Found this place from a lady at Long Beach Airport, and was she on point! The meats are all grilled on an open wood fire grille, the flavors are amazingly delicious! The staff is super friendly and treat you as if you’ve been coming for ages. By far this is the best Mexican place in the north Bay Area for sure.. n don’t forget to try the beans(only found there)!

I have been here twice already, I love the food, it’s very delicious and very different than the other Mexican food around here. The food always comes out quickly and everyone that works there are really nice. This restaurant is also Veteran friendly.

We love this restaurant so much! We are from out of town and we eat here every time we visit. The service is always great and the food is amazing. I can’t wait to come back.

My son had the wet carnitas burrito and I had the carnitas plate. Wow….delicious! The service was great and the salsa was also very good. We will definitely be back. Go Gaels!

We returned to Rancho last night for our second dinner. I had the Fajitas with chicken, shrimp and beef, lots of veggies and rice, beans and corn tortillas. Lots of food and it was tasty, except the rice. The vegetarian (made Vegan) Burrito with red sauce was very tasty as well!

Being use to Sf and Peninsula restaurants., I have had a hard time after 10 yrs living in Lafayette finding a good place to eat. Rancho Catina was a nice find. Flavorful, pleasant out door seating. Reasonable prices for Lunch. I will be back.

Delicious!!! Had the carne asada plate and it was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning. Nice outdoor patio as well. Would have given 5 stars but considering the bartender spent more time texting than asking if I needed anything else males me hesitant to add that 5th star. Well…that and the couple next to me arguing about what stage they are in their relationship. Regardless good place to check out if you are in the mood for Mexican.

Ordered from DoorDash because I was craving Mexican food and it was close by… and I was so pleasantly surprised! The meat was so flavorful, and the fennel slaw was a dream.

First time trying this restaurant. Ordered take out, arrived and we were delightfully greeted. Our order was ready as the place even smelled delicious….a woodsy, chipotle season smell…mouth watering. We ordered the family meal and extra chile rellanos. Everything was so delicious@!@@!!! I highly recommend this place. The family meal had carne asada, shrimp (grilled perfectly) and moist chicken….grilled onions with cilantro for the fajitas. All the food traveled well…..sometimes to-go don’t taste the same at home, but this did. Can’t wait to go back! I think next time, we will enjoy the patio and try the bar!! thanks so much, Amy
