" I have a soft spot for Mexican food, but Rancho Viejo just didn't hit the mark for me. While I appreciate the effort to create a menu rich with various options, my experience felt more akin to fast food rather than a sit-down meal. The flautas were decent but could have used a kick. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and attentive, which helped salvage the experience a bit. If you're looking for something quick while traveling, it might be fine, but I personally wouldn't come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Mexico for years, I was curious to see how authentic Rancho Viejo could be. I found that while some dishes were familiar, overall the flavor was toned down quite a bit for the local palate. The taquitos were crispy, but the filling could have benefitted from more spices. I was grateful for the attentive service, as it made the experience more enjoyable. Don't expect a full-on Mexican culinary adventure, but it's still a fun place to have a meal with friends.

" Dining at Rancho Viejo was a fun experience! The lively atmosphere added to the evening. I particularly enjoyed the fish tacos, which were crispy and delicious. The staff was attentive and ensured our drinks were always filled. That being said, my friend wasn't thrilled with their burrito, feeling it lacked flavor. Overall, if you’re in the area, it’s worth a visit for tasty dishes and a great vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with my family, and we all had a wonderful time! The service was prompt, and the food was delicious! We ordered a variety of dishes from enchiladas to tacos and everything was packed with flavor. The outdoor seating was a great perk too, giving us an enjoyable view of the area. My only complaint was the portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected, but overall a great meal and we will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I enjoy searching for hidden gems in different towns, and Rancho Viejo certainly fell under that category! We visited while road-tripping through Luray and decided on the dinner combo platter. It was satisfying and well-prepared, but I expected a bit more in terms of flavor from the salsas. The service staff were lovely and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. While I wouldn’t rate it as the best Mexican I’ve had, it’s definitely a worthwhile stop if you're passing through.

" Had the most disappointing experience at Rancho Viejo. There was nothing particularly wrong with the food, but it lacked flavor and authenticity. I ordered the veggie fajitas, which were overcooked and the tortillas were cold. The service was springy, but overall, it felt like they were understaffed. I was left waiting for my drink refill for what felt like forever. Although the atmosphere was lively, it did not make up for the lack of appealing food. I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone looking for a genuine Mexican meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Rancho Viejo last week and I was really impressed with the diverse menu options! I decided to try the Pina Loca, which is essentially fajitas served in a grilled pineapple, and it was fantastic. The creativity was refreshing! The service was quick, and our waiter was very friendly and attentive. The only downside was that while the taste was great, the portion size felt slightly on the smaller side. Overall, I had a memorable dining experience and will certainly come back again. " (*Curated Review*)
