Went here for cinco de mayo! It was super busy but they were able to sit out party of 5 rather quickly. The place is huge! And it's wonderfully themed. My dad wanted to go here because he toured their good food but also good-sized portions. He was right! I had the watermelon margarita, from their most basic margarita options. It was okay. I love the glasses with the cactus stem though. I ordered the Al pastor tacos, which were excellent. But I was full off of chips and guac by the time I got them, so I had to take two home. They still tasted great the next day! For dessert, I had the churros, which were nothing special. My dad had the fried ice cream, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I tried it, it was yummy! There's a big parking lot next to the building, but it can fill up! read more

There is never a long wait, even when it's crowded. Soft Mexican music is playing so you can freely have a conversation. The queso dip is soo good, and the chips are warm and crunchy, I love that it always comes as you ordered it. read more

I've been coming here with friends and family for over a decade. The decor is a little dated inside, but the super friendly Service and the food absolutely make up for that. The menu is huge. There are no wrong choices here, there is something for absolutely everyone. They have a full bar, and I can personally recommend the strawberry margarita, as they make it with real strawberries, and not From a mix. Complementary warm tortilla chips and homemade salsa are brought to the table quickly after being seated. The queso dip is absolutely out of this world! It is creamy and spicy. I have celebrated many birthdays here, my own included (see also: giant sombrero). Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants of all time. read more

Rancho Chico Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Plainville, Massachusetts

This reviews apply to the Warwick Restaurant.. Had high hopes that this restaurant would continue the great Mexican food tradition started by the previous owners which seem to have failed because of lousy service. This new place had decent service but the food was terrible.. ordered what I thought was a pork dish with tomatillo sauce. What I got was a plate of fatty food, no taste and inedible. I sent it back then ordered a quesadilla which was edible but tasteless. Could have had the same thing at at Taco Bell. Service was good, but the manager's daughter(17?) was the bartender who did not even know how to pour a beer, painful to watch. Lots of smiles but really lousy food, no inkling of that great Mexican taste that is expected. This restaurant will close in 3 months.. read more

Rancho Chico is illegally charging you for using your credit card and are billing it as "overhead", just as a previous reviewer said. Here's a photo. Refuse to pay it. Additionally, I asked that the sour cream and sauce that's included on my dish be served on the side and they charged me for a "sour cream salad", whatever that is. read more

Super expensive for truly subpar food. We got nachos and a salad and it cost $40. The nachos were soggy and small. Will never go back

What's up with the low reviews? We have been coming here for years and the food is always great! The margaritas are delish. I wish there was more spicy, but overall everything tastes great. read more

Rancho Chico Restaurant - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Plainville, Massachusetts

Regulars that won't be returning. They completely botched our order and refused to correct it. I ordered a taco salad and requested the shell on the side so it didn't get soggy and received a shell and a very small amount of lettuce, nothing else. And the manager tried to tell me the veggie fajitas I ordered didn't come with anything, but their menu clearly says it comes with warm tortillas on the side. I wouldn't bother returning 10 miles in the pouring rain to get something I wasn't owed. Absolute horrible manager. read more

My tamales had mold on it. I lost my appetite after seeing that. I told my waitress and acted like she was shocked. They removed the tamale from my bill. I thought they could have comp my entire plate as they seen I did eat anything at all. It is what it is I didn't complain and still tipped 20% but I will never go back to this place read more

Rancho Chico Restaurant - Tamale with mold - Mexican Near Me - Plainville, Massachusetts

We've always liked coming here. But we went last weekend & I was surprised to see the cc convenience fee added to the bill. Turns out it's illegal. I wish I had known so I could bring it to their attention. I wish someone would. Not sure when we'll go back. Just be aware. Massachusetts law, General Law Part I, Title XX, Chapter 140D, Section 28A, prohibits sellers from charging cardholders a surcharge for using a credit card instead of cash, check, or other payment methods. However, some businesses in Massachusetts still charge credit card fees due to a loophole that allows them to do so if they meet certain conditions. These conditions include: Not profiting from the fee Using an outside company to process the transactions Offering an option to avoid the fee by paying with cash read more

We have always been huge fans of the rancho. Tonight we had the worst service I've ever experienced at a restaurant. First it took forever for us to receive drinks (Non alcoholic drinks mind you). Then we had finished our chips as a family of 5 and our waitress seemed to be actively ignoring us. We sat without drink refills until I had to go to the bar to order refills of water for my kids. we had ordered an order of guac that never came and we were charged for. My son had asked for no sauce on top of his fish tacos and finally after almost 30 minutes of waiting had the sauce on it and when we told the waitress his order was wrong we got accused of not telling her about the sauce and sent it back to be remade. this took about another almost 20 minutes. My daughters split a cheese quesadilla and I asked for an extra plate and we never received that. I had to use the empty chip container bc we never got a chip refill after asking for one more than once. Then it took forever to get the check which was incorrect and needed to be fixed. Then that took forever as well. Our drinks my husband and I had were terrible! we were so disappointed and won't be returning. read more

My cousin suggested we give this place a try so today was the day! First, let me start by saying the margaritas were delicious and the portions were HUGE!!! Service was great & the food came out really quick. They provided the first batch of chips and salsa and we went ahead and purchased some queso dip and it was really good! I had the Pollo Fundido which was sauteed chicken breast strips with mushrooms prepared in delicious red sauce with melted jack cheese. If you like cheesy, this is the dish for you, It was really, REALLY good! It was served with refried beans and rice. My hubby had the Como Tres Combo with an enchilada, chile relleno and beef taco also served with rice & refried beans and he was very pleased with his dish as well. We will definitely be back!! :) read more

Worst taco salad I've ever had. Canned chicken, no seasoning, iceberg lettuce, cheese and a mushy taco shell bowl. Don't waste your time.

I used to like this this restaurant. The food was always pretty good or OK and it was the closest Mexican in the area. We go every 6 months or so, but I'm done. Last night was just awful food. Rancho Chico is a HUGE restaurant that needs to be remodeled as the carpets are old, the bathrooms gross and the decor tired and tacky. I will say the customer service here is always great - you are greeted warmly, seated quickly and your server is fast friendly and efficient. The Margarita, even top shelf, was not flavorful and barely had alcohol in them. Not worth the price. They brought a bowl of thick cold tortilla chips quickly with a thin, watery salsa. Our whole bowl had 2 small pieces of onion and that was it. We have tried various dishes in the past , some combo dinners, carne asada, carnitas de Puerto , etc. They were all OK, not really good but ok. Tonight my BF got the chicken burrito and he said it was fine. I ordered the steak fajitas medium rare, with refried beans and rice. First I got a plateful of WET chopped lettuce, some salsa, sour cream, guacamole and a bit of shredded cheese. The tortillas were hot but all fold at the end and tearing when I tried to open it. The dishes came out together and as soon as i saw mine i said those are not medium rare. They are well done. The server just looked at me and said "What?" I said "Those are not medium rare" She looked at it, then at me and said "What do you want? I said "Please make another one medium rare." So she left with the sizzling dish. Now wouldn't you think that if that happened you , the server, would take the first available steak fajitas in the kitchen? No. We sat there for 10 minutes (me telling BF to eat and not wait) , with me picking at my thin soupy refried beans with no flavor and hard spanish rice. Then she brought out new steak fajitas. This one was medium rare. At least the thick pieces of steak were. the smaller thinner pieces totally overcooked. The onion and peppers were almost raw. So I ate the medium rare meat in my now cold tortilla and just called it a day. $15.99 is a decent rate for steak fajitas - even on the lower side of most Mexican restaurant where the average $18-22. However that dish wasn't worth $15.99. So that was my last experience there. I hear there is an AWESOME new authentic Mexican restaurant in N. Attleboro called Los Antojitos Restaurant and Bar. Real Mexican, much smaller with GREAT reviews . Time for a new Mexican Restaurant! read more

Service was great and so was the food. I love the steak and shrimp Asada, not sure how you spell it . Delicious Margaritas.

Love this place. I've been coming here for years. We would always get a pitcher of margaritas and share the nachos. I tell everyone to come here! read more

If you know your cochinita pibil, this could be your new meca! They nailed it!! I could go on and on about it, but if I did, you might all just go there and there would be none left for me! So I won't. You won't want it and it too far for you to drive anyway. Please leave me and Rancho Chico alone. read more

We've dined here regularly for about 15 years, and also ordered weekly from DoorDash during lockdown to help this business stay afloat. At one point, they stopped including chips and salsa, which was an understandable cost cut during the pandemic; however, it's been awhile now and they've still not returned to including them, while competitors we've found in the area do. What really stings is the recent price hikes. Our last takeout order was $7 more than for the same two dishes the week before. Upon checking a menu at pickup, we saw that one dish had gone up $6--and still no chips and salsa. We'd also noticed the last few months that the quality of the food was inconsistent at best. We don't believe the restaurant is under new management and we really hope the value and food quality return to what we've always known. We have found two closer Mexican restaurants and will be mostly giving them our business now. But Rancho Chico, we will miss our weekly visits and the wonderful staff we've come to know. read more

On the plus side, portions were very generous and the margarita was cheaper than at most Mexican restaurants and probably similar in quality (although probably from a mix). Your meal comes with complementary chips and salsa (refills are extra) and the salsa was rather watery - probably from a can. I ordered a chef specialty, Costillas En Barbeque, baby-back ribs marinated in a Mexican barbecue sauce. The sauce was not particularly interesting or tasty and the ribs were not served piping hot. The beans were good and they seemed to have used fresh cilantro. Wife got Chicken Fajitas which were rather dry, although they were generous with the chicken. The pepper strips and onions seemed wilty and too soft. For a buck or two more per entree, on average, you'd be better off at a lot of other family style Mexican restaurants. read more

Very few good selections around this general area for Mexican food. Sol Del Mexico is a waste of time and Acapulco's is just average and not impressive. This location sits on top of the hill on Route 1 in Plainville and is actually good sized place on the inside. Complimentary chips and salsa, salsa was ok but not great. The menu is what you would expect and decent selections, drinks of course with some tasty good sized margaritas. The food is huge portions, and not bad at all, made to order and the service is fast and efficient and friendly. The prices are decent, bit higher than what I have seen, but worth it. I would recommend this place. read more

Stopped in for dinner on a weekday - not very busy. Service was prompt and pleasant. Interior a little dark and needs updating - my cushion in the booth had a huge rip in the upholstery where I was sitting for example. Son had a grande nachos - very large portion, looked fresh, nice chips, best guacamole I have had in the area, sour cream, green onions, cheese, etc. He took half of the order home. Wife had fish tacos - 3 of them, rice and beans. Tacos were a bit disappointing - just bits and pieces of breaded fish, mostly lettuce. I had Arroz con Cammarones - rice with shrimp and vegetables. Nice sauce, flavorful, large portion. Plus we had chips and salsa - would have been nicer if the bowl of salsa was larger - it was a flat dish, so we ate all the salsa quickly. Restaurant just okay. Not very lively inside, dishes plentiful, but just needs some zing to them. Prices okay - $50 without any drinks. read more

Amazing every single time. I just recommend that you go there hungry like I always do. Being a fat kid is great!

Got food delivered and seemed good overall. Tasty enchiladas. But we got an appetizer pollo rollo and I found a long black hair in it, disgusting. It wasn't mine or my boyfriends. You should really be more careful with food prep it was a huge turn off and nauseating. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! First time there and the food was amazing and authentic. Prices are super reasonable and portions are huge! The picture doesn't even do justice for how much food we got. They make everything from scratch and you could tell, the salsa verde was to die for. Everything tasted super fresh. Don't listen to the negative reviews for this place, they must have been at a different establishment! I love the feel of this place, we sat on the more restaurant side, not the bar side. The whole place is completely decorated with Mexican themes and music. Place was nice and Waitress was friendly and attentive and we got seated right away. You must try this place read more

I WAS a regular. After the pandemic the food just wasn't as good.

Friendly employees with a sense of urgency. Queso Dip was very tasty with the complimentary tortilla chips, unlike other places, you could taste the jalapenos. I had a combo 20, which was a large portion big enough for two, but I powered through it :) My husband had the Rancho Chico Burrito and it was definitely appropriately priced for the size, as it was also sized for two people. It may be odd to review, but their mix of diet coke was balanced well...not too much syrup and not too much carbonation. I don't remember much about the atmosphere, because I was focused on the food. I will definitely go back. read more

Time to update my perspective of Rancho Chico. I've been here quite a few times since my first review. Service has stepped up their game as well as the quality of there food. I really like their shredded chicken Paso chimichanga. As well as their black bean soup, it's very light and filling. Margaritas are always refreshing and tasty. read more

Been here many times, but this is my first review. Service is good and fast. The food is tasty and hot! No matter what you order, you really can't go wrong! The bar area has many seats at the bar, as well as high top tables from 2 people to 5 or so people. They have a few large tvs so there's plenty to entertain you if you want to sit at the bar. Three other areas with many tables. Looks like the decor has been refreshed recently. One of my fav places is I'm craving Mexican food! read more
