    Pork Carnitas Tamales. Where's the meat?
    Clint W.

    I haven't been to Mi Ranchitos for years. I remember why. The food is so so. I've had way better Mexican food with way more meat. I always love anything with Carnitas. The tamales was mostly the masa and a sliver of meat.

    Jalisco Chimichang
    Mohamed M.

    I've visited Mi Ranchito several times, and I must say the food is really good. The service is commendable, and the atmosphere is acceptable. My absolute favorite is the Jalisco chimichanga - it's absolutely delicious! Overall, a satisfying experience.

    Chips & Espinaca queso
    Friday B.

    The food was pretty good. The salsa was nice and fresh and the chips were hot when we got them. We ordered espinaca queso, the chicken quesadilla appetizer, and a burrito feliz. Queso: It was honestly wayyy spicier than I expected. I wasn't able to eat very much of it. Also, there's a TON of spinach in it! Not a bad thing but just something to note. It was a fairly large bowl, too. We got a side of rice with it which was unfortunately really dry and undercooked. It also had corn in it and came with green onions on top. Quesadillas: They come with chicken, cheese, onions, and peppers, as well as guac and pico de gallo. They were nice and hot and had a good amount of cheese. It came with 4 pieces total. Burrito feliz: It's HUGE! It doesn't come with sides, but does have lots of cheese. The ground beef inside was well-seasoned and there was a good amount of it. The pork came in much larger pieces than expected, which was kind of off-putting so we didn't like that bit very much. Overall, a nice meal with some leftover to eat at home. Also, our waitress was AMAZING??? Her name was Claudia and she was so kind and attentive, definitely one of the best I've ever had. The restaurant itself was a bit loud, but nothing crazy. The music was an okay volume too. Overall, I'd recommend trying Mi Ranchito! They have a pretty large and diverse menu at a fairly reasonable price point. Along with everything I mentioned above, we also ordered a Pepsi and the total came out to just under $38 pre-tip.

    Strawberry margarita. So good. But I'm not even sure there was alcohol in it.

    Went early on a Saturday. There was plenty of space on the patio, which was great, as the weather was beautiful. We were seated right away. However, it took forever for us to be greeted. We asked for a drink menu, and she said she would bring it with waters. By that point, we had already been sitting for 10+ minutes. After 15, we flagged someone down and just ordered drinks. Throughout the whole night, the service was honestly awful. And SO slow. Our server wasn't even apologetic or anything. Another server that was training someone helped us most of the night. Also, I ordered TWO 20oz strawberry margaritas. They were delicious. But I swear the didn't even have tequila in them. Usually I'm buzzed after one small margarita, but I felt nada after drinking these. The food is amazing. But the service at this location sucks. And they don't seem to care, which is the worst part.

    Two margarita to start kinda day
    Daniel Z.

    We've been to other locations in town but we drove by this one on Friday night and noticed open patio seating. Order margaritas which were very large and pretty good. Service was nice and at times efficient but mostly on the slow side. I order the La Grande Chimichanga and it was just ok but pretty bland, served sliced like it was a wrap at a sandwich shop. The black beans needed to be drained and rinsed prior to being stuffed into a chimichanga as they just made the whole thing taste like fried black bean residue. Chips served with salsa were solid but definitely request the spicy salsa as it's much better. Price was very good for two meals and two margaritas. I'd go back to try something else.

    Three stars is just about right. Nothing great being served up here. The atmosphere is nice but the food is forgettable.

    The worst customer service. Food is not worth it and the atmosphere looked like someone threw up in here.

    Never will I go back to this place. Food and drinks are overrated. Also, if you are friends of the manager you get seated right away.

    Don't judge a book by its reviews…read more.. I've done some looking at this place and felt very skeptical coming in. I wasn't even sure if I was going to enjoy myself but boy was I wrong. To start off Rafael, at the front was very funny and made it very comforting. He made conversation with us and was very accommodating. We also received free chips and queso which was my daughter's favorite! The place itself is very calm and just seems like a chill spot to come for a quick eat. I ordered the steak tacos and veggie burrito (which Rafael fixed up for me on regular price with no extra charges for adding fries). We enjoyed our food and had a great time. Everything was delicious and Rafael did a great job on making this a good time for us. I wasn't really a big fan of their horchata but they had other good drinks available. I want to add that I feel like we started receiving special treatment because they realized we were yelpies so I don't know how service is on a regular day. Altogether, I'll be coming back here again!

    We went to this place for a girls day and it was the perfect lunch spot for us. As soon as we came…read morein, one of the workers, Rafael (i think was his name) greeted us with enthusiasm. He told us about the menu and even let us try the horchata before purchasing! The customer service was perfection. That alone would bring me back. I thought the horchata was great but ended up getting the sangria (non alcoholic). The quesobiria was fireeeee and came with grilled onions and a pepper. For 2 tacos, menudo sauce, a drink, onion, and pepper, it was about 10 dollars. That is extremely reasonable! We also enjoyed the interior because it felt home like. My favorite part was the chips and queso, which was the perfect balance of creamy and salty.

My #33 fajita burrito lunch ($11.99) included a nicely sized burrito packed with plenty of tasty, moist meat and fajita veggies. It also included okay portions of flavorful rice and beans along with a small salad and a small dessert. It was served just nine minutes after I ordered at the table, which gave me time to dig into the complimentary thin & crispy chips, salsa verde and mild, tasty salsa. I found the service to be stellar - attentive, cheerful, friendly and polite - nice! The beverage, chips and salsa refills kept coming. The spacious interior was clean and colorful with a main dining area, a secondary dining area and a bar area with more seating. I noticed Mexican background music and several TVs in the bar area. Parking in downtown OP is a free for all, so the lot in front of the restaurant was full before the restaurant opened. It's good that there were plenty of free parking lots and street parking nearby. Overall, very good!
