Grilled fish tacos
Angie L.

Went on a Saturday evening, it was busy but we got seated right away. The inside is huge and they also have an outdoor patio. They have a full bar so I ordered a midori sour, it was tasty but not very strong. For food we ordered the enchiladas suizas with shredded chicken and grilled fish tacos. The enchiladas came smothered in a tasty salsa verde, but the chicken inside itself didn't have much flavor. It also came with delicious cheesy black beans as well as cilantro rice (strong cilantro flavor so those with the soap gene be warned!!). The fish tacos were so good and were a great portion size for $7 each. Each one had a whole filet inside and was topped with salsa, cheese, and a sweet-ish sauce. I was so full by the end, I'll definitely be coming back!!

This is a solid sit-down Mexican restaurant conveniently located right off the freeway in Cotati. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing spot, but it makes up for it with generous portions, good drinks, and a full bar. The food isn't the best Mexican I've ever had, but it's definitely good, and the portion sizes make it worth the visit. Prices are reasonable and in line with other places in the area. Our service was okay--I had to ask our server multiple times for things, which got a bit frustrating. One thing I think the staff should be more mindful of: we ordered a fajita skillet, and while it's kind of common sense not to touch the skillet, it would've been helpful if they had given a verbal reminder. My friend accidentally rested his fork on the hot skillet and then put it in his mouth--ended up burning himself, which could've easily been avoided with a quick heads-up. All in all, it was a good experience. We left full and happy!

I've been coming here for many years. The ambiance has cool Latin vibes. They have a bar with a TV so you can watch sports and they also have an outdoor patio on nice days so you could go out there. They have great margaritas and delicious Mexican food. And on the weekends, they are swamped, it was on a Saturday night so there was a line out the door. The menu is huge with lots of delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. The margaritas are bomb so start your clinking. Ps guacamole is fire delicious yum Cheers my friends SYOY 03/03/25 review #367

Shrimp tacos
Alex C.

In the days before I Yelped, I went to college at SSU, right down the street from Mi Ranchito. Let me tell you, this was the place to be on a Sunday morning right after a festive night before. Cotati is such a charming town next to RoPo, and this spot is a favorite of mine. I visited some college friends here not too long ago and it brought back a flood of great memories. The interior has been tastefully redone with vibrant colors. Parking is vast, dirt or grass, you won't have a problem. I ordered many things over the years, but most recently the shrimp tacos were my choice this time. Very good! Complimentary bottomless chips and savory salsa are always great, and their house margaritas are also just right. The waitstaff are both friendly and attentive, happy to answer any questions. Thanks, Mi Ranchito, for bringing back some nostalgic college memories!

Combo 3  Steak soft taco   Chicken enchilada  Pork tamal

Big parking lot We prefer sitting at the bar which usually has no wait & the bartenders are usually always nice. I really recommend the mole it's so good. My 3 item combo was delicious Service was slow it took 40 minutes to make our food & normally they are fast. I hope it was fluke. And tonight our bartender didn't really check on us to see if I wanted another drink. We were told once the kitchen was behind 3.5 based solely on today. Food 10/10!

Fajitas
Todd O.

Fajitas and enchiladas were excellent - only thing would be the salsa, it was too tomato sauce like. Service was attentive. Ambiance is old school Mexican restaurant which we liked.

I love this place. I'm new to the area and I'm glad I took a chance and came here. It may not be everyone go to but it's my go to. Mi Ranchito in a convenient location for relatively and has phenomenal food. I love to take my time to try different things each time I go. The overall atmosphere is very warm, relaxing but still vibrant at the same time. I love the happy hour you can get some good deals and drinks. Would recommend the margaritas. Also staff are very friendly and everyone time I've gone which is usually by myself, I always feel taken care of. If you live nearby this place is worth the visit.

Tostada and Chicken Enchilada combo.

Mi Ranchito is in an odd spot - tucked away in a turn, so it might be easy to miss or overlook - but I assure you - if you are looking for some tasty Mexican food and a festive environment you should give it a try! I have been going there for 25 years. They have great lunch specials, a full bar, several dining areas, and authentic Mexican faire. What's not to like? I'm always a fan of their salsa, and really like their beans, enchilladas, tacos, and burritos. They also have a lot of seafood dishes, and I recently got to see their bacon wrapped shrimp - pinned up a miniature clothes line! It seems like the restaurant is always busy and festive. If you are in the area - give them a try! It is one of my favorites in the Cotati area! Delicioso!

I spoke with the manager after my last experience telling the they messed up our order so many times that it was extremely frustrating. The last experience i asked for no sour cream on the nachos i was very clear. Well they put sour cream. I asked for extra sauce, onions tomatoes and cilantro (which they charged me four dollars extra) which is fine but if you are going to charge for it then make sure its what i asked for. Hardly any sauce and definitely not extra onions, tomatoes or cilantro. Looked like the normal amount they give and charged me four dollars more. So the manager apologized and said next time you come in the burrito will be on us and he was very apologetic. He said there will be a note upfront. Well i go in to order some food let the lady know what the manager had told me and to my surprise there was no note and they didn't honor it. They called the manager no response. I told them i was upset and to please have the manager reach out tomorrow. Im still waiting on the phone call.. I decided to still order give them another shot. I ordered my food and paid .. and they still messed up up my order when i asked for no pico and sour cream on my nachos they put sour cream. Smh. Had to remake it. Since this establishment simply cant honor their WORD and always mess up my orders i will not be returning.

As usual I'm a glutton for punishment…read more Why did I return here after all my other poor experiences? Good question. I knew better to not order a burrito that's for sure. I walk in and immediately see only a few people here so not a real popular lunch spot. Looks like they got some new TVs everywhere. Big TV menus as well. The prices here have gone insane. Maybe the new TVs / electricity bill is driving up prices for customers? $4+ for a street taco. WOW! Clearly one of the most expensive taquerias in the area. So I get 3 small corn tacos for $16+ the price of an entree at other places? Naw Felicia. Down the street at el Pacifico is like $1.50 street tacos on Tuesday, $5 burritos on Thursday. Still wanting to find some salvation in this place, I stayed and ordered a Birria taco & a beer and it was $15 yikes! Ok so I did it anyway. I wait for the food and see lots of people order larger orders after me get called up to get those food but I'm still waiting. Ask someone and they bring it out to me hot so likely they forgot about me. But how was the food you ask? It was just ok taco, nothing to write home about. Galvans is much better birria taco for the price. Guess I'll be back in a year or two again to see if improvements come.

La taquería estaba claramente sin suficiente personal; estuvimos ahí alrededor de una hora entre esperar y comer. Solo había un cocinero y un cajero atendiendo el área de clientes y el drive-thru. De repente llegó un hombre, aparentemente el encargado del turno, y comenzó a hablarle de muy mala manera al pobre muchacho por unas servilletas y otros detalles sin importancia, justo cuando ya casi terminábamos. Fueron al menos diez minutos de señalarlo, usar malas palabras y tratarlo con una gran falta de respeto. Me molestó tanto que me levanté y le pregunté si él era el dueño. ¡Por supuesto que no! Así que le sugerí, con respeto, que dejara de gritar y de faltarle al respeto al empleado ahí mismo en la cocina, intentando intimidarlo y amenazándolo con mandarlo a descansar. Si tenía una situación que atender, que lo hiciera en privado y con profesionalismo. Se quedó callado, y el otro chico pudo volver a sus tareas. Estaba sorprendida y aterrorizada. Se me revolvió el estómago. No podía quedarme mirando cómo alguien actuaba con tanta prepotencia y grosería. ¡Increíble! No creo que esta haya sido la primera vez que sucede algo así, pero espero sinceramente que situaciones como esta se manejen de forma diferente en el futuro. Los pobres muchachos llevaban toda la tarde atendiendo clientes con excelente actitud, a pesar de no tener el apoyo adecuado. Lamentablemente, entre paisanos estas cosas pasan a menudo, cuando estamos en una época en la que deberíamos ser más unidos. Pero no todos comparten los mismos valores. El servicio fue muy bueno y la comida estaba deliciosa. En general, una experiencia agradable hasta que llego el señor a dar su teatro.
