Staff is extremely friendly but we went on dads weekend and ordered the queso and got a plate of melted cheese. The food and drinks took 30 mins to be brought to us. read more

This place is a decent Mexican restaurant located in the middle of Pullman. I had their Camarones a la Crema (Shrimp with cream) and I ate the food before I could even take a picture. They start you out with chips and salsa (btw the salsa is the best) and then the menu has a wide variety of choices to pick from. I would definetly consider coming again. The reason for 4 stars, is because they don't give you enough rice and beans. I feel for the price of the plate, one should get a bit more food. read more

Restaurant food is pretty standard Mexican fare nothing special, lots of nice booths to sit at though. The bar in the evening has tasty selection of special margaritas at good prices but a bit weak. read more

Honestly the food is okay & the drinks are great. However the service was SO slow. We sat downstairs in the bar and weren't even greeted for over 15 minutes. No water nothing. Then we had to keep asking for the same things multiple times before we got it. I don't think it was our waiters fault he was nice but only 2 people were working and it was decently busy. Over all I think next time I'll just make the drive to la casa it's better food and service. Don't necessarily think it's the staffs fault, management could probably be better. read more

Great service, great margaritas, great food and a great environment. My first time there and I was treated like family by the staff. George made us all feel welcome and we will definitely be returning. Go Cougs, Go Rancho Viejo! read more

Ordered pickup, had to go back for my fajita tortillas that they forgot. Food was wonderful though!

I came here a few times during the Spring 2020 semester and I do not regret the decision to try something new. The service is quick and friendly. Some items are a bit pricey but it's always been very delicious and fresh. I will definitely be back when it's safe to do so. read more

The worst mexican food I ever ate! Old commercial subpar taco shell, and gawd awful taco. I took two bites and tossed it.(too bad this was take-out otherwise I would ask for my money back!). The salsa was crappy, again served with junk chips from a cheap vender. The beans were awful. I also had a few bites of it and tossed it out as well. But even the little i had i got the runs from it! Worst. Ever. Mexican. Food. I live in LA area and eaten a fare share of mex food,as in a lot beside eating it in restaurants in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. I know my Mexican food. Sadly, this place is disgusting food masquerading as mexican fare. It gives montezuma's revenge a whole new meaning! read more

The food was ok. No refills on Horchata (rice water) even though it tasted like it was just made from horchata mix (not authentic rice and cinnamon). Service was ok until waiter started cussing in spanish. My boyfriend ordered a refill on his Coke with no ice and she starts bad mouthing him in spanish not knowing that I know spanish too. She later came back out with the soda and I let her know I knew spanish and she kind of tried to play nice but I wasn't buying it. Overall its a good place to go if you don't know spanish and your not into authentic mexican food. read more

Portions are on the small side. Service is real good. Dishes seem bland and flavorless. Mexican food should have intense flavors in my opinion. I remember this place being better in the past. Salsa is not very good. read more

I love this place! Delicious food, welcoming staff, great vibe! The owner Livier waited on us, she was so kind and I love all her drink and dish recommendations! read more

Great Mexican food in Pullman, Washington. We came on dad's weekend so the place is packed. Servers seem frazzled running here and there but still maintain they're friendly service. Just a note for the owners if it's a busy night get the utensils ready saves extra time for your servers. read more

OK, so I REALLY enjoy good Mexican food. This place is just OK. They have fairly decent service, but the food does not stand out at all. I have eaten here three times, but prefer to drive to Moscow as there are two GREAT Mexican restaurants there. read more

This is my second time coming to this restaurant, it was so good i decided to give it a review, i'm so pleased with the environment, the customer service and the freshness and quality of the food. My server was very polite. I will come to this place every time when i am in the Pullman, Moscow area. Or Palouse as the Idahoans and Washington peeps call it. Lol. Highly recommended. read more

I worked a long day. I'm beat. Took my shoes of and plopped down in my room...hungry. I can't bear the thought of going out. Traveling for work and staying in a hotel is new for me. I open up Yelp and select delivery options near me. A familiar favorite pops up...hmm...they deliver? The app is very simple, the menu has a full selection of entrees, the delivery fee is spendy ($4.99)...but I'm tired. I order. I pre-tip. Then, I wait. Forty-five minutes, an hour...maybe normal. I keep talking myself out of calling. I'm getting hangry! After a little over an hour, I call. It's just been sent out for delivery! Yippee! From order to delivery - exactly an hour and a half. I'd say delivery might not be your best option. Food was mediocre after sitting that long. Next time, I'll get my big girl pants on and go out for dinner... read more

Atmosphere is very festive, wait staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. I gave it a four star rating though because the server pushed for us to buy alcoholic beverages. As my husband and I don't mind a drink every now and again, we were out with my husbands Mormon parents. Granted, wait staff isn't a bunch of mind readers and shouldn't be expected to do so... I just think it might be a good idea to only ask once. Not everybody is a drinker. read more

Worst place ever never eat here you'll get the runs from the water! Terrible customer service and the food was not even mediocre. Seriously never go here unless you need to cure your constipation. read more

Sad excuse for Mexican. For Pullman it is what it is....bland, watery, flavorless. Don't waste your time.

Zach and I grabbed lunch here a few weeks ago and were pretty pleased with the experience. The salsa was okay but almost too spicy so that you couldn't really taste it. The chips were good, though. We got lunch-sized portions and I thought it was perfect but it wasn't quite enough for Zach. We are smaller people, so I definitely think that a large guy would need twice as much food to be satisfied. My only real complaint is that the restaurant seemed dusty. We were sitting near the window and it was really sunny outside, so we could see dust floating in the air. read more

Great authentic Mexican food. Been to many different places and this place is great. Friendly staff, big bar and seating area, fast and great food. I'll be back . read more

Favorite place to go for mexican food in Pullman, they also make great drinks

Our first time here - the place was empty at 12p on a Sunday afternoon. Service was fast and friendly. Carne Asada was seasoned nicely, the rice and beans were good as well. The red sauce for the enchiladas had a sweet flavor, not like tomato sweet, but like sugar sweet. I think I prefer a more chile/peppery red sauce, but the generous amounts of cheese made up for the sweetness I didn't care for. The decor is very traditional, just like you'd find in Southern CA where we are from. We're undecided if we like this place more or less than La Casa Lopez in Moscow ID, but it's very convenient to get to where we are staying in Pullman. read more

The server admitted that the vegetables are frozen, and they don't make the tortillas or chips in house. The beans are watery and probably come dehydrated; generally weak menu offerings and poor service as well. Messed up 3/10 orders. read more

I scheduled a lunch meeting for 15-16 people, at 11:45 on Friday at Rancho, and I am happy to report that the service was excellent, the food was hot, fast, and fresh, and special requests were accommodated graciously and without error. We were provided with plenty of fresh chips and salsa, and our water pitchers were refilled promptly. This is a great place to have a lunch meeting. Very reasonable prices make it affordable for everyone and the efficient service allows you to keep to a tight time frame. Be sure to call ahead a day or two in advance, ask for the "side room" for meetings, and speak to Pedro. (It also doesn't hurt to check back early on the day of your event) There is a bigger room downstairs that they might be persuaded to open for larger gatherings. Rancho is a great place to try if your group is looking for a change from the other usual meeting places. We had a great experience and we will be back. Thank you, Rancho! read more

I've been here a handful of times and the restaurant always lacks service. The menu is huge so it takes forever to decide but the servers make you feel rushed. The food is hit or miss, I ordered nachos (a simple basic order) and it lacked. However we've ordered nachos in the bar and they were great. The bar has a smaller menu and great service though! We only go to the bar now. read more

Best Mexican restaurant in town! Very fast service and the waiters will make up nick names for you based on the drink you ordered :)

I've been there several times and the food and service are great every time. It's a fun atmosphere and the prices are fair. Nothing beats their enchiladas mole. read more

I always love Mexican food, but this place hasn't won me over yet. We have gone twice now, and first, the prices are higher than comparable places in the Moscow/Pullman area. The salsa is super spicy, and I love spicy! I bet a lot of people have a hard time eating it. The service was good both times, we just prefer other places. read more

It is cheap, delicious, and has a great vegetarian menu. You can't get any better than that. The service is always quick, and nice. This is by far one of my favorite places to eat in Pullman. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. VERY friendly service, excellent quality of food, quick service and food delivery. Can take orders to go. They have a great menu, my personal favorite is their Arroz con Pollo. I swear that I'm addicted to the stuff. I HIGHLY recommend. read more

sure, i'll have mexican food tonight. my friend is moving in across the street, and i've been helping her with little projects. this was the first time we went to rancho viejo for dinner, but i doubt the last. first, decor: it's spot on! i could only see my friends at the table and people walking by. perfect. i didn't have to stare at other people while eating. food: A-ok. not bad at all. the salsa is fantastic. finally, someone dared to serve something spicy and not from a jar. i tried the chicken and mushroom thingy with the sour cream base sauce. i forgot what it's called. i always ask the server what their favorite thing on the menu is. our server whimsically replied, "everything". wow, you sold me. then he recommended this dish. it was okay. nothing special. the cream sauce sort drowned out the flavor of the chicken. it came with tortillas, three of them. yes, just three. i like to make small little burrito sized tortilla things, cause i'm weird like that. so, three tilla's was not enough for the dish. drinks: i've always wanted to try a singapore sling (thank you, tom waits), so i tried one here, "rancho style!". honestly, it tasted like k-mart. really, try it, you'll understand what i mean. it was good, but totally reminded me of tube socks for 99 cents, and blue light specials. overall, nice. i can dig it. not the best i've had, but it'll do for dusty old pullman. read more

The atmosphere is festive, but the food is very average. Not bad, but nothing spectacular.

Didnt get a chance to eat. Sat for 23 minutes with our pitcher of water and basket of chips and no one came by. When I tried to get their attention they said it was a " crazy " night. It wasent even busy. read more

The place is very comfortable I like the pictures on the restaurant the second floor, the food is very good deftly I'll be back

The chicken en mole is crazy good- go at lunch and get it cheap! Yummy chips and salsa. Service is hit or miss.

My favorite mexican place. Love the atmosphere and the food. Really good margaritas!

The food is delicious, and the service very good. The restaurant and staff, additionally, put together an excellent atmosphere, and give customers a very positive experience. read more

As always, Mexican food is a bit heavy, but this place is one of a kind.

I have visited rancho several times and never had a good experience. From slow service, getting the wrong entree, forgotten drinks you name it. You only get 3 or 4 tortillas with fajitas and they charge you for extra. The one good thing i can say is that they are reasonable at accommodating larger groups. I recommend the crazy donkey and rancho burritos if you insist on eating here.... read more

Took my freshman son to dinner and thoroughly enjoyed this place. He had the Carne Assada and I the beef fajitas and both were excellent. Service was attentive, portions were generous and the price point was in line with what one would expect in a college town. After having the worst hamburger in my entire 58 years at the local brew pub during a previous visit (hint-it's housed in the old Post Office), I would return to this Mexican food restaurant in a nano-second. Que bueno. read more
