28 Years of Flavor, Family & Tradition
Founded by Flavio Hernandez, Rancho Grande Taqueria Inc. has been the premier choice for authentic Mexican live-grill Taquizas in Contra Costa County since 1996.
Mastering the Comal: Flavio Hernandez's Journey
When Flavio Hernandez first opened this taqueria location in 1996, his vision was grounded in pure Mexican culinary traditions: never cut corners on meat quality, season exclusively with authentic chiles and citrus, and treat every customer like an honored guest in his own home.
Now celebrating 28 years in business with our milestone anniversary every October 23, that same passion drives every Taquiza we cater. From intimate family birthdays in Concord to 250-guest vineyard weddings in Walnut Creek, Flavio and our seasoned taqueros bring vibrant energy and the irresistible aroma of authentic sizzling street tacos directly to your celebration.

Our Culinary Mission & Values
Quality is never an accident; it is the result of continuous commitment to tradition.
Cooked Fresh On-Site
We refuse to serve lukewarm chafing dish food. We bring real flame and seasoned steel comales to your event, grilling the meat minutes before it lands on your tortilla.
Zero Compromise on Quality
From hand-pressed limes and ripe avocados to premium sirloin steak and citrus marinades, every ingredient meets Flavio's high personal standard.
Honest, Reliable Service
We show up on time, fully prepared, with spotless equipment and warm smiles. We treat your guests like honored guests in our own family home.
