Mexican food & I go way back. Throw in a margarita, maybe some fresh chips and salsa, and I can be happy with just about anything off of the menu. Mi Ranchito is making it happen all over the metro and this location in Lenexa, even as tucked away as it is, delivers right on brand. The layout is a little bit cramped, but the service is fast and friendly, and the food is really good. The queso dip has always been one of their hooks, but it's the specials and the well-executed regulars that make it happen. The house margarita is a BIG drink, checking in at $9 and delivering well over that value. My wife loves their taco salad, a ginormous flour tortilla shell filled with a seasoned meat of your choice, guac & sour cream, and an array of crisp veggies. I love the cream cheese enchiladas, but I'm always up for an authentic off-menu special when it seems like someone's abuela is cooking in the back and you just know the food will be fabulous. It's always flavor on flavor and fresh on fresh, even when served on blazing hot plates. Prices are on par with the market, you can order online, but if you're coming in to dine, then know that parking is shared and it's cramped. But that doesn't water down your experience. Mi Ranchito brings the heat and the flavor, time and again. read more

The cheese dip came out to our table cold. My husband's and daughter's food came to the table cold. Usually the manager offers some sort of a discount but nothing. The salsa tasted like tomato sauce with just bits of cilantro. I had French fries instead of beans and rice and they weren't cooked all the way through but looked over cooked. It was just over all bad. read more

I like going here...the food is always good and the service is good as well. The portions are generally large and we usually have left overs to take home. I have been to several of their locations and they are all good. The inside is always clean and the music is good. read more

Excellent value and great service! We 4 went to dinner on a week night and sat in their outdoor patio. It was a lovely evening, perhaps it would be even nicer if they added some plants to block the view of the roads. Our service was very friendly and efficient. Prices for dinner are about $12-15 on average and they give alot of food. The menu is huge with lots of great choices and combinations. We enjoyed our meals. Chips and salsa we're delicious. read more

We went to this location on a desperate taco run one night. IT was the best surprise! The service here is fantastic and the food was too. Clean place and atmosphere was lively and inviting. All around great experience. We've been back twice since! read more

We recently moved back to JoCo, so this was our first return visit to Mi Ranchito in about ten years. The chips and salsa are very good with both red and green coming to the table. I had the steak fajita chimichanga and it was awesome. read more

The waitress always kept our chip bowl full, and kept our waters filled. She also highlighted the most popular dishes on the menu. Great service. I got their most popular burrito. My wife got the street tacos. Very tasty. Too full now. Kids menu is great. A soccer game plays on the televisions in the corners of the restaurant while Mexican music plays overhead. The booths are a multicolored kaleidoscope that is soft to sit on. read more

I tried this Mexican restaurant recently and it was real good. I did not care for the chips and salsa I feel they tasted not fresh but rest of meal was good. We sat outside and they have small patio area with shade. I ordered #2 Dos combinations which consisted of Pork Carnitas Burrito, Deep Fried Ground Beef Taco, Bean and Cheese Tostada. It came with beans and rice. I also had Margaritas which was not best either, tasted too much like mix. Best of the best was fried tacos Overall it was nice experience and staff was very friendly and polite. read more

I will always love Mi Ranchito. Some of my fav Mexican on earth. The servers are Always so nice and they got our big party in perfectly.

My husband and I picked up Mi Ranchito last night as our "cheat meal of the week." For an appetizer, we got the espinaca queso, which is white cheese dip with spinach and spices. The espinaca queso was TO DIE FOR!!! It was super gooey, rich, and with just the right amount of spice. The tortilla chips were not too thick, perfectly salted, and very crispy. There is NOTHING worse than stale, overly salty, and/or soggy tortilla chips for dipping. The dip came with red salsa, which was also delicious. Very chunky, not too watery and, like the queso, had the right amount of spice. For entrees, we both got the la costa chimichanga, which has roasted vegetables and shrimp and served with a broccoli cheese sauce, black beans, and Mexican rice. The chimichanga tasted super fresh, like it had just been fried. The roasted vegetables were perfectly cooked and the same goes for the shrimp. The broccoli cheese sauce could have been eaten as a soup, but was a perfect accompaniment to the chimichanga. The rice and beans were very delicious. This is a Mexican place you don't want to miss!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

I love Mi Ranchito. I was very disappointed the patio was not open the last time I was there. It was in the 60s and amazing outside.

I love Mi Ranchito! My partner and I visit here at least once a week, or multiple times a month. We are never disappointed, in fact, we are always extremely satisfied! All of the servers are extremely kind and attentive to their customers. it's the perfect size for a cozy family restaurant or a casual date night stop. It's not too loud, and the crowd that comes in is extremely respectful also! I continuously get the cream cheese, enchiladas. I never switch it up because they are so darn good! I'm pretty sure it is one of their most popular items, and I truly understand why. All in all the food is delicious and so is the atmosphere. We will be back over and over again! read more

Mi Ranchito - Cream Cheese Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Lenexa, Kansas

This review is for the Olathe location. I have been a customer for well over 10 years eating at many locations. I was turned on to the sale of chips and salsa for my weekly chiefs games. I have always paid 10.99 for a large bag of chips and and two small cups of red sauce and one small green sauce. Today at the Olathe restaurant I was told that sauce does not come with the chips and their would be a charge, I asked to speak to the manager and she told me she has been the manager for years and that sauce does not come with the chips. I have been a loyal customer at many locations including Linn Creek. She seemed fine with losing business, I felt like going to local business was the right thing to do, but my feeling have changed.

We've driven past this restaurant many times and finally decided to stop in. What a mistake that was. My wife ordered a burrito and I ordered the carnitas dinner. The menu described the carnitas as gently fried. By the looks of them the carnitas Were so gently fried they were only shown the oil not cooked in it (see picture). They looked more boiled than fried. Maybe there wasn't any oil left for the carnitas after seeing the burrito. It was brought to our table swimming in oil. The plate was a disgusting mess and it did not look edible. We will continue driving past. read more

Nope. Not a place for me. I really wanted to like this place, especially because it came with recommendations and suggestions for our order. The good: The espinaca queso is pretty good! The green salsa that comes with the chips was also tasty. The chips are good, too. Not all tortilla chips are created equal but the chips here are above average. The rice is tasty. Our server was nice. The bad: The food, in general, isn't good. We tried the chicken taco salad and the cream cheese chicken enchiladas. The flour tortillas seem like those packaged kind that come from a grocery store bread aisle. They have a gummy texture and no flavor. We left most of our orders on our plates. The black beans that come with the enchiladas are not great either. The ugly: Truth be told, the smell of the restaurant was off-putting at the very start. They must have been having some plumbing problems because it smelled pretty darn bad, like old-gas-station-bathroom bad. Food wise, the jalapeño ranch is the worst thing we've eaten in Kansas City. read more

Solid every time. We've started ordering from here vs. the downtown OP location cause the food quality (& consistency) is better.

I'm offended this location doesn't have 5 stars!! I've ordered a variety of meals at this place and every time it's great. I dream about their birria tacos - you need them in your life. This place is amazing every time! Ignore the other reviews. read more

The service at this restaurant is horrible! The servers just stand around and stare off into space we had to wave our arms around to get the server's attention read more

Great food, quick service, ambiance is pretty casual and laid back, just what we wanted

Stopped at this randomly after shopping at sams. OMG. The best decision. Food was super yummy and very quick. Drinks were also, FIREEEE. Highly recommend this place to anybody. read more

Mi Ranchito is the place to go! Came here on a Saturday night and my boyfriend and I were seated and served immediately. Our waiter was super helpful and friendly and assisted us with any questions we had about the menu. I had the Jalisco Chimichanga and it was delicious. The sauce that covered the chimichanga was mouth watering, and the guacamole was great. To top my meal off I ordered a frozen mango margarita, which was a perfect way end to my dining experience. Overall would highly recommend this place, and will be returning very soon! read more

A couple years ago we ate at a different location and enjoyed that lunch. Today we grabbed a late lunch at this location. Place was busy but we quickly got a table. The restrooms were ok. The salsa that came with the complimentary chips was superb. Love the fresh and thin chips. My adult daughter ordered the nachos appetizer with some modifications. It's a huge plate so she brought some home. Top notch. My sister got a chimichanga...never had one cut in half before...loved the creamy cheese on the side as it let her enjoy the crispy texture. My wife ordered the chicken cream cheese enchilada and while it was a large portion... She enjoyed every last bite. I had the Pork Verde....probably the best I've had in the KC area. Soft tender pork with a flavorful sauce. Hot flour tortillas to scoop it up and I mean HOT!! Good beans and rice with fresh lettuce. It's a long drive from our side of the city but so worth it. This is one of the rare KC Mexican joints that include the Sweet Corn Mush. Mmmmmmmmmmmm... read more

My burrito del norte lunch ($8.75) was served 15 minutes after I ordered at the table, which gave me time to start on the generous amounts of complimentary chips (thin and crispy) and salsa (mild). The burrito was packed full of moist, tasty, white chicken with fajita vegetables, and covered with a tasty espinaca sauce. I liked that the plate included rice, beans, salad, and a small dessert (all delicious). The service was attentive, but not especially cheerful, while the dining area was clean, with Mexican background music, a bar (with happy hour M-F 3-5 pm), and a patio. Hot sauce was available at the table to spice things up. Very nice! read more

I would not ever give this place one star, but I have to in order to write this review. Okay now for the review; to start things off we could not get in the door, because the Hostess seemed unable to manage a wait line. Once inside and seated we waited a solid 15 minutes to be acknowledged by our server. Then, it took another 15 minutes to get our drinks to the table. However; our drinks were visibly ready at the bar and our server was playing with her hair chatting with other wait staff. Eventually she dropped off our drinks and just walked away; I guess people are not supposed to order food at this restaurant. What topped of this disaster is the boorish individual next to us. This person seemed to think that the entire restaurant wanted to hear his conversation, as he had his phone on speaker with the volume turned all the way up. When asked to turn the volume down this rude person looked at us as if we were speaking gibberish and continued with the conversation. At this point we were done and when the server finally came back to take our order approximately 20 minutes later, we declined. Mind you, she did not say anything to the person beside us who was still having his ear-splitting conversation. Aside from all this, the salsa tasted like marinara sauce. I thought this was a Mexican restaurant not an Italian. My recommendation; stay as far away from This restaurant as possible. And instead got to the one in Olathe. Much better food and service. read more

Ordered a taco bar for 40. It was plenty and people at the party raved. Had plenty of leftovers too. They packed it up just before pickup so it was fresh. Also included serving utensils. Would recommend. read more

Sadly, not a good experience. Host was rude at the door even though we called ahead to put our names down. - took forever to get out orders in, get our drinks and get the check / pay the check. Everything was very slow. - drink order was wrong and food order also was wrong - very poor service. It is a small restaurant but there was plenty of staff running around and it wasn't super busy - margaritas were good (even if it was the wrong drink) Espinaca was also good - food was okay but not worth going here Go to the olathe location over this one. read more

We come all the time and never have a problem today was one of the worst experiences of my life, they forgot some of the order, we were mean mugged, and ignored, I had to wait almost 10-15mins for my chips, the server was nice and all but the service was not how it normally is. We will not be back. I'm very disappointed we were waiting on our food for 35-45mins and people who came in after us got there food before us. We used to love this restaurant now it's a place for/in the past and i won't be back. read more

We were in town to visit family and the guy at the front desk of our hotel recommended we try Mi Ranchito. When we first pulled up we were a little confused as Mi Ranchito shares a building with a car detailing service, but we were hungry and had some time to kill so we decided to give it a go. The restaurant is small, and the tables are configured in an odd fashion but it was clean and did not have any unpleasant odor, in fact, the food smelled delicious. We ordered the two for $7 margarita special and they were a basic but tasty restaurant margarita. Not the best I have ever had, but definitely not the worst. The chips and salsa were delightful. The chips were hot and perfect for dipping and the salsa tasted fresh and had just enough heat. My husband ordered the taco special and chose chicken filling. They were very good and quite a deal at under $3 each. I ordered the chicken flautas lunch special. I wish I would have taken a photo (I was too hungry for that nonsense.) because they were thick and stuffed with chicken that was juicy and flavorful. The rice was moist and well seasoned and the beans were tasty as well. Our server and all staff we interacted with were helpful, knowledgeable, and very nice. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area. read more

This place is horrible! Stinks so bad! Still, I was hungry. That's why I ordered carne asada tacos. I couldn't ate them because the meat was so hard; with no taste at all. Also, my wife ordered tortilla soup. Was cold and no taste too. I would never come back again read more

Chicken Enchiladas Terrible service paid with my debit card what my bill was, the next day I looked on my bank statement they charged me more. I called and called and called and nothing happened. I'll never go back there again Their address was 13000 W. 95th St., Lenexa Kansas. And I live in LIBERTY. It will cost me more In gas the price of gases is now read more

This has always been THE place to take people out for Mexican food. Their Tex mex rocks and their authentic is every bit as good. I have not seen the free queso coupons lately but it's worth ordering. The cream cheese enchiladas, mi ranchito sampler, and the tamales are our houses favorites. Give them a try you won't be let down, this is one of those places you could order anything on the menu and it's going to be good read more

I don't know what it is about Kansas restaurants adjacent to service stations. When I stopped here, the first thing I saw was the tire service shop, and on the corner, same building is Mi Ranchito's. I was immediately seated and bought salsa and chips. The salsa wasn't too hot, had a slight cilantro flavor and is possibly the best salsa I've had. The chips, light and delicious. I ordered the grilled shrimp chimichanga which was on special. I only found a couple of shrimp, but I would order it again. It came with a cheese sauce with broccoli. Also was included black beans and a minute scoop of rice. A corn fritter was to the side. I had excellent service and very good food. Couldn't find the coupon people are talking about. This is in an excellent location, just off I-35 before Bass Pro Shop at the next exit. Parking is probably sketchy, there isn't much of it. But I really enjoyed it and will be back. There's tons more things on the menu to try. read more
