Rio Ranch Cafe

Probably the best breakfast I had, everything is made in house and from scratch. We tried the Smoked Brisket Hash and El Jeffe Breakfast plates. Served with homemade tortillas and buttermilk biscuits. Place is packed on Saturday at 8 AM. A local's favorite!!!

Amazing breakfasts, that provide so many choices from traditional Tex Mex plates to Cowboy breakfasts. It has fast become one of our favorite haunts in Kerrville-Ingram.
Dinners are often busy too. I ordered a 1/2 serve of ribs! Huge pork ribs with a lot of flavour! Might be a tad dry, but judging by the size of the smoker wagon out front these guys know their BBQ. The Brisket Nachos can feed a family of 4. Its a massive plate. I also like the fact that you can do 1/2 plates here with no fuss.
Its all priced right, with casual service that is attentive despite the business. Note like most places they close pretty early around 8:30pm.
Walk in grab a seat, and relax.

I called a day ahead and asked to order a large order really early in the morning. They had it all ready a little early and packaged it all beautifully! This order was for some overnight workers who deserved some extra love! The service was excellent and the food was delicious!

Does the food matter when there is segregatión?
Noting the owners' Investment in technology, I broached the subject of them investing in moving the restroom wall a few inches to allow customers with wheelchair to use a restroom, and pointed out that about half the customers dining at that time had mobility limitations. Would the owners stop excluding their customers from the restroom.
The answer: They prefer it the way it is.

I visit Rio Ranch every time I'm in the area and have introduced several people to their amazing food. No one has ever been disappointed and it's always full of happy customers and staff!

"Was", my favorite breakfast place. They changed the menu and cooks. NUEVO RANCHERO last (2) times here for breakfast was "Terrible", sausage patties overlooked ( burnt), overeasy eggs burned crispy on bottom, hash brown potatoes burnt crisp toast was burned... worst was the Ranchero sauce was unacceptable, not the standard Tex Mex Ranchero (tomato, jalapeño, onion).
They have completely lost the old fashion Texas ranch style cooking they started with.
Four of us have eaten there regularly for several years (All of us are native Texas ranchers).
Breakfast Definitely not recommended

This place isn't fancy so if that's what you're looking for this isn't it. However, the cafe is fine and my meal was so good and at a great price. Would definitely come back!

Country club food with Dairy Queen atmosphere and prices! So very good! So very friendly! Always crowded! Take out is great too! Amazing local favorite.

Food was not good at all we had shrimp tacos and tamales with brisket. Food was 1 star but service and ice were good.

My wife and I went here back in 2021. While we were on a get away. We had breakfast here. I recommend the steak and aggs. The steak is as good or if not better than a big name steakhouse.
