"Fantastic visit to celebrate my brothers birthday. So glad to see this place still going strong more than 25 years later no hurricanes could stop this place.. We were greeted with piping hot fresh chips with a chunky flavorful salsa as always. Bowl #2 arrived soon after and stood no chance every time I tell myself don 't fill up on chips and every time I eat too many because they are just so friggin good. Birthday brother ordered an Avion Cadillac margarita which tasted well balanced and fresh. Mom ordered a Moscow mule served in a generous copper mug, and Dad had a frozen margarita with Grand Mariner that had a bit of a bitter twang but overall was enjoyable. I partook in an addictive and irresistible frozen PEACH margarita. Yes, this was as addictive as it sounds, perfectly balanced with sweet peach purée and tart lime. Do yourself a favor and order a FROZEN PEACH MARGARITA on your next visit to Pancho 's and in the meantime I 'm going to invent my own until my next visit.. Dinner: Mom and dad shared tacos al carbon which was teeming with avocado and enough for two to share. Brother and I shared two items: first was marinated bbq skirt steak fajitas cooked medium rare and served on a sizzling plate with lots of pepper and onions, a side of typical fajita accoutrement (beans, salsa, lettuce tomato and cheese), and both flour and corn tortillas for wrapping the portion was generous and everything had major flavor. Second shared entree was a new one I 'd never had before: enchiladas in mole with pork carnitas inside holy Mole!!! This may be my new favorite at Pancho 's slow roasted pork shred inside a tortilla, smothered in jack cheese and a savory mole sauce, served with a choice of two sides (we chose fried plantains and waffle fries and both were spectacular). I 'm still thinking of this and will likely be back for another plate next week. Well done Pancho 's! Thanks for another amazing meal!"

"I grew up in Yuba City and remember the old Ranch House. This weekend my family got together for my dad’s birthday and we were initially going to go to the Dancing Tomato or a chain restaurant for dinner. We decided on the Ranch House since we haven’t been there for 20 years and thought it would be fun to go back and see how it is. We were the first to arrive when they opened and initially they didn’t want to seat us because we were there before 5:00pm. We were a table of 8 and we were seated in the back corner. At first I didn’t think much of the table not being set and that it was cold in the corner where they sat us….we did show up 10 minutes before they opened. I would have thought after an hour with us there and the entire table, including two kids, with their jackets on, they would turn up the heater. For the food, if you ordered a salad, it was a plate of dressing with lettuce on the side. The New York steak 3/4 inch was 1/2 meat and 1/4 fat and gristle. The macaroni and cheese was dripping with oil at the bottom of the dish. The beef stroganoff was served in a kids bowl with last night’s meat cubed and a scoop of sour cream on top. The french fries came straight from a freezer bag and the microwaved dinner rolls were bought at Sam’s Club. I felt bad for my dad who tolerated his steak dinner. I talked to the manager to let her know the experience so far was not as we expected and far from it! The only response she had was that they were working out the kinks of the newly opened restaurant. After spending over $200 for the dinner, Cool Hand Luke’s or another chain restaurant would have been a better choice. At least they would have appreciated the business!"
