    The most amazing Food in Santiago hands down. This is genuine Dominican food made impeccably. My favorite hidden gem in Santiago. This is a must go to every time i travel to the Dominican Republic. They have an amazing buffet area and you can sit down anywhere to enjoy your meal. Both couples and families can enjoy the scenery. I definitely recommend this restaurant as one of the best in Santiago.

    You're paying for the atmosphere. Me personally, the best thing in an authentic Dominican restaurant SHOULD NOT be the ribs and French fries. Close second but not the best thing in a restaurant. OVERPRICED. The atmosphere of the place and decorations are nice. Ended up at a national supermarket to get dinner.

    Ideal stop over for flavorful dishes and gastronomic introduction when landing at STI Santiago Internatinal Airport Dominican Republic...STI is worth landing on the island even with the 2hr or so drive into Santo Domingo!!

    The food was okay, the ambiance was really nice. Our food came out cold and we had to send it back. Dont recommend the pasta. We’ve gone 3 times, and none of the experiences were good.

    Great variety of imported beers, great food, just a little pricey. The service needs a little work, our food was brought out at different times!!

    The bathroom had so much water on the floor after being mopped that my 6 year old daughter slipped and fell down and almost broke her lower jaw. The pork my wife ordered was too dry and it was not fresh. The wet sign was not displayed in the bathroom to warm customers of the wet floor.

    This place gets better every time we stop here. Not expensive and food is cooked to perfection. Service is good and atmosphere is always great.

    Over price food. I went there for their classic roast port and it wasn’t all that. It was ok. The staff ok at time I felt like I was bothering them by just being there.

  • 5/5 Lenny F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff! Delicious food and dog friendly!

  • 5/5 Jackie M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is great!! The food was excellent. The service excellent and best of all, they are dog friendly! As a responsible pet owner, I always look for places with outdoor seating and never expect to be seated indoors with my small dog but I had such a hard time finding dog friendly establishments in Santiago. This place was a gem and I hope they don’t change their policies.

  • 5/5 Channa J. 7 months ago on Google
    had a delightful experience at Rancho Chito Restaurant. The ambiance is cozy, the food is delicious, and the staff is attentive and friendly. I highly recommend it for a tasty meal with excellent service!

  • 1/5 Tania P. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered a paella, they give me a leftover that was there for IDK how much time, some parts of the food were still cold while eating and rice was so bad, margarita salade was just à big bowl of letuce (Romaine) and lemon juice. Food is not fresh in there. And gosh, the waiter was so disrespectful and neglect. First time visiting a restaurant that bad in DR. I don't recommend it at all.

  • 5/5 Carol Quezada O. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant was delicious! Quick and great service, food was impeccable. Presentation was nice and they have plenty of options. Came here as a group on our way to Santo Domingo, decent price, and the space is wonderfully decorated. Nice options inside and outside and they even do events. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Juan C. De Los S. 8 months ago on Google
    Impressed with the place. Excellent food, even for breakfast, with the most decorated and cleanest restroom I ever encounter. I left my glasses behind, but that's ok.

  • 4/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    They cooked the salmon perfect, after saying we like it less than medium, the goat stew was very large and tender, the octopus, conch creole was also very tender, portions very large. The only complaint we have is the brown sauce was used for everything and the fried plantains were not very good. It's ver popular so s bit noisy but that doesn't really bother us after living 20 years here

  • 4/5 Joshua H. 4 months ago on Google
    Really good food, and it seems pretty authentic. It was just a little too expensive for me, but it was nice. They have a small play place for kids which is helpful. It was raining when we came, but they were men in the parking lot with who walked us to the door, so that was some nice service! The bathrooms were really nice, complete with Listerine to wash out your mouth after you eat.

  • 5/5 Desi B. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service and meal. This is the second time that I have eaten there and I had the same level of meal and service. I am certain that I will eat at Chito Rancho again.

  • 5/5 James L. 3 years ago on Google
    I was told to try this place by several locals. They told me that you cannot fly into Santiago without trying this restaurant. Needless to say I’ve been here twice and I plan to go here again before I leave to go back to United States. The food is amazing and I recommend that everyone come here to try to food.

  • 5/5 Luz K. 4 years ago on Google
    Love love love it. What an amazing jewel in the DR. My husband and I found it while traveling the country and whenever we go to the DR we stop by, even though we flight in through the Capital. This time around we brought the entire family and everyone was completely blown away! Thank you for the great service, amazing food and decor. Always a pleasure stopping by for authentic food.
