★★★☆☆ 3.0 Season McPeek · Feb 2026

Having an overall score of 4.3 seems a little hard to believe - unless you never ordered drinks. If this was a review strictly drink related, I would take all of the stars, put those stars in a box, put that box inside a box, mail it to myself, and then smash it with a hammer. I ordered a water...first mistake - the second was taking a sip. The taste was like nothing I have ever experienced...if you have ever wondered what the smell of sewage tastes like, please order the water. I thought that maybe I was wrong, so I went for one more sip to make sure...3 strikes I am out. When the server comes back, I ask for a Sprite...you can't go wrong with a fountain drink, right?? WRONG! Pretty certain they have a secret sewer room that houses each refreshment in its own personal port-a-potty,

Ranchero Grande is always, always a go to place for locals & travelers passing through | They offer several different types of food besides the traditional Mexican cuisine | Fried chicken strips, seafood ( which is also great & my favorite ) grilled shrimp etc. Carmen & everybody who belongs to the Ranchero Grande family here are always super helpful, kind & deliver great dining service whether your eating alone, as a couple or with a party of guests & even the order by phone & pickup service is great. | If you haven’t tried Ranchero Grande, whenever you have the chance, go see them.

This place is so good. We eat there at least once a week. Doesn't matter what you order it's super delicious. Staff is great. Food served to you fast. I left my phone in there and they went out of their way to make sure I got it back.
