1.26.26: I was in the area for an appointment and wanted to have lunch before my hour drive home…read more 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.

UPDATE see my original review below. I just read through all…read morethe comments and actually saw some after I wrote my review saying the same thing customer saying the same thing about the same food and how is bland and it apparently this restaurant does nothing about these reviews and doesn't listen to us as customers. I have absolutely no confidence that this restaurant is gonna survive. I would bet you that they're operating on a negative profit margin every month right now. And even with that they just still don't get it that they have to change their food and up their game. It looks like what other people are saying on here is that their sauces are not authentically ground from the peppers and everything that normally people do when they make Mexican food. That the meat is horrible. That they are not seasoning it so whoever's doing the cooking obviously is not somebody that knows how to cook and taste their own food. How can you make chicken like that for a burrito for crying out loud this is all you do in life is put chicken and burritos and tacos but you don't ever taste the meat? You can't tell that it's like not juicy? It has no flavor? It taste like you froze it and then microwaved it or put it in a crockpot without flavor? I just don't get it. You can see my original review below. And just like I said before it looks like this restaurant does not ever read the reviews because what you will see is that this review of mine will be on here for years and they'll never be any response online openly from the manager to address this issue. I'm on a road trip from California so I have Mexican food all the time there and so I decided to have a chicken burrito from this place. I ordered takeout and if they said, do you want sour cream on it I said yes I just said go ahead and put everything on it. I just want a good chicken burrito so I got this chicken burrito inside of this package and the tortilla was soggy and it was not like a grilled tortilla like toasty. The chicken meat inside of it was absolutely dry, overcooked, and really bland. It almost tasted like somebody had thrown it in a crockpot for eight hours and left it cause it just soaked all the fat out of it. It wasn't tender or anything. I was strongly suggest that that would be a number one priority at this restaurant is to not serve that kind of chicken meat. It's not good in any way shape or form. The only kind of chicken meat you should be serving out that chicken in the burritos is fried grilled in your kitchen right before right when you make the burrito and then cut it up and put it in the burrito and it needs to be juicy and not overcooked which means that you cannot freeze the chicken. Now that I think about it, it taste like the chicken was previously frozen, which took some moisture out of it and then it was crockpot ted which took the rest of the fat out of it, and then they served it in the burrito. It failed in all the categories, and I don't understand that if somebody's gonna put this much money into a restaurant why they would serve something like that. On my road trip I actually had a burrito from that gas station called Maverick or Mavic. The burrito at that place was superior than the one I got from this place. It should not be that way and I'm not saying this to be mean I'm being very honest about it with a ton of experience growing up in California with Mexican food all the time. So what I'm saying is I also noticed that I pay a little over $15 for this burrito. Isn't this Montana? Why am I paying above California prices for this burrito? I get the same level of burrito and grilled meat flavorful and good for $13 and something change in California in an expensive city. So tonight, I was very disappointed. I got a burrito that had meat in it that was not prepared right that was bland in a soggy tortilla where it was like pulled chicken and it was barely edible. On top of everything I was overcharged. Let me think? In California people that would work in that restaurant would have medical benefits and get paid a minimum of $20 an hour. With that taking into account, the burrito is about $13.50 in California and it was prepared better. Is there some reason why this burrito was over $15? I was really shocked and I just don't understand it. I would never come back to this place again if I lived here. These are just my opinions and I'm being truthful and I'm not saying this. I'm not your competitor. I'm just somebody traveling through that has experiencing this type of food their whole life. There is much better out there and you gotta step up your game or you're gonna wind up going out of business like a lot of restaurants.

None left for my entree. I don't understand why you'd want to sour the experience with $3 for a spoon worth of salsa. In addition they don't have any other salsa option? Seems like canned tomatoes were used as well. I may be wrong. I would never gouge customer and potentially ruin the experience over a spoons worth of salsa served.

I'm vegetarian, so I went with the vegetarian burrito, and it was really good--fresh, tasty, and satisfying. What really stood out to me was the bean dip--absolutely delicious! If you visit this restaurant, do yourself a favor and order it. It was easily the highlight of the meal for me. The chips and salsa were also great--fresh, crispy chips and a tasty salsa with a nice kick. The only downside is that they don't offer queso, which was a bit of a letdown, but not a dealbreaker. Overall, solid experience and we'll definitely be back!
