I ordered the vegetarian taco salad, which was good, and the churros for dessert. Overall, it was an okay experience, but nothing particularly stood out. read more

I would not recommend... the food was pricey. It be one thing if it was outstanding... it was not. Our waitress was not very friendly. It was not busy we waited for service and drink refill as if it was hoping. It was our first and last visit read more

We came in around 830pm as a last minute decision because a lot of places were already closed & we didn't want public food & were so over-pizzad, we needed something else. There were 2 other occupied tables on arrival. Staff primarily spoke in Spanish to each other and English to patrons. I speak both languages and that allowed me to hear what staff were saying on both ends. The building is rather large with ample seating. We were given water, chips & salsa right away, as well as very large menus... probably too large. The hubs got the crazy donkey burrito, which has tasty skirt steak & i did the maxatlan burrito, which had rather plain shrimp. Authentic Mexican and a blob of sour cream don't go together for me but all of the burritos appeared to be topped with it. As a sour cream lover, I don't mind it. The portions were huge & the food was hot. Prices were high at nearly $22 per burrito, comparatively speaking to other similar restaurants. We enjoyed the salsa & we certainly overate, as we were travel and had no option to take leftover food with us. Service was decent and a 2nd set of chips & salsa was brought out. Neither of us finished out food & it came to $48/2, after tax with water to drink. read more

We had a large group of 30+ they were very accommodating making sure we had seats for everyone. The chips and salsa were great and they took all of our orders right away. Our food came out timely and pretty much at the same time. The food was delicious. We had many multiple checks and they handled it all. We had a great time. read more

Great food! Good times! Fun for the whole family. Achieve life goals. Try the Molcajete! read more

Rancho Viejo - Molcajete! - Mexican Near Me - Spokane Valley, Washington

I rarely stop in restaurants, but I was doing errands right before lunch and decided to try the place I'd been by for years. It was exactly what I'd hoped for, good, basic, Mexican food. It was also a large portion, so I did get what I paid for. I had the verde pork. The sauce was nice and the pork was tender. Good beans. I ate plenty of chips and salsa and they had no questions about refilling both. Polite, efficient staff. The only issue is they brought me flour rather than corn tortillas; but that's not enough to lower it by a full star. I give it 4.5, rounded up. read more

This place used to be so good. I brought my dad here for Father's Day today and the salsa was watered down tomato sauce. I got our food, a drink and first beer promptly and then all service disappeared! We waited, and waited and waited for someone to finally reappear to ask for real salsa and another drink. Never got the drink, got the same watered down ketchup sauce. Finally a waitress who understood English came back and brought salsa and a poorly made drink. All very disappointing! read more

Went here for Cinco De Mayo and it was pretty busy. The hostess could have done a way better job at keeping track of tables open and order of the list...but this review is mainly about the food because it's been some time since I had some decent Mexican food. Queso was super good and flavorful and the best I've had out in the Spokane area. Chips were good and crunchy not to salty or oily, margs were pretty good for the size and price. The fajitas were perfectly seasoned and cooked not too dry like some I've had. The atmosphere was pretty good not to loud or quiet. Also the worker Diego was phenomenal paying attention to everyone from chips and salsa refills, more water, to clearing out tables to get the line moving. That dude was the hardest worker and deserves a raise! read more

I can't say enough good things about this location! We come here all the time for nachos. Today in particular we got nachos but they accidentally put beans on it after we asked for none. Obviously accidents happen and they never do this so no biggie! I felt so bad even returning them for a new order but they were so kind and replaced the nachos and gave us more salsa and a free small dessert. Being pregnant and hormonal this made my whole night. I love rancho viejo read more

Food is real Mexican but more taste! service in English and Spanish. Its cool. Atmosphere is real Mexico. I'm feel good.

Very friendly people with yummy food. The portion was great and I felt welcomed and well taken care of. I would definitely go there again to try different food! read more

Loved this place. Truly mexican plates and the staff was friendly. Only recommended a wash on the walls. Spots of salsa on a picture was a shame. But the restaurant is still amazing. read more

The food is okay. Nobody got sick afterwards. We find this place really overpriced and not a good value for Spokane or family's. We have had borderline rude waitstaff both times we went, that seemed inconvenienced by having to wait on people. The portions of meat in all the dishes were disappointing considering the high prices. The menu is ridiculous. Save your money until the place gets a Gordon Ramsey turnaround from back to the front. read more

Very nice staff and very prompt. Had the chili Colorado wi to h beans, rice and salad. Excellent flavor and thought I was back home in Texas. Great lunch and will be back. Go and enjoy some traditional Mexican food. read more

Rancho Viejo - Welcome - Mexican Near Me - Spokane Valley, Washington

Great service and terrible food. It's the place to go if you like saggy broccoli in your chicken burrito. And chicken pieces were had to be found with magnifiying glass and chicken tasted like it was half cooked chicken patty's bought at Costco, warmed up and then cut in to minute pieces so you can call this a chicken burrito and not a saggy broccoli burrito. NO FLAVOR OF ANY KIND. It was classic bait and switch, put CHICKEN in large print and saggy broccoli in small print. Worst money spent on food EVER!!!! read more

So I asked for a large combo burrito tostada and enchilada 65 fkkn dollars???!? WTF!!! I will never go back the ass that took my order didn't make a combo. I got three Mole enchiladas beans and rice ....HELLA SWEET not like it used to be...NOT GOOD DO NOT GET IT!!!! A tostada Beans and rice I big burrito with adobada beans and rice I really got screwed by them and will NEVER go back and will tell everyone that they should find anywhere else Do not go to this place I got raped read more

had the crab and shrimp enchilada, tasted fishy and old. when I told the waitress she just took my plate and walked off. when the tortilla chips and salsa were gone we had to ask for some more. They finally brought some as we were paying the bill and leaving. Will definitely try someone else. read more

Great lasting experience with Rancho Viejo we came in late to dine in and hospitality was amazing read more

Rancho Viejo - Bar - Mexican Near Me - Spokane Valley, Washington

Decent food, but the waiters are absolute jerks and we've been overcharged several times.

Arguably the most popular and successful Mexican restaurant in the area. It's always busy because there isn't any real competition around and you can count on a really good meal. So why is it one star? Well, we eat here a lot and the food is good. We felt like treating ourselves and ordered Carne Asada for takeout. We bought two Carne Asada plates and it was terrible. The meat was dry and tough & the beans were over seasoned with white pepper. The guacamole on top was old and discolored. For $63 we expected a special meal... instead it was the worst meal we've ever had from here.. read more

I eat here with friends all the time. Brought family here Saturday there were 7 of us. Service was slow but we just figured she was very busy. We ordered the regular margaritas and the cadillac $23.00 margarita. The all tasted the same... weak and very tart. I ordered fish tacos. Worst I've ever had. A piece of fish on a flour tortilla. Nothing to go on it! Normally I order the fajita burrito but wanted something light. The bill came to 375 bucks for 7 of us. 1 out of the group had 3 drinks the rest of us just 1. I could barely see the bill since I left my reading glasses at home so just added the tip. We got up to leave and heard the table next to us complain about his meal. The gal got the manager because it wasn't a simple hair it was a MOUSE cooked into his food. She carried it away as if it was no big deal. We immediately put our to go boxes on the table and felt sick. Totally grossed out. I asked for a partial refund and they refused. We left. Once I got home I noticed the added 48.00 to my bill for their tip. No wonder service was so bad. Unfortunately I added a tip not knowing that so she got close to 100 bucks. I will never return to this restaurant and can't believe they are even open. I mean it would take a lot of steps for a mouse to be missed. I bet if they noticed it they would have pulled it off the plate and still served it! I honestly will never go to another Mexican restaurant after this experience! read more

My go to Mexican in the valley if we are eating out. Been coming here since I was in grade school with my family & now I bring my family here. Love the enchiladas! They make the best Shirley temple too. Service is always quick and friendly read more

It's ok. Service was good. I liked the atmosphere inside but the food was lacking flavor. Probably wouldn't go back because there are better places in the valley. read more

Went to dinner tonight with our elderly parents. We were greeted at the door with a "How many?" No smile or how are you tonight. We were taken to a table where she tossed the menus down and walked off. It took awhile for chips and salsa and even longer, 15 mins or so, for someone to take a drink order. The food came out more quickly but was below mediocre. The plates were hot, but the food was lukewarm. Our bill was $128.00 and I've had better burritos at Sr. Froggy. We will not go back to the Valley location again and will stick to the South Hill location where the food is hot and Jose and his family treat you like you are a part of theirs. read more

My family and I love this place! The food is good, the staff professional and the atmosphere feels like being at a family reunion catching up with loved ones and long-time-no-see family members. My husband, daughter (12 yo) and I order the same thing most visits. It does not disappoint! Pros Friendly and professional staff. Consistently well prepared food. At home feel atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Family friendly. Cons Nothing to report. Overall Review Great place to catch up with any and everyone. Good homestyle Mexican food. read more

The food was very good. I had the veggie fajitas and it turned out excellent. Portion size was nice as well - brought home a 1/3 of my entrée as a snack for later tonight. Thinking the family owns another up on the upper South Hill of Spokane that I have frequented before. Nice to know there's one in the Valley as well. read more

Went out on Cinco De Mayo and the place was hopping'. But they still seated 3 of us in about 30 mins. Always have good service here. Awesome enchiladas and chimichanga and sizzlin fajitas. Always large plates of food with best quality ingredients. Somehow they have the best seasoned beef and chicken in the Valley. Our go to place for Mexican. read more

We've been here twice, and have loved it both times! My hubby ordered the mole the first time (I don't remember what he ordered the second time), and I had the deluxe tostada. So...so good! The refried beans are actually seasoned well, where most Mexican restaurants I've been to have really bland refried beans. Very tasty! I agree on the service here--slightly lacking. Like they don't really care. They kept the water and salsa and chips coming, asked how everything was-normal stuff. Just kinda meh. Nothing above and beyond. Their food is so delicious, that I just don't care, but they'd get better tips if they did more! Also, the mild salsa is really watery with not much flavor--even my 7 year old liked the medium salsa better! Overall, cute but crusty decor, great food-so great, that said 7 year old let out an epic blech after his lunch that got instant praise from a fellow diner!! Sold! read more

We stopped here for lunch during our road trip to Glacier National Park. We ordered many vegetarian dishes on the menu and they all tasted great. The Taco vege salad was the best of all. We ordered the food online for pickup and during pickup we checked with the waitress if we could eat at the restaurant as it was pretty empty at that time(we did tip her generously). The waitress was very rude. Other than that, we enjoyed dining at the restaurant. read more

This is my first visit, and my daughter and I shared the Chicken Fajita. It was hot, tender, but not very flavorful despite the rich coloring of the meat spices. Service was pleasant, as was the atmosphere. Chips and salsa are made in-house and very tasty. read more

I was visiting the area and stopped in with family that frequent Rancho Viejo. I ordered fajitas. The portion was large and I enjoyed the chicken. The place is a bit worn but it appeared clean. We had decent service. read more

Horrible experience! The rice and beans were the only thing good, everything else sub par, not to mention the bug in my Dad's meal and the 14 inch blond hair in mine! My dad was sick the entire day after that. Super slow and bad service too and it wasn't even busy! Will never go there again! read more

Phenomenal Mexican food. We both had chicken enchilada meals. We were blown away with the enchilada sauce flavor and the corn tortilla quality. Will definitely return. Delectable. read more

Good good. Service very bad. Waiter was extremely rude. We were in the restaurant for almost two hours. Had to flag down another server to finally get our bill. read more

This is a great place to eat. Dine in or take out you are sure to get a belly full. The food selection is great and the servers are courteous. The waiters/waitresses circulate regularly and are there to help help meet your satiety for great Mexican dishes. My family eats there or from at least once a month. read more

It should be noted that I am a salsa snob. A bad salsa will ruin en entire dining experience for me. But a great salsa can redeem even the most mediocre dinner plate. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that here. Their salsa is lo delicioso de Spokane. In fact, I haven't tasted a finer salsa anywhere. It's just that good. I wish they would sell it by the jar. The food is also amazing. I usually stick to a few of my favorites, but I'm sure everything else on the menu is just as good. And I love that they bring a pitcher of water to the table. There is nothing worse than downing a glass of water after inhaling a jalapeno seed, only to have to wait 5 minutes to get a refill. Not here. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, the friendly wait staff always brings a delicious tortilla thingy covered in strawberry glaze and whipped cream. My son doesn't like them ... so I get two. Victory! Ole! read more

I am from Southern California, my husband's family all from Mexico. We love Mexican food! While we will quickly note that this is an American version of "Mexican food" it is pretty good. (Having lived all over So. Cal for 30 + years, most of those restaurants are not authentic either... Just saying) This Rancho Viejo location is my favorite. We eat here frequently and the staff as well as the food have been consistent. Love the Pollo Carnitas! Chips and salsa good, but skip the mild stuff they put out for the kids... Too mild! The staff is great with our toddler, who loves this place. Great drinks as well. We just took a party of 16 here after a day at the tree farm. Everyone was happy and I was pleasantly surprised with the reasonable bill. I highly recommend! read more

Don't let the less than intelligent reviews fool you, this place is amazing! Yes it takes awhile to be served, but that's part of being at a quality restaurant, everyone's used to instant gratification, they don't want to wait. If you just calm down and enjoy yourself you'll find that when your food comes its worth the wait. The staff was friendly, the prices were a bit high but thats because the food isn't cheap and quick here, and I would recommend if you want some great Mexican food and you're in the area- go here! :) read more
