Good food Good service One of the better Mexican food restaurants in our area. Recommend it! read more

Common sense is not common here. They don't seem to realize that the employees kids aren't suppose to scream and cry in the lobby. They also seemed surprised when we were annoyed with slow service and a lack of communication. Solid food, solid prices (especially on alcohol) but there's definitely a gap in service compared to literally any other Mexican restaurant on planet earth. If you are friends with an employee at this restaurant however, please go here as often as you'd like as they are ecstatic to provide preferential service to them. read more

We sat for with no drinks just chips . Ordered fish tacos and they tasted like old fish. Finished our meal then we received our drinks.

I should've went with my first mind and ordered from another spot, but I work close to this one and decided to order pick up before heading to work. Waste of money. $24 on the Texas Fajita lunch combo and a medium cheese dip. My first Question is Where's the Flavor?? Tastes very watered down, like no seasoning on the meat AT ALL. The rice is HARD and also has no flavor. Let me also mention the possible Eyelash that was folded up in my tortilla shell.. if it's not an eyelash it's Definitely a hair from some other part of the body and doesn't belong to me. The one star is for the cheese dip because it was decent. I Will be calling to complain and will not be back here! read more

The food here is awesome. Everything I order is great. They have mild salsa at request for people who order French fries at a Mexican restaurant. Carnitas two can split this dish but the best thing I like to order is shrimp cocktail! Back again as always this is the favorite go to when we don't want to cook or just can't decide where to eat. They are like family here. read more

Service was good. Price very reasonable. Order was ready on time. Beer list needs to include NA beer

I had a very affordable and tasty lunch of the chicken taco salad. It was quick and fresh. I enjoyed the seasoning of the salsa and complimentary chips. My waiter was friendly and efficient and kept my water filled and dishes cleared. The restaurant is huge so not full even at lunchtime so was quick seating and service. I would prefer more seasoning in general and specifically in the refried beans and rice however overall was a tasty meal. read more

The food came out quick but was barely warm and had little flavor. Everything needed salt. The waiter made frequent mistakes and was not very friendly. The rice was extremely extremely bland. read more

The staff is super friendly, the food is always done quickly and correctly (even with specifications). It's easy to access right on the main road and their blue margaritas are amazing. Everything I've had here is good - although I highly recommend the fajitas. read more

El Rancho Poblano - Blue margarita - Mexican Near Me - Yorktown, Indiana

This restaurant is definitely one of the best around, if not the best. I drive half an hour almost every week just to get the amazing food. the arroz con pollo is amazing here. And I know the chimichanga is as well. read more

Chips and salsa served to the table quickly. Nice people and service. Great Margaritas ... dinner orders delivered promptly.

Another late dinner success in the Muncie area. Unfortunately I can't speak to anything beyond the Chili Poblano...This was a winner as poblanos are illusive creatures and finding one worth having again and again is not an easy achievement. Since the poblano was great, I would suspect the rest of the menu would be perfectly fine. Really good house margaritas. Great servers. I plan to be a frequent flyer. read more

Worst service I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. I never got chips and Salsa. First and last time coming here. I had to flag a bartender down at the bar to order. They didn't ask me if I wanted a menu. I had to ask twice for silverware and the guy I asked didn't speak any English, I had to ask to Pay the bill. They didn't even have it written up. Also I attended a white elephant gift exchange here for a group and I'm not sure but it got taken from our table because I left it by accident and the group I was with said they didn't see it so Merry Christmas. Hope you enjoy your "free gifts" that you aren't yours. The food was good but the service was awful. It doesn't even deserve 1 star...wow... read more

El Rancho is Extra Delicious! Is it worth the drive from Muncie or any surrounding area because it definitely beats it's competitors in the County. It's hard to stop eating the chips and salsa. The salsa is so fresh. Not overloaded with onions like most. Nice bits of cilantro to keep it zingy. Just the right amount of heat. We had.... Shrimp and Steak Fajitas---Super Awesome! Lots of steak and shrimp perfectly seasoned with an enormous plate of sides. Camarones Especial- Awesome! Plump juicy shrimp, huge fresh cuts of avocado, lots of lime to squeeze and loads of sides. Total winner! Enchilada with Pollo- excellent sauce. My mom loved this! Tamale with Pork-rockin' sauce with super juicy pork. A top shelf margarita and imported beer..... Price was an incredible value. The staff is friendly and attentIve. We will go back! Bet Rancho would be fun with a big group of friends too :) read more

Hometown establishment meets Mexican food. A staple in the Muncie community has been Puerta Vallarta. It is very good, but for my money going into a restaurant and having the folks know your name and really appreciate your business is invaluable. A family establishment who go above and beyond to make your visit a quality one. Chips and salsa are a given. Good beer selection. Full bar. The ability to have a quiet date night or a larger party on a moment's notice. Food is very good across the board. A large menu at reasonable prices. Eat local and enjoy your experience. read more

Better than most of the typical Mexican joints. What sets El Rancho Poblano apart is the tacos. Traditional street tacos in a variety of great flavors. Al pastor and chorizó are great! Fish tacos, burritos, chimis! Good chips and salsa! Good place to grab some good food! Enjoy read more

Overall good experience here. Went on a Monday night and had a big group. They accommodated a big table for us and everything. Took drink orders quickly. Food came out very quickly. I got Enchilada Verde and it was yummy. But portion for the price was off. It was about $11 and I got 3 small Enchiladas in corn tortillas and beans and rice on the side. Very little I feel compared to other Mexican food places. Also when we were finished with our meal we waited a very long time for to go boxes and our check which was a little big annoying. But overall a great authentic Mexican restaurant! read more

We popped in for after church lunch (ha), and were pleasantly surprised. I can't remember ever wanting to eat in Yorktown, but that's life. Sure, it's an old Dairy Queen, but the kitchen cranks out a full menu a la Puerto Vallarta, and probably seats 50. Decor is fresh and with all the requisite trappings of sombreros, taxidermy (?), Indian heads (?), and toy robots (!). Futbol on the TVs and a mix or Norteno and Mexican dubstep (que horible!) over the PA. Choices were pretty standard, but there seemed to be a few more regionally themed items - the Guadelajara, the Jalisco, etc. Still, the basic taco/burrito format prevails. Free chips were standard and refilled, fresh salsa was chunky and piquant. I ordered my favorite chilaquiles and for my luncheon date, carnitas enchiladas. They came out soon enough, and we were pleased with the presentation. The chilaquiles were not the soft tortillas, chicken, and cream sauce casserole I'd expected, but it was still very tasty. The enchiladas were awesome, pork was perfectly cooked, great green sauce, but maybe too many onions. The guacamole looked very fresh, with leafy cilantro and heaps of garlic, but was far too salty. The ubiquitous rice seemed like a holdover from this location's days as Bamboo Garden. Oh well. Everyone likes fried rice, am I rite? Service was super friendly, albeit a tad on the slow side. I didn't find a language barrier, but I hablo espanish. Rancho Poblano isn't the hole in the wall taqueria or tamale shack I'd love to have nearby, but it gets a B for serving ok Mex to gringos. Worth the drive from civilized Muncie. read more

Just opened. It took the place of the Bamboo House which took the place of the Dairy Queen. They have an extensive menu including the back page which is just the lunch menu. They have a full service bar. We experienced just a bit of a language barrier. My wife ordered the Poblano Taco Salad. What showed up wasn't even close to the description. First the waitress said she had not ordered the taco salad. That simply wasn't true as she ALWAYS orders the taco salad. The only way she would not order a taco salad would be if the establishment did not offer one. So after defending the fact that she did indeed order a taco salad, the waitress went to the cook, who then came out to the table to explain to her how to order from the menu. Always good to know! Eventually she received her taco salad, but it was way after the rest of us. Thirty two years of being married and now I find out she just learned how to read and order from a menu. Who knew? The food was good, and arrived hot. Two types of salsa for the chips, regular and mild. There might be a hot, but those days are behind me now. I sincerely hope the restaurant makes it. It seems like an odd venue for a restaurant with such an extensive menu. Prices are on the high side for Yorktown, IN. Lunch specials went for 5.29 for the Speedy Gonzales to 8.99 for the Steak Fajitas. Dinner prices 10 to 15 dollars. read more

Our favorite place to go for Mexican food. Salsa is the best around. Staff is friendly.

Okay, I am giving them 5 stars, technically it is 4 but I what I really want folks to know is that this is the best Mexican cuisine in the greater Muncie/Yorktown area. This area is typically such a wasteland when it comes to fresh and delicious Mexican food. But El Rancho Poblano gives me hope. I lived in California for 12 years and was spoiled at the quality but I don't want to give up eating Mexican food so I try all of the restaurants and this one fills the bill. I have thoroughly enjoyed their fajitas and margaritas. Their food is so much more inspired than anything in Muncie. The quality of food, the diverse menu, the care and presentation is all very nice. Just writing this makes me want to go there for lunch today. Maybe I will. read more

I love this restaurant because it is a very good local place to eat wonderful food. The people are so nice and the food is so delicious. They also have many options of beverages and food. read more

It was Very Good food at the next door facility, the move, next door, makes it a much more spacious restaurant. The food has always been very good, as is the atmosphere, cordial servers, & prices. They serve the "chips & salsa" when we're seated, which makes it a great experience, from the start. read more

It was dark and there were no parking lot lights. Salsa was good. Service getting our food order was a bit slow. But our hostess took our drink order and drinks came quickly. Waitress was very dry and never smiled. Didn't ask if we wanted chicken or beef or rice or beans. Food came and we had no silverware. Food was pretty good. Fajitas size was generous. Had to ask for drink refills. Did not offer more chips or salsa when it was empty. Had to ask for more tortillas for fajitas twice. Waitress struggled with English. read more

Our family comes here all the time! It is so good. Friendly service and even better food. My favorite is the Arroz con Pollo. I order it so much that they know that's what I want when I walk in the door! This is by far the best Mexican Restaurant in Delaware County. (Best salsa too!) read more

Great place! The food was delicious and there was lots of it! Staff was very friendly and accomodating. The only negative is that the open ceiling makes it hard to carry on conversation without yelling. However, the food and service made up for it. Will definitely go back for more! read more

Such fantastic, authentic Mexican food and exceptional, fast service. I have never had a bad experience here. The prices are very reasonable and I am always able to walk in and be seated right away. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

We eat here about once a week and the food is absolutely delicious. Have never had a better taco salad or quesadilla anywhere else. I am from SoCal so good Mexican food is a real find here! read more

We stopped in in the way back to Indy. Some of the best Mexican food we have ever had

The new location looks great! The food is delicious as are the margaritas! I got quick friendly service and can't wait to return.

Love that it's a thriving local business. New space is much cleaner. Prices are higher than nearby competitors, but worth it to not drive into town. Staff are friendly. Food is consistently good. Large portions. read more

Omg! So excited that this place is back! The new space is great. Love the pork! That's all I have to say about that!

This place is amazing! Food was extremely flavorful and the menu has a lot of options you can't find at the other Mexican restaurants. I would recommend it to anyone- I can't wait to go back! read more

I had dinner at El Rancho Poblano this evening with my husband and son. We were all very impressed. The salsa was nicely flavored with fresh cilantro. The chicken and pork in our tacos and enchiladas were moist, tender, and flavorful. The meat was higher quality than other local Mexican restaurants. The enchilada sauces had rich, homemade flavors. Our son enjoyed his Margarita and my husband and I appreciated the very generous wine pours. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

Horrible food, margaritas, and service. Also, the women's bathroom was locked/out of service. When I asked about it, the manager blew me off. Very sketch place!!! read more

I would give more than 5 stars if possible. Great food, great service! Why would I ever drive to Muncie when the best is right here in Yorktown!!?? read more

Was a little hesitant the first time, as it is in a place that two restaurants have closed in the past few years. We were very pleasantly surprised, and have visited many times since then. The salsa is supper fresh and yummy, and as mentioned by others, they have interesting (and good) stuff on the menu. Fast, friendly service. Would highly recommend. We haven't been to Puerta since we first went here. read more

Our Texan relatives were highly impressed. Having been served authentic Mexican food at migrant camps, I think it is the best Mexican cuisine in the area. I have never been disappointed by anything I have tried there. I often share with my meal because the portions are large. read more

I do like the chips and salsa and some of their food is just okay. I don't eat their chicken anymore - my experience is it is always very dry and plain. I have had very bad and sometimes very slow service. I have not been there in a while because last time I was there the server got argumentative - I asked for a margarita frozen and he brought it on the rocks than acted like I was inconveniencing him and had an attitude. I try NOT to go here anymore, but the location is so close to my kids school and sports. read more
