El Rancho Grande

After our movie experience at the Lincoln Theater, we drove to one of my favorite spots to chill for dinner. I work at a nearby festival in the spring and this is my hideout a block away...my down time. Patio and small restaurant, karaoke and some big plates! The karaoke can get a little loud on the inside so I suggest the patio if it is going on. Or just join them!!!! Great service +++

Outstanding Mexican and Mexican-American cuisine. The menu was very broad and included some satisfying favorites not available everywhere. Dessert selection was limited. We thought their wait staff was very kind without hovering over us. Their prices are great too.

Anna was my waitress the food was delicious chicken enchiladas the atmosphere was beautiful lots of people waiting is a little bit but it's worth it for the meals you get

Any place that has spicy, fresh salsa gets a thumbs up! Food was excellent! Patio is awesome!

Food is pretty authentic here. This is one of my go to places when I don't feel like cooking at home. The seasoning of their dishes is how I cook at home.

Great Place to Enjoy Authentic Mexican Food.

All the food was amazing! The price was fair, with a full glass of chardonnay $7.50 and burrito 16ish (california) overall I spent 22 for the 2 items but the food and service was soo good that I left a good tip.

Friendly wait staff, excellent food quality. Great atmosphere! The chili rellenos are amazing!

El Rancho Grande is an awesome Mexican restaurant with great food options and large portions. The food was good and the service was very helpful. There was a large indoor seating and a large outdoor but fully covered seating as well. Outside both of these options were outdoor seating with plenty of space as well. The kids high chair was a cool for the little ones.

Went to celebrate a birthday, one of us called to reserve seating for all, we arrive and I believe our server was Gloria (really nice) very attentive and friendly. We wanted to eat all together but not all of us had arrived and she never made us feel we had to order and be in a hurry. Finally we ordered with her help on questions we had about the plates. All food arrived sooner than I thought, I didn't take pictures of all the plates but they all looked amazing. Here are some of the pictures I took, oh and the drinks 👌 perfect, loved them. We do recommend this restaurant when thinking about eating Mexican food and ask for Gloria, she was awesome. Update: 2/25/22 we have been here couple of times since my first update and it's been the same awesome experience especially with Gloria being our server, she rocks. We will continue coming to this restaurant.

Was craving for a taco after ice skating! Ended up getting a carne asada steak! Off the cook! Great food, very gourmet! I love it

Definitely will return. The service was fantastic, the chicken was seasoned and juicy. The beans and rice were fresh and hot. Delicious Margarita. Thanks for putting on the playoff game!

Food is great. The portions are huge. The staff are very friendly. They have a great outdoor patio. Coffee is surprisingly good, too!

Lovely atmosphere friendly staff 👌 and dinner was delicious 😋 overall nice family gathering kind of place.

I really like this place. I'm a vegetarian and the Chile rellenos are excellent. Large portions and the food is delicious. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is excellent. Sometimes the road noise is a bit much but the overall experience is great. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food 😋

We eat here on a regular basis and they never disappoint. Last night was the biggest burrito I’ve ever seen!

My favorite shrimp ceviche by far. Large portion, fresh tostadas. Perfect amount of shrimp and vegetables and the best flavor. Love it

Great food. Exactly what you want after a day of wine tastings. Fantastic burritos, tamales, margaritas. Good patio, good vibes, easy parking. Good people. Service in both English and Spanish is flawless. This is a favorite for us

Five-star execution across the board. The shrimp and octopus ceviches are best-in-class—exceptional freshness, balanced acidity, and flawless texture. From a quality-to-value standpoint, this is a standout performer. Strongly recommended.

Come here often and its always great. 8.50 margaritas a nice shaded patio. Quick friendly service. Love that its near my house. Its a classic napa staple and have been coming here since I was 12 and im 31 now. They have definitely stepped uo their game over the last few years. Best burritos and rolled tacos

The food is great, we were seated really quickly and the food came out in like 10 minutes.

Food is pretty authentic here. This is one of my go to places when I don't feel like cooking at home. The seasoning of their dishes is how I cook at home.

Nice teŕrace with plants and shade. Friendly waiters en nice mexican dishes.

Marvelous meal. Had Taco, Tostada, Enchilada combo. Sauce was memorable due to a tangy taste. Service was quick. Every chair and wall tile are painted differently with bright, cheery colors. No two the same. We ate outside under the overhanging ceiling. It was very warm, yet we chose not to eat inside. If you go on a very warm to hot day, recommend eating inside.

Good food at a good price. Environment is nice even though it's next to a busy street. So if you sit outside you can hear the cars passing by. Service overall is pretty good, but can be slow at times. Overall good experience and is one of my new restaurants that I go to more frequently.

Had a wet burrito. Menu said it would be covered with enchilada sauce but when it came it had Mole sauce. It may have been good for some but was way to sweet for me. Luckily the waitress had just given us a new dish of chip dip, so I doctored up my meal. The rest was good.

Best all around Mexican food and Service in North Bay, eating either inside or patio is a treat with the music and gardens complementing the extensive menu offerings as well as Full Bar selections and impressive Margaritas. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and the beautiful servers. Enjoy

We came an hour a half before closing on a Saturday. It was pretty empty, only two other tables occupied. The waitress was kind and attentive the whole time. The food was ok. Chips and salsa were the highlight. I tried the Chile relleno and cheese enchilada plate. The beans and rice were good, and the enchilada was better than the Chile relleno. They just lacked flavor. The Jamaica and horchata Aguas Fresca were yummy! I'd return to give them another shot and try something different.

Good service, prices weren't too bad. Food was fresh and seemed good. I've had better but this was pretty good. I had Carntias which was decent. Very moist, no crunchy ends, decent flavor. Salsa was not the best, but was pretty good. Was there with large party and they handled it well.

The seafood soup has plenty of fresh seafood. It has a couple of real crab legs- no imitation crab. This soup with a Carona Premier is a nice lowfat meal. Carona Premier with lime tastes better than Micolob ultra has only 2.6 carbs and 90 calories.

No, it's not 💯 traditional Mexican food but we enjoyed it. The plates come jam-packed, enough for two meals, in truth. The rice and beans were our favorite. And thanks for not smothering everything in cheddar cheese. The restaurant itself is super cute and has two outdoor dining areas. One covered and the larger one is in a garden/patio setting with lots of plants. It's a good place to stop after winding through the Napa Valley all day.

Good place first time trying it’s delicious i was surprised when i seen they were big tortillas chips for the chilaquiles

This place has a terrific patio. And food is good and a friendly staff

El Rancho Grande feels like a second home, the kind of spot where the food is made with love, the plates are huge, and the prices make you do a double take. Every time I go, I leave full, happy, and grateful to have this little gem in the neighborhood. It's comfort food at its best, without the fuss.

Food was good and the atmosphere was even better. We walked in to pick up our order and saw everyone enjoying their meals and being entertained with live karaoke.

Food was good, service took a while to take out order, still service was friendly. I don't like the fact that they add the tip to your bill. What if the service was not great? You still have to give them a good tip? I'm a tipper but I don't like it added to the bill.

Took 2 hours to complete our lunch. Service was very slow but they were short staffed so it might be better on another day/time. Food was good, just nothing special. There's another place 1 minute further down the road that's far better and that has a full bar. Parking is difficult as well.

Not necessarily the staffs fault, but a group of what seemed to be regulars decided to stare at my friend while we ate because she had shorts on. The guys were drinking during happy hour, so maybe just avoid going in around 3-6. They were turning and blatantly looking at her and I almost said something but they left before I could. Burritos were good, but did not appreciate the environment.

The owner will only accept a 10 dollar gift certificate at a time. I had 3 but he didn't want to honor them. They don't have it posted anywhere and they weren't willing to budge to help us out even though we are from out of town. I wouldn't come here again now that I know the owner really wasn't helpful In anyway with our issue. The servers were nice and just doing their job though.

Very bad service, employees rude food okat but not all that nit to mention over priced, and they tip themselves to your bill. I would not recommend it to no one myself in general. And the bathrooms omg feels smaller then a closet in an efficient aptement and still giving it to much credit I hope no one with a wheelchair has to go. It is like a matchbox or the size if a refrigerator so you can get a picture in your mind.

We were eating there this weekend and my wife pulled the guacamole from our kids. She saw a Neon Green gooey substance. I asked the them what it was and without hesitation said “it’s Food Coloring.” Needless to say my mind was blown and we will never go back.
