I called to place an order for take out. I ordered a vegan burrito, however, the woman taking my order claimed they didn't have vegan burritos. I told her where they were on the menu. Then she told me that they didn't have rice and black beans, they only had regular beans and rice. I asked what she meant by "regular". She repeated herself. I asked if she meant that the rice and beans were cooked in lard, thus, that they weren't vegan. Again, she said "No, they are just regular". I said that was fine, still not knowing what she meant. She told me the total and said it would be ready in ten minutes. When I received my burrito, I noticed that it was very cold. Though the vegan burrito is supposed to contain "mixed veggies, rice, black beans, cilantro, avocado, and salsa verde", the burrito I received contained primarily rice, a few beans, and a small amount of lettuce. I put it in the oven when I got home and it tasted better once it was warm. I cannot speak to their other menu items, but I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking for a meatless burrito. read more

Mi Ranchito - "Vegan Burrito" - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Love Mi Ranchito Not in the best neighborhood but unlike its sketchy location the food is nothing short of one of the best authentic tasting Mexican food I've had. We literally just drove to our neighboring state and had lunch here in Reno. The restaurant is the unit at the end of an older property in a strip mall. It has a private parking lot shared by its business neighbors. There is also street parking available. Inside is not very big with some booths and table seating. We chose a booth and was approached by a young waitress who provided us a couple of menus. She wore a mask but I hope they sanitized those menus often. They weren't paper to be disposed after each use. We placed our orders shortly after. I chose an enchilada combo plate that came with rice and beans. Hubby ordered a carne asada burrito. My meal was delicious, cheap and plentiful. My husband's beef burrito looked good too but said he preferred the carne asada grilled. He still ate it hungrily, though. LoL We also enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. The restaurant is family-owned and they checked on us often to see if we needed anything. We didn't need 'to go' boxes... we wolfed down everything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Review #1817 read more

Mi Ranchito - Soooo bomb! Armadillo - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My hubby and I LOVE going to Mi Ranchito any chance we get. Marta is the kindest owner who genuinely cares about her customers and the food she prepares. Her shrimp and vegetable soup is my favorite soup in town. It full of shrimp and great flavors... and the broth is delicious. The shrimp tacos and vegetarian burritos are also our favorites. Everything tastes fresh and lovingly prepared. The menu has so many choices so that everyone can find their favorites. The restaurant is located in a very run down strip mall, with a boarded-up neighboring storefront, but don't let that stop you from going to this restaurant. The food and service is great! It's also important to support our local family-run businesses! read more

Mi Ranchito is just one of those staples of living and breathing college life in Reno. Went there to enjoy some amazing Mexican food with friends and the quality is there! I had a vegetarian burrito and was impressed at how the tortilla was cooked crispy on the outside, it added a great crunchy texture which I haven't had before with a vegetarian burrito. Salsa was fantastic too, and the chips and salsa was never ending! Other people in our party are really good looking tacos, some were less than $3 per taco! It's hard to find a decent price restaurant in town now and these guys sell quality food at a great deal! read more

Omg.. best Carne Asada tacos I have ever had! My family of four went here for lunch, my kids and I got the taco platter and my husband got enchiladas. Everything was delicious, pricing was excellent. Our server was very nice and fast with drinks and checking on us. The restaurant was clean and decorated nicely. Overall I am so ready to go back again, we've been searching for a good Mexican restaurant here in town and have definitely found our place. You HAVE to try it! read more

Terrible service. Waitress was inattentive and gave me a canned soda that tasted expired. Food was mediocre at best. Will never come back

I was searching for cheap eats near the Skate rink and this place popped up. I really like Chili verde so came here to try it out. There was no one here when I arrived. I dined in and had food take-away for wife and kids as they were skating. I ordered the Chili Verde alacart ($6.50), the Chili Relleno alacart and some guacamole. For the kids we got the Asada fries, 5 street tacos of each: carne Asada, Chili verde, Al Pastor. Then the wife had the carne Asada combination plate. All the food tasted good. The Chili Verde was tender and had a good mix of onions/peppers in the green sauce. I am used to abit more spice, but very nice. Each of my ala cart items had a nice Dallop of guacamole/sour cream. The Relleno was stuffed with cheese and cooked perfectly. The garnish of lettuce, choppedr tomatoes and guacamole/sour cream was nice. The only issue I had was the guacamole. It was tasty, but not much avocado flavor. The Asada fries had plenty of meat and the kids loved them. The street tacos were only $1.35 so I tlet the kids have what they wanted. My wife said the Carne Asada was great so I highly recommend this place if you want good Mexican food and a good price. read more

Man! When I say hidden gem, I mean hidden gem! Me and my girlfriend were in the mood for some tacos before we headed home after a night of gambling, and Mi Ranchito popped up on yelp. It was kind of out of the way, but the reviews were so positive, we had to give it a shot. 15 minutes later, we were so happy we did. It is nestled in the corner of a few stores that look like they are abandoned, but do not let that deter you. Once we walked in, we were greeted and given a menu to look over. Everything was super reasonable! We ordered 4 tacos, and a quesadilla, and it all came out to 13 bucks! What a deal!! But wait, just because it's affordable doesn't mean it is good.. but that's not the case for this place. Everything was AMAZING! The tacos were great. Good sizes, and the meat was very flavorful. What blew us away was the quesadilla! We ordered a regular one thinking we'd just get cheese and a tortilla, but it came with meat, sour cream, AND guac. It was delicious. Point blank. If you're in the mood for great Mexican food for an amazing price, this is the place to go. I will for sure be back next time I'm in the Reno area!! read more

We travel to Reno regularly and are always looking for a good restaurants. So happy we found this hidden gem! We will be making it a regular stop in the future. My son and husband got the quesibirria tacos. We shared super nachos and I ordered the carne asada fries. 10/10. I also got horchata and it was so yummy I ordered two to go. Also 10/10. The service was also great the woman helping us was super helpful and friendly and the restaurant was nice and clean! We will definitely be back!! read more

I love this place, the staff are super friendly here. I ask in spanish if I can practice spanish with them while ordering, and they're very helpful. Tells you how patient they are! (Of course I do this when its slow inside) Besides the awesome service, food is tasty and priced very low. I had 2 chorizo, 2 al pastor, 1 carnitas, and 1 asado hard taco. Go for the chorizo and carnitas tacos!! Cons: I wish they had a thicker guacamole and a salsa bar available. Also, fresh jalapenos or fried whole jalapenos. When I ordered a side of jalapenos it was the pickled kind. I was hoping to break a sweat. But its summer time in Reno so I'll just step outside for that... If you like low key hole in the walls, come here! read more

Hooray for chilaquiles, I finally found you! Or did I? I feel more like I played a game of "Where's Huevos?" at Mi Rachito. I came across an article about the best hole-in-the-wall eatery in every state, and lo and behold, Mi Rachito was on it! Cooler still, it's right by the kids' school, so lucky me! But, they open later than drop-off time, so when I found a little extra time before school was out, I came in for some Hobbit-esque 2nd lunch. The dining room is cute, clean and wasn't busy between lunch and dinner hours. I sat and was attended to promptly, and the chips and salsa were fair, and I only had water to drink as picking up kiddos was next in line. I was excited to finally have a stab at my Mexican breakfast fave, but that quickly faded when I was presented with a plate of soupy chips that here heavy on cheese but missing eggs. I thought breakfast chilaquiles had eggs, am I wrong? I suppose I could have made a fuss, but I didn't have time to dispute it. It was served with a nice tomato/lettuce/guac/sour cream garnish but without the eggs it really seemed more like too wet, soggy nachos. I suppose I would try there again, being right by the school and all, but wouldn't hurry back again soon for this dish. read more

Mi Ranchito - Taco Burrito Deal - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The food tastes great, it always comes out quickly and the staff is always friendly! I typically inhale their burritos, they are so good.

One of the best authentic Mexican places I've ever tried. After we left with our bellies full, my bf told me this was a good find. I told him that I had Yelp to thank for that. Honestly, if it weren't for all the positive Yelp reviews, we would have never stopped at this location. When the GPS told us that we had arrived at our destination, I had to double check the address. The shops looked around the area looked kind of ghetto and sketchy. Once we were inside, we felt at home with the aroma and warm colors. My bf ordered one of their lunch specials-- 3 tacos with a side of beans and rice. Lunch special prices are about $7-$8. I ordered a carne asada tostada with a side of beans and rice. My bf's chicken tacos looked plain but the green sauce gave it a little kick. My tostada was full of flavor and not too salty. Unlike other Mexican places, I was able to finish my entire plate of food without having leftovers. Great for portion control. 3 tacos w/rice and beans: $7 Carne Asada tostada: $3.50 1 side of beans: $1.50 1 side of rice: $1.50 1 giant coke: $3.00 This place is close to University of Reno, so we saw a some college kids ordering food. Not too packed, with plenty of seating. Clean inside. Didn't see salsa bar. Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 read more

Hands down the best burrito in Reno! Carne Asada is on point. Excellent salsa as well.

Pay attention to the prices here. What they charge and what the menu says is quite a bit different. My brothers dinner was $2 more and mine was $1.50 more. His Asada was tough and not very good at all. Definitely not worth the menu price and especially not worth what they charged. When I questioned this, the owner came over and said that it is tacky to write over the menu prices I think it is more tacky to charge that much more than what your menu says. It's also tacky to bring chips and salsa that were not even requested and charge for them. Our waiter just said he'd be out with our chips and salsa, not would you like to order some? The food is really not that good and especially not for the prices she is charging. Our waiter gave good service and was nice, but I think they should be more upfront about their prices. I am pretty sure that is not even legal to do that, but whatever. I won't be back. read more

Amazing food! Fabiola is such a kind person and it's always a pleasure to have her as a waitress :)

Came here a little before noon on a Friday. There are about 6 booths and 6 tables in the place. A few were occupied. By 12:15pm, they were all occupied. It appeared as though they were able to handle the lunch crowd with no problems. We were brought chips and salsa which was very good. the salsa is not a chunky salsa but does have a few chunks of onion, cilantro and tomato in it. We placed our order and it arrived in a timely fashion. Both the Chili Verdi and the Beef Enchiladas were very good. This is a nice smaller Mexican restaurant that is good for lunch. But they are open from 9am to 9pm everyday and have breakfast and dinner entrees as well. Prices are reasonable, the service was good (They even anticipated my need for a to go box without asking.) and the food is tasty. read more

Authentic Mexican. Simple, unassuming but great food! Everything was flavorful and fresh. Super friendly service made us feel at home.

The family were heading to Reno for a concert and wanted to eat before. I looked up Yelp for suggestions and this place showed up with a 4.5 rating. We got there and was a little hesitant about the location and no one being in there. This place is a hole in the wall place. The server was friendly. Their prices is incredible. Their portion sizes on the large size. The food was all so delicious. Authentic Mexican. While eating, people were starting to come in to pick up their to go order. A couple of more table were full. The server checked with us and filled up our waters. This place is highly recommended if you don't want to go to a Mexican Resturant and be charged $12-$14 for a wet burrito. The rest of the prices were fantastic. The burrito whe 2 street tacos an amazing lettuce of $8.5! Next time we are in town, we know where we will be eating! read more

All I have to go on is the burrito itself. See I didn't personally visit Mi Ranchito, but I was the happy recipient of a burrito from there today. Scheduling made the normal lunch window a little awkward. So it was a remote meeting while eating scenario that fit the bill, and a portable burrito was the perfect choice. I got the al pastor burrito, no rice. I hate rice in burritos. It's just filler. But I'll say this one may have benefitted from it. The filling was meaty and beany, like it should be, but it was also saucy and a little loose. I feel like the rice would have balanced out the saucy interior quite well. Flavor wise, the al pastor was good, but it wasn't as well seasoned as others I've had. It was also a bit meatier in texture, like a child verde pork chunk vs. the thin slices or small pieces of tender al pastor I'm used to. I actually really enjoyed this burrito, and that's coming from someone who doesn't like burritos. Can't wait to actually visit the biz! read more

My favorite spot to get my authentic Mexican food fix. They're tacos and sopes are out of this world yummy. Being from Southern California and living in a very densely hispanic populated area I feel I've become a Mexican food snob of sorts. If lingua isn't on the menu, I'm not eating there (only the best Mexican food places serve lingua IMO). The chile relleno tacos are my absolutely favorite. I'm in a few times a week to get my fix. At $1.35 for a regular street taco and $2 for a crunchy taco, I can afford to eat here several times a week. A HUGE thank you to the wonderful people who work here as well, they're always smiling and welcoming. Love this place. read more

This Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem! Located on the corner of a shared building even I looked past it before. Not going to lie, it looks very rundown and had a shady vibe to it but never judge a book by its cover. After looking at all the great reviews I knew I had to check it out and I am so glad I did! The prices are so reasonably cheap while the quality is still high. Everything is made fresh and they also offer complimentary chips and salsa. They also do to go orders which is very convenient. My favorite is the carne asada tacos. I definitely recommend this place for authentic but affordable Mexican food! read more
