About our Restaurant

El Rancho Grande (RG Cocina Mexicana) opened its doors in 1992. For 20 years, El Rancho Grande has been a destination filled with Mexican Tradition in sunny North Beach. Recently undergoing a “facelift” in 2013, El Rancho relaunched with a new, vibrant, fresh image. Our restaurant is and has been committed to providing the highest standards with our diverse food and easeful service. What helped build this solid foundation is our family values, instilled in us, having worked as a family to make our guests feel at home.


Fragrant and bursting with flavors of authentic Mexico, RG Cocina Mexicana brings a modern twist to classics. We serve a wide array of Margaritas and fresh options, like our table-side guacamole. Our food is sure to please even the most discriminating taste buds. RG Cocina Mexicana has always been involved with the enrichment and up-keeping of the Miami Beach Community; creating events and raising money for charity. As time goes by, this establishment has been listening to the community’s wants needs, and expectations. We are a hardworking, dedicated family, committed to making your visit a unique and extraordinary one. 

A NOTE FROM OWNER, FOODIE & CHEF GEORGE RODRIGUEZ

El Rancho Grande opened in 1992 and is located just one block west of the beautiful coast of North Miami Beach. Since then, El Rancho Grande Cocina Mexicana has been the hub of local flare for authentic Mexican cuisine.

El Rancho Grande's interior, designed by the award-winning Hayden Collective, reflects the hip sensibilities of the surrounding area while also paying tribute to Miami Beach's storied past. The indoor/outdoor restaurant offers the choice to observe passers-by in the glass-encased indoor or cozy outdoor seating to enjoy the refreshing beach breeze, or watch the art "rita" creation at the bar with a full screen television for your favorite team.
