Never go here. Service sucks, food sucks, everything is overpriced, and they treat their employees like crap. more

We were looking for a modest mexican restaurant, and the positive reviews prompted us to make a reservation. Big mistake. Cons: Food, prices more

The best 5 de Mayo, thank you for the DJ, the good drinks and the excellent food. I can not wait for next one to come around!!!. If you really want to know what a fiesta is, you should go to Rancho. Pros: Excellent drinks, food and ambience and not over priced. Cons: Little bit too crowded. more

I've lived on the UWS for 10 years and continue to adore this place....the food is always fresh tasting, service is top notch, and I find the decor inside to be cozy, charming and perfect for an upscale Mexican experience without being too uppity and overpriced. Whether out with girlfriends, my boyfriend or family with children, we've always enjoyed ourselves. Definitely would recommend it. Chicken fajitas are my favorite as are their margaritas! Pros: Charming decor, fresh and tasty food Cons: Bar scene can get a bit too much at times more

I and my dining companion arrive around 11:00 A.M We were seated near some art work that was less than eye appealing. In fact it made my 8 year olds work look like masterpieces. Sure it's mean-spirited, but after munching on a couple of the dishes here, you'll be ready to let the acid drip from your tongue. Service is just barely average, with little if no interest in the customer, "hurry-up and wait" pacing, and receiving a chipped glass on my second serving of orange juice It is a fairly sizeable chip and I easily could have cut myself on it if I hadn't been observant. This lack of care extends into the kitchen. The Pop-Over, the name sake of the place, was uneatable. While my Chicken hash had no chicken. My dining companion's fared worse. They could not even finish . Again, it isn't terrible, just bland. It is similar to a TV dinner in flavor and execution. The food is either frozen or from a can. When we went to complain to the manager John, he was rude and raised his voice. Although, it is not unexpected to have management like this in a place that is so sub par. Anyone who has lived in New York for any length of time can name several mediocre restaurants that do a lively business that leave foodies scratching their heads. Why the public can be so forgiving and cling to sub-par restaurants while ignoring those with excellent cuisine and great prices is beyond me. I would ignore and leave PopOver's behind. Pros: Priceing Cons: Bad Food, Bad Service, Rude Manager more

I brought friends from out of town and after waiting a half an hour for a table, we waited another 20 minutes for someone to take our order, and another 15 minutes to get our coffee. The busboys were wiping dirty tables right onto the floor and then the eggs came out undercooked and the popovers overcooked. The service was not just bad it was non-existant and bordered on rude. Won't go back, wouldn't recommend it and had to apologize to my friends for bringing them there. Cons: bad service, bad food, don't take recommendations more

We have gone to many Mexican restaurants and have found some good ones like Mama Mexico's and Dos Camino's. Pros: Underappreciated GEM! Cons: a little smaller bar than I would prefer, but it is a chill place to relax with friends more

Rancho has it all, excellent food (the best steaks are here) friendly service and the incomparable margaritas! more

My boyfriend and I went here for out first breakfast together. It had great fresh squeezed orange juice and adorable decor with teddy bears galore. I had the eggs benedict which was served on a GIANT popover and my boyfriend had the belgian waffle. The waffle was awesome, it would soak up the maple syrup and then explode in your mouth with a wave of maple. crazy good! The eggs benedict were good but nothing spectacular. We also had a popover with strawberry butter. These popovers are the biggest pasteries I have ever seen! All in all, its a great and quiet place to have a good and hearty breakfast. Pros: great waffles, cute place Cons: doesnt knock your socks off more

A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO MOVED AWAY RECOMMENDED THE RANCHO RESTURANT....AND NOW I'M HOOKED. LOVED IT!!! NICE QUAINT PLACE...GOOD FOOD AND DRINKS...ESPECIALLY THE RASBERRY MARGARITA..I WILL DEFINETELY BE BACK.... Pros: GOOD PLACE FOR DATES AND GROUPS OF FRIENDS Cons: NOT REALLY A PLACE FOR CHILDREN more

We never should have gone back after a first dismal experience at Rancho, but good reviews here and living conveniently close let us back for a seccond try. Again, the hostess had a horrible attitude and the waitstaff was discourteous. At least this time there was no smoking at the bar. I would never return to a place who obviously so doesn't value their customer's business. Pros: Good Drinks Cons: RUDE more

Not the typical cheap Mexican joint with loads of bland fillers, thus its more pricey than some but worth the price difference. Marguarita's are delicious and not missing any taste or liquor! The food is great tasting and protioned appropriately. Pros: terrace seating, marguaritas, food Cons: slightly higher price more

I took my 11 year old daughter for a pre-Nutcracker dinner. The ambience was warm and cozy. My daughter loved the teddy bears lining the window sills. We don't eat meat outside the house and the vegetarian options were numerous- always a plus. My daughter's hot chocolate was very satisfying, as was our chocolate fondue for dessert. The only negative was the service, which was somewhat slow- not horribly slow, but slow enough to be a little irritating. I do, however, want to bring my husband and other kids here. I think they'd enjoy it! Pros: inexpensive, good ambience, good food Cons: slow service more

This cramped, bland restuarant's idea of decor is painting the walls yellow and throwing up an occasional picture. We ordered from the brunch menu - he ordered the creole eggs and I ordered Mel's french toast. The waitress then gave us a complimentery hollow popover that was slightly burned and tasted of raw eggs but we ate it anyway. His dish was so small it looked like a side dish- about 2 (he thinks 3) eggs with some sausage chopped up and thrown in. Good flavor but no potatoes or toast anywhere. My french toast was two slices of bread cut in half- the perfect breakfast for a 4 year old. It was ok, but not great. After we were done and our lofty check arrived he vaguely mentioned getting a hot dog cause we were both still kind of hungry.... Cons: no ambiance, small portions, expensive more

This is the ideal place for a relatively quiet and quick bite to eat. Most people will be pleased to read that their menu is much more interesting than your average cafe or coffee shoppe fare. Definately try one of their trademark popover sandwiches. I highly recommend "The Granny," which is turkey, thinnly sliced granny apple, turkey bacon, cheese, and onion. BTW, the service there is ALWAYS friendly and accomodating. Pros: menu, service, price more
