Taqueria Rancho Alegre

My daughter and I stopped for lunch here. It's our first time, and it did not disappoint. I had the 5 Taco plate (the Tuesday special) and it was delicious. I'll definitely come back on my next visit to Fort Wayne.

Quite quick meals, the time the service is excellent and most of the time is speedy. Lots of neat decor. Food is usually filling a decent sized plate. Very great Mexican restaurant, may be the greatest in the Fort Wayne area

Authentic, fresh and affordable. The food was delicious and margaritas strong. Will be back!

Taqueria Rancho Alegre offers delicious Authentic Mexican dishes. Have been there a few times and haven’t get a chance to try all the items on their menu. They feature from tacos with a variety of meats to choose from, to Mexican style seafood dishes. The handmade tortillas take the tacos to the next level - the tacos de tripa are the best! I also love the flavorful Torta Cubana that's generously portioned, and the birria! The chips and salsa are great, the horchata is sweet, and the margaritas and other drinks are on point. Highly recommended for an authentic and satisfying meal.

I was directed here after learning their $2.75 tacos are just $1.50 on Tuesdays! It turns out that is only for 4 meats (I believe chicken, steak, chorizo, and al pastor). Regardless, I was very excited to try a number of meats I've never seen ANYWHERE else, very unique. We tried 8 of the 12 meats. Chips and salsa are free and decent, atmosphere is very fun. They load up the meats plenty as well! Here are the 8 we had and my thoughts in no particular order: -Steak - Very solid choice especially for $1.50. -Chorizo - Surprised it was spicy but also VERY sweet and cinnamon, reminded me of a coney sauce. -Al Pastor - Same as Chorizo, sweet and distinct cinnamon reminiscent of coney sauce. My wife loved that about it but that made these 2 my personal least favorites (to each their own!). -Chicharron Rojo - This and the next are both the same but with a red sauce vs green. Very soft pieces of fat and these two had the most heat. -Chicharron Verde - Same as above, a bit sweeter. -Lengua - Diced up very small, pretty good and tender but not my favorite lengua. -Cabeza - This in the photos is the one by itself. It is cow head meat so VERY unusual and had bits of fat and meat and was kind of stewed. -Tripa - This was maybe one of my favorites, unusual for sure. A mix of nice pieces of meat and VERY crispy bits of fat or something and so very crunchy throughout. If you want to play it safe, the first half of meats are your place. If you love different and unusual things, the entire second half is for you. The Chicharron meats and the tripa would be my first suggestions. Last, I will say everything says they open at 11am but today we arrived at 11:20am and they were closed. They did answer and say they open at 11:30am (as if that was normal) and then we were good :)

Tuesday, I had to get out and try Rancho Allegre, in the strip near Pierre's and Peanuts. Their deal is a $1.50 taco on Tuesdays with quite a few meat choices. They have a special where if you get 5 tacos, you can add beans and rice and make it a meal for $10. I had to try it, you know, for science. I had two steak, one pastor, one chorizo, and one with steak and chorizo mixed. All of the tacos had a pretty good amount of meat for the corn shell size. There was a generous amount of onion and cilantro on them as well. The beans and rice came on a separate plate. They were served very hot. Whenever possible, I always get a Mandarin Jarritos drink. So good! At the bottom of the pictures, I got to peek at something that isn't on the menu. It looked like a giant quesadilla, but had a special name. It was every bit as big as my whole forearm. They have been open for about a year, and are still adjusting the menu. The owner says there are a few new items coming soon. I can't wait to see what else they offer. Do you have a favorite meat for street tacos? Mine is definitely asada. #onforkstoforks #foodie #tacotuesday #tacos

This place used to be where Guacamoles was located. They had amazing food. So when Rancho Alegre became open, my wife and I had to try it. My test to good Mexican food is if they serve tortas and horchata. Yes they do! It did not disappoint. The bolillo was nicely toasted, the meat was plentiful and very well seasoned. The horchata was ok. I like milky horchata, but this was like a mix they stirred in with water. I tell you what though, they served it nicely in a big, tall glass mug. Very hefty. The rice and beans were good. I have yet to try the other items like the menudo, pozole, birria tacos with goat meat, and mole they have on weekends.

We've eaten at Rancho Alegre a couple times with our (adult) kids. We've liked everything we ever ordered, and they recently upgraded their menu too. I was really excited to see that chicken mole is on the menu full time because I've found it difficult to get mole in Fort Wayne. Rancho's mole wasn't bad, but I am still searching for something as good as I had in Phoenix many years ago. :) Rancho has good margaritas and a pretty large alcohol selection... which is great because those little bottles of salsa are FIRE! You've been warned!

I have doordashed this establishment multiple times and visited once this summer. Always extremely flavorful and hot food, even doordashed. My favorite is the Al Pastor Torta. Combining multiple flavors coming from the meat and fresh vegetables. Dining in, I enjoyed some of their Margaritas that also had great flavor but might have you slightly stumbling when you leave lol.

I downloaded this app to leave a review for this place because it is my favorite restaurant in Fort Wayne. Since discovering this place early in the summer, I have gone or ordered from them at least once a week. I am a pretty basic person and always order the same thing, but the service is always kind and the food is fantastic! I always recommend Taqueria Rancho Alegre to my friends, and have brought a few for lunch a few times. Very much recommend!

Handmade tortillas! Friendly service and delicious Mexican cuisine! The Three Amigos has a steak, chicken, and al pastor for the indecisive.

Food was amazing, service was fast and friendly and they have an amazing taco Tuesday deal, 5 tacos with rice and beans for $10!! 10/10 will come back

Incredible tacos and fantastic price point. You can tell this is a smaller family owned business but it's all the more reason I would recommend. I truly don't go anywhere else for tacos anymore because the flavor and quality is way more authentic than the majority of places I've been to locally. Tortillas are always fresh and taste homemade. Meat is always well seasoned and never overcooked, in particular the carne asada is unmatched. They also have never shorted it me when it comes to toppings and sides, which, again, is awesome given the price being so affordable. It is a small menu with a very quiet atmosphere, but again, it's a private owned business so I am not sure what else you would expect unless you just don't get out much lol. I bring all non local friends here every time the craving for tacos comes up and it is easily their fave spot in the fort when they're visiting. Highly recommend!

When inside and it was empty. I mean, no one. Stood for 5 minutes. Finally, a guy came out and seated me. Is margarita were watered down, chips were cold, tortilla wasn't warm or cooked, food was fatty, salsa had no taste, tamales had barely any meat inside, and they charged us for water. I've never in my life been to a restaurant that charges for water that's not in a bottle! Smh.. Will never go back!!

Authentic flavors and friendly service! I had chicken Mole and that was so good! Very fresh, a little spicy and smooth! They serve it with 2 chicken legs and fresh made corn tortillas. I used every tortilla to sop up that sauce! Taco Tuesday is a wonderful way to end the day. 5 tacos, rice and beans for $10. Tacos are $1.50. Lots of meat choices. My favorite chorizo is seasoned just right. Thirsty Thursday, Tuesday, or any day, try this nice little place near Pierres.

Do not pass this place up. The tortillas are the best we have had, ever. We love local Mexican and this place didn't disappoint. The menu is small but mighty. I got the 3 amigos - one taco of each carne asada, chicken, pastor. The pastor was the shining star. The gauc is made to order and is a steal at $5. Order it!!

The food and service here is amazing I recommend stopping by , definitely once of the best Mexicans spots in Fort Wayne , the inside is a little quiet but as a quiet person I enjoy that.

Best food service ever !!! The drink was designed so nicely! It taste better than it looks!! You gotta try it!

Food was ok..I was hoping for more due to the reviews. It's an average Mexican restaurant but it definitely didn't knock my socks off. I live less then 2 miles away and I wouldn't be surprised if I don't order from here again. Salsa was bland and the quest was below average. I got enchiladas expecting enchilada sauce but it came with Mole sauce which tasted pretty good but that's not what I ordered. Rice and beans were dime a dozen. Tamales were super average. If there is a next time id probably just get some tacos.

Very authentic Mexican food. The price is reasonable, however they do not have a big variety. It's a bit of a whole-in-the-wall place, but I don't mind that.
