We stopped in for lunch and found this place to be just what we wanted. We were seated quickly and our drink order was fast. Our food order came out quickly and the food was hot. The only complaint I would have is the food itself could use a bit more flavor/ seasoning. Prices seemed normal and the ambiance was relaxing and not too loud.

We really enjoyed this! We recently moved here from WV, But before that we were in Austin Texas so we had been grieving the loss of good Mexican food since leaving Texas. This fit the bill pretty well! Hubs and I shared the large Texas margarita (yum!) and we tried several entrees (patty of four). Chimichanga, burrito and fajitas. All were excellent! Salsa with the chips was very flavorful and zippy. Pico was phenomenal. Excellent service and it was so nice to sit and see the lake across the street. We will Definitely be back!!

I try to eat a fair amount of Mexican. I got the fajitas here one trip and the sampler another visit. Both were fantastic! Service was good. We will be back for sure.

Really good Mexican food in Forest Lake! The Margs were big and tasty and we definitely had left over enchiladas. Lots of parking spaces available and the outside is well kept and nice looking! The service was speedy and it had a normal Mexican atmosphere. Nice spot for a dinner!

Came with some friends who are local and love this place. The menu is huge! I wasn't quite sure what to order but I always enjoy taquitos so that is what I chose. They were not rolled thin like I'm used to, they were more like small burritos, no complaints as the chicken and beef inside (2 if each) was super tasty and actually stayed moist! Rice had great flavor. My husband had the loco nachos and they were super good and loaded up with meat just like he was hoping. Our friends ordered a fajita dinner to share and it was massive. Each had their own side plate with rice, lettuce etc... that's a nice touch! They had plenty of leftovers, we ate all of ours.

My family and I went to lunch at Rancho Loco in Forest Lake. There was no one in the restaurant when we arrived which surprised us since there was a lot of activity at the lake and the parking lot was packed. The waiter brought us chips and salsa. The chips were fine...the salsa was just a generic tomato salsa. There was no hint of fresh vegetables in it - just the plain salsa you'd get in the jar in the grocery store. We were given one-sheet lunch menus and then the full menu that had appetizers, lunch and dinner items, and drinks. There were many options for lunch, and even more for dinner. Three of us ordered from the lunch menu and one ordered from the big menu. The food came relatively quickly and in stages - one person's meal at a time. So, that was kind of awkward to have to wait until everyone's meal came out to start eating. It would have been better to bring it all out at once. The sizzling fajitas were nicely grilled as were the trio of meats (steak, chicken, and shrimp). Although good, none of the food was overly spicy or flavorful. Having come back from London earlier in the month where all the meals we had were spectacular, it was somewhat disappointing - though not surprising - that the food was bland. The refried beans and rice had no flavor. One of my daughters asked for a spicy salsa so she could put that over her meal. She said it tasted better that way. Would we come back again? Probably not. However, we enjoyed the view of the lake while trying a new restaurant in the area. It's always good to support small businesses, and by having lunch here we did just that.

Wonderful Mexican food! Servers work really hard and food is very quick. The top shelf margarita's are amazing. Small outdoor patio in the summer. This is our go to Mexican place!

The place has a nice little setting with booths on the outer part and nice views of the parking lot with a lake behind it. I got the big supreme burrito and I'd get it again. I made two meals out of it. Chips and salsa were typical but the refried beans were, I'll say, different. I can't put my finger on the spices of them but they tasted different, a little off?, and were spicy but I like spicy. Oh and to add to the authenticity, they play Mexican music
