Very pleased with seating, loved that it was outdoors but covered with a heater. Server was great, friendly, professional and energetic. Food was super, chicken tortilla soup is a new "go to", flour tortilla tacos were outstanding and salmon was perfection. Drinks were just right, overall, experience was very pleasing. Parking can be a little tough so allow enough time to make that happen.

We very much enjoy the food, the ambience and the service at Rancho Cantina. In particular the large amount of outdoor seating and the vegetarian options are big pluses.

Dishes are great. The Tortilla Soup is wonderful. The guacamole could use more spices, otherwise it's average. Burritos could be shared by 2 people. Have yet tried the fajitas. Will be back to try other dishes. Avery is the BEST server. We LOVE HIM!!
