“ Rancho Fresco brings Mexican flavors to life with its delicious homemade tortillas and fresh ingredients. Their tacos are a standout, with warm, soft tortillas that are made in-house daily. Beyond the amazing food, their staff is always very friendly. They also have a center bar in the middle of the restaurant, if that is your scene. You would think a center bar might be a distraction, but it really isn't. One thing that always cracks me up, is you first start with the person rolling out your homemade tortilla. You tell them what you want, they grab the appropriate size ball of dough and ask you what kind of meat. The funny thing is, the person pulling your tortilla off the cast iron comal is not the same person rolling out the dough. So you always get asked twice what kind of meat. I have no clue why the first person asks what kind of meat since they don't let the person 6' away know what kind of meat I would like. That being said, go there for the tortillas if nothing else. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ We went for drinks and they were all amazing! Apart from not having any sugar for the rim, it was all perfect! Service was alright! The other customers at the bar were a little loud but that's expected at a bar! $40 for the 3 drinks! There was a lot of space in the building, even a stage in the corner, but only the bar was full! ”
“ We were greeted when we walked in. They make your tortillas rite there as you order no pre packed. I had the carnitas they were pretty good. Their chips are made there also and you have a choice if you would like flour or corn tortilla chips that's awesome loved that option. The taco salad shells are fresh and are delish not to greasy just perfect size. They also have a salsa bar. ”
“ First time eating at Rancho Fresco and the food was delicious. Shrimp Nachos are very good. ”
“ Came here before our show at the Gallo. Very friendly service. Fresh made tortillas were delicious! Had something for everyone. We had the chili verde and grilled chicken. Both of them were delicious. They put on the soccer game when we asked. Music was lightly playing in the background and very upbeat but you could still talk. Would easily stop here again!! ”
“ Great place to eat super delicious food plus the view is right in Downtown Modesto a must place to visit ”
