point. The tamales have made my keto diet fly out the window. I see where a lot of people are upset about the prices here but this is not Taco Bell. This is a nice place to sit and eat even for date night. This place has authentic Mexican food like if I was back in Mexico. I love this place. They truly deliver the Mexican flair. read more

Review of Rancho Viejo chicken nuggets: Presentation was excellent: nuggets and fries were arranged symmetrically and separately, to avoid cross-contamination of flavors. Also excellent taste. Consisted of a firm but moist patty with a juicy, chicken-flavored bite. The breading was crisp, lightly browned, and most importantly, it adhered firmly to the chicken. These nuggets deftly walked the tightrope between greasy, but not too greasy, salty but not too salty, tender but not too tender. Only complaint is the pricing. Total came out to $6, and for 5 nuggets, that's $1.20 per nugget, making Rancho Viejo more expensive than some of its nugget peers. But, kind of like buying a BMW or a Rolex, sometimes luxury costs a little extra. Overall: 5/5 Stars read more

Really good. Lots of good options. Plates come out hotter than sh!t, and that's a good thing in my book. So, so good. I'd like to say it's a little overpriced, but I'm finding that restaurants in Spokane are a little more expensive than I'm accustomed to. read more

This is the best Mexican food in Spokane. I've moved here from California and was worried that there would be no quality authentic Mexican food. I was wrong to worry. Jose and the staff are courteous and prompt and the food is fantastic. I'm now a regular because their happy hour margaritas are awesome at a fair price. Keep up the great business! read more

This place is awesome. I really discovered this place while listening to 92.9 KZZU Morning Show with Dave, Ken & Molly. Now Dave and Ken had both mentioned this place so my family and I tried it.

I'm very disappointed and bothered by this business. It's a shame that I've had to take my business elsewhere. Their food is really good but very expensive and the customer service is just terrible. They are short and almost condescending sometimes. I used to frequent them all the time last year during COVID and the restaurant was always empty. I felt bad for them. Their customer service is just atrocious! The menu on here isn't accurate. I ordered something to go and come in to pick it up and the price on their online menu was 11.99, I get there and they charged me 19.99! Refused to honor the pricing and just told me that the menu online is outdated. I stopped going here after realizing that it wasn't just an off day but every time I came here that I was mistreated. read more

Decent food but feeling taken on the tacquito appetizer. It was about $11 and came with 10 tiny taquitos. Tiny, like 1" long. Good for a last minute dinner but definitely not your main Mexican joint. 3 stars for over pricing and under delivering. read more

I came into eat here today and had Lalo as my server, he literally is the reason I'll come back he made my experience a 5 star experience for sure!!! I ordered drinks and a cheese crispi and it was seriously so good!!! read more

I think I am a little too accustomed to good mexican food. I have lived in NYC, Cali, and Vegas all of which have great authentic mexican food for reasonable prices....mind you, this whole review is based off take out. We tried this place out today because of a tip I got from someone when moving here and although it wasn't bad, it wasnt by any means anything worth bragging about. We got the chicken nachos (very bland), an enchilada meal (which was okay but a little overpriced) and a kids quesadilla (I could have made better at home). I doubt I will be going back to this place for take out, maybe to sit in so I could have a few drinks but not for takeout. Wasn't impressed and the quality of the food wasnt worth the price paid. However, the service was pretty on point. Very friendly staff. read more

I will never eat here again!! My mom, sister and niece ate here today. The staff is very standoffish (unless you are Hispanic), drinks are very weak and food was beyond awful. Do you use any spices at all?!? I realize there are not very many Mexican restaurants, but there are good ones.... Tecate (on West Wellesley/Alberta), Casa de Oro (Division), or Fiesta Mexicana (13 & Grand) are much better!!! Good luck people!!! read more

I looooovvvveeeee Mexican food. Sometimes though, it can be hard to find good Mexican food. The staff here is very friendly. They make you feel welcome. The food here is great. I am a die hard fajita person and was very happy with it. All the ingredients tasted fresh. They give you a good amount of tortillas. The chips and salsa are good too. The salsa has some heat, but its not overpowering. Happy hour here is from 2-7. That's pretty awesome. Overall I'm very happy with this place. I will be returning. read more

If I could give it 0 starts I would. I'm never going back to this place ever again. I found hair in my food and when I told them about it they told me to cry about it. I only got one name and his name was Jesús. And right when I was leaving I got called the hard r by him. I feel incredibly offended. Never go here. read more

We are out of towners visiting family and wanted a Mexican dinner for an evening out. This place was truly awesome! The homemade salsa was wonderful and onion-y, the margaritas were fresh and had lots of fruit, and our food was served hot and spot-on with the menu descriptions. The menu is huge and there seems to be something for everyone. Very progressive flavors and we are completely happy we came here for dinner! The staff were so wonderful and covid-safe. We ended up getting some take-out to bring home to the family. Highly recommend! read more

Yummy! I was so glad my cousin suggested going to this place when I was visiting him in Spokane this past weekend. We showed up with a large group early in the evening and they were able to seat us instantly. The service was very nice as well. Chips were warm and slightly salty. The salsa was okay. I felt as though it could have been a bit spicier (but I do come from Vegas where things can get REAL spicy, haha). I ordered one of their big burritos. It was massive, but very tasty. Got it with shredded chicken and the house beans stuffed inside. The presentation was good and they gave me plenty of guacamole. Even though I thought I wouldn't eat half of it, I ended up only leaving a small portion of it on the plate. The other dinner item the people of my group got that looked really good was the Ceasar-style chicken salad. The girl eating it said it was really good. Of course, the others in the group got your typical Mexican-fare: cheese enchiladas, taquitos, and a beef burrito. Everyone seemed very pleased with their meals though! They also split our checks, very nice of them. I am a fan! read more
