Restauranteur Donnie Blais launched the original Rancho Relaxo in the late ’90s, and although the Kensington Market location eventually closed, his granddaughter, Angela Blais, launched a new Rancho Relaxo on Dupont Street in 2015. She modernized the original concept, adapting to the fast-paced Toronto lifestyle. "You still have the home-grown flavour and the friendly atmosphere” says Angela, "but now you can take it to go or sit down and eat.”
Being a family is the philosophy behind the restaurant, which now has two locations, including back in their original location in Kensington. “I grew up coming to Rancho. It always has a sense of home to it,” says Angela. “We wanted to be part of the neighbourhood...this is part of my family I want to make it part of your family too.”
The details so far are slim on the plans for Rancho Relaxo’s Cinco de Mayo party (margarita specials, tequila and tacos will be at the ready), but this long-standing restaurant will no doubt be packed for this event.
Book now and revel in the surprise.
