I enjoyed the food, but was confused when my bill had a tip already set up for me to pay. I talked to the Manager about it, but just looked at me, waiting for me to tip what they wanted me tip. I do tip, but I don't like having the place tell me what they think I should give them. I hope this never happens to anyone else. read more

Delicious food and very friendly and accommodating services! I recommend the Ronnie's Cheesesteak rice. Amazing food and a clean friendly environment! read more

Los Rancheros - Very delicious!! - Mexican Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

First off, I love cheese. The amount of cheese they put on everything may have given me a bit of a bias. I've only been here twice, but both times I was very happy with (most of) the food. The salsa was nothing special...not very tasty, but then I don't go to fill up on chips and salsa. Tonight we got the white cheese dip and I thought it was really good. I like Xochimilco's, but I thought this was a little better. I do agree with another poster that for the price some of their things are small. I got the chimichanga and, while it was good, it was pretty small. I can get two at other places for the same price. But at least you do get rice and beans with your meal. Now someone else said they got cheese enchiladas and there was no cheese. They might have just forgotten that night or something and refused to admit fault. My niece got one tonight and it was oozing cheese. It looked wonderful and she loved it. My sister got the Monterrey steak and thought it was very delicious. The portions were filling. Our waitress was attentive and very polite. We'll definitely go back. read more

Stayed at a hotel near the restaurant and didn't want to go too far. The service was great and the food was even better. The queso dip was amazing. Definitely glad we took the chance and stopped in. read more

We had a really good meal consisting of guacamole and a vegetarian quesadilla. They provide chips and salsa. The food was really good. The atmosphere is really nice and our waiter was really good. We did not have to wait for a long time for the food or to be seated. This is a good Mexican food restaurant for your family to dine at. read more

This is the worst restaurant complete false advertisement food sucks the I don't usually make reviews but this after going there paying top dollar for food I was very disappointed when I left read more

Great service; all servers wore masks; the manager came out and asked how our food was-- love the dedication! Food was AMAZING! I am a vegetarian and they still had quite the large selection for me. Frozen strawberry daiquiri was great too. Definitely would recommend! :) read more

Consistent Mexican food and super service. I would say we go every other week. Convenient location as well, by Target and other shopping.

Standard Americanized Mexican fare. The salsa was bland, and the chimichangas were tiny. It was nice that everything came with rice & beans and that they offered a cheap lunch menu even on the weekends, though. It was a convenient stop on the way out of town, but I doubt I would go back. read more

Where to start? How about basic facts, then details later. Service: great Atmosphere: great Menu: excellent Prices: fair for the menu as it is written Margaritas: what's tequila? Token Hispanic: well placed as host I have had Mexican across the nation, lived in SoCal for nearly a decade, spent a lot of time eating Mexican style in Arizona, Texas, Colorado and New Mexico, have had eaten at Mexican restaurants all along Baja California (that is Mexico for the gringos) so i feel I have some good opinions on what Mexican style food is and should be. That said... on with the review. I ordered the Texas Margarita which comes with Suaza tequila. That is about the cheapest tequila I like in margaritas. My first impression is far less cloying than the average margarita which is a serious positive. My second and final impression is... where's the darn Suaza?! The chips and salsa are fine. It is not a salsa fresca so don't expect fresh chunks of tomato, onion, and cilantro. For dinner I ordered the Ranchero Plate, or something like that. It is a taco, burrito, enchilada, chile relleno, refried beans and rice. It presents excellently. The refried beans are typical. The Mexican style Spanish rice (yes.. there is a difference between Spanish Rice, and Mexican Style Spanish Rice) is just OK. The beef taco was better than OK, but I won't call it good. The problem was the grocery store $0.99/packet of taco beef seasoning style meat in the taco. The beef enchilada and burrito suffered the same problem as the taco with that cheap meat that just doesn't work. The chile relleno was absolutely disgusting. Seriously, it was disgusting. I mean it. Don't get it. There barely was any fried crispy coating on it. Just enough to see it on the stem but not enough to change texture or flavor. The cheese on the inside. WTF was that? It was like some cheap mystery goo from a caulk gun you'd find at McDonald's. I enjoyed the dining experience, but really disliked the food. read more

Had the veggie fajita. So fresh, fast, steamy, and delicious. Service was lovely! Love the atmosphere and artwork/architecture.

Came in over 2 hours before close. Clearly they were trying to close early. Awful/no service. Waste of time.

Went alone, hostess seated me at the bar without asking and it wasn't busy. Ordered beef fajitas, they came out about a minute after the very mediocre chips. Tortillas were wrapped in foil, soggy and hard to separate. Plate was not sizzling, I really think I got an order that was a reheated plate. DRY and tough, service from bartender/manager was lazy. The server who picked up my plate wanted to know if anything was wrong since I left so much. I told her and she said she would talk to the manager to take it off. I was then presented with a full check. I saw her say something to the manager, she did nothing. Would never consider going back. read more

My burrito bowl tasted of leftovers. I'm pretty sure, based on the random bits of not-so-fresh beef mixed in with the chicken I ordered, that odd pieces were tossed in. I've made better reheated dishes at home. read more

The food is good Tex-mex. the service was good. I dropped in for a quick bite and was definitely pleased.

Is definitely not authentic Mexican food. It was horrible!!! I am from South Florida and have been in Mexico more than I can count. Really bad!!! read more

The food wasn't bad, terrible service. Very slow. I'm glad I came but won't come back.

Great Shrimp tacos!!!! Nice atmosphere...food quality in par with all the others in town. Will be frequent user :)

When you're staying next door, an okay place to eat. It tastes pretty good. Maybe one of the safer places to eat in Springfield outside of major chains. read more

One of my favorite Mexican places in Springfield. They have a good selection of food items. They even have a lobster quesadilla which I enjoyed very thoroughly, coupled with unlimited chips and salsa this place is most excellent. Though I wish the service a tad bit better. read more

Second favorite Mexican restaurant in Springfield only behind AZ-T-CA. A touch overpriced but the food is good & the service is always excellent. Not what I would call truly authentic but but much more so than many of the other Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

Flew in from Houston and was staying at the Courtyard next door. Being from Texas my expectations were high. I was pleasantly surprised. The queso dip was a little bland, no tomatoes, onions,etc., just plain cheese sauce, but it had a good taste. Then had the steak burrito which contained slices of fajita meat and was quite good. Very little crowd when I was there on a 7:30 on a Monday. read more

This place has amazing food!! Best chicken chimis I've ever had. I had stopped ordering them for a period of time because I was always disappointed that the places would always use dark crappy meat and put the lettuce and tomato in the the chimi or a lot of peppers and onions. This place uses good white meat chicken and they put the lettuce and tomatoes on the side. The first time we were here my husband got the chicken chimi and I got a beef quesadilla like I usually do because it's the safe choice. I saw how great his looked and tasted it, it was so good. That is what I get every time now! read more

This is my favorite place to eat Mexican food. My girl friend and I come here every Friday night. The service is very fast and friendly. The chicken nachos are excellent along with the steak quesadilla. My girlfriend usually gets the shrimp chimichanga, and she loves it. Their quest dip is wonderful as well. Highly recommended if you're looking for something a little different. read more

Definitely good food. Table side Guacamole is awesome. Service was excellent but there were only a handful of tables taken

The food, food prices & service was decent. No complaints there. But beware, the pitchers of margaritas are $25!!!! The exact same pitcher that would be $15 at every other Mexican restaurant. I thought it had to be a mistake. It was not! $25!!!!! read more

I picked up food the other evening on my way home from work after a 12 hour day. I ask the manager to make sure the kitchen does not put one item on my food because I have a food allergy to that item. I waited 20 minutes for my take out order. I arrived home 25 minutes later and opened my food to learn after spending $22 they had put the one ingredient I was allergic to all over my food. I was told by the manager to come back in the next day and they would make it right. If I had drove back that night, it would have been 50 minutes round trip. The manager understood and said it was fine. I went back the next evening and that same manager said I should have just scraped the item I'm allergic to off my food and ate what I could. After spending $22 and telling her more than once to please not put this item on my food. The manager said she told the kitchen but it was ignored. The manager refused to stand by her word on the phone. I will never eat at this location again. Most restaurants are sensitive to food allergies, not this manager. read more

I had a very good experience at the restaurant tonight. The service was some of the best I have had long time. The wait staff worked as a team. For example, one of the hostess refiled our drinks. The food was brought out quickly. The food was hot, good presentation, and had good flavor. The waiter was new, but did a real good job. read more

Arrived with a group of 5, not really crowed. Ordered drinks, which took over 20 mins to arrive, after the manager was spoken too. Waited for our meals which took over 35 mins to arrive, and again continued asking for assistance. Never once having any explanation of what was holding everthing up. On one persons meal the steak was so tuff it could not be eaten. When the bill was brought at the end, there was no apologies or discount offered. They seemed to truly not care of the poor service they provided to us. Unbelievable! read more

Burrito Loco special was huge and delicious. They have standard margaritas that are refreshing if unspectacular.

Waited over an hour for taco salads and flautas. Flauntas plate did not come with beans and rice even though it should have. Other patrons were sending back plates that were cold. Service was absolutely horrible but food, when it finally came, was tasty so I can't give it a one star. But I won't ever come here again. read more

The atmosphere is nice and has a good feel. We ordered 2 meals and 2 margaritas. Total bill was $67 (before tip). We questioned the bartender about the price and were assured it was accurate. Later, pulled up menu from the website and saw we were grossly overcharged. We called and got the runaround. Employees couldn't even name the manager. Promised a refund and phone call back. Still waiting. Portions small and priced higher than comparable restaurants. read more

It's alright. Good portions, adequate fair. The salsa picosa and salsa verde are amazing! I've liked most things that I"ve tried so far (Chimichangas and the fajita nachos! Good picks!) But I feel like there's some kind of punch missing. I'll be back though. read more

I was in Springfield my cousin and her husband took me and my brother there for dinner and we both were very impressed with the food. The service was excellent and the owners were very nice. The portions given to us were more then most people could eat but we both love mexican food. I can't wait to go back there to eat when I return back to Springfield. David A. Henderson Boston, MA read more

Horrible place! Service is terrible and they act as if you are a burden to them. My Mom had bought us 5 $10.00 gift cards there for Christmas last year, turns out they only activated one the other four were no good. When I confronted them about it they said it wasn't their problem! Stay away from this place...... read more

Good service. Fish tacos were excellent. Prices are reasonable. Would go back next time we are in town.

Manuela the manager was rude when they messed up my order by putting beans on my nachos. She told me I should read the menu and not make lots of changes. The waitress was nice but I will never be returning because that's not how you fix your mistake. read more

I'm writing this review after my second visit to this establishment at the request of my wife and he friend. After my first visit I would not have returned. the service was bad and I don't recall the food being any good either. After having visited a second time I have to say I'm a little more impressed. at first our waiter didn't speak good English and as a result got our order wrong. however, after we waived down another waiter, Arturo, our experience was awesome from that point on. we received our food quickly and Arturo took care of us very well. I had a couple soft tacos and they were very good. my wife had the cheesy rice and chicken and I tasted it also. the rice is very good, maybe slightly spicy to some people, and the chicken and cheese sauce was very tasty. if your looking for good chips though this probably isn't the place. although they weren't terrible, they were more like what you would get at the grocery store than authentic Mexican chips. salsa was very good with lots of cilantro which I love. so if your in the area give this one a try and ask for Arturo he will take care of you. read more

Went there for the first time tonight, delicious! We had the tilapia tacos and it was amazing! I will go back for sure.

My wife, kids and I really like this place. We eat here a lot. Of all the times we have eaten here we've only had 1 bad experience. Average price. Above average food. Usually good service. read more
