I've been going to Mi Ranchito for over 20 years, close to when it first opened! This just happens to be the location I live by now. I love and adore Mi Ranchito. Their chips are the perfect level of thin and crispy, the salsa is great, and I love the wide range of margarita flavors they offer. As far as the service.... Again, been going here for two decades and I don't recall one single occasion of bad service. It's always been the kind of place where they recognize and appreciate the regulars. It's a good atmosphere! I suppose I should talk more about the food. Again, never a bad experience really. I get one of two things- the steak fajitas, which are good but not incredibly memorable- or the divine chicken cream cheese enchilada. I haven't been able to find it's like anywhere. I lived in Texas for three years and I LONGED for my cream cheese chicken enchiladas. The sauce, oh the sauce..... I always get extra, both for the dish itself and to dip my chips in. I will say that the only downside is doing to go or a call in order.... It is not exactly uncommon to find that an extra sauce is missing. Or, for example, if you don't specify that you want the free chips and salsa, it may not be in there. Just check the bag before you leave, that's all I'm saying. Still, one or two little mistakes absolutely will not stand in the way of a five star rating. I honestly love eating here. read more

The food was excellent with friendly professional service. We had a party of eight and they didn't add additional fees. Bright decor and a great time. read more

Came here for the first time. I've seen a few Mi Ranchitos and we've talked about going so we finally did. I admit, I'm sad I waited so long. The food was great, the Margaritas were in point and the price was amazing. Place was busy, there were a few "birthdays" going on, because there were lots of sombreros and singing going on. We had a Skal wait but nothing crazy and as busy as it was I didn't mind. We will be going back. read more

Mi Ranchito - Chili Relleno and Chicken Taco - Mexican Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

First time here in our search for Mexican food that compares to what we've been used to on the West Coast. So far, this was the best. My husband & I had enchiladas. I had cheese & he had chicken mole. He really enjoyed his - the mole was very flavorful. Mine were okay, but a little on the bland side. The salsa was okay, but had no heat at all - none. The service was good & friendly and the atmosphere is traditional & festive. Going to try something different next time as the menu is quite large, so it would be unfair to make a final judgement on just one item. I also like that they serve Pepsi products! read more

While this restaurant is not at the top of my list of favorite Mexican restaurants, it is in my top 10. The food here is well seasoned and the portions are more than enough to satisfy my appetite. I ordered the #9 combo from the extensive menu, and was pleased with my choice. The service was on par with a busy dinner service on Tuesday. Our server was friendly and attentive. If you're in the area and thinking about having tacos, burritos, or enchiladas for dinner, don't pass this place up. read more

Mi Ranchito - #9. Machaca beef burrito, Machaca enchilada, deep fried Machaca beef taco - Mexican Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

This is a great place for decent Mexican food. They have a nice assortment of margaritas and a large menu of food items. Be careful on when you go, they are regularly pretty crowded. Also, the back looks like the front when you enter, it's the only building that has its entrance on the opposite side. read more

Local KC chain of mediocre at best Mexican. Salsa and chips are very good! Tamales were all cornmeal and no carnitas. Chile Con Queso was yellow cheese and very bland. Service was fantastic! Our server was very attentive and nice! read more

Mi Ranchito - 2 Piece Pork Carnitas Tamales - Mexican Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

Immediately inviting and friendly with super fast service from Ashley G. I started with Cancun chicken - exceptional: it was both moist and flavorful. The salsa was not overly cilantro-dependent. Cheese dip was a good-sized portion. Pollo poblano was ok. Charring the veggies would have helped develop the flavor. Fried ice cream was on the sweet side but made perfectly. Highly recommend. read more

We got takeout from this place. It's in the neighborhood and these guys are pretty good in terms of service because they listen to you they ask you for some questions make sure you're ordering the right thing. They also make sure that you get extra sauce, complementary nachos and if you want to customize anything there is definitely do that too. I ordered a lot of food from this place many times but I think I'm a huge fan of their enchiladas so make sure you try them and they do run specials so check out their menu and make sure you see which day they are running what kind of a special, the crab and shrimp enchilada are bomb Make sure you try that. We also love their churros. It does represent a very TexMex style of a restaurant inside the ambience is OK. We haven't had much chance to sit with a larger group of people, but it's place to go in the neighborhood and have some nice Tex-Mex food. read more

We LOVE Francis at Mi Ranchito!! He's taken care of our family SO many times. And A LOT during my pregnancy. I craved cream cheese chicken enchiladas a lot and he took care of us so much, we had to bring the baby after he was born! Francis is like having a family member serve us every time. We always get so happy when we get to have him as our waiter!! He's truly the best waiter ever. read more

If we could use half stars, I'd add one here. We were seated quickly, in a spacious booth, and not relegated to one of the tiny tables in middle of everything, as two women alone in restaurants often are. The server was very good, and started us out right with a big basket of complimentary chips, perfectly thin and crispy, and our own separate bowls of tomato sauce, along with one small bowl of a very liquid avocado sauce without much flavor. I like Margaritas tart and limey, and theirs didn't have enough of either, but they were decent, and at two 12 oz. glasses for $7, I'd never turn them down! I think it was Happy Hour. We both had the Mango Chicken Salad, which includes strawberry, mangos, and avocado slices, Monterey Jack cheese, corn, black beans, and sliced grilled chicken over (actually) fresh greens, served with both honey mustard and mango vinaigrette dressings on the side. It was good, and I would order it again, but I'd request more fruit to liven up the flavor. Their menu is huge, and overwhelming. It seemed to be full of interesting items...but I was too weary after a long day at work to look through it, and relied on my friend's salad recommendations. read more

Mi Ranchito - Chips! - Mexican Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

We like the food at Mi Ranchito., but the take out service is unreliable. On multiple occasions, our order was either incomplete or completely wrong. But, we never complained because it's too far of a drive to go back to have our order corrected. Recently, on Mother's Day, my wife chose Mi Ranchito take out for her special celebration meal. She asked me to double check the order when I picked it up I forgot to check it. I got home and realized her order was wrong. It was a taco salad instead of a chicken enchilada. I called the restaurant. This time, I wanted our money back. I had to wait on the phone to talk to a manager. Finally, I spoke to the manager whose first suggestion was for me to drive back and pick up a corrected order. WRONG!!! I wasn't going to drive 30 minutes each way for their convenience. I asked for my money back for at least my wife's order. She reluctantly complied and said she would credit the whole order. It has been three weeks and we haven't seen a credit for our order. We are SUPER glad there is a New Mexican restaurant coming a couple of blocks away from Mi Ranchito. Maybe when Mi Ranchito gets some competition in the neighborhood they will be forced to add quality checks to their take out service. read more

Got the worst case of food poisoning here! Should've know to turn around when the woman walking out as we walked in was holding her stomach and saying g she was going to get sick. read more

The food came out really fast but it was nothing more than average. My server didn't refill my drink a single time even after I asked him multiple times. And the overall environment seemed lazy, chaotic and just everyone was all over the place. read more

First time since before the pandemic I've actually dine in here and has changed. We went just before the dinner rush to avoid the crowd on a Saturday (anytime after 4:30). Got seated, drinks & chips super fast. Our entrées came with 10 minutes after ordering & were smoking hot. The chicken in our tacos & burritos were uber tender & flavorful. The tacos were loaded with chicken & cheese, made to order minus tomatoes. Drinks are always stiff and never lack a buzz ! read more

I always remembered this place as being hit or miss. Gave it a try on a Friday afternoon around 2:00. We were seated right away, and our server was very friendly and attentive. Chips were absolutely PERFECT! They were perfectly crispy and warm, and were just thick enough to not break easily. Salsa was very good. Not too thick, and not too runny or chunky. More of a puréed texture. I had one of the best Skinny Margaritas I've had at a Mexican restaurant here in JOCO. Food was great as well. I would have liked for the bell peppers in the Rancheras enchiladas to have been cooked longer so they weren't so crunchy. Also, there were only green peppers, no yellow or red. They did allow me to change the sauce on my enchilada dish, which I really appreciated. Will definitely be back, mostly for the chips and salsa and skinny margarita. *I am not a huge fan of the ambiance. So if you are looking for something cozy or cool, this is not the place. It is very loud, bright, and open. read more

Large menu including just about any Mexican food item that you wish. Typical atmosphere for a Mexican restaurant, where there is no mistaking you are in a Mexican sitting MARGARITAS Impressive margarita list with daily margarita specials. I ordered the Tuesday special in frozen form and it was really good. It was full of tequila and a large glass! FOOD I ordered the Mole Chicken Enchilada. It was good. The mole was spicy, the kind that builds over time. I liked it but avoid if you don't like spice. The Chips and Salsa was not my favorite. The standard salsa was bland. We asked for spicy salsa and it was really hot, too hot for me. I'm not sure if they offer medium. Overall it served its purpose for a Taco Tuesday dinner but not a place I'd crave to return to. read more

Being in Olathe - there's always a debate about which Mexican restaurant is the best. Jose Peppers - Kmachos - MI ranchito - jalapeños - Oscar's.....we have wayyyy too many good options around here! I'm a sucker for Jose Peppers but decided We would give MI ranchito a shot! It actually surprised me more than I was thinking. Super cute place. Service was incredible. Huge menu selection. Chips were hot, salty and delicious! And salsa was amazing. I got a chimichanga and substituted the black beans for refried beans. And I'm not a huge fan of Mexican rice but like cilantro lime rice better usually - however they did not have this option. The rice and beans were okay..not my favorite - but I barely eat them anyways no matter what place I eat at so that's fine. The chimichanga was amazing, rich, hot and packed full! Hubs got the enchiladas Ranchero with steak and the steak was very nicely seasoned and stuffed with goods as well. The steak was a tiny bit chewy - but that's usually expected in an enchilada. We also are a sucker for queso so had to compare the espinaca dip - it was thick and hot and a very nice portion. Definitely planning on coming back here! read more

Ordered from the 119th location in Olathe. Got the #4 and with the exception of the tamale everything was good. Taco was crispy, enchilada was small but delicious, but the tamale didn't have a lot of filling in it. Espinaca dip was great, just enough spice so it wasn't bland. read more

The food is super mediocre and the service is horrible. They messed up my order and then were super rude when I asked for it to be fixed. Atmosphere is what you expect, super cramped and just not that pleasant, might as well go to Taco Bell if you want better service or even food. read more

I eat here about once a month. I love that they have multiple vegetarian options. On most recent takeout order I got both the veggie burrito and the veggie enchiladas. Basically the same meal but I prefer the burrito since it is less messy and cheaper. Although I do think you get slightly more food with the enchiladas. read more

Chips, salsa, and water were on our table in about 60 seconds from sitting down! And our meals came to the table about 10 minutes after we ordered them! Speed of service is NOT an issue at this Mi Ranchito! I would say our service was indeed quick and completely accurate, but not necessarily 'warm'. But if you'd like tons of great Mexican food options, an everlasting flow of chips and mild salsa, and an environment filled with color with a south-of-the-border theme, then check it out! And kids portions were HUGE! read more

Mi Ranchito Olathe surprised us last night with delicious food and amazing service. Our chicken fajitas, fish tacos and another chicken dish were all very good with plenty of leftovers. I loved the beans while the rice could do better. The cheese dip was fantastic and had a little kick to it. The chips were complimentary and served warm but the salsa was nothing to write home about. The flour tortillas were served piping hot and the whole experience from getting seated to paying the check was smooth and quick. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would certainly be back! read more

Great lunch spot. Fast, delicious. Cream cheese chicken enchilada lunch is my go to. Their cheese dip is very creamy and flavorful. Great service. read more

The good thing about Kansas City, is that there's isn't a shortage of Mexican restaurants. My favorite thing about getting Mexican food is probably the endless supply of chips & salsa before the meal (and Mi Ranchito did not disappoint). Basically came here after reading reviews about the queso (is. Espinaca dip) and twas' really yummy with a good ratio of spinach/ tomato. Got the margarita as well during happy hour, and it was good (I always like it when drinks come with a slice of fruit for presentation). For an entree: got the chicken fajitas. Was not my favorite (the chicken didn't have a lot of seasoning/ flavor). read more

Mi Ranchito - Chorizo Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

Easily the worst Mexican food you'll receive in the KC metro area. There are dozens of better options all over the place.

My aunt lives this place and this location specifically. I had never tried it, so of course I wanted it. I already knew the drinks were huge, and might I say they were quite tasty as well. There were four of us in our party, & we did not wait long for our food. Mi Ranchito gives you huge portions with their entrees. Every single person at my table ordered something different, and I seriously wanted to try every item. I ordered the chili con queso fajita enchilada with chicken. My meal didn't stand a chance. Everything was so flavorful and enough to get me full. This is certainly a place where you could order one dish and stick to that dish because it's so good, or try something new on your next visit because you have KK doubt that their other options would be just as tasty. The only downside to the entire visit, was that my spicy jalapeño margarita could have been a little bit spicier. Other than that, the flavor was certainly there. I will certainly be returning! read more

This restaurant is using regular menus (instead of paper ones). I asked if they were being cleaned and the waiter said that "he thought so." The food was not the greatest and it was super greasy. We ordered chile relleno and were charged $2 extra just for 3 tortillas. That dish should already come with tortillas, so it doesn't seem appropriate to charge extra. The waiter maybe was just having a bad day, but we felt like he was very indifferent. We were the ones asking for more drinks and/or refills. He asked a couple times if we needed boxes, but we weren't finished eating. I'm sure people are obnoxious right now, so I'm not going to totally blast him on everything. I don't go to this restaurant enough to know if this is the normal here or not, but just make sure you're aware of the up charges on everything and hopefully your server will be having a better day. read more

I've only had the fajitas here and I love them. They give you enough to take home for lunch the next day. Every time I've been here it has been packed and it has been a 15 to 20 minute wait but I think it's well worth it. During nice weather you can ask to be seated outside and they will typically's seat you outside quickly. Overall the staff is super friendly and has their moments of being fast. read more

Food was good. Waiter was pleasant. However, staff not very friendly for people in wheelchairs. I was struggling getting the door open while I was pulling my mother's wheelchair. I moved a single chair staged at the narrow door, so we could get thru. The hostess rushed up to move the chair back.... Not to assist or even open the other outer door. The other workers -three people, one appearing to be a supervisor, just stood there and watched. The chicken tamales were very good... but experience was tainted by the lack manners or civility. read more

we had a graet time there realy kind the service is great they put chips on the table and we didnt even ask rating 5 stars

Customer service is terrible. I met some friends here for lunch. Each of us ordered a lunch meal. We had to wait several minutes and had to ask for our waitress to come back so we could order. There was someone else filling our glasses who wasn't our waitress (which was unusual). She was super nice. Never once when our meals came out did our waitress or anyone ask if everything was ok. The only contact we had with our waitress after we received our food was for us to pay. We had finished and paid (tickets brought out before we were done). After we were done we were chatting and catching up. The waitress came over and asked us to leave because people were waiting to be seated (this was almost 130pm on a Saturday). We got up to leave and as we left, there was as no one waiting to be seated. Not inside or outside. Considering there are other locations or places to eat, I will not be back. read more

I LOVE MI RANCHITO. Drinks: The Margaritas are amazing. Ask for a strawberry mango with sugar on the rim. Appetizers: The espinaca dip is a MUST HAVE. It is insanely delicious. Entree: I always get the cream cheese chicken enchiladas with no beans and extra rice! The combination of flavors is to die for. This is a MUST VISIT place for anyone in the Kansas City area. read more
