Mi Ranchito

We love Mi Ranchito. The food is consistently fresh and always tasty! Happy hour margaritas are 2 for $7, and they’re wonderful! The wait staff is friendly and attentive, so Chips and salsa bowls never sit empty! The kid’s menu has many food options and comes with a chocolate chip cookie, but sometimes you have to ask for it after the kids eat. They also have a drive up window, for call ahead orders, plus curb side pickup is available. You can order margaritas to go, but they are only available at the drive up window. The restaurant is clean, women’s bathroom has a diaper changing station. Outdoor seating is also available when the weather is nice. Adjoining parking lot provides easy parking. There are TVs mounted in some areas, for the sports people!

Have always had great experiences here. Went to order online on Mother’s Day and as I was placing the order the site said the location was offline. I called and was told it would be over an hour. I thanked them for their honesty and tried elsewhere. The other restaurant was dishonest about their time. I should have waited for Mi Ranchito. Y’all are my go to place for sure. Honesty pays in the long run.

So, after going to Mi Ranchito roughly twice a week, normally for lunch, we decided to do dinner at the restaurant. Initially the staff was friendly, the seats and table were clean. Ordered our drinks and an appetizer. I asked for a 20 oz draft beer, was served a 16 oz plastic cup and was told it was a 20oz. Our appetizer arrived, and appetizer plates were placed at the table but no utensils. Our utensils were finally brought and to our dismay, were dirty, with stuck on food. Upon further inspection, 3 of the five plates also had dried food on them. The staff did replace the our utensils but not the plates. We ordered and received our main dishes but one plate, the Friday special, had both shrimp shells, and crab shells in it. We called the waiter who promptly took the dish and offered a replacement. The manager came over and asked what had happened. Upon being told there were shells in the food, he argued that it wasn't possible. We showed the shells to him and he still disagreed. Upon receipt of the check, they charged for the plate, of which only two bites had been eaten. We expressed our concerns over the dirty plates, utensils, the shells and the argumentative manager who told us that we were wrong and that we shouldn't tell him he was wrong. The manager further disliked being told he was wrong and told us to never come back to the restaurant. A female manager did eventually intervene and did apologize for the event to wish I replied, "after coming to the restaurant on average twice a week, per the other manager, we would not be returning, they've lost us as customers."

I judge a Mexican restaurant by the salsa and chips. This place has the delicious thin white flour tortilla chips and delicious fresh salsa with just the right amount of chunkiness. I had the chicken flautas, my hubby had the Jalisco chimichanga and my daughter had the deep fried tacos. We all really enjoyed our food. Our server was Lizbeth and she was incredible. They were very busy and this girl was on it! She was very friendly and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this restaurant!
