After searching high and low I've found authentic Mexican food in Miami! This is not another crappy Tex Mex restaurant. Great salsa, fresh, hot chips, excellent refried beans, A+ mole sauce. I highly suggest the "Burrito Californiano" & the margaritas. We did have to ask for the bill, other than that the service was decent.

Wonderful food at wonderful prices. I recommend the North Miami Beach location for fewer tourists.

At last, real Mexican food! This is one of three places in Miami that serve the real deal! What a change from the band, tasteless stuff served at other places. They go out of there way here to serve ony the best, freshes, True Mexican food. All of this with fairly good service and moderate prices. A real treat, right here on Lincoln Road!

Pros: Real Mexican Food, Variety

Cons: Parking, Uneven Service

A lunch visit left me unsatisfied....a half cup of rice in a tiny ramikin...together with the same amount of refried beans.....no tomato garnish on the enchiladas...only lettuce. Mole was good...had to hunt down waiter to request extra sauce. A dinner visit a few weeks later solidified that I won't return. My entree was a tasteless caserol of shreaded chicken....I've had better food during a hospital stay.

Pros: attractive room, avg. prices

Cons: , service

The mexican food at El Rancho Grande is neither authentic or good. I am from Los Angeles where Mexican food is everywhere and this place isn't good as our local Taco Bell's. Starting with the chips, which were stale, the salsa which was less than mild, and the food which had a terrible tasting sweet sauce on everything we ordered (and they guys I was with are all Mexicans from L.A.) -ugh is the best I can say for this place. Service was slow and not too friendly even though we were the first customer of the day at 11:30 AM. My best advice is avoid this place. It looks decent from the outside but they need to overhaul everything else.

Pros: Atractive Interior, Decent Prices

Cons: Food, Service

While Miami is not known for great service, this place definitely has it worse-than-usual. I go during lunch, so it's possible that the dinner shift has better service . . . but I doubt it. But the food is good. I'm a big fan of their burritos

Pros: Food, Margaritas, Burritos

Cons: Service, Service, Service
