About us

Discover the heart of Vista at Rancho El Agave.

Enjoy delicious food, crafted cocktails, friendly service and all the good vibes. Relax and dine with great live music on our beautiful patio overlooking Wildwood Park.. one of the best views in town! Now back under the original ownership and management of the Schoeffel Family,  who first built and established The Rancho Restaurant here in the 1980's. This  location was also the longtime home of the much beloved La Paloma Restaurant. Now reopened as Rancho El Agave to once again welcome our Vista friends and neighbors.. we look forward to seeing you soon! 

Open Friday & Saturday evenings from 5-9pm, with live music on our covered dining patio both nights.

Today, reunited in business, we proudly present Rancho El Agave, a testament to our enduring camaraderie and commitment to unparalleled guest experiences. More than just proprietors, our team comprises passionate chefs, seasoned managers, and devoted hosts—a collective family dedicated to fostering warmth and creativity in every interaction. At the heart of our venture lies a deep reverence for the beloved WildWood Crossing, an institution cherished by locals as the quintessential gathering place to savor good food, forge meaningful connections, and revel in the natural splendor that Vista offers. We are dedicated to honoring WildWood's legacy while infusing it with renewed vitality and creativity. As we embrace our mantra, "Good food, good friends, good music—it's all good at WildWood," we invite you to join us in celebrating the essence of community and hospitality, now and for generations to come.
