You may want to ask for a half size order if possible, unless you enjoy left overs, in which case, disregard. Recommend their Carnitas. They do have diet Coke, and Coke zero product. There is a bar, music and a big screen TV. There seems to be plenty of seating, although the seating may be a little uncomfortable, depending on the kind of chairs that you're used to sitting in. The chairs could use some cushions. Plenty of parking. We came on a Saturday night before 7:30 pm, there was no wait time and we were seated immediately. $56 after tip for two adults, but one of us only ordered a half portion. So it could easily approach $60-$65, after tip for a date night, with no alcoholic drink orders. Feels a tad pricey for Mexican food, but that's why I suggest asking if your order is half portion eligible.

We started with chips and salsa with an added queso dip. Good chips snd salsa. I had the Burrito la parilla. Steak burrito covered in cheese with rice and beans. Looked small but was packed with meat. It was flavorful and rice and beans were good as well. Wife had the Poblano. Unknown to her based on previous purchases at other restaurants this one was saturated in red sauce. It was ok but could have been better. She tried to scrap off some of the sauce but it's all she tasted. Unfortunately, she did not finish it. Another in our party had the Texas Fajitas which they said was pretty good. Overall 2 dishes good, 1 just to saturated to enjoy. 3.5-4 stars.

They close at 10:00 PM, and our group didn't even arrive until 10:15 PM due to traffic. Did they turn us away? Not at all. The staff welcomed us with patience and kindness, and the service was just as amazing as the food. Speaking of which--everything was delicious, shockingly affordable, and the portions were massive. Their menu is huge--I don't think a single Mexican dish was missing, and they even offer a la carte items. Even with such a large, late order, there were only two small mistakes, which is impressive. I wouldn't fault them at all. We didn't leave until almost 11:30, and even then, the staff was still smiling, saying thank you, come again, and just radiating hospitality. You could tell they truly care about their work and the restaurant. And let me mention how clean the place was--like, oddly clean. I saw a staff member cleaning each individual blind and then moving on to the windows. I've never seen that kind of detailed cleaning at closing time in any restaurant. Bonus: the artwork inside is vibrant and beautiful, adding even more charm to the experience. This was five-star service from start to finish. I'll absolutely be back.

I had the steak and pastor tacos. They were filling and very tasty(two corn tortillas, onions, cilantro, and the meat) and come with two salsas that make for a very modest price tag of 1.49 per taco that is much more nutritious than Tex-Mex. I now cry a little thinking about all the more expensive, fat-filled "steak" tacos I've had at Taco Bell. I also had some tasty fried tilapia(be warned, whole fish!) and my friend, the burrito. If you're used to fountain drinks, you won't find them here. But they do have a very wide variety of Jarritos(sp?) fruit drinks and Coke. I personally recommend the non-alcoholic Sangria. Decor-wise, I read a blog that quoted an adage, the worse a place looks, the better the food. This is true here. The sit-down restaurant part is very small and both the inside and out look clean, but bare-bones; if you repainted your concrete basement 8 years ago and put a tv, some tables, and some chairs, it'd be identical. There are definitely nicer looking taquerias, but that said, the taste isn't as good. While one location had 20 cent cheaper tacos, they were smaller. These were much better prepared. Additionally, the kitchen looked very clean from what I saw. With pricing, you're looking at paying 5.99-7.99+ for dinner meals. If you're looking for cheaper, you can buy 3 tacos for 4.50 total and be filled. 1.50 for most if not all drinks. The exciting part, the service is good and quick. If you go during low-peak hours, you may be the only customer there briefly, they can take your order immediately. One note: I purposely spoke in rough conversational Spanish and they spoke Spanish back(instead of not letting me practice like some places do). That said, I don't know if all the servers speak English or not. Don't be worried though, the menus have both languages and your server will understand fine anything uncomplicated for sure. All in all, Rancho Alegre, while looks aren't impressive, has the best authentic Mexican food I've had in town(I'm on a quest to try them all!), it's value-for-dollar is really good, and I'm very appreciative of the friendly staff and willingness to speak Spanish with my poor attempts. If you're craving authentic Mexican food, give it a shot! *it might be a little hard to locate. Basically it's right across the street from the Churches and Little Caesars off Tennessee Street.
