Cocina del Rancho

Generous portions. I had the fajitas and my wife had the enchiladas. Both very tasty.

Lovely restaurant with authentic Mexican decor. Great value - large portions, still decent rates compared to much of San Diego's high cost of dining out! Service is a bit slow. Music on Saturdays is nice (but a bit too loud!). I agree with other comments about refried beans....could be better. Overall, great value!

POPULAR RESTAURANT Best Enjoyed if you are Over 50, World Class Opera Tenor ... Daniel Hendrick performs live 4th Saturday of each month 6:30 - 9 pm. Come EARLY & ENJOY. A Relaxed Fun Evening .... Not A Concert. Singing & Playing popular older songs & some opera. He comes a long way ... If this stops I'll Take this down. NO COVER, please support the Restaurant by buying food. Food Is Good except Refried beans are Very Bland, Very Fair Prices, Good Atmosphere. I'm A Regular.

Burried in a strip mall, this is a nice Mexican restaurant. Not pricey, good tequila selection, traditional Mexican food.

I've been coming to this place 1-2 times a week since I discovered it several months ago. It's pretty close by, has a quirky, local feel, and I usually enjoy their margaritas and veggie nachos. Recently I'd discovered their chicken tortilla soup and was ordering a cup of that as well. Early on I would order a margarita with a grand marnier float, and they were $19, which is okay but not a bargain. Recently I had shifted to a mid-level tequila with no float, and the price was usually $16. Last week I went and ordered a cup of soup, veggie nachos, and two margs; the bill was $66+ before tip. I didn't process it until later (usually I stick with one marg, so the extra half a marg probably caused the delay!). Tonight I ordered my usual cup of soup, veggie nachos, and one marg skinny, and the bill turned out to be $40 pre-tip because I got upcharged $5 for the "skinny" ($21 for the marg-- apparently agave and lime juice are expensive). I questioned the bill since the last two times the prices were significantly higher, and the manager (who has for some reason never seemed to like me) confirmed $21 is the correct price for a regular skinny margarita. I'm pretty sure I've never in my life paid that much for a margarita, and it doesn't feel reasonable, so I have to say goodbye to my favorite Mexican place. I'm bummed, and I'll miss a couple of the staff there (Luis in particular is awesome), but it just doesn't feel okay.

Great food at great prices. Great service, great ambiance. Great everything!! Highly recommend.
