Customer Reviews

Always good... we recommend the #9 Parrarilla Plate. It's a mixture of bacon, beef and chicken fajitas with pablano peppers and onions. Come with rice and beans and all the fixings. My wife and I order the plate for 1 but it's more than enough for 2 with leftovers.

Food was excellent. The Molcajete was big enough for two people to share and DELICIOUS! Waiter was friendly and attentive but seemed a little overwhelmed. Bar drinks took a bit too long, but we're still cold upon arrival. Homemade salsa and queso are very good here.

Wife and I were passing through town and picked Rancho Grande by the reviews and the parking. Pulled in with a 32 foot goosneck and had plenty of room. Service and food were excellent. If we're ever back through Center again we'll be sure to stop for a second time

It was busy but we were able to get in without a wait. Food was very good and not too expensive. Tables had adequate spacing between them.

I'm from South Texas and feel I know good Mexican food when I eat it. Rancho Grande had delicious chips, salsa, and queso. For me that is half of the meal. The food was tasty and the service was speedy. There are free ice cream cones for dessert. All in all this was a pleasant dining experience.

Very good service. We didn't know what the chili gravy was so she brought us some to try and my husband loved it. I got fajitas and the tortillas were homemade. Everything was awesome
