My friends and I were looking for a New Mexican restaurant to try, but we were severely disappointed. Everything we ordered was bland. The chips didn’t have any taste and the salsa was old. I ordered the enchiladas and the shredded chicken was absolutely disgusting. It was hard and had zero flavor. The was a mountain of random garnishes on to that made it difficult to get to the food. I told my waiter that I didn’t enjoy my dish and wished for it to be taken back after taking a bite or two. I was still made to pay for the entire dish and was not offered an alternative. My food also came out about 10 mins after everyone else’s, so I had to sit around while my friends all ate. Later in the evening I had a horrible stomach ache and felt nauseous for the rest of the day. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and will certainly not be going back.

First time there. I did carry out and the staff was very friendly. Food came out fast and it was delicious. This will be our spot if we’re feeling Mexican food. I had a burrito that was very full. My wife had tacos which she also enjoyed.

Taqueria Rancho Alegre offers delicious Authentic Mexican dishes. Have been there a few times and haven’t get a chance to try all the items on their menu. They feature from tacos with a variety of meats to choose from, to Mexican style seafood dishes. The handmade tortillas take the tacos to the next level - the tacos de tripa are the best! I also love the flavorful Torta Cubana that's generously portioned, and the birria! The chips and salsa are great, the horchata is sweet, and the margaritas and other drinks are on point. Highly recommended for an authentic and satisfying meal.

I really enjoyed my first time here. I tried their Birria de Chivo: it was a delicious goat-based stew, and the goat meat chunks made for an easy taco with the onions and pepper mix they provided. Otherwise their chips and salsa very above average and good. I highly recommend this place multiple times to try out the whole menu given how good and affordable it is. It's turned into my favorite Hispanic restaurant in Fort Wayne!

Best authentic Mexican food in the NE Fort Wayne area, homemade tortillas just like the ones my madre makes. The tamales were pretty good and didn’t skimp on the meat. The sopes tasted fresh and not frozen like many other Mexican restaurants in Fort Wayne. The service was a bit chaotic, the server was the waiter, bartender, cashier, and busboy. My guy needs help.

Food was amazing, it was very quiet and not too crowded! Food was a little slow especially for there not being many people but it is worth the wait!!

I was directed here after learning their $2.75 tacos are just $1.50 on Tuesdays! It turns out that is only for 4 meats (I believe chicken, steak, chorizo, and al pastor).Regardless, I was very excited to try a number of meats I've never seen ANYWHERE else, very unique. We tried 8 of the 12 meats. Chips and salsa are free and decent, atmosphere is very fun. They load up the meats plenty as well! Here are the 8 we had and my thoughts in no particular order:-Steak - Very solid choice especially for $1.50.-Chorizo - Surprised it was spicy but also VERY sweet and cinnamon, reminded me of a coney sauce.-Al Pastor - Same as Chorizo, sweet and distinct cinnamon reminiscent of coney sauce. My wife loved that about it but that made these 2 my personal least favorites (to each their own!).-Chicharron Rojo - This and the next are both the same but with a red sauce vs green. Very soft pieces of fat and these two had the most heat.-Chicharron Verde - Same as above, a bit sweeter.-Lengua - Diced up very small, pretty good and tender but not my favorite lengua.-Cabeza - This in the photos is the one by itself. It is cow head meat so VERY unusual and had bits of fat and meat and was kind of stewed.-Tripa - This was maybe one of my favorites, unusual for sure. A mix of nice pieces of meat and VERY crispy bits of fat or something and so very crunchy throughout.If you want to play it safe, the first half of meats are your place. If you love different and unusual things, the entire second half is for you. The Chicharron meats and the tripa would be my first suggestions.Last, I will say everything says they open at 11am but today we arrived at 11:20am and they were closed. They did answer and say they open at 11:30am (as if that was normal) and then we were good :)

Music was a little loud but the service was good considering they were short staffed. The food was super good and the staff was really nice.

Absolutely poor customer service, and if I could, I'd give a rating of 0 (zero). From the time we sat down to the time our food came out, 1 hr and 20 minutes had passed. From the time we ordered, 20 minutes from the time we arrived, we had no refills of chips/salsa or refills of water. It wasn't until the bartender saw the concern in our faces, 1 hr after we ordered, that he went back and food came out immediately. Food was room temperature, so it had obviously been ready for quite some time; just not brought out. My family and I will not be returning. There were other things I'd like to bring up, but the aforementioned was the bulk of our experience.
