It is always difficult distinguishing your standard enchilada, flauta, tacos, or chimichangas between the various Mexican restaurants splattered across the Texas landscape. It seems to be the bright colors or the catchy names that are real draws rather than the actual flavor profiles.
Rancho Grande was very satisfying, with an inviting staff upon entering to a decent, stomach-filling dining experience. The food was the 4 stars I am entering and just that… 4 stars, for a slightly better than usual dinner.
Our main server (older, tall gentleman) was our only area of mild discomfort.
I wasn’t even seated and I was immediately asked what I wanted to drink, feeling like I was a squeezed-in duty between multiple tables. Meals were placed quite abruptly on our tables with a robotic-like “anything else, ok enjoy” delivery. The bus staff, however was quite attentive with a pleasant demeanor. But the main waiter was juggling 10+ tables and whizzing around without so much a smile. As I placed the last bite of my chimichnaga plate in my mouth, my first chew was interrupted with an “excuse me” as my plate left the table faster than my second chew began. It appeared as if the bussers and other support staff could only assist if he permitted.
Again, our meals were above average, it was simply our server’s overall “vibe” that negatively impacted our experience.
The atmosphere was appealing and prices were fair.
We would definitely “consider” dining at Rancho Grande again, but we may hope for alternative service.

Food was amazing!! Wait on a Friday night was only 20 minutes. Wait staff was intuitive and not bothersome. Tacos al Carbone was juicy, not overcooked. Best I have had! Next time we are in Magnolia this would be our place to eat!

This restaurant is consistently great. Staff is welcoming, especially the man with the cool hat or sunglasses who works Curbside. Food is consistent as well. Tex-mex combo is our go to choice. Great flavor for enchiladas, rice, and beans too. Queso is a little pricey. All in all a well run business!

Food, good quality and decent size.
Only complaint is our waiter was to much of a rush and made my experience a 3 star service

We just moved to Magnolia from Katy, and I was craving Mexican food. Rancho Grande is close to us, so we thought we would try it first. We got there at 4:30 on a Friday and we had plenty of parking. We didn’t have drinks, but they had so many that looked good. We had Carnita Tacos, Chimichanga and Fajita Beef Enchiladas. The Carnitas were spot on traditional with tender meat that were crisped on a flat top. The Chimichanga and Enchiladas were excellent. We also ordered Guacamole that was thick and very good. Our servers were always pleasant and very prompt. We had Sopapias for dessert and they were super tasty. All in all, we had a fabulous experience and will definitely call this “Our Regular” Mexican restaurant.

My daughter who is a picky eater had the Golden Tacos. She said the Tacos served here are the best she has ever had! I had the cheese enchiladas and they were delicious and the serving was generous. We each had a cocktail which were also well made. The juices used for the drinks were fresh and sweet. The service is very good and the atmosphere was pleasant. I believe this will be my favorite place to go for my Mexican food fix!

Rancho Grande Bar & Grill – Magnolia is definitely worth the stop! Noe was an attentive and friendly server who made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the vibe was great. If you’re in the area, don’t pass it up!

When we are in the mood for local Mexican food, to me this is the best old Magnolia has to offer. Place is nice, staff is nice, food is decent tasting. Plenty of parking, facility is nice. Julianna was who greeted and sat us this last visit and was very nice. Waiter was excellent as well (can’t recall his name). The reason for 3 stars is I think it is rather expensive when considering the portion size you get. Also the margaritas were expensive and not good at all (almost tasted like they had an ingredient that has gone bad or something). We will go back just because it is the best option we have locally.
