| Comments: | Newer Northland restaurant across from the new
Tom Watson golf course on 45 Hwy. This place is great for everyone. The house special is the #7, Rancho Grande burrito. It is huge! 12" tortilla stuffed with melt in your mouth pork, refried beans, and cheese. Bet you can't finish it! Lot's of great menu items to choose from. You will not be left disappointed, or hungry here! |

| Comments: | HORRIBLE problem with flies. I killed two ON my son'splate.Owner stated she could "do nothing about it,the delivery person must have left the door open."VERY BAD FAMILY MEAL EXPERIENCE! They have lost my family as customers.Of course, we couldn't finish our meal,(flies everywhere!!) and owner only removed cost of my son's burrito-the one I killed TWO flies on!! Owner was completely unconcerned about the situation and acted as if we were an inconvenience for even mentioning the hoard of flies!!!! |

| Comments: |
My family have went to Rancho Grande since
it opened. One thing I have noticed is that when we order our food
it is never prepared the same. I like the # 10 but every other time
it is very greasy. The other
comment I have is that we ordered food for take out and I didn't recieve
the tortillas. I called in to let them know. I was not told that they
were sorry or actually even cared about the mistake, instead I was
told thank you and then the phone was hung up! This is unacceptable
and very poor customer service. I don't think it would have been to
difficult to say they had made a mistake or mention that they were
sorry for the error. There will not be a next time for my family.
Thank you for your time. |

| Comments: | We have tried all 3 locations, and each one has the same consistently GREAT food. Service has always been very good at each, even when it is busy. The most we have waited (as non-smokers) for seating is about 20-30 minutes, and it is always worth it. We live nearly equal distance to all 3, but usually choose the Liberty location, as the seating at the other 2 feels a bit more "crammed in". This is definitely our favorite Mexican restaurant in KC. Go for Taco Tuesdays!! |
