Walked in and waited to be seated. Then waited and waited. Employees walked past and didn't acknowledge that we were waiting. Nothing but averted eyes. So we left. Way to make us feel unwanted read more

This is purely based on a vegetarians opinion. Their options are bean enchiladas or cheese enchiladas. It is quite tasteless.

Fajitas are amazing! Service is great and the ambience is nice. I enjoy having Dinner at Mi Ranchito. Strawberry Margarita was super delicious read more

I had high hopes as this was recommended by another business owner in the area. Got street tacos and they weren't even OK. Dry, as if the meat was sitting there all day...shrimp, chicken, carnitas and asada..all dry and lacking flavor. And I get that street tacos are small, fine, but 4 of them for 14 bucks is just not cool. I was still hungry AH after eating them. Tiny, with tiny chopped pieces of meat. I couldn't tell the diff between the shrimp and the chicken. ) : read more

We actually got food poisoning from me Ranchero! We got the combination fajitas that included shrimp and chicken for two; and we both got deathly ill for the next two days! My daughter and I went there about six months later, and the food was bland at best and the service was horrible! The restaurant really needs to be updated! Everyone is Hispanic that works there, they don't realize I understand Spanish; I heard the rude things they were saying about customers! Very unprofessional! read more

Service is horrible. I was extremely offended. I'm a white guy, and the Hispanic waitress was overtly rude to me. I happen to speak Spanish too, and a Hispanic male came into to pickup his call in order, and she said to him, in Spanish, "you're smarter than the white guy, you called in to order your food. Much faster." I really couldn't even believe she said that. I am still shocked. And it took me forever to get my food. I'm calling it what it is... racism. read more

Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant - This is the waitress who was too busy with her own kid to serve me. - Mexican Near Me - Sterling, Colorado

Had lunch there today. My wife loves the buffet but it consists mainly of cheese enchiladas, beans, rice, and soup. None of that appeals to me so I ordered the stuffed sopapilla. Waitress came back 5 minutes later and informed me they were out of stuffed sopapillas and she apologized. Mind you, it was 11:40 am. How do you run out of an item before noon​?! So I ordered the burrito deluxe from their combination plates. $15.95 was the price. Menu stated that all combos came with beans and rice. I got the plate with a very small amount of rice and no beans. I asked the waitress where my beans were. She informed me that only the pork and avocado burrito came with beans and rice on the side and my beans were in my burrito! Really?! Are beans and rice that expensive now that I only got a size for a child?! Ridiculous, plus I barely got a dribbling of green chili over the buritto. The taste was nothing special, just another beef burrito. I am VERY disappointed on what I was served and at a cost $15.95 for a combo plate that had little more than just a buried is robbery!! That plate wasn't worth more than $10!! The service was nice and attentive but that is all the good I can say. Not the first time this place has disappointed me. If not to make my wife happy I'd never return. What a rip off today!!! read more

We got stuck in Sterling while a storm passed and accidentally found this restaurant. My husband grew up having carnitas made by his grandpa and made the comment that it's the best carnitas he's had since his grandpa passed. I'm a die hard carnitas eater and I have to agree, hands down best carnitas. Besides that, the beans, rice and salsa were excellent and as if that wasn't enough, the service was great! We'll definitely make this a stop anytime we're passing through! read more

Avoid at all cost. Wait time is horrible, over an hour for a 2 item to go order! Food is nothing Mexican at all either

Plenty of workers and the place was fairly empty on customers, food was good service was horrible. Never once was asked for a refill on our drinks. Now I know to keep driving on to somewhere else. read more

I ordered a beef burrito smothered with green chili and no tomatoes. Due to virus I phoned ion my order then went in and picked it up. The place was packed on a Saturday night and no one but the staff was wearing a mask! When I received my order there was no green chili at all, even though I was charged extra for it, and the side of guac was horrible! Tasted like sour tomatoes or too much lemon/lime juice. I won't be returning! read more

We had a fabulous lunch today, Beef fajitas and chicken fajitas so good, service was wonderful food was very tasty!!

This used to be my favorite Mexican Restaurant in Sterling. But dinner there with family last night turned me off from going there again. 1). Slow, slow service, 2) food was just OK - not very flavorful, 3) the setting sun brightness through the west wall windows was so blinding it was uncomfortable, 4) margaritas were watery and weak, and the coup de grace: my brother ordered the special, Rocky Mountain Oysters. Everyone knows what they are, right? ... a dish made of bull testicles. The organs are often deep-fried after being peeled, coated in flour, pepper and salt, and sometimes pounded flat. (In NE Colorado, these are a staple). The waitress asked my brother if he wanted 6 or 12 to which he said, "I guess I'd better have 12." (He really likes them.) You should have seen his face when, 45 minutes later, the waitress put a very large plate before him of raw oysters on the 1/2 shell, with lime!!! We asked the waitress if she knew what Rocky Mountain Oysters were and she said she didn't but that's what they were told they were. I went out to check the specials sign to make sure we didn't misread. Nope, Rocky Mountain Oysters it said but we did miss the lime and ice on the sign. Question: where in the Rockies do Oysters grow? We had a pretty good laugh at my brother's expense and didn't have to pay for them, bro sent them back. read more

Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant - menu - Mexican Near Me - Sterling, Colorado

We stumbled across this place quite by accident, looking for coffee on the 4th of July, but since every coffee place was closed, we decided for lunch instead. We drove by this place, and it looks very unassuming from the outside, but gave it a try based on the other reviews here. I am from Arizona, and I am a Mexican Foodie in every sense. I will say that Mi Ranchito is now in my top 5 favorite places anywhere - the chips are warm and homemade, and the salsas (she brought 2 different ones) are fresh, zingy, and spicy, but not too spicy. I had the Chile Relleno and Cheese Enchilada with a bean tostada, and they were all superb - great sauces, plentiful portions, and I really just couldn't get enough. My son (6 years old) got the cheese nachos, and even those were awesome - several different cheeses melted perfectly with different textures and flavors...yum! Really authentic - very flavorful - very fast and friendly service....yum-tastic! read more

Tacos Tierra y Mar.....ruined all other tacos for me because no other taco can touch it. Honestly, haven't had a bad plate here. Very consistent, consistently delicious. read more

Absolutely delicious! Loved the rellenos and enchiladas ... killer Cadillac marg, too. Stopped in for late lunch, early dinner and were thrilled. Right by the RR tracks downtown so got to see the train come in. read more

Horrible service. Took 20 minutes for drinks 30 minutes for chips and salsa 1 hour for food and the waiter said we have to be patient and the worst part is that the food was horrible beef looked and tasted old green chili had sour flavor. Customers next to us took one bite and left right away never going back read more

Some of the worst service in sterling .. food very bland and mediocre.. 2 stars only bc they kept giving chips and we did order the queso dip and it was good. Waited 45 mins for drinks then at refill she brought my husband someone else's drink and even said " ooops that's not yours there was too many back there " after he already took a sip out of hat straw... gross.... food took 2 hours .... never going back... read more

Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant - Great food - Mexican Near Me - Sterling, Colorado

Delicious Tex mex! Awesome little local place! Our food was hot and good! Pretty good prices and nice people.

Drove in from Texas, wanted Mexican food and sadly yelp brought me here. Service is horrible, the waitress walked by 3 times and never asked if I needed a refill, food literally took 25 min to come out. If you want to know what the hot sauce taste like, go head a kids pizza lunchable and squeeze the sauce in your mouth. Don't come here. read more

The service is great but the food not so good. My dads burrito was good. But my sons tacos burnt as was the shell of my taco salad. The beef was pretty oily and little lettuce and no tomato. read more

The lunch plates are plentiful and reasonably priced. The service is good. They were out of horchata. Lunch came out quickly and is served until 2. read more

I probably wouldn't go back. Portions are small. I didn't care for the use of cheddar cheese in Mexican food. Head out towards Walmart, you'll drive by 10 places you'd rather eat at. The whole east side of town is a dump. read more

Grabbed stuff to go for lunch, husband said tacos and burrito were so so, salsa was so so, tasted like canned tomatoes BUT the tacos al carbon were awesome! I would definitely return for those specifically, the flavor knocked it out of the park! read more

Good stuff in sterling. Lunch specials are fairly priced and the service is friendly and good. One of the top places in the area.

This was supposed to be good, buy it wasn't. The server was not easy to understand. The burrito was greasy meat in a tortilla no tomato, onion or even cheese. The flauta was cheese in a tortilla and all tasted bad. We won't be going back read more

This hidden gem in the tiny northeastern Colorado town of Sterling offers delicioso authentic Mexican food at a low low price. We rolled in at 1:00 pm on a sleepy Sunday and a few tables of locals were enjoying a late lunch. At first glance this little whole in the wall seems slighty sketchy with a tv playing vh1 and a newborn sleeping beside it with a half finished bottle in it's lap. The Tecate piñata, plastic tablecloths and Mexican blanket curtains give it that straight outta Tijuana feel. The servers were both very welcoming and hospitable. Our food arrived quickly and we even had to wait for a moment to let it cool. I dug into my combo plate with gusto. It included a chicken relleno, chicken taco and chicken enchilada with a side of rice and beans. Everything was perfect but the relleno stood out as the best I've ever had with it's obscenely fresh poblano pepper that melted in my mouth. My travel companion cleaned his combo plate as well which was all beef and although he enjoyed it immensely he was a tad jealous of my relleno. Since we were on the road Michael only got a few sips of my perfectly mixed, giant $4 margarita. If you ever find yourself driving down interstate 76 take a detour and discover best dang relleno outside of Mexico. read more

Above all, the hospitality was amazing. We have a 4 month old baby girl who like all babies, can be fussy. The waitress insisted, let me hold her! You guys eat. And she made friends with our baby girl right away and carried her everywhere . The food was great also! We were just amazed how kind they were. Great job! read more

This place was good, like really good! I've been driving across country and stopping at a Mexican restaurant at just about every state, and this one is by far the best. If your in the area and not looking for anything fancy, but enjoy tasty food and strong drinks this is the place! read more

We waited for over an hour to get our food and when we finally did it was over seasoned and tasted like a TV dinner. The kids who waited on us were cute and the staff was nice but the service left much to be desired. read more

I hear many great things about this place and so i decided to try it out. Food was average tasting and quantity was a bit less than La Fiesta. I went when it was around the "after dinner" time and so there was only 2 other tables in the restaurant but the server was in the back (kitchen) 90% of the time. We didnt get the drinks refilled cept when she actually came out to bring us our food. read more

Is usually a pretty good little place to eat but ate there today and they had a drunken table of goons and they were so enthralled on them they got our order wrong,"twice" so we got up and left without eating. read more

Nice taste of Mexico in northeastern CO. Food gets 3.5, service is 4.5. I came in 20 mins before they closed, so the food may be even better? The chips were delivered warm and fresh... Very tasty along with salsa and pico. I had a chicken and bean smothered burrito. Not spicy imo, but good flavor. read more

Love this place! Best Chimichanga around! Friendly staff, fast service, and it's a cute place!

This little place is great. Nice lightly fried tortillas. Great carne asada and carnitas. Friendly, attentive service. Decor that brings you right back to old Mexico. read more

Well as northern New Mexicans heading home this was a convenient stop prompted by the positive reviews. But we were not so pleased. It tasted very generic and uninspiring. Pico de Gallo was tepid and not fresh a the height of summer--very telling. Beans were burned, smaller servings. And the service was lackadaisical. We will try Fiesta next time around. read more

Good service. Nice servers. But the music was too loud. My husband and I couldn't even hear each other talk.

Was driving back from Wisconsin and had to get my Mexican food fix stumb led across Mi Ranchito in Sterling. I was not disappointed I had the Fajitas Tejanas (it has a mix of beef, chicken and shrimp) my wife had the Shrimp wrapped with bacon. Both of our dishes were more than what we expected. We live 2 hours away otherwise this would be my weekly dining place! read more
