Information:Restaurant name? Rancho Fiesta City?Findlay, OH Location?1739 Tiffin Avenue Type?Mexican Reviews:Josh Woodward rates this 7 / 10: This is fairly average Americanized Mexican fare, served in a casual atmosphere (the almost unchanged shell of the former Chi-Chis). The beef chimichanga was especially good, with an almost pastry-like flakiness to the crust, and juicy beef that wasn't overcooked. Fast service, low prices, nice and clean. There's nothing in particular I'd complain about, but to me, it scratches the same itch as Chipotle, but they have these guys beat hands down in flavor and freshness. Their menu is fairly long, but not especially varied or interesting. I'd much rather see them offer some authentic regional cooking, as Abuelo's has successfully done. The McMexican field is just too crowded.
On May 9th, my sister, her 2 kids, and I ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Rancho Fiesta. My sister ordered the beef tacos, which I thought was weird b/c she usually chooses to eat their Chimichangas, the 2 little ines choose chicken nuggets, just as any little kid would, and I got my fave chicken enchiladas. We left highly satisfied that evening. Until, the next day I get a call from my sister saying she was in the hospital for 6 hours hooked up to an IV. She had been throwing up all day and basically lived on the toilet for the whole morning. I apologize for being so descriptive, but I had to describe what happens to you when you eat the beef at a mexican restaurant. The doctor believes it was food poisoning. I precaution you to choose the beef when eating at Rancho Fiesta or otherwise you will end up like my sister. (Today, May 11th, she is still sick and can not keep anything in her system)
My wife and I love this place. Usually just get Fajitas Texanas, which are great and the Texanas Margaritas are awesome too. I love it. Great food and great service. Never had any food related illness. I assume the previous review from 2007 was just a fluke. Keep up the good work Rancho!
I didnt want to have to post this but I couldnt stand the fact that my favorite rest. in Findlay gave us poor service and burnt food. I should have complained at the time but didnt want to feel as though we were making a scene. We had the sampler platters and of course the chimis that we had we ordered extra white cheese sauce. This experience has kept us away from Rancho Fiesta and I hate that but I did tell the cashier i wasnt pleased with the overall experience and he said im sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. They could have offered a discount or something but NO THEY DIDNT. Just to note that the meat (beef) tasted weird. I dont complain often but this was ridiculous. I hope they make it right someway or im sorry to say they have lost our business of 4 people. I think this is poor business and is unexecusable. my phone number is 567-201-3114
