Rancho Cuisine
Family Owned & Operated
Our cuisine is inspired by the original table fare of the Golden State's Spanish and Mexican Californios. By the 1500s, Spanish explorers had adopted many of the indigenous foods of Mexico; 200 years later, their descendants traveled to Alta California where they discovered new fare and, adapting to the local abundance, fashioned a unique cuisine. The rancheros, turned this fusion of Spanish and Mexican culinary heritage, piquant with California's bountiful offerings, into an art.
Margaritas & Much More.
Specialty handcrafted cocktails made from fresh ingredients and a variety of high-quality tequilas.
With one of the few wood-fired grills in the Bay Area, we offer a variety of unique dishes that are only possible at Rancho Cantina.
We work closely with small operation farmers out of the Salinas Valley. This photo shows Bill Barbree harvesting his crop of pink beans.
