This food is authentic Mexican and delicious. It is also inexpensive for what you get. You walk up and place your order and pay and they bring it out to you. The staff was super cheerful and friendly. I would give 5 stars but the bathroom was not clean at all. And not just from people using it that day. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time by the buildup of gross. :( read more

The service was very fast, the young lady at the register was very polite and knew the menu well. Coming from Southern California this is the most authentic Mexican food I can find in Idaho. read more

Tried this establishment for lunch during a week day and ordered a torta with carne asada. Very good and had the flavor I expected without even adding extra sauce. Meat was good. There is a salsa bar to fill up containers if you get it to go. Friendly and fast. I will come back. read more

This seems to be the go-to destination for Mexican food in all of Rigby, which makes me sad for that city because....yikes. They've got the divey thing going, which I often take as a sign of a hidden treasure restaurant, but unfortunately that is not the case here. It's just kind of dirty. As far as food goes, it is a poor approximation of one of my favorite cuisines. They do offer a large menu, but this means that our group of about 15 ordered many different things, all of which were mediocre to straight up bad. My husband and I arrived a little late, and while everyone else said they received their orders quickly, after 45 minutes we started to think we'd been forgotten. Our molcajete did eventually arrive, nearing an hour's wait. We had the choice of flour or corn tortillas and went with corn (very dry). The sauce was like runny, flavorless tomato salsa, where it is usually a tangy tomatillo base. The chicken was breast meat, and not particularly tender, but the steak was truly awful: super overcooked and tough. The refried beans and rice were both cold and bland. I will give it to them that portions are large and prices are cheap, but why pay anything for crummy food? read more

Not impressed. It was empty which should have been a warning. We spent $34 (including a$6 tip). I got a chicken chimichanga but it must have been all dark/thigh meat . I didn't see any white meat. Horchata was room temp, had to add lots of ice and it got watered down. Hubby ordered pork carnitas and it was ok. Onions and peppers were not sautéed enough (they were too crunchy). I didn't finish my drink so asked for a cup to go. They wanted to charge me 50 cents. I know, it's not much money, and they do have a sign posted, but really?!? I just spent $34. And if I had said it was to go you would have given me a paper cup. Also not impressed that the little girl who took our order/waited on us was playing with a fake nail which fell on the floor and then she picked it up and pushed it in her finger and THEN served us our food. Definitely won't eat here again PS. Also, the tortilla chips were stale and the 'salsa' tasted like canned tomato sauce read more

My wife and I absolutely love this place, there's not a lot of close competition in the nearby area. So when it comes to Mexican food, this does the best at trying to hit that spot. read more

My fiancé and I weren't expecting much from the outside, but when we walked in it felt like I was right back at an authentic Mexican Restaurant in my home town of San Diego. The young girl that took our order was really nice and super cute! My fiancé and I were served super quickly and both the cook and the cashier kept asking if everything was good and if we needed anything else. We both got different pork dishes and they were both delicious! We ate it all in one sitting. We also got the churros and they were super yummy!! We were also the only ones in the restaurant and we kept commenting that it almost felt like we were in a hallmark movie because of the Christmas Decor, lack of people, and how cozy the place felt. read more

Taqueria El Rancho - The churro order - Mexican Near Me - Rigby, Idaho

Nothing authentic about the food here. I hope there are better options for Mexican food nearby!! Ordered carneasada fries and have never been so disappointed. The menu is overwhelming. Saw the crinkle cut fries and the disappointment started to set in. I kept taking bites hoping it would get better... but it didnt. I'm not sure if the recipes have been altered to please the taste buds of Idahoans?? But it was no bueno. Would not return. Crossing my fingers and toes that there is hope for Mexican food here. read more

How dare you guys make a child looking no older than 9 years old work and take orders!!

Been a few times, I haven't ever had any problems with the orders being wrong or poor customer service. Its a great little place to get your taco fix;) read more

This is their third location that I know of. They have two others in Rexburg, a taco bus and a small restaurant like this one. GOOD authentic tasting Mexican food. So far I've only ate at their locations twice, but both times have been great. I had pork fajitas - very good. Talking with friends, this location has been fairly well packed since it opened about two weeks ago. We went on a Thursday night and it wasn't packed. Our order was taken quickly and I'll bet we had our food served to us in under 7 minutes. Very glad that something good was put in this location. We'll be eating here regularly. read more

We have gone here several times. The food is good but nothing special. We came from a state that had real Mexican food and this does not compare. For this area it is pretty decent. We will be back. Friendly people that own it. read more

A large menu to choose from, the food was tasty and the service was excellent and the price was very reasonable read more

Taqueria El Rancho - Order counter - Mexican Near Me - Rigby, Idaho

This Mexican food is very low quality. They don't do much to please the customer, rather they seem more concerned with getting the most money for the least effort. There are several Mexican places in Idaho Falls that are worth the drive to avoid this experience. read more

Excellent Hispanic food with great quality flavor and price. Come hungry because there portions are huge and can leave you with two meals for the price of one read more

Great food! Portions are definitely small for the price. (A comment I rarely make at restaurants since we aren't big eaters) Service was good but slow, like a fast food scene but with sit down nice restaurant times. But that means everything was hot and fresh! The red and green hot sauces are great. The chips and salsa you pay extra for, the chips were off.. half seemed stale and half seemed fresh, pretty sure we got a mix of old and new but the new were great. Oddly, the salsa was not spicy at all and I'm pretty sure they forgot the peppers on accident or they don't add any kind of peppers to their salsa, which is odd. It was just onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and tomatoes sauce and juice.. no peppers.. We will go again! Definitely beats driving into Rexburg or Idaho Falls so it's great that Rigby has a decent little Mexican food place. read more

This was good food and not expensive. The cashier on the other hand was rude. She seemed to be upset that I was asking about things. I am gluten free, and when I asked if something was gluten free she would roll her eyes at me and be in a huff to give an answer. She didn't have a big line of people behind us, so there was no reason to act like this. It wasn't busy and tables needed to be wiped down. But the food was ok. read more

It doesn't matter how good the food is. The cashier was an absolute bitch. I don't like giving bad reviews but this place deserves it for her. I hope the owner sees this. read more

Pretty good for small Rigby. When we went it it was packed no where to sit. By the time we ordered our food though few seats opened up. Service was nice friendly and easy. They were on top of getting those tables wiped down. Food time! Chips and salsa.. meh!! I'd say skip on these. The salsa is not my thing. Super chunky then the rest really runny. And pretty hot. I got 2 cheese enchiladas and they were pretty good. Came with beans and rice. My enchilada sauce was a little different then what I was use to but still good. Beans and rice great! Even came with little sour cream! Overall pretty good place! And if I came back in this area I'd go again. Mostly because the food was good but the prices!!! Wow!!! $5.00 for my plate of food. Can't beat that. read more

Misunderstood order by a 9 year old girl working at the restaurant was very confusing just wish there was someone older than 12 working:(

Very poor customer service. The young gal got my order wrong and when I brought it up to get it fixed to what I ordered (a meal with rice and beans) they tred to charge me for a whole side order of them instead of fixing it back to what I ordered. I have never left a bad review in my life, but I'm disappointed and I won't be back. read more

What happened to this place. I know the same family is still running it, I believe it is the brother. But he has sure cheapened the quality of everything. Including customer service. I would come here at least twice a week. Usually for the breakfast burritos and the street tacos and chip an salsa. Everything was on point. I have been recently disappointed and today was no different. I don't know why I go back. Maybe I'm hoping they realize Rigby is a small place and they would be wise to turn around this downward spiral. Until then I guess I'll be going to Fiesta Ole for my "Mexican" food because this place ain't doing it anymore. read more

Boy this place has gone down hill since the last time we ate here. Their prices have almost doubled yet the food and service have gotten worse. We won't be eating here again. It's sad that they can't seem to get any nice dine in restaurants in Rigby. read more

Pretty darn good Mexican food. We love the al Pastor chimichangas and tacos in particular. The only negative is that it takes forever to get your food. We called in our order at 5:45pm this last Thursday night, was told it would be 25 minutes before it was ready for pickup. My husband got there at 6:15pm and then sat for another 25 minutes before they finally had it done. But the place is always packed, so I guess that is the issue. Highly recommended though. read more

I have been a couple times now and have gotten the fajita plate as well as the carnitas tacos. both of which tasted yummy. Their pricing is very cheap, and it is a "hole-in-the-wall" type place, but has yummy cheap Mexican food. Pretty good lunch spot. read more

Came here with my family who said the food is good! Unfortunately the food was okay! Sorry from Texas so very picky! Salsa was no bueno! My family food was incorrect the beef in there enchiladas and tacos was stew meat not ground beef! read more

My dad and I came here for lunch. It is very very good food, especially for such a reasonable price! Their spicy pork torta was delicious and the burrito relleno was also very very good. Highly recommended! read more

The food was delicious- but the chicken was a little too salty. Still a good meal, and they have kids' meals, too! read more

Taqueria El Rancho - Front of restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Rigby, Idaho

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Try the street tacos, esp the carnitas. Also chips and salsa are separate (strange for Mexican) and the most expensive thing you get. The prices are great. read more

Vary disappointed in the quality of my food today ordered a chicken burrito and there was no chicken in it. All I got was rice and a little cheese and for 7 dollars I feel vary ripped off. Will never be back. read more

The food is great, service with a smile. The price is also great. Wood recommend it highly. read more

Truly tasty and authentic food. The only downside is the menu is a little tough to read. It's a very cheap and casual restaurant. Will keep coming here! read more

Holy guacamole...no pun intended. If you've read my other reviews, you know I love one major thing among others, and that's freshness! Everything here is prepped and cooked in-house. If that's not good enough, BAM, the $$$ is out of this world. $4 for a fat burrito. $5 sizeable plate of nachos. It's all like that! Simple lace where you can eat and go. Love it and go frequently. Do yourself a favor and get in there! read more

Top notch Mexican food, definitely worth the stop! I had an al pastor burrito which was great and very well priced. Fast and friendly service, clean and welcoming atmosphere. read more

My daughter says best quesadilla in Idaho by far, son in law loved his burrito. Excellent Mexican food, will become one of our favorites!

I had being a customer for over 5 years. i went yesterday for dinner and the cashier got my order wrong, then to fix it she told me i had to pay the difference on the food and i say why? is not my fault and she said yes i agree 100%, but you still need to pay the difference, and i asked foe the owner and i got a mexican lady all pissed off and talking crap about me, because apparently as a paying customer i mean nothing to her ans she claim to be the owner , i said where the owner?, she said the her aunt sold her the place, once again she was worse than the cashier. with a attitude and NOT a customer service. The food keeps going up in price and its not really worth it any more. I will never come back to this place. read more

So happy to have really Mexican food in Rigby. The staff is friendly and always welcoming. The beans are my favorite restaurant beans. Everything is good, and we eat there often. Just miss Californian Mexican food. Just not the same. read more

I have eaten here a couple times a week since they opened. The staff is friendly and the food is great! The prices are quite low and makes taking the family a no brainer. Absolutely love this place! read more

This is the best Mexican food in the area. First found this nice place in Rexburg where the atmosphere is better than Rigby, but food is the same. Rigby is great for take-out orders if you like great food. A screaming kid in a large family is usually the case inside and that is why this place is great. Families love it and expect just that. I love to see big families able to come and afford great food. Quality is very good. My favorite is bacon wrapped shrimp or shrimp Monterey. You'll end up very pleased with the food and efficient staff who I imagine works over 60 hours a week. So tip them well. They really appreciate it! read more

I usually love this placed but I'm a little pissed off that i waited in line, ordered, went to pay, then they said they don't take cards today. At least make a sign so I don't waste my time. I get that sometimes things go down but communicate when they do, not after some one orders. read more
