My friend and I were looking for Tex-Mex yesterday while shopping in Conroe. I looked at Yelp for suggestions and Rana's Mexican Grill was at the top of the list. We arrived around noon and were seated right away. We received chips with red and green sauce. I only had the green and it was delicious! We both ordered from the lunch menu. I ordered chicken enchilada verdes and my friend ordered nachos with beef fajita meat. Our server was very sweet. She assured me that the verde sauce was very mild and she was correct! It was perfect. Our food was brought out very fast. Everything was great. The prices were reasonable too. I hadn't eaten all day and I was so happy to have food, I totally forgot to take any pictures. You know what that means??? I'll have to go back so I can take pics for Yelp!!! LOL!! There was plenty of parking. The parking lot was clean and looked safe. It's right across 105 from Conroe High School (my old school...class of '82). The restaurant was also clean plus nice and quiet. I highly recommend going to Rana's if you are in the Conroe area. read more

We love Rana's !!! It's our go to joint for Mexican/Tex -Mex. It's seems to be better every time we go. My only suggestion is minor. I just wish the salsa bowls were bigger. It's hard to dip your chip. But the food and service are fantastic !!! read more

This location is in a strip mall. It is a smaller location but the service is quick and efficient. There is minimal decor. The salsa was warm which is different but was good and had a bit of spice kick. The chicken street tacos were good, I enjoyed the refried beans. There was a 3% charge for using a credit card but there wasn't a sign or note on the menu calling this out, I just caught it when the ticket balance didn't match the credit card charge. It should be called out prior to paying so customers have the option to use cash. read more

Server was awesome. Thank you Sheila! We ordered ELPastor Nacho's to share. I'm sorry I wanted to like it so bad but the chips were too thick for my liking but that's a personal choice. The Nacho topping was more in the center of the plate and the chips were on outside of the plate. The taste was very bland to me as well. I am going back because I've heard the food is really good. I'm going to try something else. The ambiance wonderful. The restaurant is clean. I think you should try it and give them a chance. read more

This is my wife and I's go to weekday spot for Tex mex. The food is great and service is always quick. The warm red salsa is our favorite.

Smallest bean burrito I've seen in my life. I got the combo plate w/ bean burrito and a chicken taco (barely any chicken) This plate was $13. It all tasted good but this portion feels kind of like a ripoff. read more

Literally the best hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Great chips and salsa and even better house margaritas! My husband is very picky when it comes to margaritas. He usually always gets top shelf where ever we go.. but not this time! He was obsessed with the house margaritas! It's a must try spot in Conroe, TX! read more

If you're looking for a local gem to enjoy amazing food, drinks, and vibes, Ranas in Conroe is it. This place serves up some of the best beeritas and Mexican food in town. From their amazing birria tacos to the crawfish with their signature dip sauce (seriously, it's addictive), every bite hits the spot. We stopped in for Mother's Day weekend and couldn't have picked a better place. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, the service was great (family sisters run/own) , and $4 mimosas kept the celebration poping! Do yourself a favor, go hungry, order the crawfish, get a drink and relax.. read more

Since I first reviewed Rana's I've been several more times. I can confidently say that they have some of the best beef fajita and carnitas street tacos I've ever tried and certainly the best in the Conroe/montgomery area. If I could give them 10 stars I would. And the staff are great! read more

This place had pretty good Mexican. Ordered the rings chicken street tacos which was spicier than other Mexican restaurants. Unless you're fond of super spicy food don't order this one) The beef ribs were excellent ( not spicy) . Enjoyed the prickly pear margarita. Service was good. We'll be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Best salsa in north Houston hands down. It's soooo addictive. Food is fine, margaritas are strong.

Mini tacos with carnitas was banging. They added all the best sides, avocado, sour cream, and jalapeños. Mm good!! My husband enjoyed his fish plate, service was timely. I ordered over the phone and it was complete waiting for me, when I got there. Ambiance is nice with the Mexican music playing but I took my food to go. Loved!! read more

Service was terrible. We waited 30 minutes for drinks, no one attended to us. Wont be returning due to lack of service and quality

Let's be honest, if you want a hidden gem, then don't share the good news about your favorite spot. However, Ranas is no longer Conroe's secret spot! The best margarita in town, the food is fabulous and even has a great Hamburger too. Shayla is the best server and this place is family owned and ran. Don't go expecting a fancy ambiance, this place is no frills and they waste no effort on stuff that doesn't matter. The food is so good, ask for the special salsa verde in the squeeze bottle. read more

Why 4 stars? Because this was definitely some high quality Tex-Mex. --- --- --- In my quest to find the area's best Tex-Mex, I was very excited to check out Rana's, where the reviews were really great. While I wish we could have dined in, our 2.5 year old prevents us from being able to "enjoy" meals out these days, so we opted for pick-up. As usual, we went with the mainstays: fajitas, rice-n-beans, chips-n-queso. Rana's is a bit different than all of the big Tex-Mex chains, in that, everything is not super-sized. The tortillas are more taco-sized than burrito-sized. The fajita meat is also a bit more modest. Instead of giant peppers and onions, you get small onions and some pico de gallo. But with all that said - we really enjoyed it. And definitely wish we would have been able to enjoy it in the restaurant, where I'm sure it would have been even better. The chips and queso were almost too enjoyable because I could not stop eating them. We will definitely be back - in person, this time - where I expect I might be updating my rating to 5-stars. read more

Great people, great food. Salsa Street tacos Fajitas Hole in the wall pace, not very hole in the wall prices but worth it. read more

Great service. Very friendly. The warm salsa takes a little getting used to but has super flavor. We've been here twice and ordered different things each time just because the flavor was so amazing we had to try new, different things. I will definitely be re-visiting the fajitas again (although I might try chicken - the beef was a little tough). Oh yea. The margaritas are tasty as well - not too sweet. Try it, you'll like it! read more

Out of towners from AZ - visiting friends for a long weekend - got some fajitas for takeout - possibly the best we have had in years

Wow. The food here is amazing. We had Enchiladas Verdes Caldo de Pollo Soup beef Mini Taco Plate and beef fajita Tacos al Carbon. Margarita on the rocks a guava and a peach frozen marg. When i say all of these dishes and beverages are a 10/10, i mean it!! The owner was there and she accompanied us with such grace and kindness! My new spot when I'm in Conroe. I went to sleep thinking about those enchiladas. Lowkey spot with a homey touch to the place. Thank you Rana's! read more

Wow handmade thin flour tortillas. Beautiful Marinated flank fired steak fored on the geill for fajitas. Fresh chunky quac. Refried beans so home made. My new favorite place for Mexican super fresh. Even the Spanish rice is grea! read more

Wow what amazing guacamole they have!! The guacamole was so good we order another order. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. As others have posted the place is small restaurant in a strip center. The outside is not fancy, but the interior is very cozy and extremely clean. Our server was polite and they always attended to our needs. I had fajitas and an extra cheese enchilada. The cheese enchilada I would give only 4 stars. Not my favorite. Everything else was incredible! I cN highly recommend this local place!! read more

I absolutely loved my entree and friendly experience I had here. Sadly my 5 star review is missing with some of my pics. Carlos the owner was very present in the restaurant at my visit and really cared about every patron. I'm so Glad to see he is successful and doing well. I remember his original story which I won't mention at this time. Congratulations Carlos :)!!! First off Carlos serves up authentic recipes and not the boring generic Tex Mex. I had the pleasure to dine on his Super fresh tasting Tilapia entree with the freshest crawfish, shrimp and mushrooms in a creamy wine sauce. The beans were delicious also with that house cooked taste. I see so many other entrees I would like to try. Need to re-visit soon! Highly recommend :)! I'm reposting my 2 pics that were not removed so you can see what entree I enjoyed so much :). read more

This is By far the best Mexican food in town. The best part is the service. Family owned, family always here. Recipes are all from the family and made in house. Dining room is small and intimate. Mr. Rana is always walking around and greeting the customer. There is no place better for authentic Mexican food in Montgomery county... Tequila Fajitas are our favorite... you won't be disappointed. I promise... read more

Excellent! Caldo de res and fajita salad! Great green sauce! Excellent find on yelp as we were travelling!

Amazing service! Great food. Something for everyone. Great family owned business. Glad we found this for my birthday.

Food was as awesome! OMG. Their mole sauce. Drinks were great. Service was amazing. My only complaint (why I took off 2 stars)) was that no servers were wearing a mask except 1 person. Really?!?!?!?! Thank you! I don't know her name but I really appreciate her attempting to keep us all safe. read more

Good food and excellence service. In 2023's economy I felt the food was amazingly price. We will visit again!

What a pleasant surprise!! We were in the immediate area, craving some Mexican food. My handy dandy Yelp all recommended Rana's. Admittedly, my expectations weren't high - we were just really hungry. After the food start coming out, we realized that we hit the jackpot. First - queso. We ordered a small. After we tried it, it kinda disappeared leaving us no choice but to order another one. Then, guacamole. Perfecto. Then the meals started coming out. EVERYTHING was awesome. And just when I thought I couldn't eat anymore, I saw flan at the next table. Minutes later, flan was in front of me as well. It didn't last long, Bottom line - this place is great! Stop in and prepare to enjoy a fiesta of great food! read more

After reading yelp reviews my husband and I decided to try this place. Its just one of those restaurants that blends in with others nothing fantastic and overly priced. The food was OK however the rice taste like straight up garlic and this is coming from someone who likes garlic. The red salsa was good the green salsa was very salty. The waitress was very friendly after she gave me a dirty menu she went and grabbed a clean 1 for me. I'm all about supporting local businesses, but this 1 just wasn't a winner. Mediocre Mexican food. :/ read more

The good: the servers were nice but seemed short staffed so the Wait was very long. It was a Friday so I'll cut them some slack The bad: everything else,,, chips seemed like they were from a bag and it went down hill from there. It was mediocre at best. Won't be back read more

Usually I don't like to give bad reviews but I think I have to for this one so that other people can avoid it. 04/24/2022 We ordered Fajita Quesadilla and Beef Fajita for two. As it turns out all of us except one person (who didn't have any of it) has been knocked down with salmonella poisoning. None of us could keep any food or water for more than 15 minutes, not to mention a two-day diarrhea. Definitely won't back ever again! read more
