I have to brag on Tres Caminos staff. We've been coming here more regularly lately, and every time…read morewe do, almost every one of the staff is so sweet to our 14-month-old son. Servers will come by and tousle his hair, say hello, wave to him, they are just genuinely so sweet and kind; it makes our day. And they are busy too! So it means even more that they make the time to treat us like family. The food is some of the best in the area, the place is always busy, and who doesn't love a margarita? It does get loud, but I've never had trouble hearing my meal partner. We will keep coming back!

After being a patron of this restaurant for over 5 years, both me and my family visit almost…read moreweekly, but for the first time ever me and my sister were discriminated against. This night the restaurant wasn't incredibly busy yet we waited nearly 15 minutes and were never greeted, given an update on service, provided water or anything. After sitting there for some time, we continued to chat, another table arrived, sat and just minutes after, they were greeted, offered drinks and were able to put in their order. During this entire time the waiter "Noe" maintained constant moments of eye contact, making me think he was arriving soon, but that never happened. I'm not sure if this was his attempt at trying to antagonize us or what but he kept smirking when looking over and even did so again when we expressed our disappointment in his neglect which appeared racially motivated. I guess he thought it was funny, but that sort of behavior and that level of blatant ignorance and disrespect certainly isn't.

I let him know I and then he brought me some refried beans which looked like they've been refried and added about 5 gallons of water to them so they were drinkable refried beans, very grotesque

We visited on a Thursday evening and were happy that there was no wait to be seated. The restaurant…read morehas a fun tropical theme with lots of bright colors that give it a welcoming atmosphere. The dining room did look like it could use a bit of a refresh in places, but it wasn't anything that took away from our meal. We started with the cheese dip, which had a nice consistency but was a little lacking in flavor. The chips were on the thicker side and tasted a bit stale. I also ordered a horchata, which unfortunately was disappointing. It was very watery and didn't have the rich, creamy flavor I was expecting. For my main dish, I had the choripollo, and I really enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked well, and the combination of flavors was delicious. I just wish it had a little more spice. My husband wasn't a fan of his meal, although he's a pretty picky eater, so your experience may be different. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made for a pleasant dining experience. While there were a few things that could be improved, I still enjoyed my meal overall and would consider coming back to try some other menu items.

The outside of the building is absolutely stunning with great art and decorations if it was so cold…read moreI would have eaten out here. The inside was very claustrophobic with tables all mashed together forcing you to sit shoulder to shoulder with the people around you. I ordered the torta with French fries cause I like to get a traditional Mexican dish but with an Americanized item too, I'm also a certified torta pounder. It wasn't too pricy but also not too cheap around 15 for the sandwich which tends to be around the average. Service wasn't to amazing got the order in fast and out but was forced to order the appetizer with my meal, and didn't get a refill of water until after I had already ate. I would definitely recommend as a place to eat but not necessarily the best. Personally I would wait for the summer just to eat outside. Last picture is proof of my certification.

There are so many Mexican restaurants in the Metro East that are just sad (not tasty/inauthentic)…read more Not so with Tienda El Ranchito! Before today, the only Mexican places I've actually enjoyed in over a year living in the area are Frida's in Fairview Heights and Agavero in Collinsville, and honestly, Agavero is just okay. Visiting Tienda El Ranchito today was a breath of fresh air and I'll definitely be back! Their salsa is more of a pico de gallo with a slight bit of heat from de-seeded jalapeños, but it was delicious. I had the al pastor and chicken tacos, with rice and beans, and my spouse had the carnitas, and all were great. Their beverage cups are large, which is nice, and the service was fast and friendly. Be aware, their main sign at the road is currently broken/missing anything that says their name. The front of the premises when you first walk in the door is actually a grocery store - the restaurant is in the back. Also, as many area restaurants do, they have an additional charge to pay with a credit card. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

The service was friendly but our server made errors with the order and didn't ask to fix them or check on us . The food came with rice and beans , both of which were "DELISH".

The check was very very reasonable so definitely value for money . The store looked great and wish we had time to shop .

I recently ordered takeout from Tres Caminos and was very unhappy with the food, service and condition of the restaurant. My chicken taco salad was dismal: the chicken was shredded and looked and tasted dry. It was a very small serving, and the bill was More than $12.00 - more than posted on the online menu. The other item, enchiladas verdes, was a tiny serving, only one enchilada, not three as listed on the online menu. Why so stingy?? The total bill was $48.00 - wrong price and way overcharged! No beverage, no side sauces, nada! The fellow at the counter offered no explanation, and quickly looked away. The whole place was a mess - old and tired looking. I notice that your place is popular And I'm surprised. It seems like folks have gotten use to mediocre food, high prices and rundown environment. It must be the margaritas...
