Great food, great service, great atmosphere. The best place in Pueblo, breakfast,lunch,and dinner

My mom and I stopped in for breakfast this morning. Despite there being only one waitress (and cook we found out), the service was outstanding...especially considering there was one table of about 10 men in addition to several other patrons there when we arrived. Our waitress, Victoria, seated us, got us chips and salsa and coffee and asked for patience as she was obviously getting slammed. Turns out we didn't need patience...she got our order out to us in record time and our coffee cups were never empty. She also kept seating and waiting on further arriving patrons and kept the big table happy. Kudos to Victoria-and the cook, whose name I unfortunately don't know. We patronize Mi Ranchito because the food is outstanding. Today the food and the great service made for a great meal! read more

The food was excellent, and the servings ample. The waiter was attentive, pleasant and did all he could making our dinner hour enjoyable. The ambiance is fairly plain and simple. The noise of other diners and the kitchen noise can be loud. However, the food is worth it! They have a large selection of entrees to choose from. Give it a try! read more

We went in for Sunday dinner and right from the start the hostess was very rude to us. We still decided to wait, at the 10 minute mark my uncle got up and very politely asked how long she thought the wait would be, he was just curious and asked if we could order drink while we waited. The hostess than proceeded to role her eyes and said, " if you can't wait, than you can leave." My uncle said, "I was just wondering and wanted a glass of water." She huffed and then complained to an another customer. She got menus and said, "Well are you coming or not?" And showed us to a table that was still being cleaned, we sat for a minute and decided to leave. She didn't say anything as we left and we won't be going back. We went to the location out in the county and were treated exceptionally at that location and, honestly the food is ten times better at the county location than at the Pueblo Blvd location and the customer service is 100% better. Plus, they have a buffet!! read more

First time here from out of town with family. I thought the food was ok but nothing that jumped out at me. I had the enchiladas with rice and beans and they were good. Unfortunately my local Mexican restaurant in New York made better enchiladas. My margarita was a bit strong and lacking flavor. The chips and salsa were very good as well as some of the desserts we tried. My wife had the menudo and she said it was exceptional! The wait staff and service were fantastic. Was a pleasant atmosphere inside. So the bottom line is that it was good not great like I was hoping. read more

You won't find a better pairing of margaritas and Mexican food! Try the crispy bacon wrapped shrimp to get started and prime your taste buds for the main course. Of course, you can't get 5 stars as a Mexican place without good chips and salsa, so come hungry! read more

Not ADA compliant regarding Service Animals. And pretty rude about it. My daughter felt very embarrassed when a confrontational host declined to seat her and her Service Dog without "certification". Check out the ADA.org website. This is illegal. A person with a disability is not required to show certification. It's hard enough to have a disability without having to prove their Service Dog is legit. Apparently the owner does not allow it - so I hope they get the message that they are feeding their employees WRONG information. Not sorry you didn't get their $80 and hope others don't patronize a place that discriminates against people who require Service Dogs. The dog''s service is Seizure Alert btw. You CAN ask what service a dog performs. read more

Consistent delicious food! Hot at pickup and they always gets our special request orders right. We love eating in or taking home! Our go to Mexican experience in the county! read more

I suppose it depends on the day. I come here often for the food, which is decent but it's sometimes difficult to swallow because of the rude service. The waitress act like your doing them a favor and wonder why I hold back on the tip. The place is busy today and the music is loud but here I am visiting Pueblo for the Chili Festival. The coffee is bitter and I know the offer a hot salsa I don't want to ask for fear it will be tossed at me like everything else. I'm still sitting here waiting for someone to take my order like I had to wait to be read more

Food is delicious. Ambiance is nice. Service is horrible. I have been coming regularly for months now because of the food. The regular wait staff are slow to greet you at your table. They are slow to serve. They don't return to check on meal or if you need anything. You have to hunt them down if you need anything, whether it's napkins, refill or bill. They don't acknowledge that they heard your request and leave you wondering if they will return. There were a few short term servers who were excellent they ran circles around the regular staff. They were hard working, attentive and deserved the tip you are expected to give. I really hope the owner sees this review and investigates it. Your business is doing well because of your cooks, please have the same expectations with your front line, wait staff. I assume they are family? Why else would you keep them around. read more

Moved here from South Dakota where good Mexican food is non-existant. Had high hopes of some good authentic Mexican food here. We were sadly disappointed. Ambiance was lacking and food seemed pretty bland. I found some great places in Denver so will go there to get my fix. read more

Good service, good will re visit often. Great family spot for get togethers. Would recommend.

Also had the enchiladas, They were exceptional contrary to what has been posted. Flavorful and tasty. Stop in for yourself and you will see. We were driving through Pueblo and found this treasure. Felt like a 'regular' customer that visits daily! The staff made us feel very welcomed. read more

I'm a Chicago native, so we love some quality Mexican food. When our neighbors told us about mi Ranchito and how good they were, we were excited to finally find a solid Mexican staple in our new neighborhood. I can't even call what we received food. We got a chicken burrito and the tampiqueña. The tortilla wasn't even tucked in, and the lettuce and tomato were OUTSIDE. Who makes a burrito like this? I would've rather gone to chipotle or qdoba. And the tampiqueña...... looks like someone vomited. There was NO SEASONING on anything! This place relies solely on its Chile sauce to support their meals, and we didn't even get green Chile we asked for; they gave us red Chile! Very sad, we paid over $30 for a bland burrito and a plate that made us lose our appetite tenfold. On top of it all, the food wasn't even hot. read more

I have a service dog that I need 24/7, meaning I take him everywhere with me. My family and I were denied service at this restaurant. A man greeted us and stated that I needed a form of identification stating my dog is a service dog. The Americans with Disability Act states that these are the only questions a business can ask: regarding a Service Animal: "Is the animal required because of your disability?" and "What task does it perform?" Any and all other questions/demands like form of identification are against the law. The man when asked said he was the manager. With this I responded, saying he cannot ask for Identification and that it doesn't even exist. He then argued back saying I was wrong, and that the owner made the rules. I asked for the owner's number and did not receive it. The manager continued to deny service to me and my family so I left. The manager was extremely rude and cut me off at times. I want anyone with a service dog to be ready for this here, because he was extremely rude and passive aggressive, and if you are affected by stressful events, this isn't the place to go. read more

The staff were wonderful and attentive, despite seemingly to potentially be understaffed. The restaurant had an overall nice ambience however the tables were all unclean, I assume due to fewer staff, which was not their doing whatsoever. The portions were very generous and it is a pleasant place to take your family to. The hot green chile was not spicy however pleasant in flavor. If you are looking for a family friendly restaurant this may be a good fit for kids and teens. read more

Long wait due but the "25 minutes" was really a 25 minute wait. Prompt service and friendly server (Greg). Food was fresh, hot, and tasty. The tamal had lots of pollo filling. Chile Releno was firm with just the right amount of heat. Ranchero beans were a bit bland but the extra salsa peeled them up. Margaritas were exceptionally strong; don't know if that was because of the long wait to get seated or not. We were seated in the back room with a noisy, noisy group with young children out of control. Other than that- a great dining experience. read more

I'll never order from here again for a to go order. First, they never answered the phone for over 20 minutes so we drove to put order in because we had very specific dietary request that we felt couldn't trust the online ordering. Well. The messed up 75% of the order. And we wanted the beans on the tostada on the side .... Not on the tostada. So they charged us $3.50 to do that. And the beans still came on it ....the person eating that can absolutely can not have beans. Also we wanted an order of chips and queso. But ordering to-go they don't include chips with that, so I would have had to buy chips and salsa at $2.50 to get chips. Not accommodating at all. And the food = sub par read more

Every Sunday after church or ritual we come here with family, from steak and eggs to a child plate, everything is so tasty, the service is good, a little bit of a wait to be seated but it's well worth it, thank you mi ranchito for being here in our little town of pueblo read more

The place is small and dated but the food was good. My carne asada plate was tasty. My husband fajitas were also great. It was so much food that we can't not finish it. The corn tortilla chips and salsa are homemade, something that I appreciate since a lot of restaurants in Pueblo serve this weird tasting chips. read more

The food was average. We needed salt but I rather have to add then be too salty. We ordered the Cadillac margarita. It states on the menu that it is made with hornitos tequila and gran gala. It was made with well tequila and no gran gala. It wasn't awful but for a 9.00 margarita, I expect a step up from well. In their defense there isn't a bartender and the wait staff are responsible for the cocktails. read more

The food was okay not worth the drive. I was expecting more favor. It seemed to lack that homemade authentic taste. For the price, presentation and price the food was horrible read more

I had heard Arriba's Restaurant was really good, so on my way home from Sam's Club, I decided to stop in. They were closed, although there was staff inside. So I hopped back on Pueblo Blvd, being a bit bummed as I thought about the hour drive home, and having to do it hangry. Then poof! There's Mi Ranchito! I whipped into the parking lot, and went in. The first thing that jumps out is some pretty amazing murals! We were immediately seated, and asked if we'd like complimentary chips and salsa. (Of course!!) But, does the salsa have cilantro? The wondersful server said he'd bring us the cilantro free salsa. (YAY! I'm allergic!!) The wait staff were all cheerful and professional, the food choices were very excellent, one could choose between red or green chili, and it's true Pueblo green chili. (No tomatillos, or cilantro, made with green chilis and pork). My only reason for only giving four stars is that they claimed the green chili I ordered was made with local green chilis, so I was looking forward to the very distinct flavor of the local milagro chilis, and nope. Not milagros. But it was still excellent green chili!!! Sorry I wrote a book here, but it was really good experience! read more

This used to be my families go-to for Mexican food in Pueblo, but in the last few months, the service has deteriorated. We've gone there to eat three times in the last month and a half and have left ach time due to waiting 10 minutes to be seated. Ten minutes without being acknowledged is unacceptable. We would have probably have given them a break if the restaurant was full of busy, but that hasn't been the case. The last time we were seated, our meal took over 45 minutes from ordering our food to receiving it. There are very few good Mexican food restaurants in Pueblo, and it's a shame that I won't be going back to my favorite one. read more

The food was really delicious , the service was very goodThe Bolivian busser was really nice, and very hot.

The worst experience ever from the food being cold and us sending it back and our waitress decided to eat and watch us well we waited for our food. Never again and not only that half our order came out well we waited about 15 minutes for the rest this place is no good and was not up to par. Food awful waitress awful not worth the money we spent. read more

Driving around Pueblo, not knowing where I was or what I was looking for, I happened upon Mi Rancho II. Although the parking and the building seemed nondescript I didn't let that deter me. Upon entry I was greeted by a nice, young, smileless young lady who showed me to a table. Almost instantly a young man dropped off chips and invited me to visit the salsa bar. The chips didn't seem fresh but the Salas were nice in variety and flavor. My order was taken. I elected to go with their most requested meal, combo 3. Now I wait. Looking around, the hand painted murals are great art work and add much needed decor and personality. My meal, enchilada, taco and chili with beans and rice was just delivered on a scolding hot plate,the taco in tin foil. It truly does not look appetizing; runny beans and sauce with no body. The plate is hotter than the food but the flavor is solid. Ingredients seem fresh, well seasoned and bring the heat of the medium green chili salsa. Overall Service friendly enough, unnecessarily hurried and I'm not a fan of being called boss man. Food, presentation was off putting, food temperature was like warm, the flavor was robust. 2.5 stars would be best, but going with 2 because I keep getting called boss man and the chips just were no good. And the two tvs are not at all necessary and don't fit in. read more

My goodness, I looked up best places to eat in Pueblo, CO and this place caught my eye. Surprised I didn't see better ratings. The staff, especially Derrick, he was terrific. Went out of his way to accommodate what I was looking for. The Menudo was better what I expected, as it is hard to find it just right and this place hit it right on the spot. Will definitely be back next time we are through here. read more

So today is Mother's Day and my husband asked me where I wanted to eat , and all I could think of was green chili fries ! What a disappointment these fries where ! The serving size was not good for what we paid and when I called the manager he had me call the owner and they didn't even know what they could do . They where going to make more but I wasn't about to drive 20 minutes there and back again. read more

I LOVE MI RANCHITO I have nothing bad to say about them at all amazing food very friendly staff I have never been disappointed here EVER.

Family and I had breakfast here on a Saturday. The restaurant was empty at the time. Sitting was fast and our waitress super friendly. My hisbanordered the large menudo, it was delicious. The meat was nice and tender. The corn was soft too. The breath had a great flavor. I get picky with Mexican food so finding good menudo of Pueblo is surprising. My son had the mini breakfast with egg, potatoes, sausage patty and beans. Pretty tasty too. read more

The Carne Ala Tampiquena was excellent! I can't believe I'm going to rave about this but the beans and rice were awesome! I posted a photo of my meal as it was presented. The use of Yellow and Green peppers really gave the plate some color and depth. The service was very good. The dining area was clean and well organized. The restroom was dirty and had a strange odor. From my perspective as a former restaurant GM, The dirt in the bathroom represents at least a month of neglect and partial cleaning. I did not have an opportunity to see the kitchen. Typically, if the bathrooms are dirty, the kitchen is worse. Despite my reservations, I enjoyed the experience and will return. This really should be a 3.5 star review but the food and service were so good that I don't mind rounding up rather than down. :-) read more
