Very warm and sincere greeting. I ordered the chile relleno combination. The Mexican rice with this was very flavorful and delicious. The refried beans were pretty good. The chile relleno was mild and cheesy, not superb, but nothing bad about it. The service, like the initial greeting, was customer-focused and our food was on our table very quickly. read more

I have been here a couple times and plan on visiting again. I have gone when it was slow and when it was busy. Either way, the service is okay. The good is overall good. I would definitely recommend checking it out. ....... ... .. .. read more

We came here for dinner with my sister and her husband! We lived the outside patio area with great views of Ridgefield! The food was good- nothing like the super authentic Mexican food we have had for 20 years in Arizona- but, was nicely prepared and we enjoyed the company!! read more

Their food is yummy. Traditional Tex mex or Americanized Mexican food. Love the space and outdoor area. Food is yummy. I feel like if they could get their margaritas right as they come out as neon green like fake Margie drink. If they could take a better more natural margarita it would be awesome. read more

A nice, family restaurant when we visit Ridgefield on a Sunday drive. Restaurant is cozy and food is great Mexican! I'm giving 4 stars because tortilla chips are not homemade. The salsa was homemade and had a nice kick without being too spicy for my family, who have delicate stomachs. I like to support family-owned restaurants when I can. read more

Super friendly and quick service! Family owned restaurant that went above and beyond. Food was phenomenal and you could really taste the love and authenticity that went into it. Ambiance was great very reminiscent of genuine Mexican owned themes back in SoCal and Mexico itself, great lighting. Will definitely be back and recommend it if you're on the fence! read more

We were heading back on side road and came across this place. It had outdoor seating and is dog friendly. We grabbed a table and the waitstaff came out after a bit and got our drink order. We ordered 2 shots of Patron Silver and it was not a standard shot glass size and price was extremely high. We just got an appetizer to share and desserts. Neither were what we had expected (cheesecake was frozen, etc) service was okay but as we were outside it wasn't like it would be I'm sure if we had sat inside. Give it a shot - you may have a different experience. read more

I'm glad we stopped in here. This was a very good dining experience. First off, the service is great. They definitely work hard to take care of their customers. Our food order was taken quickly and we didn't have to wait long for the food. I had a plain (not the seafood) Chile Rellenos. It was cooked well and the cheese blend was good. I got it with the rice and bean. There was a lot of rice and beans! They almost hid my Chile! Everything tasted pretty good. I'd definitely come back! Good location, good food, great service! read more

I've visited this restaurant for lunch recently and found them to have a good menu selection and was a clean establishment. The service was also very good and I enjoyed the salsa that they serve with the chips. I ordered the Carne Asada steak dinner from their dinner menu as the menu they provided to me for lunch didn't have it listed. My reasoning for three stars is that although the food was good, the Kearny Asada lacked flavor and it may be because I ordered it at lunch. Perhaps it wasn't marinated since it was on the dinner menu. In either case, it was still a decent meal. I will plan to visit them again for dinner and try to Kearny Asada in hopes that that was only one experience .. read more

El Rancho Viejo - a dining room with a mural on the wall - Mexican Near Me - Ridgefield, Washington

Been here a few times now and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. The service has always been really great but the food has varied across my visits here. There's been a couple times I've found it to be pretty good and then other times I wasn't a huge fan. The prices are also pretty high, in my opinion. read more

Authentic delicious Mexican food. Friendly staff. We've been here 3 times and we've tried different items on the menu. You can't go wrong, they're fresh. Local restaurant in quaint downtown Ridgefield. read more

I so want this place to succeed as its local but after a number of visits over two years I just have to call it how it is....bad Mexican food. Its also very proud price wise and service is hit or miss. With a short drive and you can have 10x better Mexican in Hazel Dell or downtown Vancouver and I highly suggest you go that route vs. being disappointed here. I cannot believe how this place has a 4 star review at the time of this writing, its the biggest injustice I have seen on Yelp. read more

Service was great but food was not it. I ordered shredded beef nachos and my husband ordered beef chimichangas and we were both super unimpressed I know margarita factory may be more of a chain, however paying margarita factory prices for way less than was disappointing... I don't think there will be a second time just based on food quality. Staff are great very homee read more

Food was bland and overpriced. The drinks are actually disgusting. And the restaurant needs serious updating. It's old and the carpet looks like it has more flavor than their food. Never going back. read more

Great place for authentic Mexican. Staff is friendly and quick to take your order. Food was delicious. We visit about once a year and it is always good. Great outdoor seating, too! read more

We always try to get into this location when we visit the area. This is one of the best restaurants in downtown Ridgefield WA. Thanks for the awesome service, excellent food and attention from the entire team. We recommend this establishment to everyone! read more

This is a nice restaurant with good table service. Staff is super friendly, but the food is just average in comparison to what we've had in California. read more

Weeknight service was prompt and attentive, food came out fast, and everything was hot and tasty. My husband declared that his arroz con pollo was some of the best he's had in the area and I was pleased with the sizzling hot shrimp fajitas. He had a classic margarita on the rocks and rated it as good...but maybe heavy on the marg mix. All in all a solid north county option. read more

Service was ok. Pinto beans dried out. Rice was bland. Chicken chalupa was bland. Chicken chimichanga was good. Added a shot to margaritas to help them. Syrupy marg mix. Prices and atmosphere were ok. Will look for better Mexican food. read more

Nope! Barf! Nice people just not good food. Or good drinks. Make the drive and get more quality Mexican. Looking forward to margarita factory coming to town shortly. Time for ridgefield freshen up with some quality food as the town grows into a more expensive and high expectations town. If you want cocktails made from a bottle with cheap spirits and nasty ground beef. This place is a gem. read more

Scrumptious food! I had the chicken carnitas and my husband had the chicken enchiladas. The chips that came out first were hot and delicious. My plate had guacamole...yummy! read more

We were hungry for Mexican food close to me and looked at yelp and decided to try here. We were so glad we did. Excellent chips and salsa. Really enjoyed their chicken chimichanga , rice and beans. It was enough for my husband and I to share for lunch. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. We have been back twice after our first visit. Nice sitting outside also. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place!!! Always HUGE portions for the money and delicious authentic taste!! Would always do the drive to eat here, not to mention the staff is amazing!! They really go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of and satisfied with your meal. HIGHLY recommend, I would add more stars if I could read more

Pretty solid. I'd say probably it's the best Mexican joint in battle ground that I've had. Salsa will burn your face off. Enchiladas were busting read more

Terrible service, terrible drinks and food! No wonder we were the only ones in on a Saturday afternoon!

LOVE!!! Best Mexican restaurant I've ever been too. Service is awesome - lovely staff, very attentive and personable. The food is perfect!!! Thank you El Rancho Viejo for awesome experience. Will be back for sure and probably a regular customer now!!! read more

The people are amazing and the food is even better. Also chips and beans are a nine out of 10 and the fajitas are some of the best I've ever had don't sleep on this location read more

We love the fajitas and the chicken taquitos! We also love that it's walking distance from the house. We didn't care for the super burrito or the taco salad but glad we gave some of their other dishes a shot! This is a regular stop for us and their chips and salsa are super good too. read more

Gringo Mexican. Flavorful, could use more spicy heat. That said, salsa verde and salsa were tasty and they have the thin crispy salty chips of your dreams. Chile Verde was a good pork and green chili dish, but not as hot spicy as we like it. Fajita beef was a so so cut and sliced thin, but nicely seasoned and came out sizzling hot and carmelized. The refried beans with cheese and Spanish rice are just like when you were a kid. The fish is frozen from elsewhere. The owner and his daughter were very nice, and seemed to know the locals. You get the sense that over the decades they have been in business, they evolved to cook to please the mild palate of picturesque Ridgefield. Charming/kitschy ranchero decor inside and a few outdoor seats as well. Good for kids. Serves margaritas and beer. All in all, solid. 3 1/2 stars. read more

After a nice day kayaking, we were hungry. We stopped here for a late lunch. The staff were friendly. The murals on the wall and great decor had a nice latin western theme. A nice place. The food was good. We shared Arroz Con Pollo, which was more than enough for 2. My wife enjoyed a mixed margarita. The kids had american food that was just fine. I wouldn't say the food was the absolute best mexican I have had, but it was great. Ridgefield is a small town, and you will not be disappointed stopping here. read more

We moved here about 6 months ago and this was our first visit to this cute little "downtown" restaurant. The place was clean, the staff is friendly and the food is REALLY GOOD! I ordered the Seafood Stuffed Chilli Relleno and about died because it was SO YUMMY! My daughter ordered the Seafood Chimicanga and like my dish it was STUFFED FULL of fresh dungeness crap, large bay scallops and shrimp! My son got the taco salad that came in a HUGE freshly fried shell and my husbands Super Burrito was GIGANTIC! Only and I mean ONLY downer is that you only get one bowl of free chips, but that seems to be the norm around here. Over all, great place! Is highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere! read more
