Rancho Grande El Toro Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Vista

First Visit—came in around 3:30pm, quiet, yet hard to find a team member. I chose to sit on one of the two patios so kinda isolated. It would be nice when busy—maybe more of a lively atmosphere. But the Food is so Fresh and made to order. Large portions—look at the photo of my plate—Chimichanga with double beans, no rice.

Overall, everything was fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. We will definitely be...

We’ve lived in the area for quite some time but somehow skipped over this spot. I’m so glad we finally checked it out because its one of our regulars now. Food is always fresh, authentic flavors, and friendly attentive service. My favorite is the breakfast del rancho (breakfast enchiladas) The outdoor seating is pleasant and quiet.

Recently took a chance and visted for mother’s day. We were warned of the 45 min wait for food but felt it was worth it. We could tell they were slammed but it was still an enjoyable and delicious experience. My family left...
