Their table side guacamole and their homemade chisoro queso are both also worth a try as is their winter (tequila based) old fashioned or their variety of margaritas. Service is always fast and friendly here whether you sit in their bar or dining room and the atmosphere is the classic Tex Mex style you're looking for. I've been here many times and will be back again for sure.

Out of towner + lover of really good, authentic tacos read reviews to pick out this place…read more Closed Mondays so just made it on Sunday for dinner. Counter order/buzzer to hold til ready. What a find!!! I have to mention the amount of flavors bursting forth before anything else. 1st bite- we were sold. Never said this B4 in a review - these tacos could not have been any better, in any way, than they were here. Juicy and tender, we tried 5 types, the beef birria, goat birria, chicken tinga, chicken+chorizo, and beef tinga. All equally great. Then Sopas chicken tinga, beer birria So fabulous too. Loved every single bite. Small place, very casual with several inside tables, more outside. Sat down for some,carryout for more. Carryout was well packaged- self serve some of the 3 sauces to go to try. Green is avocado/tomatillo mix, red is hotter/sharper, orange (kickin/creamy) good. Decent sized menu but not trying to do everything- smart move. Because everything they do they do extremely well. Before we even left, I said "If we lived here , I'd be coming here almost every week". It's that good. We're both retired chefs and cook at home constantly, but this was something special. Do Not Miss.

Its extensive, diverse menu features unique specialties and vegetarian options, all crafted with flavorful, fresh ingredients. This location is smaller than other Taco Bamba outlets I've visited, with limited indoor seating and patio seating available. Many customers choose to take out. The Lengua De Res Taco was okay, while the Shrimp Quesadilla delivered a well-balanced flavor from the shrimp and plenty of cheese. The Torta Bamba is generously filled with meats, pickles, avocado, tomatoes, and pineapple, and the portion size is ample.

Rango' Tex-Mex is a delightful culinary find that offers an exceptional dining experience. My…read morehusband indulged in the "Costillas Barbacoa," featuring hickory-smoked baby back ribs generously coated in a rich BBQ sauce. I opted for the "Acapulco Steak," a grilled New York strip steak adorned with sautéed Spanish onions, green peppers, and tomatoes, accompanied by Mexican rice, refried beans, and a fresh salad. Although we were so captivated by the flavors that we forgot to capture the moment with a photograph, the meal was truly memorable. Rango' Tex-Mex stands out as one of the finest Mexican restaurants we have encountered in quite some time. It presents an ideal setting for a lively happy hour after work, while also maintaining a warm and welcoming family atmosphere. The restaurant's versatility caters to diverse groups, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.The artwork adorning the walls is noteworthy, with its authentic Mexican themes. For those yearning for the comforting flavors of home-style cooking, Rango' Tex-Mex is highly recommended!

Another food runner immediately brought us water and chips and salsa. The salsa tasted a little bland and felt like it was missing some salt or some other seasoning/ingredient. We ordered another round but it was about the same. The chips were great. The seafood enchiladas I ordered were flavorful and there was a great spread of guacamole, sour cream, beans and rice. The plates were served hot and the kitchen had the good come out quite quickly which was appreciated. We'll be back!

Typical Mexican restaurant in ambiance. The menu had a good variety of combo options so I went with three chicken tacos. Soooooo good!

The lengua and carne asada are good too. Only problem is they are not consistent. One day it is amazing and the next it tastes off.

I couldn't decide on one thing to order originally because everything looked so good! I decided on chicken & bean pupusas & chicken taquitos which came with beans and rice.
