Rancho Cantina, the family-owned Californio restaurant in Lafayette, CA known for its wood-fired, ranch-to-table vaquero platters featuring carne asada, grilled shrimp and chicken, ice cold top shelf margaritas, and ultra premium traditional spirits like BNAAA Mezcal, announced its newest location in Danville at 501 Hartz Avenue is now open!
Led by the Tzikas restauranteur family—husband and wife Nico and Alice plus their daughter Ali— Rancho Cantina Danville represents a continued commitment to creating warm, community-driven dining experiences rooted in quality ingredients, bold flavors, and authentic hospitality.
“We are incredibly grateful and excited to serve the Danville community,” said Nico in a statement. “This new location is an investment for our family in both the neighborhood we love and to build the kind of gathering place we hope becomes part of people’s everyday lives.”
The Danville location features Rancho Cantina’s signature approach to wood-fired grilling: thoughtfully sourced ingredients, and a menu inspired by the original table fare of the Golden State’s Spanish and Mexican Californios.
