I was here last night and wow it was a GREAT experience. Everyone was signing Karaoke, it was wholesome and fun to watch. I felt very comfortable and at home. The food takes some time to come but when it does it's WORTH the wait. Full of flavor, balanced and not overwhelming. The staff is friendly and mainly Spanish speaking, ask them for help if you're not sure what to order they always have GREAT recommendations My favorite thing about this place is it's authenticity. Everything about it reminds me of Mexico.. can't wait to be back read more

Mi Ranchito - Taco de pollo - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

This is my new spot! Living at the end of Harlem/beginning of Washington Heights has one negative... the Mexican restaurants in this radius are not the best. They often serve dried up meat or stale chips, and after Best Farm Mex closed, I was without a Mexican restaurant until I discovered Mi Ranchito. Their rice and beans, steak tacos and nachos are amazing. Their burritos are packed with flavor as well. I can't wait to try more items from here. read more

I LOVED THE Gorditas the tortilla so fresh and great tasting chicken and ingredients I complete it with a cold Tamarindo juice on ice .try it The service by reina was great. I sat outside great ambiance read more

Food and service are great. Definitely cheapskates with the sour cream. And will charge extra for it even if you order many tacos.

A little of education and manners to the staff will be great! My delivery was left in the floor right after the guy rang the bell, they don't follow any instructions in the food. And there is always something missing. But if you say something they will not admit it. read more

I really enjoyed the food here. I would always make it a point to order from this place when I hit up the city. Food is good and the prices are even better. read more

Steak burrito that comes with rice and beans for only $8.50! It was yummy and I hadn't realized it it came with the rice and beans until I got my order. What a pleasant surprise. Lol. Horchatas in small and large sizes shown as well. Definitely ordering from here again. read more

Mi Ranchito - Steak and chicken tacos with tamarindo juices - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

This will become your favorite mexican spot. Don't let this hole in the wall fool you. It's my favorite mexican restaurant because of its authentic taste. Unlike other steak meats where you taste that burnt grilly taste, their steak is flavorful and cooked better. From tacos to Enchiladas you can't go wrong. read more

So delicious every time anytime I'm visiting my friends uptown i make sure to stop by. They have a great outdoor dining set up and takeout was really straightforward. read more

Best authentic Mexican food in town, I always eat the Burrito de pollo it's the best recommend you go and check them out

I am very disappointed in this visit. How does a Mexican restaurant mess up Mexican cuisine?! HOW?! I don't know what other yelp users were thinking. Not at all the best nachos in NYC. It was a taco salad. Who buries nachos with lettuce? We asked for jalapeños on top of our nacho and was tossed three roughly chopped canned jalapeños. This shit was nasty. The burrito was mediocre. None of the right ingredients of a well put burrito. It was eh. The 'complimentary' chips were not so complimenting for our taste buds. They were stale and sit out under a tiny station. Don't come here. Please save yourself for the love of God. Oh. Whoever recommended and praised their food must be a friend or someone who haven't eaten good food in their life!!! It's a joke! This "restaurant" is a joke. read more

Mi Ranchito - Sitting under. Out and about. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

They make one of the best tamales and enchiladas around. I decided to try something new, and decided to get a steak enchilada. It was good but nothing beats their chicken enchilada in green sauce. It's not too spicy, but it gives it enough flavor to combine everything on the dish. read more

Excellent service and friendly staff... CLUMSY MANAGEMENT. As a disclaimer Mexican cuisine is hard to be terribly original with. So if you frequent too many Mexican joints in a row, it starts to get a little redundant. Its like expecting one Chinese takeout place to produce better food than its neighbor. What do you expect. So this is my 2nd Mexican place in 3 days and so... my tongue is in a 'meh' mood. Clock times were quite reasonable. I'm not going to give that grade on this review because I forgot to hit the button when the food came out and so I don't remember how long it took for plate service. It didn't take long. Maybe 10 minutes. The Mexican dishes just like with many latin/caribbean cuisine comes on multiple plates and has a lot of moving parts. Take this fork and take a glop of this and use this spoon and put it over there on that tortilla and fold it up with this salad over here... look - not today. I just sat and at each item exactly as it was and it apparently threw off the waitress who came over and told me that I was doing it wrong. I maybe wasn't in the mood for that today, either. All tasty ingredients and the beef was just the right limit of spicy without going overboard. You can tell the four slices of jalapeno contributed to the heat. But again it was nowhere close to being too much. My problem came when the waitress told me that she couldn't charge my card without there being a minimum $15 order. I didn't find it terribly odd except for the fact that this limitation isn't advertised anywhere in the store. Not in its printed menus; no signs around the establishment. No signs on the tables in those little plastic frames that restaurants normally use to advertise promos. They just leave it to the waitress to tell the customer. I offered to add $2 as a tip (my ticket came to $13) and she said that she could not do that either... without the order being at least $15 the cashier computer literally would not put the purchase through. Well now we're at an impasse because guess what. I don't have enough on-hand cash to cover and so I'm basically stealing service. She offered me the chance to go to the bodega a couple of doors down to draw cash but this is the thing... she doesn't know me! She has no idea as to whether or not I'm going to go and get cash AND COME BACK, or ditch the place! The other faux pas that isn't unique to this restaurant is that they have both musical and televised entertainment going at the same time. When the digital jukebox is playing, you have to basically watch a TV you can't hear. Would I ever go back? Absolutely. I want to try their smaller menu items. But their owners are absolute morons. And I get the impression that $15 limit is going to stay in place forever regardless as to how many people complain. I mean come on. People being sent to actually LEAVE the restaurant to go and pull cash? I wonder how many theft-of-service calls they've had to make to the police thus far...(and still have learned absolutely nothing from it). read more

Mi Ranchito was very amazing and very affordable. More than anything, Mi Ranchito has an incredible vibe. I had 2 dishes, one of them being Mojarra Frita, both dishes were absolutely incredible.

Mi Ranchito might not be what you first think of when you think of Washington heights, but I recommend that you don't overlook this gem. Their chips are some of the best in NYC and you'll have a hard time finding better guacamole and quesadillas. I also highly recommend their lemonade. read more

Trash. I ordered third party delivery and they got the entire order wrong. It took an hour and a half and the tacos were awful. Wish the pazole was better. There are numerous other places to get tacos. read more

Absolutely love their meals, they are so good! Their steak tacos are extremely tasty and the steak itself is almost never dry. Also make sure to try their chicken flautas and carnitas burrito. It's always very delicious and delivery is pretty decent. read more

Great food. Guac was really really good. Good prices. Ate with a friend. 25$ for 3 tacos, 3 golditas, guac & 2 orders of chips, & 3 sprites. Small places so limited seating. On sundays a guy and lady comes in and start singing. After 10 theres a security guard and he pats ppl coming in. To get alcholic beverages i think you have to seat at the bar sections bc the menus they give you are the takeout paper ones. read more

Mi Ranchito - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Oh, this place takes me back to my high school days... I was introduced to this place around 4 years ago by a friend, and it has been my go-to place in Washington Heights ever since. I was born and raised in the heights, so every time I come home from college, I almost always have to stop by here. I always order the nachos with chicken and refried beans. I LOVE the sour cream here. I almost empty out the bottle every time, haha. But the best part about this place are the FREE nacho appetizers! I've been coming here for a long time and I always order the nachos and get served by the same people. I am so comfortable here and this place will always be like a second home to me Every person I have brought here LOVES the food, so that's an indicator that maybe you should come and try it! read more

I wanted to like this place, specially when I ended up pickng up the tab because my bro sucks. But it wasn't good. The nachos were ok. We went with steak. The tacos were single wrapped. This made for really soggy, and sloppy taco-ing. I love messy food BUT tacos are doubled because ain't nobody order nachos!!!!! well, we did but I digress. The pozole was horrible. I asked for no spicy. I got spicy. It was watery, not flavorful and nothing like what I've had at homes, or in random eateries. I think the place rates highly because it stays open late and greasy and spicy food is great to millennials at 3am. Tried the horchata and jamaica. Didn't like either. The waitress was nice, and patient but the food failed. read more

I live in the neighborhood and decided to get take out from here on a Saturday night. The place itself is small but cute. It was not very crowded, with places to sit both at the bar and at the tables. While the atmosphere was good, unfortunately the food was not. I ordered the vegetable quesadilla, guac and chips, and a strawberry smoothie. My friend ordered tacos and a drink also. Everything was reasonably priced, with our total for everything being around $27. The quesadilla was just pretty gross tasting. It was really dry, with melted cheese inside and shaken cheese on top. The melted cheese inside tasted kind of stale and was in clumps together. It was a short walk back to the apartment so I don't think it spoiled during the trip. It is a little hard to mess up a basic quesadilla, but this place succeeded. I also did not care for the guac, which had a really creamy consistency and appeared to have no chunks of actual avocado in it. I am not sure if the guac is homemade but the taste reminded me of the cheap store-bought kind. My friend did not care for his tacos either, and will opt for the taco truck instead next time. I gave this place 2 stars because the staff was friendly and the atmosphere seemed nice. I would maybe come back to try some drinks. The food disappointed me though, as I had really been looking forward to it based on the great reviews and location. read more

This place is amazing. Best tacos in New York City. I'm a fellow Mexican who moved from LA so finding a good Mexican place took 6 months. But I finally found this place. Been to Mexican restaurants in every burrow and not one comes close to this one. Would highly recommend to anyone. read more

I'm leaving 1 star for this restaurant. The food is great but I don't like the customer service! I had a party for 9 people to celebrate my parents birthday from November and it was night time. At first the service was good, the server ask us if we want to order any drinks before my other siblings come to the restaurant to eat as a family. Once the whole family came together the server was not patient to every one of us our order. We were ready to order but the server was in a rush like if she has something to do upstairs. Once we got our drinks we were patiently waiting for our food to come. The food came like 30minutes. Once my family are ready to dine and eat, all the food was good! I could give it 10/10. But once my parents wanted to order alcoholic the server looked like she was drunk and she was rude to my parents like if we telling her to give us this or that. The server needs to have patient because we here for the food and pay for the service. Not to treat my family with a nasty attitude. read more

I ran into this place last week while looking for a place to eat before my road-test. Having lived in this area (Washington Heights) for a year, I left this neighborhood thinking it was a black-hole for good food (outside Dominican food of course).So I went in this restaurant without expectations. Once entering I was greeted by a nice, smiling waitress. Still at this point, I was just alright, lets see. I proceeded to seat at the table of my choice and started to read the menu. The pictures of food look great, but what caught my attention was the Bistec a la Mexicana. This steak dish is my favorite dish when made properly, and though with doubts, I ordered anyway. A few minutes later, to my surprise, the food came out looking just like in the picture! My plate came with REAL fresh corn tortillas, salad with avocado, yellow rice and black beans, and sliced jalapenos sautée into the steak sauce like it should be. I was so exited. Right on my first bite I thought this place was great, and immediately thought I should bring my husband here. And so I did. I took my husband here today. He had the Mojarra frita and I had the bistec a la Mexicana. Again, the food was great! Although this is no longer my neighborhood, I look forward to coming back. I hope this place don't change; and I hope the rest of the dishes are just as good as my first one. read more

I only order tacos and beers from this place and have nothing bad to say. At just a few blocks north of the 1 train's 181 street stop, I frequently indulge in here after I get off from work (1 or 2am) and they are good even late night. Upstairs they've got a bar and a half for seating, about 5 tables, and then a downstairs area with another 5 tables for dining. The waitresses are all nice and accommodating and even with a full house the food comes out in a relatively quick manner. I get my tacos solely with onions and cilantro but there's always 1/8 a lime wedge to drizzle on mixed with sour cream, guacamole in a bottle, salsa de rojo o verde - perfecto! Highly recommended for those seeking to venture uptown for some great Mexican food - both lunch and dinner this place has never let me down. Oh and the cervezas are always mucho frio. The waitresses are all very nice and accommodating and even with a full house the food comes out in a relatively quick manner. Karaoke in Spanish happens sporadically, gangsters and families mingle together, happiness exudes beyond the mindless drunks who trickle in... Its a lovely uptown establishment and I am proud to say that I am and will continue to be a regular. read more

I feel bad giving such a review. I love this place for years and lately it's been disappointing me. I keep giving you guys a chance and every time is again doubtful to order. Waiting over an hour for food to just being getting ready to go out? Food will most likely sit on my fridge cold since finding a closer option was initially a better idea. Great food! Good service! Great delivering! Just Horrible Horrible timing! Ordered at 4:21pm food arrived at 5:39 If you're willing to wait about one hour and 1:17 minutes make sure you know you're waiting that long! read more

First off, I'm a little shocked that no one has written a review in the past two years they've been open, but what the hell. I've been craving their food ever since I lived around the corner , and here's why. For about five bucks, you can get a full tray of homemade tortilla chips along with their amazing pico de gallo. They'll make it how you like it (picante o no), and it is ALWAYS fresh. I have never had a bad experience with it. I've had a few items from their menu beyond that (the tacos are very good, but not excellent), so order from their specialty side. I think it's listed under "Mexican Pates". Between that and the rotating soups, you can't go wrong. Oh, and if you go on a Saturday night, be prepared to be patted down by a security guard (he was quite nice), and see a bunch of drunk people having a good time. You could be the next one! read more
