This place is MUY BUENO! The statue of the horseman outside is an excellent welcome sign to come on in! The atmosphere inside is just as attractive. You'll have to see it for yourself it's just very nice. The food came out really quickly and you don't feel as if the waitress is hovering over you. The food is very good. I'd say the rice was my favorite part. Definitely check it out!! read more

Los Rancheros - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Illinois

Great food at a nice location. Service was quick and food looked like the menu ;-) Overall this place probably has very little competition in the area. Didn't try the drinks so maybe next time read more

Yes amazing menu, low price and great service !! I order the fajitas, and was very impressed with the big size of the plate and all the delicious flavors the fajitas had - Something to try ! Love it !!! read more

Traveling often, this is good Mexican food. The steak/chicken/shrimp fajitas were good, the tilapia fish tacos were yum (not a fish stick disguised as fish in sight!), and the birria were great! When in the area again, I'll be visiting again. read more

Los Rancheros - Sunrise Quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Illinois

So unexpected! I ordered the burrito San Jose and it was HUGE! Packed with flavor and smothered in cheesy goodness. Add a side of queso dip and it's an amazing meal. I ordered through the drive through and they were quick and I'm just in awe at the size of this thing! read more

Los Rancheros - a pan of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Illinois

Friends love it here and it's acceptable, but there are two other Mexican places in town that are superior to this. Always clean and great service, just not my favorite. read more

This Mexican Restaurant is very authentic, the portions are large, and the food was delicious. We have been stationed overseas in the military and have not had access to good Mexican food in a while. We appreciate rancheros more than normal. My kids loved their kids meals. The drinks were tasty. Service was excellent & timely. read more

Terrible service waited extremely long for our food and had to ask for our drinks wouldn't recommend to anyone

We stopped for a quick bite to eat on our way to upper Wisconsin. Food was flavorful, and nice portions given. There were many options on the menu I hadn't seen from our local Mexican restaurants. The house salsa was good, but even better mixed with the spicy salsa. I would like to go back and try a few other things as well! read more

I like going to mexican restaurants to have margaritas and enjoy the chips and salsa. The last 3 times I've been there they have 0 tequila in the margaritas and last night the margaritas we ordered tasted like water! I finally went up to the bar and they said to just "order something else". The service last night was also horrid as we waited over an hour and a half to get our food and the place was not packed at all. Absolutely terrible excuse for a mexican restaurant and I would recommend any other restaurant in town is worth your money over this place. read more

Great tasting food. Got the steak fajitas. The meat was seasoned deliciously. Good service though they were busy.

This was our first time to this location, we frequent the newer Litchfield IL location weekly and it's excellent now that they have the kinks worked out that most new restaurants experience so we were a little disappointed with this place, the service was slow and the food was not up to par with the location we frequent. It's was good but not average for most Mexican restaurants. read more

It ain't no little mexico, but the rumbling was there for the first time. I love me a beef taco, but their queso was excellent! It was what shot out of me like a squirt gun as soon as I got home! Would really recommend los and their queso! Just be ready to leave early... read more

The best taquitos I've had since Del Rio in 2005. I've been searching for this taste since then. Plus the margarita were only $1.99. It could have used a little more tequila, but what do you expect for $2.00. The service was also excellent. This is a must see if you are in Jacksonville, Illinois! read more

I just drove into Jacksonville and saw this big billboard as the best Mexican food so thought I would try it out. I was welcomed when I came in and sat at the bar. Service was very attentive and I had a good Lime Margarita to start. Chips were hot and salsa was okay. Ordered the Guacamole appetizer which was okay but could be spicier. Ordered the Tilapia platter with shrimp and it was very good, could use a bit of spice. Overall, great place, affordable and good drinks. I did not eat in the dining room and did not experience poor service. Check them out. Not 5 stars as there is no way Jacksonville Mexican food is at the S Cal level given proximity. Overall it's very good and I am happy. The bar area is fun. read more

Los Rancheros - Tilapia and shrimp platter with vegetables and tortillas - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Illinois

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area by far. The service as outstanding. The food was plentiful and really good... Will definitely be coming back. . read more

I've never seen a quesadilla quite like this before... super gross... literally slid out of my hands every time I went to take a bite. Closer to a soft-shell taco covered in some sort of mysterious milky liquid. Thanks, but no... noooooo read more

Los Rancheros - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Illinois

Multiple times now we have received margaritas that don't have tequila in them and/or are very watered down. Last night we sent a drink back because it tasted just like water with food coloring in it and instead of making us another one the bar tender and manager were very rude and just told us to order something else. When we go out to eat for Mexican we don't want something else we want margaritas which I don't think is too much to ask. On top of the terrible drinks we waited over an hour for our food. We would have stayed and drank for a long time but the whole experience was terrible and this isn't the first time it happened read more

Decent food, good service and reasonably priced. It's not the best or the worst, just average. The shrimp enchiladas were good, rice and beans didn't seem homemade. read more

Service was a joke. Waiter walked away when asked what was on tap came back and told us 3 beers. I asked for a side of guacamole since I got less than a table spoon on my side for my fajitas (apparently that's enough for 3 fajitas) and I got charged 5 bucks and is was already turning brown when brought to the table. Horrible service and below average food. read more

Stopped by with soccer team between games. Big group. Service was a little slow, but food was pretty good. Food was brought out at the same time and was filling. Chips were fresh and salsa was good. Overall good meal. Had kids menu (drinks included) and portions were pretty big. read more

Los Rancheros - Traditional fajitas AFTER filling two flour tortillas! - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Illinois

The last time I was at Los Rancheros, the service was pretty bad. It took our server a long time to take our orders, notice that we needed refills, etc. The food is pretty good and the prices are, too. This is pretty much the go-to Mexican place in Jacksonville. read more

Used to be good. You can order the same thing every time and will get a variation of it. Not consistent on food or drinks

The margaritas were fabulous and only $1.99 on Wednesday and happy hour m-f 4p-6p. The staff was friendly and very prompt! I would recommend arros con pollo. read more

Amazing food and everyone working was so welcoming! All the waiters are very friendly, and we had a great time when I went!

Always delicious! I especially love to get take out! Great service and delicious food

Twice in a row on now my food has tasted horrible and the service was awful, never refilled our drinks, didn't get the order right, and we were served our food and the server completely ignored us until we had to get her attention to get a check and leave. 10/10 do not recommend read more

This was the worst Mexican food I have EVER eaten!!! The chicken quesadilla was something outta a horror movie. My chicken nachos was so disgusting my 8 year old daughter could of made it better. When asked for sour cream the bus boy brought it with his fingers in my sour cream!!! I couldn't believe it!!!! My mother has been up all night with severe cramps and diarrhea!!! PLEASE DO NOT go to this restaurant!!!! read more

Tried to give it another chance but no luck and no better... The service was horribly slow and I had fajitas that we way over cooked... Not a good experience again and would not recommend this place... read more

Great food, nice atmosphere, good margaritas. Service can be a bit slow, but the servers are always friendly. Los Rancheros definitely doesn't deserve the 1-star ratings that some have given it. read more

Went here a month ago. Just moved to jacksonville, was looking for a good Mexican restaurant. .. The place looks good on the inside but that was about it. Food was served cold. Rice not even cooked all the way, extremely crunchy. took two bites and had to spit it out. I'd rather go to taco bell. read more

I've been here a couple of times. The food is not the best Mexican food you can have. The chicken is like the chicken you get at Chinese food restaurants. The service is good. The food comes out fast but it's hit an miss if you need something extra in the middle of your meal. It's too expensive for the quality. But the food is good usually and the service is nice. read more

Maybe not the best Mexican ever, but the food was tasty and plentiful. Good beans and rice. The salsa had a little kick. Fresh chips. Waiter checked on me 3 times. I would give 4 stars f they made their own tortillas. read more

This place is awful. We made a reservation ahead of time and still had to wait 2 hours for our food. When we asked the manager what was going on, he ignored us and continued to text with his friends that were also in the restaurant. Once we did receive our food, it was cold. Don't waste your time!! read more

The water tasted like dish soap and the sprite tasted like terrible sparkling water. Service was nice though and people there are friendly. Food tasted okay and not bad it was just the drinks read more

adelina is the absolute worst server ive ever encountered. she took forever to bring us our cheese sauce and then never brought out my boyfriends food so we had to ask another server. and then she switched our checks and charged our cards before we realized. lets just say she didnt get a tip. read more

Although they were not very busy, we waited at least 5 minutes to be seated. When they took us to a table, there was a turbo-fan sitting on the floor next to it, blowing directly on us. As we were discussing moving to another table, a waiter set up a folding stand behind my chair, placed a large tray of food on it, and it collapsed, sending hot fajita ingredients all over my leg and foot. I grabbed a paper napkin, dipped it in my water, and applied to the burned spot on my leg. When staff came with a broom to clean up the food, they told us, quite rudely, to move so they could clean the floor. We went to the next table, where one of the people sweeping up the mess asked if I was OK. I said "No, I am burned. And I could use a towel to clean up my leg and shoe." He replied "Oh, sorry." When they brought our food, I asked to talk with a manager. No one ever came to talk with me, and the entire staff seemed to be avoiding our table. When they brought the bill, I asked again to speak with a manager and was told no one was available. There was no adjustment to the bill, no manager available. I eventually paid my bill and left. As for the food, it was average. If you are looking for great mexican food, this is not the place. If you are looking for "ok" food, then give it a try. read more
