Rancho Texicano: The Very Best of ZZ Top is a greatest hits album by the blues rock band ZZ Top. It was released in 2004 on Rhino. The title is a portmanteau of "texan" and "mexicano", meaning "Tex-mex Ranch". The compilation is essentially a pared-down version of the box set Chrome, Smoke & BBQ, released the previous year. All songs are original mixes that have been digitally remastered.
