    Regular grilled chicken burrito
    Brian M.

    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.

    Tacos de Lechuga

    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.

    Grilled fish tacos

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Oh how I deplore to write negative reviews... Alas, I must provide honest feedback in hopes it may…read morebe looked at to improve. The only thing I consumed that good was the Modelo on tap. As a vegetarian I could not find anything very suitable to order. I chose a crispy vegetarian taco and veggie enchilada. I requested cheese and avocado to be added. What arrived was hard to believe- the "crispy" taco was floating in a watery tomato sauce. I tried blotting it with my napkin, but there was just too much liquid. Therefore, the taco was mushy & soggy -the only thing inside of it was a very tiny piece of a potato. I asked about the cheese yet it never came. The veggie enchilada also was floating in liquid. The only vegetable was bell pepper Again, no cheese. I can't remember ever seeing these items on a bed of watery tomato sauce. The chips didn't taste house made and they were all right. I like spicy, but this particular watery salsa was quite spicy. We asked for a salsa Verde and that was a little bit better. My friend had the chicken enchilada and she said the chicken was overcooked and tough. Gosh, I feel bad. I really don't like to write the reviews, but it could've been much worse. The service did their best with what they could.
