Mariano’s Hacienda Ranch - gton

The food was very good. The service was exceptional. The atmosphere is great. The wheelchair ramp is very steep, so my partner needed help with that.

I'm used to a different type of Mexican food. Tex Mex is not my thing, but may be what someone else likes. Really wasn't expecting chili on the food. Thought more of a chili peppers type sauce vs actually chili. My mistake for assuming and not asking. Service was good. The Texas Torpedo or what ever they are called weren't great. The breading on outside good and crispy but he cheese filling was not melt and gooey. More set up and firm like a cheese stick taken right out of the refrigerator.

Excellent restaurant! We love the atmosphere and the food and drinks were amazing.

I used to love this place but won’t ever be returning. My family has enjoyed this restaurant for years. I called Wednesday and spoke with the receptionist and told her I want to make a reservation for 14 people. She said they don’t make reservations and I asked how does it work she said yall just come and we will seat yall. There would be a wait if they’re a lot of people and I said that’s fine. Fast forward to today (Saturday) it’s my actual birthday today and I invited my family, the staff had a rude attitude and could not accommodate 14 people and we had to sit on separate tables, which was fine but they where trying to force us to sit very tight. My mom finally got them to add just one more small table which worked out perfect where two more people could sit. Mind you I’ve been to a company dinner and eaten here before with my company never had an issue. Not only that the restaurant was empty where plenty of tables could have easily been put together. I regret not taking photos of how empty it was, but it was 4 not many people where there yet. You can tell the waiter did not want to wait on us, took about 45 minutes before she let us put our order in, half the time she would disappear so my family had to keep getting up to order the drinks at the bar. We where waited by an Alexandra. My brother had gone to the bathroom which was on the other side of the restaurant and on his way back he could hear the staff talking about us. We did not feel welcomed at all. When I called Wednesday I should have been told 14 people could not be accommodated at this restaurant. Simple right? Guess not. I asked if they possibly had a candle so my family could sing me happy birthday, again she took off for 15 minutes and came back to say no candles, and they didn’t give anything for birthdays. Which I would have been fine with purchasing a dessert but at this point we where ready to go, if you really want to enjoy your birthday please stay away from this place. I promise you that you will regret it, I was actually embarrassed that I chose this place for my special day.

I've been coming here since the 1980's. It's my very favorite place. The food is excellent! It doesn't matter what you order. The beef melts in your mouth. The chicken verde will blow you away. Carlos and Charlie's, are crazy good! It's already crowded most days. Enjoy. Parking: Parking lot is decent. Right now you can park on the street or across the street. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp up to the left of the stairs.
