Great place to visit. Food was excellent and the atmosphere. Staff was friendly…
All great except I think service can be a little slow.
Amazing fajitas and nice large cold draft cerveza . Nice lunch menu
this was seriously, the best burger I’ve ever had in my life, It was technically grilled chicken, but whatever. I’ve never taken a picture of my food unless something looks funny, but it was literally so delicious. I had to take a picture. It’s called Hawaiian burger. It’s only 11 bucks with a huge plate of fries not to mention the fact that this burger is literally bigger than my head.
Frequently eat here and never had a problem til last night. We always get the fajitas for two and they come out sizzling and delicious and a huge helping which we enjoy again the next day. This serving was not sizzling and the chicken looked like it had no seasoning and the portion was very small. We love this location and love the food and will be back. Hope this was just a one time thing.
The food was great the service was not I ordered a margarita it came with no salt I let it pass so when I ordered the server a young curly haired kid asked if I wanted a double I said yes.

I didn’t tip paid my bill and won’t be back. Calling store manager to voice my concerns tomorrow keep you posted. Food was great. Less
I enjoyed it very much for a traditional gringo style Mexican. No offense to them. They make what their customers want. And they do a great job. Good bar selection too. Fast service.
Alway, good food and service in any of their places of business
Hawaiian Fajitas are delicious. I can't seem to order anything else.
It's really a nice place to eat with a friendly staff. Very clean. Food and drinks are delicious!
Fast hot food but no refill and took 30 minutes to get Our bill
Portions was small,but good. Not for the price.
The best!!!
Food was great my only problem they served the end of the bag of chips which they should never do that unless children of 4/ 5 yrs of age are at the table which there was not but yes the food was great
Fast service...great tasting food...good value...festive atmosphere
I love the 5 star decor design 😍
First time trying this restaurant and it will be the last. The salsa tasted like it came out a can. The food was BLAND at best. The language barrier made the experience even worse. The waitress we had was very pushy and made us feel rushed. I didn’t expect amazing Mexican food from a place in Kentucky but it’s like they wasn’t even trying to season the food. Save you money and go to Taco Bell.
First time visit from out of town and 1st impression is the food was the best authentic Mexican I've ever had!!! Was delicious!!
ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE AT RANCHO GRANDE!! Food was good. Service was terrible!! Had to physically wave down our waiter for water and drink refills as he passed our table frequently. Very disappointed!
By far the worst service I have ever received at a restaurant. All of our party’s orders came out wrong MULTIPLE times and the serves were extremely rude. If I could have given zero stars I would have. Highly do NOT recommend this restaurant since it is under new management.
Friendly staff, great food.
Love this place. Great food
Guacamole dip is a bit lacking on flavor. Cheese dip is thick and delicious. Tacos carnitas are amazing with the dark sauce and lime, but otherwise, would also be lacking on the flavor I've come to expect from carnitas. Steak fajita was good and the veggies were perfectly cooked. Salsa is in house and very fresh! Rice is super buttery...maybe a little too much. Beans are very good and have a rich... More

Love the Chile poblanos. My favorite! Good margs too
Bought these tacos here and OMG THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I would recommend if you like anything Mexican.
I great I just don't like Mexican.
Good service, great margaritas!

Will not go back. This is not how you run a business. Less
Stay away! Servers have NO idea what happy hour specials are going on. Quoted wrong prices, then present you with full price bill. Take zero responsibility for mistakes and then argue with you! Our server laughed at us and threatened to call the police. Unbelievable, this is a absentee owner and the animals are running the circus. Just read the reviews.
The food is good but this place has gone down hill majorly in the service department. I ordered carryout online and when I completed my order I was quoted 15 minutes on pickup time. 20 minutes later I arrived at the store and they hadn't even taken my order off the tablet. 35 minutes later they hand me my order with no side plates (rice and beans).

Do yourself a favor and drive the extra 15 minutes to Newport and eat at Rio Grande. Less
Happy Birthday my husband Jim turned 80. We had Margaret, 7, Jolene turned 3 Joan 42 and I turn 77. They gave us hats, desert and sang. It was great!
Love this place. Quite authentic
Rancho Grande is a really great Mexican restaurant. One of the tops for sure in the area starts from the beginning with the decor and vibe. Then goes to really big menu we ended up with a chimichanga and it's really amazing four meat burrito. The fillings were great the sauces were great, and the sides were great. Highly recommend.
I went with a friend and ordered the Quesadilla Grande. It was too salty, and the center was watery. It's literally the worst meal I had eaten.
My daughter and I went for lunch. I ordered the ground beef chimichanga meal, as always. It arrived hot. The first bite I took, I told my daughter it didn’t taste right. I opened it up to take a look at the beef, only to find pink ground beef. It was undercooked. Our server never returned to check on us.

I opened it up to take a look at the beef, only to find pink ground beef. It was undercooked. Our server never returned to check on us. So when he finally decided to bring our check, I politely explained to him that the meat was raw. He sent the manager over to see what was wrong with my food. The manager basically laughed at me, and told me that beef has “color” to it, and the cooks check meat temperatures. He took my plate, with my entire chimichanga still on it, and told our server to tell me I was not telling the truth. I was forced to pay for a meal that was sent back and raw. I was told that the meat had been served to all of the customers that day……..DO NOT EAT THERE!!! Less
This place just served my wife undercooked beef. When it was brought to management's attention he laughed at my wife, took the plate and then the server relayed a message that manger said my wife was lying and that the meal still had to be paid for.

Good food and right quantity for the price
This restaurant is a hidden gem!!! Delicious food, attentive service, great music, and just a great experience! My family and I will definitely be back soon.
Decent Restaurant. Slightly above average food, attentive & friendly service.
Excellent restaurant!!!! Stop by and try it!
They make you pay extra for chips if you order guacamole, what a joke. No complimentary salsa either. Go to El Nopal instead, better food anyways.
I can't wait to go back. Service was great as was the food. Restaurant was very clean and so was the bathroom.
The food was pretty decent, although it took a little bit longer than expected. The people were nice and friendly. I'm not sure if I was impressed to the point of wanting to come back though.
Yummy 😋
Great atmosphere. Excellent food, beautiful presentation Southwestern chimichunga and chicken chimichunga. Best Mexican food in Campbell County. Really different and much improved from 5 years ago
I had it delivered so I can't speak to the restaurant. The Pollo Azteca was very good. Very flavorful and loaded! The rice was very good, as were the beans. The chips were fresh and warm. My only negative is the salsa. It tasted like a tin can of tomatoes. Very "tin" tasting and no freshness whatsoever. No flavor, no spice. It was not good, and I threw it out.
They were very kind to my son on his birthday.
Very tasty food, good service and great atmosphere!
Everything is great there. Especially the margaritas. Lol
The best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. I highly suggest the Dinner combo- get the shredded beef… but you really can’t go wrong with anything. I usually don’t eat the beans and rice with meals- but theirs was too good not to! I would have posted photos but I was too busy eating 😂. The server was very attentive and awesome! Food came out quick and hot.
Love it here, food is great
Food was great and our main server was awesome. Though the guy who came out yelling our orders at us was not very pleasant
The food is reheated garbage. We both felt ill after eating there. As far as the prices it is ridiculous. For example if you order fajitas, which is one of the larger entrees, they only serve it with two small tortillas and charge you $1.50 for each if you ask for more which you obviously need and they don't even tell you . Avoid this place and if you do go inspect your food closely and watch you... More

Replaced my overcooked steak. No other issues. I will go back.
This is the best Mexican food in the area. The restaurant is also VERY clean. The staff are amazing.
My wife and I love this place. The Fajitas are outstanding. The chips and salsa are fresh. Nothing like a ice cold beer with your meal. There a lot of Mexican restaurants around Northern Kentucky. Give this place a try.
This restaurant is very good. The food is served hot and fresh. The cheese dip is amazing! The staff is always friendly, polite and very attentive.
Yum!!!
This place is so delightful! We hardly ever have to wait for a seat, and the food is always ready quickly. It is one of our favorite places to eat. The salsa and queso are the best!
I was told i could not use this coupon because we ordered a margarita??? It says no where on it that you can’t. It’s also Tuesday not Thursday. This is the 2nd time I’ve had an issue like this here. Last time they wanted to charge almost $15 for cheese dip. The place has great food, just tired of going to pay and getting surprised.
Great atmosphere. Great food. Friendly staff. Very clean
Service is friendly and fast. Went on a Thursday, so got a 3.99 margarita. Small beer is HUMONGOUS!!! And food is good.
Food is always hot and tasty. Cold beer too!
I love Rancho Grande Mexican Restaurant! The food is excellent and the staff super friendly.
good service, delicious food, recommend the cheese dip
Always treated well by the staff. Delicious entrees. Very clean appearance
I like the variety of entrees offered, and they are reasonably priced
This place is THE best!! Always super friendly and the food is insanely delicious. Great drinks too! Cheers
Everything was Great 👍
Chile Colorado is hands down the best I've had and the pork is amazing.
Best Mexican food in Northern Kentucky!
Great food and awesome service
I go here maybe once every year or 2. Its ususlly not great but its not bad. place always has a slight urine smell. Will eat here again.
Very good food and service
The server didn't speak any English at all... food was okay
Genuine Mexican food, not texmex. I hade Chile poblanos & they were so good they surpassed any I had before. The margaritas tasted weird so I left most of it behind.
No English. Told the waiter 2 times what we wanted… he left another waiter came took our order. It still was wrong. No refills on drinks. Had to go to check out to get the bill. Food was good.. service terrible.
Rica la comida
The restaurant was clean, service was prompt. The spicy options weren't that spicy though, but I know many people don't like actually hot food. But if it's warm Mexican food you're looking for, with friendly service, Rancho Grande should provide what you are looking for!
service is fab and food is delicious. always comes out sooo fast. insanely clean everywhere too
This is a great restaurant overall - cleanliness is top tier, service is wonderful and fast, food is delicious. I have no complaints whatsoever. Definitely recommend the enchiladas suizas! The green salsa on top was amazing
10/10. Highly recommend Delicious and super fast 🙂
10/10. Highly recommend Delicious and super fast 🙂
Service was excellent. Chips were warm and crisp. Food was good. Pleasant, family-friendly atmosphere. Good portion sizes. My wife and I were able to split the single fajitas and still have leftovers.
I seen my server like 3X's, when he seated us, brought drinks & brought our cheCK. We had sat down before a larger family and they received their food before we did an it was 2 of us. Da food was not tasteful at all, the refried beans were watery nor did he get my order or my drink correct. I witnessed every other customers/family get great service from their hostess but ours was horrible.
Excellent food, service and atmosphere ♥️
The food was hot and delicious.
In most part the food was good but they overcooked my steak until
Great food
Fresh and well prepared. Mexican favorites with really good service. Portions are generous.
The best Mexican food in town...and we've got quite a few in the area.
AMAZING food, AMAZING service!! BEST in town and I've been to them all. This is my new favorite 10/10 recommend, I will be back.
Everytime I have been her it's been amazing.. salsa is always amazing and fresh.. has one of the better salsas and quesos around
Super clean, great service, good food, ice cold beer.

Great service. Food was good but not wow!!
Awesome!!
Very delightful experience. Great variety of fishes to choose from on menu. Staff was very friendly and helpful..
Had the Asado. It was delicious. Fun atmosphere.
Food was very good! Service was slower than normal. Wish the lightning was a little dimmer.
Food was delicious and the waiter was very attentive and quick!
Nice place to go with group. Love the fajita salad. Have dinner both dinner in and take out. Also, cleanest men's room I've seen in a long time.
Cowabunga!
Great food and great service.
Always quick service and great food!
Great food.
Jose was awesome. Food perfect and drinks top shelf
one of the best restaurants in the area! Staff is always so friendly and food is delicious and fast every time! Always a good experience to come here
Horrible absolutely horrible ! I ordered a fajita taco salad. I got a burnt shell overloaded with green peppers and onions. There was no lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream,or anything else. Just burnt shell, beyond shredded chicken, green peppers and onions. It was terrible!
Horrible service long waits no drink refills will not be back
Had a fantastic lunch today!
It was amazing I could go for 3 meals a day and I constantly crave it, it is always amazing when I go and good nice people and amazing food.
Pretty good veggie fajitas!
Super fast, awesome service. Great food, great drinks. This is a wonderful place to dine!
Tasted okay but was expensive for the type of food.
Food was amazing, everything we all had was delicious. Little bit slow on the waitstaff part, but they were pretty busy. Definitely a great place to stop for great Mexican food!
Service and food was excellent, parents took me for my birthday and they even brought me a dessert..muy bueno, thanks
I travel extensively both domestic and international and very often eat Mexican food in my travels. This is an excellent restaurant and teh food was fresh and quality flavor. Service was great and the waiters practiced my spanish with me! I will be returning for sure.
Amazing food and service
Amazing! Fresh. Worth the trip.
