Amazing food! They had a big selection and some wonderful, colorful food that I enjoyed. We got 3 dishes and we definitely ordered too much food oops but it was all good. The enchiladas were not great compared to the rest of the food. They were a bit thick and not as filled as they coulda been. I also think the shrimp fajitas plate should had came out flaming or sizzling/ smoking like the other ones I saw but mine came out just like hot plate. I think it sat in the window. The service was great! She was so nice and attentive plus we sat right across the bar in the booth which was comfy and good vibrations. Lively place for yummy food &drinks I would absolutely return for authentic mexican food. read more

Very Busy on a Sunday 12/21/25 lots of families and kids. We were greeted & seated quickly, cool. My friend recommended this place. The complimentary chips and salsa was just okay. Chips undercooked and just one small salsa portion cup had some heat but was Kind of bland like store bought. They had the football game on . Bar was busy. Our food was brought out very quickly. Wife had chicken Quesadillas i had the regular grilled chicken burrito. It was all just "okay" . The burrito was dry left me wanting more of the enchilada sauce on it. Quesadillas were better at least had sides of sour cream guac and pico de gallo. The staff was attentive fountain pepsi was somewhat flat. On the way out the bathroom was absolutely horrendous. Pee all over the seat and poop smell as an employee walked out. read more

Always expect a good meal at Mi Ranchito. Food is consistent and great flavors of margaritas. Free chips/salsa which has a nice kick is a perk. Although they charge a ridiculous amount for a side of gauc ($11!!!) tacos de lechuga + cucumber marg is my why I go to Mi Ranchito. Large restaurant with multiple dining areas, long bar, and outdoor patio. Reservations are recommended as they are always busy. read more

Mi Ranchito - Tacos de Lechuga - Mexican Near Me - Cotati, California

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!! read more

Mi Ranchito - Mole Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Cotati, California

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! read more

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 read more

As a person who rocks many Latino based businesses I was severely disappointed. I don't expect to cater to my dietary needs but when you cannot eat anything from The menu without the concern of animal products. Lard in the refried beans, lard in the whole beans, lard in the rice, lard in the fries, lard everywhere. Can we do better. Can we cook stuff without killing me? Why am I asking for water? Why am I repeating what I asked for? Why can I not eat anything without worrying? People in my party said deserts were cool. Being in large party made it seems like why should my server care they getting paid either way. Food mediocre, service mediocre, vibe decent but so loud trouble hearing people at my table. Took my drink before I finished. The list goes on. I speak facts, I'm from out of town. Dropped in to eat, but only drank and went somewhere else to actually eat. You want my opinion: stop cooking with products that kill people. Learn how to make quality food using real herbs, garlic, onions, etc. don't over price your food for lazy applications. read more

My daughter lives close by. What she misses the most about San Diego is Mexican food. She's tried quite a few places and decided this is the closest thing to making her happy. She brought the family here for dinner on her recent trip to Sonoma. There was a long wait so we opted to find space at the bar. There is a band setting up to play. We ordered our food and soon the music began at blaring loud volumes just as if we were in Baja. It was quite festive and fun . Drinks were good. Food was good really no complaints. I look forward to coming back again with her someday soon read more

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! read more

I came here during the week for lunch. I got the carnitas bowl which was ok. My coworker got the fajitas which she was said was good. Another coworker got the Super Bowl with chicken. He said it was a bit dry. Definitely want to come back and try other things from the menu. Service was excellent. read more

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! read more

Absolutely fantastic food and service. We were visiting from LA and this was better than the mexican food we have back home. 10/10! P.S. the happy hour margs are always worth it read more

The food and Service were fine as well as their margarita. I was there for a lunch I was alone, and I was scrolling on my phone as I ate there was somebody at the booth in front of me and behind me they had no problem then two men came in and took over a booth and turned around and said my phone was too loud for them. Well, I could barely hear it and I am not hard of hearing. I realized I should've asked them to then go to another table. I was here First, but I obliged and I turned my phone off. Paid my bill and left after I got home I realized that I should've told them to move to another table. I was sitting at my table 1st, and if they didn't like it, they shouldn't have sat at that table. They should've chosen a different location. I tried to call back to the restaurant and tell them this and I was hung up on twice, so that does it. won't be going back there because that is not good business. I don't like being bullied by men when I am minding my own business. And I don't like being listened to you just lost a customer for life. read more

Got burritos here while on a road trip. The service was friendly and quick and the quality and flavor far surpass fast food. All the burritos flavors melded together for a great road trip meal! There was seating indoors and out on the patio but we couldn't see details from where the hostess was at the set up right outside the front door. read more

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. read more

I have eaten here at least 50 times and it's usually my go-to place for Mexican food. ESPECIALLY HAPPY HOUR. You can't beat their price for a beer. The food is absolutely delicious. Whether you get burritos, nachos, meat plates, specials, it doesn't matter. And the service is very good as well. Sometimes it can get a bit loud in there depending on if they are having live music tucked in the bar or not but the place is fantastic. read more

This is our go-to Mexican restaurant. We take friends there regularly. The food is great - the margaritas are great - the service is wonderful. Lunch or dinner we always seem to order chicken fajitas. They are so, so good! read more

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! read more

Food was ok. We were there on a weekend evening and music was really loud. It's very family friendly. There were lots of kids. Certainly not a dining experience. read more

Was seated very quickly into a packed restaurant so that was really nice. The servers are super attentive and are always available. I also got a margarita flight which tastes good but I don't recommend for the simple fact that they're very watered down, if that's your thing then definitely order it! Food came super fast and overall the prices on the menu are super reasonable. Overall good experience and would go again, I will say the only thing I found surprising was the amount of fruit flies chilling on the wall, I had a fly buzz around me the whole time and was pretty sure it'd land in my drink at some point but wasn't a vibe killer at all I'm sure this doesn't happen to everyone. read more

We enjoy MiRanchito; the food, the people! What we're not a fan of is the auxillary dirt parking lot full of HUGE pot holes! Please simply hire a "box scraper" tractor to re-level the parking lot... or... fill the pot holes with drain rock gravel. Our vehicle's suspensin will thank you for it. Thank you! We love MiRanchito! read more

Food is normally always good here or decent. I got the birria but it was a bit small for the price. The rice wasn't fully cooked, and a bit hard to eat. But we got there a bit late so I didn't want to complain. Flautas were good but I wish they came with more cream and cheese. The piña colada was excellent 10/10 recommend. Service was okay. They close at 9 and we were chatting at 9:04 pm and they turned the lights on. The waiters kept coming to take plates off our table while we were still talking. So service was not the best in my opinion. I would've preferred they told us to leave instead of this service. But eh, now I know to not come here at 730 pm for dinner. read more

The food used to be so good. Was so seriously disappointed. It was cold, no flavour and overall just terrible food. I had steak taco salad, my friend had steak nachos. The service was fine. There were flies so it wa pretty gross. Won't be back... read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant with good food, friendly service, and delicious margaritas. The decorations are bright and colorful with large beautiful murals across the interior walls. The Chilie Relleno were the stand out item for me. This pepper was stuffed with a cheese mixture that somehow was both melty and chewy at the same time. Great texture in that filling really complimented soft tender battered pepper smothered in a velvety sauce. Will order that again. read more

Delicious food! Great service! Awesome drinks! Wish it was closer to my home. We highly recommend for authentic Mexican food.

I was a very regular customer for lunch. Great food, service, I really liked this place. Maybe this is small, but more than once when I paid with cash, the waiter would bring my change with the bills back, but not the coins. So if my bill was $13.40, I'd get the bills back, but not the .60 cents. More than once. Was told they don't have coins. I begged to differ, and both times got my coins. Starting to think this is "tip padding" or worse, coming from the top. At any rate, I was disgusted the second time it happened, left no tip, and will never go back. And that's too bad, because I really liked this place. You guys lost a really good customer. read more

Food was mediocre. Avocados in guacamole were overripe. Whole Fish was fried not grilled as described on the menu. The quality of the food and margaritas has plummeted. Apparently everyone but I knew this because the restaurant was 1/4 empty on a Saturday at 7pm. You used to have to wait 1/2 hour for a table. Service was good. The Server was excellent. She explained why the menu changed. Ambience was not lively and entertaining as it was in the past. The real disappointment were the margaritas, watery slushies. That was my last visit. Thanks for the memories. read more

Never got a refill, didn't receive all the order horrible service food was so so. I'm sure better is available....

Called in a pick up order I ordered four tacos and super nachos got home and they only gave me tacos so I paid for nachos but didn't get the nachos They ripped me off I called and they didn't refund it either Also, the steak meat in the tacos was really really chewy and cold. It was really disappointing. I honestly can't believe they charge you for food that you don't even receive read more

Mi Ranchito - Chicken burrito - Mexican Near Me - Cotati, California

Had to give it a one..but deserves a ZERO! Don't waste your time or money on the LARKFIELD location. First, I wiped the table down, had to ask for an ice tea refill since our waiter was MIA for the whole meal and it wasn't even busy! Had to get my own utensils from the bar area. TERRIBLE service and the food was awful. My 90 year old mom ordered tortilla soup and mentioned it was very salty, I tasted it once we were back home and that is an understatement, it is uneatable - $16 waste of money. I ordered the caldo de camaron which shows the menu picture of whole shrimp...not so, barely any shrimp, tiny pieces and looks like diced rock shrimp! I wish I had one nice thing to say.......NOTHING! I will NOT be going back!!! read more

Soup and Micheladas Came in for dinner on a Saturday evening. We had a bit of a wait and enjoyed a Micheladas at the bar. The bartender was very nice. It was crowded at this restaurant, which for this place is a sign of good food! We ordered Menudo and Albondigas soups and both were delicious. The Albondigas was a bit salty for my liking, but tortillas helped with that. The hostess and our server were both kind. They were able to transfer our bar tab to our check, which was convenient. They have two single restrooms that were both all-gender. The environment is very loud, and toward the end of our dinner, they were blasting music from speakers. I enjoy loud music. If you don't, this is so true to keep in mind. read more
