    Carne Asada
    Dallas A.

    Mi Rancho serves decent food that fills you up at a fair price. I got the carne asada, which was cooked well, but didn't have a lot of flavor to it. The food was prepared very quickly -- about 10 minutes after ordering it. The inside of the restaurant some neat decorations hanging on the wall, and there is an outdoor patio for seating as well. The server was nice, though after checking in for refills, they forgot to bring any of the refills back to the table, and never checked on us again. I'd return here again, but would personally look for other Mexican restaurants around Staunton first.

    My empty plate. But I have full and satisfied stomach!

    I always say that Mexican cuisine is not my favorite but I absolutely love Mi Rancho! The food is so fresh and flavorful. Everything is good. There is a fun family atmosphere and the service is friendly and fast even though they are usually pretty busy. My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant.

    After our run at Gypsy Hill we decided to try Mi Rancho for dinner. We ordered two combination plates. Prices are fair and the food was delicious. We also ordered 2 jumbo margaritas. They were very good. We will definitely go back. The service is adequate. I recommend this restaurant, we will return and bring some friends with us.

    This is supposed to be Chile Relleno, or at least that's what I ordered and this is what I received.

    Great food and service but they need to provide you a ticket with the price on it. I feel that I was overcharged.

The prime rib was cooked well, the mussels were flavorful, and the barbecue platter had a good variety. The service was great--fast, courteous, and attentive without making us feel rushed.

COVID -19 ended years ago, so what's the excuse when inflation is less than 5% annually. I would love to continue visiting, but I can't justify prices that egregiously expensive, particularly in this economy. And it seems to have started in 2025. See the photos. Mill Street BBQ Platter: $22.99 $40.99 (+78%) St. Louis Combo: $22.99 $40.99 (+78%) Flintstone Platter: $29.99 $51.99 (+73%) Beef Ribs Full Rack: $23.99 $58.99 (+146%) And before anyone blames beef prices: per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, retail ground beef went up about 24% from December 2024 to August 2026, and wholesale beef is only up about 3% over the past year. That doesn't come close to explaining a 146% jump on beef ribs. I hope the prices can come back down to Earth sometime soon. Fair pricing was always one of the primary reasons I recommended your restaurant.

It's a little dense--and therefore salt heavy--at the edges, but the rest of the steak helps to balance that. The veggies were very good for flavor with a smoked meat flavor in the greens and a really nice flavor I couldn't put my finger on for the green beans. The only reason I would not go 5 stars is that the overall thing especially the veggies was too salty. And I'm a fan of salt. I'd go a little easier when prepping the finished items like that.

I got some to go. The slice was large and delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant especially if the food and great service is your focus. I put this on my favorites list.

There are so many options in this lovely town but I made a reservation at Zynodoa because I have been on a farm-to-table kick lately. The servers and hosts were all lovely, interacting with both the guests and each other professionally and amicably. My server Sarah gave me as much attention as anyone else, even though I was the only person dining alone. I ordered the tomato and burrata appetizer. I am not a big raw tomato eater but I knew if these were truly farm-to-table, they would taste good, and they did. The flavor felt like a combination of sunshine and a warm hug! The cheese tasted like a sweet kiss. The portion was substantial, and there was balsamic reduction and a generous amount of coarse pesto. I ate the whole thing! For the main course I ordered the flat iron steak. Because I was traveling and didn't want leftovers, I asked the server for a smaller portion than listed, but either I wasn't clear or it wasn't an option--It's okay, though. I ordered the steak medium rare but it was a shade above rare; again, okay. Sides were good but I added salt. The meal was a bit pricey but probably fair given that it was sourced locally. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the chef is heavy handed on the sauces, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. Oh, I ordered the pinot noir and it was good, smooth, balanced. Overall impression of Zynodoa was it felt like visiting the home of a friend with a garden who loves to cook and share with her friends. The portions were generous and the seasoning was substantial. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Staunton.

The cocktail and mocktails were flavorful and well priced. Our waiter was great. Very knowledgeable about the menu, town and ingredients. We started with the Chicken Liver pate. This was well prepared, although I hate when a restaurant provides an odd number of toasts for two people. We asked for an extra piece and thought it was funny that they gave us exactly one. FYI- it comes with several accoutrements which were tasty, but the mustard was really the most satisfying. My wife had the brisket, which I would call a must have. Fantastic Asian spices, fried rice ball and Kimchi. Just an explosion of flavors. I was glad she shared. (This is uncommon) I had the pork chop and it was really pretty. Unfortunately, it lacked flavor and I had to carve off the fat which made up about 1/3rd of the chop. The bone was the other third...so it turned out to be a thick but modest cut. That said, it was on a lovely bed of mash and some of the best blue and white carrots I ever had. We finished with the carrot cake. (All of the desserts are made onsite.) which we learned was gluten free. Honestly if it was marked GF I wouldn't have ordered it. Anyway, when it arrived I thought we received the wrong thing. It looked like a decorative cliff bar. Once we took a bite we were blown away by the flavors and texture. It was delicious. Such a great experience. We were near the kitchen, so we got to see the head chef get orders out. There were some highs and lows, but the overall experience was really nice.

It's just horrible Mexican food. For example, I got a taco salad once, a simple taco salad. It was bean soup in a shell. Maybe a tablespoon of ground beef, an ounce of lettuce, and refried beans. Nothing else. No flavor. I used it for a dip. I've purchased the fajitas; tasted nothing like any fajitas I've had in my life.
