" We had an enjoyable dinner at Rancho Chico last night. The atmosphere was bright and colorful, perfect for a fun evening out. The best part was the caramel flan we had for dessert—it was creamy and not overly sweet. I did find my tacos to be somewhat bland, which was disappointing. The service was swift and friendly, so that helped brighten the experience. I must try other dishes on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Rancho Chico recently, and I can safely say the food is incredible. The tacos were juicy, and they had an assortment of fresh ingredients that complemented each flavor perfectly. The environment was lively, filled with friendly chatter and laughter, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The only hitch was a slight delay in service. If you're looking for a true taste of Mexico, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried many Mexican restaurants, but none have compared to the culinary artistry at Rancho Chico. The chicken mole was out of this world—so tender and full of flavor. Each bite was a blend of sweetness and spice that danced on my palate. Add in the attentive service and a beautifully arranged dining area, and it makes for the perfect dining experience. If you’re a fan of genuine Mexican cuisine, I suggest you visit; the quality is remarkable! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the best experience at Rancho Chico! The birria tacos were heavenly, with tons of melty cheese and flavorful broth. You can’t go wrong with their homemade margaritas too; I tried the passion fruit flavor, and it was refreshing and not overly sweet. Service staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the restaurant filled with vibrant energy. I highly recommend the churros for dessert; they were light and crispy with the right balance of cinnamon sugar—perfect! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an unsettling experience at Rancho Chico last night. While I heard great things, my dish lacked seasoning and depth—a far cry from authentic Mexican cuisine. The service was hit or miss; our drinks took a long time to arrive, but my server was kind. I believe this restaurant has potential but they must work on consistency and flavor if they want to keep their customers coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Rancho Chico enough! The ambiance was inviting, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. The chips and salsa that greeted us at the table were fantastic and set a promising tone for the meal. I had the shrimp taco platter; while flavorful, it came with just a few shrimp on each taco. The rest of my party was very pleased with their meals. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rancho Chico is a must-visit if you're in Springfield! The flavors in their carne asada were out of this world. It was my first time there, and I had a very positive experience overall. The staff were welcoming, and the restaurant had a fantastic vibe. My only drawback was that the food took a little while to come out, but each dish was fresh and well-prepared. I’m excited to go back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
