    Inside
    Anthony G.

    My family has driven by Mi Ranchito for years always meaning to one day eat there. Its always full of people every day. So we were wondering if its good. We finally tried it back in March. We had a very good experience. My one big gripe about the place is the ambience. The restaurant is maze like, and depending on where you're sat, your experience will greatly differ. If your sat in the front room, looks nice and pretty comfortable. We were sat in the back, not so nice, not so comfortable and the music was a bit loud. The on the house chips and salsa were good, and we ordered a spinach dip to start. The dip was weird. It was soupy, very liquid in consistency. We did not like it at all. My brother ordered the shrimp sizzling skillet for his main. No joke, if was sizzling all right. My brother absolutely enjoyed it! He has not had a good sizzling skillet like that one in years and he was supremely happy! I ordered the choripolo, which i also enjoyed. The chicken and chorizo were so flavorful, i cleaned that plate! My mom had an enchilada and a taco, she also liked quite a lot. Our server was attentive. So no issues with service. They need to make the dining experience a bit more consistent and certainly improve on that spinach dip. Either than that, it's a great place for a good meal!

    Vegetarian combo

    This has to be the busiest restaurant in Van Wert on a Saturday night. I was on my way home from Ottawa and stopped in to order a meal to go. I ordered a vegetarian combo of chimichanga, enchilada, beans, and rice, with a side of guacamole. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The guac was fresh and creamy. The salsa was a perfect texture, with a little heat, and very good. Chips were warm and fresh. This is a convenient location if you are driving on US 30. Fast service, large portions, good food, and reasonable prices. If you are a frequent traveler along US 30 (like me) you know there are few restaurant options besides fast food. This restaurant is a very convenient location, just off the exit. I call ahead to order, pick it up, and I'm back on the road quicker than going through any fast food drive-thru. Healthy options available too. Vegetarian fajitas were excellent with sautéed broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Very flavorful, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Beans, rice, chopped fresh vegetables, sour cream, and a large scoop of freshly guac were served with the fajitas. Chips were fresh and salsa had good flavor with a spicy kick.

    Great service and delicious food. This place is great. Service was excellent. José was very attentive without being obnoxious. I had the chicken steak and shrimp fajitas. There was a healthy portion of grilled tomatoes, peppers, and onions. I love the veggies. Barbie had a beef chimichanga with some beef tacos. She only ate one taco because she got full on the chimichanga. Just a side note, we always taste each other's food. The chimichanga was superb. If we are ever back in area, we will eat there again.

    Shrimp Cocktail

    I've been in town for a couple of weeks and after visiting and eating at different places, I keep coming back here. I've been 4 times thus far and all the dishes I've had have been very tasty. I had the tacos de carnitas, which were very generous and the meat was great! In normally ask for a hotter salsa and it complements them very well. I also had the shrimp cocktail (cóctel de camarones) and it was spicy...but I like hot food. It was good to me but maybe for others might be a bit hot. Tacos de asada were also very good. They came with a side of tasty beans. Like any Mexican restaurant, they give you chips and salsa when you arrive. The only problem? They only have Pepsi products. Mexican tacos taste much better with Coke in a glass bottle...my personal and humble opinion. They also have a good variety of Mexican beer...all of them bottled. This is now one of my favorite places in town!

    Large shareable dinner for 2.

    Enjoyed a quick dinner while driving through Van Wert. Service was very friendly and helpful. Food arrived very quickly after enjoying some chips and salsa. We loved that the salsa came in a sharing style bottle that you could pour into individual cups to dip. We shared a dinner for 2. I can't remember or pronounce what it was called but we each received 3 tortillas and all the sides (beans/rice/lettuce/guac/sour cream/salsa), then shared a large skillet of shrimp, chicken, steak, veggies, and chorizo. We both loved it and left with plenty of leftovers. Definitely a good place to stop if you're passing through this town on a road trip!

    It's my 700th review! High fives to all! Confetti dropping! Ahem...For my 700th review, I wanted it…read moreto be special. I decided to save it for a review of my favorite restaurant since moving to the area from Miami, Florida: Willow Bend Country Club. I first came to Willow Bend for lunch in December when I first traveled to Van Wert. I ate lunch with people from the company during the interview/recruitment process and I was impressed by the service and the delicious food. The fact that I got a social membership as part of my joining the company was a perk and certainly a reason why I started working for the company I am in now. I easily could have seen myself coming here to eat... place is nice... classy, and again the food is delicious! I have come a few times since then, leaving it as a place for special occasions including for when I found out I got the house I am currently living at. The waitresses and bar tenders are always friendly. Just love this place. I have eaten various items on this menu, I will focus on my favorites that I've had: 1) Asian Boneless Wings. I love wings, it's one of my favorite things to eat... but I am not a fan of boneless wings. I am a traditionalist and a bit of a snob when it comes to this. These wings, though, I will make an exception for my dislike of boneless wings. These wings which are breaded and covered in a sweet and spicy hoisin oriental sauce... is perfect. It expertly blends spicy and sweet so much, I don't care if they are boneless. 2) Baked Potato Soup. I love this kind of soup, and this is one of the better versions I've had. Especially good during a cold day! 3) Peach-Apple Glazed Pork Chop Ribeye. Another exception to my normal rules of food. I like pork chops with bone... I had boneless. These chops are so juicy... it doesn't matter! It's a bit sweet... almost too sweet for my taste but it just straddles that line... I could eat this over and over 4) 12 oz. Texas Ribeye. This is a big steak! It's a delicious, hearty-cut ribeye with a dried pepper and coffee rub seasoning, char-grilled to perfection... i normally can't finish a 12 oz... I did when I came here! I just couldn't put down my fork! Honorable mention: bread... allegedly made out of veggies? Waiter and manager didn't know which... still that's pretty good... and the bread was warm and soft... and with some butter.... mmmmm! I also feel I should mention that yes there is a golf course attached to this... haven't played and don't know how so I can't opine on that. Moreover, they do have events. I haven't been to one but I may attend the next one since they are bringing a comic... surf and turf dinner included in price. Willow Bend therefore is a great place to both eat and have some fun! I am super happy I am a member of such a wonderful country club! Never saw myself ever becoming a country club guy... but life has a way of surprising you! If you are in the area, join!

    Amazing food, great staff, and cozy atmosphere. My suggestions would be to promote outdoor seating…read moremore, have a less formal/stuffy atmosphere in the "lounge" area, and open it up to the public (at least partially)!!!
