★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Bianca Jacquard · Feb 2026

The food here is absolutely disgusting. My childrens cheese burgers fries and chicken tenders looked more appetizing than my meal and even then the burger was poorly cooked with lots of pink in it and not even seasoned. I ordered chille rellano and what the heck is this! This is not what chilli rellano is. All of our food was poorly thrown together, served room temperature and flavorless. The service felt rushed from the moment we got in, there was only 1 other table occupied so they were not busy. Everyone was sitting around. So why rush us in and out? Maybe spend a little more time prepping and cooking food rather than rushing people around.

It is good Mexican food. Authentic, yes. But different. I don't know how to describe it either. Would I go there again, maybe. The people I was with absolutely loved it tho. I will say the chips they serve you with the salsa are dynamite.

This is by far the most delicious Mexican food I’ve ever had in a restaurant I glad i found this place. We make the hour trip from Omaha NE Pretty much every two weeks just to eat there I 100% recommend this place and service is always great

I’m out in Iowa from Denver about twice a quarter, and I always make sure Rancho Grande is a stop when we’re in Atlantic! This place is so good! The chips and salsa are fire, and the beans with cheese are better than most restaurants I go to at home. I go for the carne asada tacos on corn tortillas. If you like heat like I do, ask for the hot sauce! I tend to stick with tacos, but I’ve done the enchilada and tamale combo before too, also great. You really can’t go wrong with anything here. Everyone who works here is just super nice. They also carry Coke products, and the Diet Coke is perfectly crispy! Service is super quick. No waiting, food comes out fast. Perfect for a quick work lunch. I love this place and start looking forward to it the second I get on the plane. See you next ti

★★★★★ 5.0 Brittany Waters · May 2025

This is the BEST Mexican food I have found since moving to this state five years or so ago. My best friend's husband is from Mexico, he’s a professional Mexican Chef. Makes THE best food, this is the first time I’ve had food like his. The cactus was amazing! Like I can’t say enough positive things about their fresh authentic food! ♥️
