Rancho Viejo Mexican Grill & taco shop

The food is good, but don’t try to order anything after 8pm. They accepted and confirmed our order on DoorDash, then a half hour later cancelled our order. This has happened twice, that we tried to order food after 8pm and apparently they close their kitchen early. Even though it says they are open until 9, they are not serving food. They need to update their hours and they need to not accept orders they can’t fulfill.

Best tasting authentic Mex food I've found in area. I had the Menudo, it was excellent, only needed more homeny for me, but flavor was top notch. Husband had green chillaquiles, excellent. Beans and rice were good too.

Had a bad experience here recently. I ordered a few catering party trays and was told by the manager that delivery to the beach would be no problem. They even took the order and payment without hesitation. I called the day before the event just to confirm only to be told they’re no longer delivering because I “didn’t spend enough.”

What? If that was an issue, why take the order and money in the first place? And worse when exactly were they planning to tell me that they had changed their mind?

This place used to be one of my favorites but it’s been going downhill fast. Cutting corners, poor communication and it makes me question whether the food quality is slipping too.

Leaving this review so others don’t have to deal with the same mess.

Best fish taco I’ve ever had. The combination between their tortillas, sauce and perfectly cooked fish is sooo good.

Breakfast burritos are the bomb

Not authentic

It was a new place we never tried. Good food and service.
Would we come again? ... yes, if ever close by.

I have been here couple times the tacos are so good the beer too

Also your NOT Shauna so don't use her name amigo!

Stopped by for lunch on the way to an appointment and ordered the Carnitas Torta, I always ask if the carnitas are made fresh, and the lady said yes. The Torta was great, and it came with some delicious chips and salsa, I was pleasantly surprised. The order came to 16.00 and some change, more than I usually spend for lunch, it probably was because of the Bottled Coke.

Tuesday April 9, 2024 I wanted tacos. The king tacos are big with a lot of meat. I recommend that you go and try one of each. I didn’t want to tell anyone about this place because it’s a small restaurant. I don’t want everyone here when I’m here. Right now the service is fast. I ordered my food and the wait time is almost enough to start a conversation. I want to post a video on my YouTube qube7958 channel about this place.

Parking: Plenty more parking in the back and easy access.
