The place is about a mile from where we are staying on highway 98 Upon entering the establishment you can see that they have spent money bringing a lot of mexican paraphernalia to make it look very festive and welcoming. TVs all around playing different channels, from news to sports and everything in between but not really a sports bar because they won't play PPV. Happy place and well managed because we weee seated right away. We were one of the first guests and people kept coming Service was efficient and courteous and as far as doing the job quickly our server went above and beyond Salsa was very mild and mostly tomatoes, maybe from a number 10 can not even doctored up but just ok for the good chips if you have worked up an appetite before getting here like I did today The Carnitas came in a large very heavy plate that made it look like there was a lot of food but it was only appearance because the portion was about the same as other mexican restaurants, flavor was good because they had been roasted with onions but the chunks of meat were smaller than other places I have been. Can't say much about the beans, if you didn't know the beans come in a number 10 can and all mexican restaurants serve the same, none make it from scratch, rice was lukewarm. All in all it was a good experience but not good enough to make us come back in the next two weeks before we go back home, might give it another shot next year but will pay cash because 3.99 % for cc is a bit excessive read more

first time coming to this location and our experience was great! it wasn't too busy on a saturday late afternoon. there was a soccer game going on and the workers were mainly watching that so it took a minute to get a table. once we got seated, we immediately got chips and salsa which was great. for entrees we got arroz con pollo and i got steak. the steak was cooked well when i asked for medium but it was still very juicy. rice was okay and the beans were good too. our service was good but not great. again, there was a soccer game going on and everyone was interested in that. i'd still come back in the future to try other items on the menu. read more

Food was bland. I repeated my order three- 4x. Simple order. It still came out wrong. Two other orders of our five were wrong or missing items. Chicken fajitas were bland. Salsa was bland. Server acted annoyed when we asked for the flour tortillas we ordered with our fajitas-the ones he asked me to repeat 3 times. Clean restaurant. Decent speed of service but I would never ever return. read more

We came here for dinner. The ambiance and service were great but the food was just ok. We ordered Chicken fajitas w/ rice and beans and a grilled chicken w/ rice and beans. The chips and salsa were good. I don't recommend ordering the Fried ice cream. It was terrible. It tasted like they had fried it in advance and then refroze it. read more

Zero service! Even after asking for a Dr. Pepper and a water. Waited over 15 minutes and left!

A little bit of everything...spinach quesadillas were swimming in grease, server unpleasant and music was an endless repetitive club beat. Never going back read more

How would i rate my experience? I have of a loss of words i wouldnt even know where to start service was horrible absolutely horrible i waited almost 25 minutes to receive a to go box and also another 20 minutes to receive a item i had ordered off the menu. And the food ? It looked absolutely horrible it looks like some one put a pice of s*** straight out the toilet bowl and put it on your plate ive seen better homeless bums cook meth better then these so called chef's if i was to get back there in the kitchen im sure i could cook something way better matter fact i could run this whole place by myself so why is it so god damn hard to just cater to my table read more

Great service and food! We loved the lunch specials and the salsa is probably one of the best I have had. A lot of flavor and the restaurant inside is very well done up. read more

Shout out to the waiters and hostess for getting us a table at such a late time before close, or maybe I should be upset because the food here is genuinely some of the worst edible items ive consumed. Full of grease and 100% frozen and reheated. read more

Good chips and salsa and they are free. My young grandsons love it here. Would go again.

Our food was delicious and the experience was made better thanks to the service we had from our waitress, Sarah S. The Choridip was amazing and I suggest that appetizer. The house margarita hit the spot after a long day in the sun. The restaurant looked to be a new building and the vibe was very relaxed. I highly recommend visiting Los Rancheros! read more

We were a little skeptical about going here after reading the reviews, however made the decision to try it. So grad we did! Drinks are awesome! I ordered the Texas margarita. They did not have one. Ugh! They did make it thou. Ordered a house margarita frozen with a shot grand marnier. Rene, Our server was awesome! Very explanatory with the margarita menu and our meal! We both had the Fajita Burrito Chicken! Loved it and the atmosphere! Most of the reviews are for the other location! read more

Once upon a Time, there was a restaurant called los rancheros, and it was a very small Mexican restaurant. The amount they have grown since I have last been there is absolutely phenomenal. They now have a new private building all to themselves and the food phenomenal. Everything is straight up. Amazing about this place. Highly recommend everything. if I could, I would rate this place 10 stars because I just love it so much. And the mints that they give to you on the way out, don't even get me started on those Keylime mints. They are so good! I love the Mexican vibe all around the restaurant and I ran into one of my favorite servers who still surprisingly works there after six years of my family not going there. To leave on a positive note, highly recommend this place my go to order are three tacos and one quesadilla. Once again, outstanding restaurant. read more

Premium prices for mediocre food. We used to love this place but the last two times we have been (to the Freeport location and this location), we were unimpressed. I hate it because this restaurant used to be great. read more

We have been here several times and always have a good experience at the new location. Both the food and service is great!

The atmosphere was fun and the queso and chips were great! We just stopped in for a quick snack and ordered The nachos locos. We were very underwhelmed and noticed that the fillings were mostly corn and black beans that were straight from a can. The servers were very kind but never brought waters and were a bit slow. read more

This place is okay... the burrito was kind of watery, the ground beef was too pink for my liking and there was hardly any queso on top. Not great for the price. However it wasn't terrible. read more

This ain't the best Mexican restaurant to go to. I should I know, I've been to various places at home and here during my trip. Now, this place doesn't have anything special about the food at all. Just some slightly boring food with nothing tasteful added in. (I had rice with beef) Service was nothing special either, server looked rather soulless when leading us to our table. Finally, I'd like to round off with the overall aesthetic and design of the ambience. I will say it does have a sort of abstract feel but that where the appraisal ends. The floor had some kind of sticky feeling while walking around, as if there was constant beverage spills that wasn't cleaned up in a while. Overall, I don't recommend this at all to anybody. I don't really see why this place should even exist if it has this much blandness to the food. The fact that this was the final choice when my family was deciding what to eat is beyond me... I don't suggest eating here....unless your standards for food are seriously low. read more

I think the lower reviews are for another location of this restaurant because the one in Santa Rosa is not only beautiful on the inside, the food is delicious! My son and I agreed that the Nachos Locos are the best we've had bar none! It was fresh and delicious and the guac was very good! read more

RUBEN IS HORRIBLE !! He barely listened to what I was saying and was rushing all of us when there were barely any people. I asked for my Dr. Pepper about 4 times and it still didn't come. This review is mainly for RUBEN!!= read more

We're locals to Freeport, but haven't been to the SRB location until tonight. The restaurant is beautifully done. The vibe is on point. The service was decent, and prices are OK. What we weren't ok with was the 4% credit card fee on the receipt. Covering credit card fees shouldn't be the customers problem. Also, I didn't see that listed anywhere on the menu. That truly rubbed us the wrong way. We probably won't rush back. read more

Check your bill. They will add things on your bill without telling you. The server we had was not very friendly, and she did not correct our bill after pointing out an add on. I would not dine here again after them attempting to sneak charges on. Also, the food is mediocre for the cost anyways. Go elsewhere. The only good thing is the inside is nice and fairly clean. read more

We from Georgia and was here for a visit and stumbled across their new location. No waiting around 3:10pm. We got seated right away. Service was excellent. Very clean. If you want special drink , you may want to ask the bartender. The portion is very large for Fajita Loco and Fajita Burrito. One of the restaurant you may want to give it a try. read more

The worst Mexican food I have ever had. Got fajitas to play it safe. Chicken overcooked. Steak isn't steak. Flour tortillas are packaged junk as is the guacamole. Onions and peppers overcooked. Tomatoes mixed in with the peppers and onions! No one does that. I will never go back. read more

Average mexican. Staff was nice. Food was mediocre at best. I will not be going back. Feels like a tourist trap.

Would I eat their again - No. It's in a new building that is attractive but reminds me of sports bar with Mexican theme. I admit I am sensitive to chemicals and the restaurant smelled of some type of cleaner. Probably something they wipe the tables with. It game me an immediate headache so how good could the meal be after that. I did not like the chips or the salsa. The chips were stale and the salsa just average. I had the tamale and it along with the beans were way too salty. The rice was kind of bland. Spouse said her Chimi was OK. Service was good, but way below average mexican food for beach town prices. read more

Well, I'm a local, plan to go tomorrow, will definitely leave an updated review! I've always loved this place. Very few times had poor service or wrong order. Food has always been consistent quality and taste. Will update with pics! read more

I walked out. They have chile rellenos. They have shrimp. But they won't add shrimp to a chile relleno.

I wanted 3 enchiladas with cheese sauce. They have a platter deal with the 3 enchiladas I wanted for $16.99. I ordered the enchiladas without the rice and beans. It cost me $24 for just the enchiladas and a root beer. Terrible customer service wouldn't help me out when I asked about it and said that I didn't save them money. Bs. read more

Have loved this place since high school 5 years ago!! Still great to get when I come to Florida to visit family.

Ask for very, very, very well done fajita. let's just say looked like the chicken was still alive waitress was slow and terrible. I left a tip but she didn't deserve one. The prices are outrageous! must have raised them to pay for that new building! will never go back ! read more

The new place is beautiful. My waitress was excellent. The prices were very high. The chips were stale. The salsa and queso were pretty good. I had cheese chili relleno-(the very best!), a beef enchilada (very good) and a crispy taco (again stale, so not good) Hope they tighten things up. I'll be ordering cheese chili relleno and hope the chips improve. read more

Food was great and the restaurant is beautiful, and the price for food despite the high priced area is great, only thing is I wish they had more fish on the menu read more
