I had passed by this location quite a few times, but never stopped to eat. I was looking online for local Mom and Pop operations in the Conroe area. When I read the reviews about Rana's they were good, so I decided try it out. The chips and salsa were home made, and the guacamole very good. We had the Enchiladas Mexicanas and Enchiladas Sour Creme. Both were delicious. The owner and wait staff were very friendly and thanked us personally as we left. I will definitely go back to try out other items on the menu. read more

My husband and I decided to try Rana's based on the yelp reviews for dinner yesterday. Just like many others, we consider ourselves Mexican food and margarita experts and we were not disappointed! Rana's was excellent! We had house-made guacamole to start and it was delicious -chunky with right amount of salt and lime juice. The margaritas were on the rocks with a nice balance of lime and tequila. The frozen ones also looked good but we did not try them. We kept it simple with chicken fajitas as our entree. They were well-seasoned and the charro beans were also excellent! We will be back!!! read more

Great little gem in Conroe. Wonderful Mexican food that is fresh and original. Owner is usually there and extremely friendly. Always willing to answer any of your questions. The quacamole and queso are some of the best around. This restaurant is on 105 just west of Conroe High School on the opposite side of the street near Taco Bell. Skip the fast food and try some Real food!! Yummy read more

Awesome food! We were going to Taco Bell next door, then we seen Rana's Mexican Grill, and we're glad we did!!! We got the Cream Burrito with Chicken & Beef fajita meats, and the Shredded Chicken Taco Salad, both were very, very good. The salsa was excellent too. The cream burrito was topped with a cheese/sour cream sauce the was sooo good. The chicken was very well seasoned which most restaurants do not do...usually grilled chicken is bland, but not here! Great team of waitresses & management as well! We even met a couple who spoke very well of Rana's as well. So visit there as soon as you can & ENJOY! read more

Wow, I don't understand how someone could complain about waiting for good food. I would wait the 30 minutes every time if my food tasted that great! I got the fajitas everyone talks about and they were absolutely delicious. You can tell the guacamole is made to order because it was starting to turn brown by the time I was almost finished with it. I always tell myself to take photos but I just can't help but dig in as soon as it hits the table! I would highly recommend this place and will be back again soon. The owner is very nice and greets you as soon as you walk through the door. read more

This place has some good fajita tacos but other than that there food is ok, a lot more Tex-mex foods. There service is really good and the place is always clean from the times that we have gone. They also have crawfish when the season comes around and they are great. Would recommend. read more

Food was fresh from the guacamole to the meat in my tacos. Service was quick, food quick to arrive, even with a big party. Mini tacos were very good! I'd come back for sure. read more

Had my first delicious meal here tonight & look forward to going back. The food was fresh & very tasty & the service from the friendly staff was impeccable. Great dining experience at very affordable prices. read more

This place was recommended by a friend and now I will recommend to everyone. This is what I call authentic Mexican food. Everything was great, from the Margarita to the service. You will not be disappointed! Please go and enjoy. Help this small business grow. read more

Greeted immediately...love the customer service...the food was awesome...had the sour cream enchilada...can't rave enough about the food.

This place is an absolute gem! Warm, friendly service every time I visit. The fajitas are delicious! Everything is always fresh which means you may wait a few extra minutes for it to be ready. I don't think you will disappointed though! read more

We were driving down 105 looking for a good, local, Mexican joint and this place caught our eye. I got the Street Tacos (mix and match you get 5) with Pastor, Asada, and Chicken, with the cilantro and onions. All three meats had great flavor. Served hot with excellent service. If you are looking to try a Mexican restaurant that is not a "big chain," I highly recommend this place! We will be back! read more

Outstanding friendly service and the food quality is WOW good. Thanks Carlos!

Traveling from Dallas to Galveston and looked to Yelp for Help on lunch spot. Rana's did not disappoint. Not far off I-45 in a little strip mall, it does have a little bit of the hole in a wall feel mentioned here. The service and food however were excellent! I did a combo plate with Beef Taco and Burrito. The burrito looked smallish compared to what I'm used to in Dallas, but both were very tasty and filled me up. My wife tried the lunch special of the day - a stuffed poblano and mixed fajitas. The poblano was very good, but the mixed Chicken & Beef Fajita with grilled veggies was the star. Careful! - that's not green bell pepper... that's strips of grilled jalapenos in the mix of onions & tomatoes. Both plates came with rice, beans and, of course, complimentary chips and tasty salsa. The manager (owner?) stopped by to check on us before we left and chatted for a moment to make sure everything was good. As tempting as the sopapillas looked, we were stuffed and needed to get back on the road. Thanks for the tip Yelpers! I'll stop by here when back in the area and hopefully check out the margaritas next time. read more

First time - drinks were great, 1 meal 5 stars, second 2 1/2 stars! Service was outstanding! read more

Rana's was a wonderful place to catch up with old friends AND have excellent service and food. The frozen margueritas were very good. The homemade chunky fresh quac was excellent. The beans that came with with my chicken mole were the best ever. Salsa was also excellent. Carlos, the owner, was very attentive to our needs and tastebuds. Check out Rana's right across from Conroe High. read more

Per my husband, the fajitas tequila were the bomb. Per mother in law, frozen margarita was excellent. Although it was a Saturday night, they were not too busy and had prompt service. Very nice dinner and very friendly staff. After trying to get a table at several chain restaurants, this was a nice change of pace. read more

OMG good! Wow! Just an unobtrusive shopping strip Mexican food joint, which was a good sign in my opinion. The best Mexican food restaurants never have fancy architecture or catchy frills. This place delivers! I had the Rana's beef fajitas. Wow, wow, wow! read more

Great service and great food. Loved the mini tacos. The guacamole was fantastic! We will be coming back for another visit.

What a great place! The food is fabulous and the service is fast and friendly. Have added this to our fav list.

Food is delicious. Atmosphere is great. Service is the best. Check it out. The Mini tacos were good....

Have been eating here a while mostly take out but always soooo good!! Great small dine in & take out place in Conroe. Authentic. $2 frozen margaritas on cinco de mayo read more

Great Mexican food and a pleasant experience. I love the variety of fajitas; 6 or 7 varieties. Aztec Fajitas had grilled onions, poblano, and tomatoes....a LOT of them and the seasoning was the best. Salsa is warm and very tasty. Nachos are like you find in Mexico, using fresh ingredients. And the prices are low - better than Lupe at half the price. They are on top of their service too. We'll be back often! read more

Little hole in the wall spot. The Rana's fajitas were very good! Margaritas were on point. Best part was the music! Old school country and 50's style rock n roll was playing. Really like that! read more

After a long day at a trade show, a group of us went to get some dinner. The service was good and so was the food.

Terrific food!! I had the 5 mini tacos and my husband had the enchiladas verde. Both were outstanding. The salsa is served hot with just right amount of heat. Made my nose run so you know it's good!! We liked the salsa so much we bought some to take home. Very friendly service. Definitely give it a try. read more

Good food & service. Great guacamole, nice and chunky. Salsa has a deep smokey kind of flavor, very tasty. Had the enchilada verde, has a unique lime tasting sauce, was very good. Portion sizes are on target, not too huge, just right. read more

Friendly place, mediocre food. Do not get these high reviews. Got there at 1:00. There were 2 people in there. Ordered a simple combo platter with a cheese enchilada and a beef tostado, rice beans etc. The cheese enchilada was hard and had very little cheese in it. The tostada was not crisp and had to cut it with a knife. Standard rice and beans. To many near by places to go that in my opinion are much better. Maybe I caught them on a off day? read more

We ate at Rana's 2 times during the week I was in Conroe and found it to be the best Mexican food we had ever eaten. The guacamole is to die for! It's worth the drive from the Woodlands. My friends ate there 2 times. In one day. 5 stars for food preparation and friendliness of staff. read more

The owner is on site and cooks. It is a small, made to order type of place. Each of us orders things a little special. It has never been an issue. The service has always been friendly. The quality of the food is good (fresh vegetables, good shrimp).

Came in after a truck show and with hunger for days. Savory salsas, with even more flavorful foods made for a dope dinner that kept me full. Pollo Lacho and some carne Asada fries were the bomb. Service was great and it'll be a must have next time in town. read more

I tried the place out when they first open then again later.They have a friendly staff that's about it.The Food is Mediocre, If You start off or mention Margaritas when describing Mexican Food .Well the food can't be that great. This Place is on a List with Others that People have mention there Margaritas before There Food. read more

I've been here once before and the food was ok but the music is awesome and the service is incredible however tonight on a Friday it was very busy and my pastor were cold and charros beans were cold and tasted like canned beans. They never brought out my queso dip and I've been here 35 Minutes. I'm giving them a second chance. But I should have gone to El Bosque to be honest. read more

The food is not authentic Mexican, if that is what they claim it is. Mole, rice and bean not authentic at all. Entire meal extremely salty. I you like very salty an not authentic Mexican food this is the place for you. Waste of money, calories, carbs and time. Only got a one because the hot sauce was good. read more

This restuaurant has deliscious food, convenient location, and great service. We really enjoyed our visit here today, the food was fresh and had amazing flavor. Can't wait to go back! read more

Best margaritas in town! I also recommend the mini tacos, they are to die for. Owner is so personable and takes such pride in his business. Everything is made fresh and tastes AMAZING. read more

Love this place. We have been loyal to Carlos and his family for the past three years. Highly recommended.
