El Rancho Poblano

It was Very Good food at the next door facility, the move, next door, makes it a much more spacious restaurant. The food has always been very good, as is the atmosphere, cordial servers, & prices. They serve the «chips & salsa» when we’re seated, which makes it a great experience, from the start.

The new location looks great! The food is delicious as are the margaritas! I got quick friendly service and can’t wait to return.

Omg! So excited that this place is back! The new space is great. Love the pork! That’s all I have to say about that!

We eat here about once a week and the food is absolutely delicious. Have never had a better taco salad or quesadilla anywhere else. I am from SoCal so good Mexican food is a real find here!

Horrible food, margaritas, and service. Also, the women’s bathroom was locked/​out of service. When I asked about it, the manager blew me off. Very sketch place!!!

I had dinner at El Rancho Poblano this evening with my husband and son. We were all very impressed. The salsa was nicely flavored with fresh cilantro. The chicken and pork in our tacos and enchiladas were moist, tender, and flavorful. The meat was higher quality than other local Mexican restaurants. The enchilada sauces had rich, homemade flavors. Our son enjoyed his Margarita and my husband and I appreciated the very generous wine pours. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant.

Such fantastic, authentic Mexican food and exceptional, fast service. I have never had a bad experience here. The prices are very reasonable and I am always able to walk in and be seated right away. I highly recommend this restaurant!

It was dark and there were no parking lot lights. Salsa was good. Service getting our food order was a bit slow. But our hostess took our drink order and drinks came quickly. Waitress was very dry and never smiled. Didn’t ask if we wanted chicken or beef or rice or beans. Food came and we had no silverware. Food was pretty good. Fajitas size was generous. Had to ask for drink refills. Did not offer more chips or salsa when it was empty. Had to ask for more tortillas for fajitas twice. Waitress struggled with English.

I would give more than 5 stars if possible. Great food, great service! Why would I ever drive to Muncie when the best is right here in Yorktown???

El Rancho is Extra Delicious!
Is it worth the drive from Muncie or any surrounding area because it definitely beats it’s competitors in the County.
It’s hard to stop eating the chips and salsa. The salsa is so fresh. Not overloaded with onions like most. Nice bits of cilantro to keep it zingy. Just the right amount of heat.
We had…
Shrimp and Steak Fajitas — Super Awesome! Lots of steak and shrimp perfectly seasoned with an enormous plate of sides.
Camarones Especial– Awesome! Plump juicy shrimp, huge fresh cuts of avocado, lots of lime to squeeze and loads of sides. Total winner!
Enchilada with Pollo– excellent sauce. My mom loved this!
Tamale with Pork-​rockin’ sauce with super juicy pork.
A top shelf margarita and imported beer… Price was an incredible value.
The staff is friendly and attentIve.
We will go back!
Bet Rancho would be fun with a big group of friends too :)

We popped in for after church lunch (ha), and were pleasantly surprised. I can’t remember ever wanting to eat in Yorktown, but that’s life.
Sure, it’s an old Dairy Queen, but the kitchen cranks out a full menu a la Puerto Vallarta, and probably seats 50. Décor is fresh and with all the requisite trappings of sombreros, taxidermy (?), Indian heads (?), and toy robots (!). Futbol on the TVs and a mix or Norteno and Mexican dubstep (que horible!) over the PA.
Choices were pretty standard, but there seemed to be a few more regionally themed items — the Guadelajara, the Jalisco, etc. Still, the basic taco/​burrito format prevails.
Free chips were standard and refilled, fresh salsa was chunky and piquant. I ordered my favorite chilaquiles and for my luncheon date, carnitas enchiladas. They came out soon enough, and we were pleased with the presentation. The chilaquiles were not the soft tortillas, chicken, and cream sauce casserole I’d expected, but it was still very tasty. The enchiladas were awesome, pork was perfectly cooked, great green sauce, but maybe too many onions. The guacamole looked very fresh, with leafy cilantro and heaps of garlic, but was far too salty. The ubiquitous rice seemed like a holdover from this location’s days as Bamboo Garden. Oh well. Everyone likes fried rice, am I rite?
Service was super friendly, albeit a tad on the slow side. I didn’t find a language barrier, but I hablo espanish.
Rancho Poblano isn’t the hole in the wall taqueria or tamale shack I’d love to have nearby, but it gets a B for serving ok Mex to gringos. Worth the drive from civilized Muncie.

This place is amazing! Food was extremely flavorful and the menu has a lot of options you can’t find at the other Mexican restaurants. I would recommend it to anyone– I can’t wait to go back!

Just opened. It took the place of the Bamboo House which took the place of the Dairy Queen. They have an extensive menu including the back page which is just the lunch menu. They have a full service bar. We experienced just a bit of a language barrier. My wife ordered the Poblano Taco Salad. What showed up wasn’t even close to the description. First the waitress said she had not ordered the taco salad. That simply wasn’t true as she ALWAYS orders the taco salad. The only way she would not order a taco salad would be if the establishment did not offer one. So after defending the fact that she did indeed order a taco salad, the waitress went to the cook, who then came out to the table to explain to her how to order from the menu. Always good to know! Eventually she received her taco salad, but it was way after the rest of us. Thirty two years of being married and now I find out she just learned how to read and order from a menu. Who knew?
The food was good, and arrived hot. Two types of salsa for the chips, regular and mild. There might be a hot, but those days are behind me now.
I sincerely hope the restaurant makes it. It seems like an odd venue for a restaurant with such an extensive menu. Prices are on the high side for Yorktown, IN. Lunch specials went for 5.29 for the Speedy Gonzales to 8.99 for the Steak Fajitas. Dinner prices 10 to 15 dollars.
