    We went here for a family birthday lunch during the weekend and I really enjoyed our experience. The hostess was very friendly and quickly got our tables ready since we had a huge party. There was already salsa and water starting to arrive at our table when we were almost finished getting seated. Our server was seriously fantastic. So personable, very attentive, and honestly did just a great job. The restaurant itself has a nice bar & grill feel to it mixed in with it definitely being in Kansas City (Chiefs and Royals décor). There are TONS of TV's in here too. The menu is almost too big, and has a great selection of items including daily specials every day of the week. The chips and salsa were decent. The chips were perfectly cooked but the salsa was too sweet with not enough spice. Flavor was ok though. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Wrap with Rancho Grande dip smothering it. The burrito/chicken wrap was massive and packed with flavor. I loved what I ordered and was really impressed. Overall, I thought our service and our food were 10/10 and made for a wonderful dining experience here. I hope I get the chance to come back here and try something else!

    Chips and two of the most disappointing dips I have ever eaten
    John M.

    To start out, I'm going to say the service was fine. The lady was attentive and was kind and helpful. That, however, is where the good ends... We started out with the complimentary chips and salsa, which was lackluster. Basically, tomato soup watered down with onions and no flavor to speak of. We asked if they had another salsa, maybe a hot salsa, which they brought out and was also found to be a disappointing mix of the first salsa with jalapeño seeds in it. We then decided, "Let's get some cheese dip it can't be worse than this." I ate my words faster than I would ever eat that dip. It was not queso as the menu suggested but was instead Velveeta with BBQ pork and some tomatoes. I would advise against it unless you have been drinking already. Oh yeah, and the bottom half of the chips .. stale or rancid, I can never tell the difference but stale fits. Well then, we made it to our main course which was for me, the Torito Bravo a combo plate of unseasoned beef taco, disappointing unseasoned beef enchilada, and a pork tamale that was also, you guessed it... unseasoned .. or at least tasted like nothing. My date ordered the Street Taco Dinner and found her "street tacos" were mostly onion and cilantro, and the meat tasted like it was seasoned with a standard steak seasoning. Combine that with the fact that it was greasy, and it too ended up with the gold star of "please never again." Both dinners came with refried beans, which i assume came from a can and rice that I assume came from a box with how bad they tasted. The ambiance is something I wouldn't really bring up except to say this... if you go out to eat and most of the people eating there are not, in fact, the folks that the food is known for (ie mostly white people) its probably not the best representation of the food being served. This place serves "Mexican food" made for white people. Tldr: Do not eat here if you value your taste buds. I will not be returning here.

    Street tacos el pastor

    Everyone here was super friendly. The food tasted great. The chips and salsa were really good. I got the el pastor street tacos. The thing that knocked down the stars was how small the tacos were! Normally they are larger and should take up more of the plate than the beans and rice. I felt pretty disappointed since that is my favorite part. It tasted great but why were they so small?! Sad but good. Everything else was fine.

    Sad little taco.

    I'm just wondering why this place is usually packed?? But if people seem to enjoy it, good for them. It's a large "Mexican" restaurant off the main path of other mediocre restaurants. Maybe a neighborhood thing?? I honestly don't think as many people want to/know how to cook anymore, and don't have many expectations when it comes to flavorful food. We came mostly to meet friends but good food should bring people together, not ready to head home with stomach cramps. That being said. These are only my thoughts... Festive atmosphere. Staff seems great! Nicely greeted. Table already had chips and salsa on the table. Sadly, the chips were very bland, half taco shells. And the salsa was like red tomato water. No bulk. So of course we had to dress up the stale chips with Gauc and Queso cheese dip. Cheese dip was great!! It's the only thing that helped me get the tacos down. Gauc was helpful too. As for the tacos... fried, greasy (like five napkins greasy for four tacos) corn torts with flavorless meat. Again saturated shell. Shred lettuce. Sprinkled cheese. (At least it's wasn't powdered!! OMG!) No onions, seasoning? I realize businesses want to cut down on cost but damn. I think making a good meal, specially on Taco Tuesday, would be a businesses first priority. But again, it's been my observation that many don't have high expectations when it comes to good food anymore. I mean the lines around the local fast foods are telling. Our server "Vanessa"... you know who you are, was great! I guess she likes the powdered cheese tacos. Has them with her dad. And that's wonderful!! Good moments. Everyone likes something different. But when spending money while eating out, we just like to feel like it was money well spent. I hadn't taken any pix so the one below will have to suffice. Happy Eating...!!!

    Rancho is one of my FAVORITE places to eat in liberty mo. The service is usually pretty good especially on the bar side. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. The guy that brings the chips and salsa is always really nice too. The food comes out fast and they have good daily specials as far as happy hour. Watch out cause their margaritas are cheap and STRONG!! Always a go to for my boyfriend and I on date night

The inside of the restaurant is classic industrial, cozy, super casual, and has a fun upbeat vibe. Everyone serving in the restaurant at all different levels is very kind and friendly. When we sat down, we were brought the typical basket of tortilla chips, along with their homemade salsa... And an extra surprise was there Mini bowl of queso dip. It was creamy and yummy. The salsa wasn't as spicy as we prefer, but it was decent. Our sever took our drink rider which were margaritas. They have a very long list of all types of flavors of margaritas... Are you in the mood, this is a place to go! They also offer three different sizes in the margaritas, plus a ton of other drinks as they have a very large bar. It was a Saturday night, so It was pretty crowded, but there was not a wait for a table. Our waitress brought back our margaritas, but it took her over 35 minutes to get to our table to even take our dinner order. At least they brought us three baskets of chips to hold us over! After a little over a half hour, she came back to our table and asked us if we were still waiting for our food... We explained to her that she never actually took our dinner order to begin with. We ordered street tacos and jalepeno cream cheese ans chicken enchiladas... black beans and rice. Everything was tasty. We were starving at this point because it was almost an hour when our food arrived. She apologized for forgetting about us in between the tables served before us... It was worth it... however, we will order for take out next time. Waiting at our table and having 30 min between a margarita and a meal was too long for our liking.

My wife ordered a Chicken Chimichanga and I ordered a Grande Ensalada. 2-3 minutes later, our food was already being brought out. What? Well, you might as well call mine a taco salad in a shell. 80% of it was unseasoned precooked hamburger that was lukewarm at best, beans that tasted like they were straight out of a can, cheese and fresh shredded lettuce. Absolutely no seasoning and used the chip salsa for putting it on top for flavor. All the veggies seemed fresh, but with no seasoning in the hamburger which made the whole dish, just blah. The chicken chimichanga had lots of chicken in it, but it also had no seasoning whatsoever and was just smothered with cheese. How waiter spent more time sitting with her BF in a booth that a coworker had to take our payment. We will not be back!

The boy who made my food was perfectly nice, finished up my food, and sent me in to the cash register. He turns around and starts heading towards the back wall, when his manager intercepts him and starts YELLING at him, at which point the girl at the register starts to JOIN IN, absolutely berating him for not immediately cleaning his station!! He was hardly able to get a word in to point out that he was heading towards the wall to GRAB A CLOTH so that he could clean his station! The fact that this kids manager AND one of his fellow employees would behave this way towards a coworker is absolutely abhorrent to me.
