Whether you’re here for a lively night out, a casual family dinner, or a celebration with friends, you’ll find an atmosphere that’s fun, welcoming, and family-friendly. With warm hospitality, great service, and a setting that overlooks the Truckee River, Rancho Cantina Reno is the perfect place to gather, connect, and savor the moment.


Wood-fired cooking. Rooted in tradition. Timeless West.

Nestled along the Truckee River, Rancho Cantina Reno brings bold, wood-fired flavor to Northern Nevada, inspired by the culinary traditions of Californios and vaqueros in the early American West. Our unique, open-fire, Latin grill (called a parilla), turns fresh ingredients into rustic, soulful dishes — from grilled meats and vegetables to fresh salsas — all served with warm hospitality, handcrafted cocktails, and a true neighborhood cantina spirit.
