The Rancho Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Winchester

2021 - I love this place. My SO and i come here for Margarita Monday. I've gotten the taco salad, both chicken and beef. It's super yummy and hard to finish because it's so big. The chicken is shredded and a bit wet but tastes so amazing. I've had the fish tacos which were fantastic, totally worth the extra money. I get the 3 crunchy tacos with the chicken the majority of the time i come here. Again, they're a bit soggy by the end but totally worth how delicious they are. My boyfriend always gets the 3 beef hard tacos, he's a creature of habit, but I've had them too and i don't blame him for sticking with them because they're really good. I don't know what cheese they use but let me tell you, it makes the taco. I'm the type of person to put tomatoes, onions, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, etc on my taco. But with just the lettuce and their cheese i have no complaints because it's perfect. Sometimes i put some of the salsa on my tacos/taco salad and it takes it to another level. The service it always attentive, pleasant and quick even when they're super busy. I've not explored their menu past the tacos but everything i see come out of that kitchen looks and smells amazing. If you've never been here i highly recommend trying it.

Edit: 8/30/22 This place is still amazing as ever. Had fish tacos yesterday and actually took a picture before I devoured them. Hot tip, if you like heat, ask for the homemade hot sauce. It's different every time but it's always very hot and we love it. I've tried a few other items from the menu. The Enchilada Suiza is delicious. I love how the pickled onions pair perfectly with the tomatillo sauce. The Tacos De Pollo Asada is more than you can eat in one sitting and amazing as well. I will come back with more updates...

Enjoyed our first visit two weeks ago so much that we returned today and will never go back. I ordered a FRIED chimichanga and was given an unfried one. I can accept that - and happily eat it. However, when it was placed before me I asked the young lady if it was fried, and she replied with a big smile "yes." I don't think she understood because our server appeared. I asked him and he also said "yes." The tortilla was obviously NOT fried. I questioned this again and was told the cheese on top made it soft. No. I restated to the server, "You are telling me this is fried?" Was again lied to. After three times the server said he could have it cooked more. That's not the problem. The problem is the lie. I thanked him to make him go away. I ate part of the unfried chimichanga. Our server had another server come to refill our drinks. At the end of the meal our server brought our check. He waited as I looked it over and noticed the name of the server was Jona. I asked if that was his name. He said "no." I asked him his name. He told me. He then told me he would take the check back and get us a discount. No thank you. I rounded the bill up to the nearest dollar, paid that amount, and left. I do understand that orders occasionally come out incorrectly, and I would have been understanding if I had not be repeatedly treated like an idiot. And further insulted that once I knew the servers name, he offers a discount. Pathetic. And an even more troubling thought entered my mind after I left. If this is what they pull RIGHT TO YOUR FACE, what in the world are they doing out of view in...

This is our go-to for Mexican food here in Winchester. We are normally here during the regular busy hours. Tonight we got in about an hour before closing and I was just disappointed. The waiter was friendly and spoke English very well, at first. I'm not sure if it was the hour or inflation but the normal chips and salsa didn't come, I know its offered free, but what did come was about half of the normal quantity. And it was different, watery... maybe someone new prepared it. So, I got some cheese dip instead, and it was also a much smaller serving than what we have been seeing for the past few years. And it was lukewarm, you know... chunky. I mentioned this to the waiter and suddenly he didn't speak English any more. At least not until time for the check. I ordered the Texas Fajitas and the meats were good, the rest was burnt. I meant burnt, shriveled up and sooty. It almost felt like it was new food added to a dirty dish. The wooden plate the hotplate was sitting on looked to have the remains of several prior diners still on the edges of it and the little mitt on the handle of the hotplate was absolutely disgusting. I love this place and hope it was just an off experience for me so thats why the 3 stars instead on no stars. It usually is a very good experience. One thing is certain, I'm not going...
