I've stopped here twice while doing business in West Branch. It's located in a strip mall next to Dollar General. I enjoyed the chimichanga the first time, but the best entree was the Rancheros tacos. They are three delicious deep-fried flour tacos served with beans and rice. I agree with other reviewers that the free chips and salsa are bland, but three hot sauces are available at the table if you want to spice it up. Don't forget the fried ice cream for dessert. Booth and flat-top seating in a quaint, Hispanic-themed restaurant with very decorative tables and music. Parties of 5 or more may have a wait, per the sign on the door. DoorDash and takeout. No credit card fee. Lunch and combo specials. Competitive pricing. The food comes out quickly with good service. Large strip mall parking lot. I have and will return. read more

On a recent trip to Traverse City we stopped in West Branch to grab a bite to eat. A quick look on Yelp showed consistent good reviews for Rancheros and I have to agree. We got there just before the lunch crowd but service was fast and the food was excellent. My mom and I both got the beef chimichanga lunch. It came with rice and beans and a guacamole salad on the side. The white queso sauce over the chimichanga was excellent. Everything was hot and fresh and lunch also comes with complementary chips and salsa. The chips were a little on the heavier side but surprisingly light and tasty. They make them in house our waitress told us. Prices were reasonable and we were in and out in 30 minutes and back on the road. read more

Delightful little place, great value, we liked it. Food was fresh but typical of these smaller Mexican joints. But fresh and friendly win the day. Fajitas were really good and chips were warm when we arrived at the table. read more

Got the fajitas and there were no chunks of chicken just little tiny pcs . And we're not well done as I asked . And my pops got the special chimichanga and other deep fried burrito both chicken . They arrived plain with no sausage sour cream or anything to put on it it was just chicken and a shell . It was 55 bucks for our dinner with one to go . Not impressed 65 with tip read more

In my opinion.. this is the best Mexican restaurant I know of! I highly recommend the seafood nachos. W service, all employees were nice. Definitely deserves to be 5 star. read more

Excellent food and good service this afternoon. Food was served promptly and hot from the kitchen . Chips and salsa were good. Wife enjoyed her seafood nachos and my sampler plate was very good. When a customer has a tomato allergy, most restaurants will swap out salsa for a small taste of queso but in this case we had to pay $3.55 for a very small sample for my wife.. IF there is to be a charge then the wait staff ought to make the customer aware of it before bringing the surprise in the bill at meal end. This was the only thing preventing us giving this place a perfect score.. read more

Little place, fast service and delicious food. We had the fajita burrito, very well seasoned, piping hot and a good portion.

Best Mexican food around, simple and spectacular! Service is exceptional and prices are fair with generous portions. Situated in a strip mall but once you taste the food you'll be back. read more

They don't serve alcohol which disappointed my husband. He had a burrito with green sauce. He thought the chicken needed more seasoning but got their hottest sauce for the chips and loved it. They do brew their own iced tea which is a bonus for me. I had four enchiladas with different fillings and liked all of it. Really good enchilada sauce. Chips were good, didn't break in salsa which also tasted good. Great service, average prices. Lots of parking. read more

We enjoyed our meal, our server and the decor of this FIVE+ star restaurant. We knew it was a 5 star place when as we walked in, there was a sweet, clean, welcoming smell in the air. The restaurant was clean! We love the decor. The restrooms were clean. This is the first restroom we have been in that has a MOUTHWASH dispenser! What a nice "plus"! And to top it off, the food was GREAT! Thank you. Jeanie and Skip Himes read more

We were traveling back from Northern Michigan and needed a place for lunch. The food was fresh, delicious and some of the best salsa I have had! The service was good and our drinks were refilled. The restaurant was clean and we enjoyed the murals. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in West Branch. read more

Rancheros is my all time favorite restaurant. No matter how many times I come here, I never get tired of it or have any complaints. The food is perfection and the staff is always pleasant. Kailey is an excellent waitress. If I could give this rating 10 stars instead of 5 I would! read more

We went here because of the favorablereviews but unfortunately I was very disappointed as were my two companions. I only gave it 2 Star's because the one thing that was good was the chips although they charged a dollar extra if you wanted more than the small basket they gave. Mind you the bottom is all crumbs. They also charge you another dollar for the small container of salsa I would not recommend this place. read more

Fantastic service, monster burrito was amazing! My wife and I think this is our new favorite Mexican restaurant.

I'm impressed every time we go to this restaurant! We love the food, the atmosphere, and the staff. They have authentic Mexican cuisine. Fajitas are excellent as well as their tacos and salads. If you love fajitas but feel like a salad.....the fajita salad is the best of both worlds. During Covid-19- they are doing delivery and carry out. Come and get your "fix" of excellent Mexican food served with a smile. read more

Awesome food, nice cozy feeling and excellent customer service! Definitely recommend.

The best shredded beef enchilada and side of guacamole I have ever tasted! Hubby liked his ground beef burrito with quest very much.

Excellent food and service. Would recommend and return while we are camping at outdoor adventure read more

Excellent food and service. We had a wonderful meal. My husband had the seafood chimichanga and I had the enchiladas Del Mar and would highly recommend both selections. The food was hot, wonderfully seasoned and the presentation was excellent. The waitress was attentive, friendly and helpful. I would come back here in a heartbeat! One of the best places, if not the best place I've been for Mexican food. read more

Wow, what a surprise to finally stop in West Branch and have great food. Tough call on what is better, the service or the food. We hated stopping in West Branch headed up North because the food choices were always horrible. The home made chips were great. The guacamole was homemade and amazing. The Botana nachos were perfect. Carne Asada tacos were simple and great. This will be are only stop from now on. read more

While driving to the restaurant I was unsure at first, it didn't look like the best Mexican food ever. Looks can be deceiving! This Mexican food was one of the best I have ever had. The pricing was good and the food came out fast and hot. The chips were homemade and the salsa was the perfect mix of flavor and spice. For being a hole in the wall restaurant, it had a good environment that was inviting and colorful. I really enjoyed this restaurant and would visit back any day. read more

Standard Americana Texmex with a decent price. It is everything you expect it to be from the chips, to the salsa, and the meal overall. It is generally speaking a solid meal, but nothing that will have you driving from all over to go to. Service was great though and you can tell they are popular with the locals. No alcohol though, so if the margaritas are key to your Mexican meal, go elsewhere. read more

Fast service and great food. I usually get the steak tacos with cilantro and onions and they are awesome. You'll barely finish your complimentary chips and salsa before your food comes out. read more

My experience at this establishment was a very pleasant one, Emily our server was fantastic, the food is exultant, I had the chicken nachos very great tasting the flauntas were extraordinarily delicious , my dad had the lunch tostadas with refried beans and rice overall very satisfied and keep up the great work. read more

Was hungry and was looking for a place to eat. Found this place on Yelp and decided to visit. They greet you right away and the whole place is Mexican themed. The menu has lots of selections but we went with the steak and chicken fajitas. It was amazing and mouth watering. We also picked up a couple of their hot sauces and they only cost $5 a bottle. read more

We are from downstate and love eating downtown detroit in Mexican town. We have been nicely impressed that Ranchero's selection of everything! I love their steak nachos, guacamole, cheese and bean dip (I eat it as a meal because it's so big and delicious), chicken fried flour tacos, and the salsa is perfect. I will gladly pay for anything extra they might charge as it's worth it. Everyone that works there is awesome and pleasant. Service and Food is consistent and the staff appreciates the customers. My favorite Mexican restaurant in northern Michigan. read more

My in laws have been here a few times and enjoyed it and suggested we all go and eat there. The food was good, the staff very friendly. I would go back. The enchiladas were good and the chicken chimichanga was stuffed well and very good read more

The burrito had marinara sauce on it. Taco was just beef. Chicken dishes were dry. The salsas were good with The hot sauce being pretty hot!! read more

I was hoping for a margarita, but that was my fault for assuming I would be able to get day drunk at the first Mexican Grill we spotted in West Branch, MI, in the middle of a snowy April drive to TC. Portions were good. Prices seemed slightly steep. But I see no reason to dock any stars from this place. It was fine. read more

About the only appealing thing I found was the decor. After living in Texas for 15 years I was craving some Mexican food. I do cook a wide variety of Mexican dishes myself but wanted to pop in and try this place. It was horribly bland. It tasted like everything came out of a can not fresh made. The only good thing about my nachos were the chips themselves. I wanted to go back into the kitchen and show them how to make real charro beans, refried beans and seasoned beef and chicken fajita meat. I know you need to cater to the locals taste buds but it could still be a little improved with with some authentic flavors and recipes. read more

We decided to give this place another try. We explained our horror story from over a year ago. The owner was understanding and we just experienced a wonderful meal. The seafood fajitas were amazing. Perfect service and leavening satisfied. read more

Whoever you had working tonight (7/7/2021) as the "Manager" was very rude to my family after all they asked was why their food hadn't come out after waiting for more than 45 minutes. The "Manager" threw my parents fajitas on the table in front of many customers and yelled at them to leave when all they wanted to know was why the food took so long when others who arrived at the restaurant after them had already received their food, ate, and left before my family got their food. The "Manager" needs an attitude adjustment or needs to be fired because of her attitude. This is not how you treat customers. They will never be going there again and will be letting all of their friends know that live there not to go there too. read more

We went here for the first time last week (because we just bought a home in Luzerne/Mio) and it was GRRRREAT!!! My wife is from Utah and grew up eating Mexican food because her ex-boyfriends were Mexican, and my two beautiful step-daughters are half Mexican/Hispanic. We both love Mexican/Hispanic food. This is the best we have found here in Michigan. It is now our "Go for Mexican" restaurant. Mmm....Mmmmm..... read more

Stopped in here on the way up north...what a great place!! Food is terrific. Service is friendly. And the prices are reasonable! Try the chicken tortilla soup, it is amazing! I would take a road trip from metro Detroit to eat there again! read more
