The ambiance at Rancho Grande appeared to be authentic. I felt like we were in Mexico! I give our server a 3 since it was hard to understand her, we had to remind her several times to bring us things we had ordered, and we asked for water that she never brought to us. The free margaritas were very sweet and there was no taste of tequila, There should be a full bar by now. The guacamole was very good, the queso had no flavor, and the carne asada and cheese enchilada was average Tex-mex. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday around 4:30pm for an early dinner. And I'm so glad that we did! It's a small place that shares a building with a Mexican meat market store. Service was excellent! My daughter ordered the kids cheese enchiladas. I ordered the shredded chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce. My husband ordered the beef enchiladas with queso. Everything was delicious and very well seasoned! The chips and salsa were also very good! The salsa is served warm, not cold. It's flavorful and has just the right amount of spice. The house margarita is also superb! They put fruit garnishes like lemon, grapefruit, and a blackberry in the glass. Highly recommended if you're in the area or just passing through! read more

This visit I finally remembered to snap some pics before digging into the scrumptious meal. They are always very kind, friendly and helpful. I feel certain if you give them a try you'll be very pleased! read more

Great food! Never super busy but the workers are great, friendly and efficient!! Never had a bad meal here!

Huge cross country road trip and we're finally back in Texas. Sure, we saw a few Mexican joints along the way but they ain't in my home state. After we crossed the Louisiana/Texas border and dove south we arrived at Rancho Grande for a late lunch. Combo Fajitas seemed the perfect meal for me as I wanted something heavy enough to last those last miles home.GF tackled her Tostada Plate while I made my first Beef taco with all the usual condiments. Nice flavors with the grilled onions. Buddy is tackling his HUGE Chimichanga smothered in Queso while I made my second taco with Chicken. Did I mention I got Shrimp with Lime Butter Sauce to dip in?? And I couldn't make up our my mind so a Shrimp Enchilada too. Still picking and made another taco! Finally getting full; great service start to finish. I haven't yet but should mention the salsa served with the chips. Some of the best I've ever had with a hint of chili powder. Did I have enough fuel or did I eat too much and want a nap? We made it home just fine. Highly recommended! read more

Not authentic Mexican food, food not flavor. Not real aguas frescas, good service and place

Service and ordinary Tex-Mex food! Many better places to eat in Jacksonville. Go anywhere else! read more

Ate here on way home from weekend trip. Did a search on Yelp and found one with good reviews. Unsuspecting from street but oh so good! We loved the queso, warm ranchero style sauce served with chips. Homemade tortillas that butter just melted on. I had veggie tostada and hubs had fajitas. Will mark this place to visit again. Staff were great as well. Friendly and good service. Inside is traditional Mexican furniture and decor. Cute stop! read more

Great food. Great service. Restaurant was clean. The booth where I sat had an old bench. The springs were poking out. Very uncomfortable to sit. read more

I will lead with the positive and say that the Cheese Enchiladas were delicious. When I arrived I had planned to sit at the bar since I was alone, but there was a very loud obnoxious patron at the bar so I headed for the dining room. I actually felt bad for the female bartender who had to contend with this guy. I stood by myself at the front by the "Please wait to be seated" sign for probably close to 10 minutes while employees walked back and forth not making eye contact with me. When I was finally seated, I ordered my Cheese Enchiladas - they came quickly, but unfortunately were Beef Enchiladas (pictured). The waitress seemed very annoyed when I stopped her to get the order corrected, but did bring me the correct order. She never came back until it was time to pay. This place had a fairly full dining room and seemed to be popular with locals, so I would definitely give it another try if I find myself in Jacksonville again. read more

Best Mexican cuisine in Jacksonville. The service is excellent and the food comes out hot. Never had any problems here. Atmosphere always pleasant. Try out the Bar as well! read more

Nice. Small parking lot, big restaurant. Lots of choices. Authentic Mexican. Great drink specials.

Very good Mexican food smack dab in the heart of Jacksonville. The food here is quite food and the service was excellent. The pre-meal salsa and chips were exceptional. Thin crispy chips accompanied by warm salsa. The salsa was not overly spicy and was super tasty. The flour tortillas were handmade and very tasty. The street tacos were very good as was the fajita mixta. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. The food is very authentic. read more

Visiting our cousins Vince and Kim that moved to Frankston less than a year ago, they told us about this great Mexican joint (he's Mexican so he's picky). WOW. AMAZINGLY EXCELLENT FOOD!!!!!! It is actually better than any place I've ever eaten in Cali or Arizona or anywhere! I seen the young girls working on tortillas and asked them if they made fresh flour ones and they said yes. They pointed out there's butter on the tables. YUMMY!!!!! I've been wanting these for years and no one makes them fresh anymore. I ordered some of coarse and gobbled 2 down instantly! Now I'm envious of our cousins even more so! If I lived here I'd be so big eating these daily . It's definitely candy to me. I had street tacos with steak and everything about it was fresh! I asked if they had goat cheese or cojito cheese and she said yes, but brought me Monterey or Jack or something. Definitely not the right cheese for a Mexican taco if you put cheese on it. Thankfully I ordered a side of rice bec it was fresh and delicious!!!! I was so tempted to order flour tortillas and rice to go in hopes our hotel in Waco would heat it up when I'm ready. Hubby got crispy tacos and enchilada. He loved the gravy style sauce on the enchilada and said it's one of the best he's ever had. I don't remember what our cousins got, but obviously they love this place bec they've been here a few times since discovering it. The sweet tea was so good I got one to go for our drive to Waco. The place is really big so there's plenty of space to hold a party. We will return every chance we get!!!! We all 4 HIGHLY RECOMMEND this establishment!!! Sorry I loved it so much that I gobbled it all down before realizing I didn't take pics. The only thing I didn't like was the salsa to dip your chips in. I think it tastes like tomato soup and I am not a fan of tomato soup. I love hotter chunky salsa. But who cares about salsa when you have tender meat, fresh tortillas, and butter, with sweet tea?! Hehe read more

Came in for lunch. Definitely wasn't busy by any means sat there for about 10 Minutes nobody ever came to take my order or ask what I wanted to drink so I left. read more

This place is seriously hit and miss, mostly the latter. The hits: warm chips and fantastic house salsa, charred and tasty beef fajita meat, carnitas plate, grilled shrimp, fresh tortillas, refried beans, abundant nachos plates (though sometimes with too much cheese), cheese puff because crunchy shell with queso is never bad. The misses: quesadillas - the crispy tortillas are nice, but they can be super greasy and they have way way... way too much cheese and skimpy almost nonexistent meat, fish taco - tiny with not enough fish and no cabbage or proper sauce, Mexican rice - bland and sometimes in clumps, carne guisada - mostly stew, not enough meat, and the sauce is not what it should be (it's made of tomatoes instead of dried chiles), fajita chicken - dry and bland, enchiladas - terrible with, yep, skimpy meat, tortillas so soggy you cannot cut into an enchilada and come up with a whole bite of anything on your fork, and awful enchilada sauces (gravy like... actual brown gravy?? and "Mexican sauce" that has no flavor). Even the non-food considerations are hit and miss - i.e., service is attentive, friendly, and accommodating, but the prices are too high for the quality and the amount of meat in most of the dishes we have ordered. I would once have given this place 4 stars, but after five visits that have consistently decreased in quality, I think we are probably, sadly, done with this place. read more

We were antique shopping in Jacksonville and decided to stop for lunch. First time here, around 12:30 no wait, but parking lot was full, so it was getting busy. They do have an overflow parking on the right side of the building. Friendly staff, free chips and salsa. The salsa came out warm and was quite tasty! for the tomato capital our expectations were high. lol! Food came out within 10 mins and it was so good!! Hot hot hot plates and our food was actually hot! rice and beans came out hot. We were pleasantly happy that the food was delicious and the staff were attentive. Will definitely be coming back again! read more

Really fun environment, especially for a group! We all kind of tried off of each other's plates and there wasn't one thing I didn't like.

Not only the best Mexican restaurant in Jacksonville but inTyler as well. They make the best homemade tortillas and their hot sauce is like crack. read more

Authentic Mexican! From the decor to the clientele to the menu and food, this is not your generic commercialized Mexican restaurant. Service was friendly and prompt and the food was delicious ! I had the grilled shrimp tacos on Sunday, and enjoyed them so much that I came back for the street tacos on Monday. - Both were amazing! read more

Visited for lunch while working in Jacksonville and now this place will be my favorite every time I am here! I ordered the lunch fajitas. Everything was delicious and a large portion for lunch. It was clean and the service was great. The garlic butter sauce on the homemade tortillas easily made this my favorite Mexican food I've had in awhile read more

Rancho Grande - Lunch beef fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Texas

It's great food ambience is pretty generic for a Mexican food restaurant. The menu is outrageously long but everything on it is good.

It got Two stars because of the live table side guacamole option. I was torn on trying this place because the first review was very negative but the ones to follow seemed a lot better. Here to tell you the first review was correct. This is the furthest thing from authentic Mexican food. I wanted to say so bad "you know this is not how y'all eat at home". Seems like they found a niche of people they can just give anything, and they will accept it. Also, first Mexican restaurant that doesn't have beer smh. Bad experience all around. Food Terrible. read more

Rancho Grande - Taco Tuesday "Special" - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Texas

Food was great. But server was blatantly ignoring us. Other patrons got service and she refused to serve us. 3 other tables received their orders before us and came after us. She wasn't busy. No matter our request she ignored us. I've never been treated so bad in my life. It was an intentional obvious ignoring. I can't imagine what I/we could have done to cause such action from this server. Towards the end of our meal it even appeared that we were being stared at. After request a take out container, she literally took it to another table that had just been seated, then decided to bring it to us. Blatantly intentional obvious attempt to not serve us. I'm not sure why or what she was so upset about but to blatantly treat a patron that way is NOT Acceptable. I will Never Spend my money at the Establishment. There is no reason or excuse Ever for this kind of behavior or service. Brenda read more

The restaurant is very inviting atmosphere full of color and comfortable seating. Our waitress was very friendly and even gave recommendations since it was our first time visiting. Our food was made hot and came to the table looking very fresh. The salsa was made in house and was delicious...not too spicy just great flavor! We had an order of street tacos and crispy tacos. We tried the queso flameado and the parradilla plate! It did not disappoint! The flour tortillas are made fresh in house and the portions are very generous! You will be full and satisfied when you leave! We will definitely go back if we are passing through again. read more

Great food and friendly service. It has always been good food here. We've tried a variety of dishes.

Just another small Mexican restaurant but the food and service was excellent despite the Covid crises. Had the shrimp enchiladas which were extremely good. Nice taste and texture. The chips were warm and the salsa flavorful. Did a motorcycle ride down here to explore the history of the area and hunt down a few geocaches. Decor was comfortable and relaxed. I recommend you stop by for a nice relaxing meal!! read more
