I had to drop my vehicle off down the street and ate here for lunch while waiting. I've eaten at this location before and have gotten mixed reviews. I ordered my food with chicken, add zucchini and no lettuce (I'm allergic to the lettuce). When I got my plate, lettuce was on it so I sent it back. Then when it came back, it was a steak burrito. Not a big fan that I had to send it back the first time but the second time was even irritating. I assume these mistakes happen because the servers assume they don't need to take down the order in the slightest amount, then they forget the details by the time they put the order into the kitchen. My issue with this is that the waitress didn't take blame for it and blamed it on her kitchen both times and never offered any money off the bill for the problems. Because of the waitress's lack of responsibility and that there was more than one error, I gave them three stars. I took another star off for the fact that the red enchilada sauce didn't taste good. read more

We went here today for the first time since ownership and name change, now Vaqueros Mexican Grill. The food was really good, salsa tasted great, staff were very friendly and it was nice and clean inside. Hubby had the number 1 which was a ground beef burrito, cheese enchilada, beans and rice and a barbacoa crunchy taco. I had the chiquito sampler which had beef nachos, quesadillas, taquitos and flautas. it was all good. We also had the best house margarita we have had in a long time. It was actually a mixed drink, not just mixer with ice. We will definitely be back. read more

Vaqueros Mexican Restaurant is a solid choice for anyone looking for a casual dining experience with decent food and drinks at reasonable prices. Their happy hour deals are definitely worth checking out, and the friendly service adds to the overall positive vibe. I would recommend it for a laid-back evening out! read more

Delicious food and yummy cocktails. I ordered the Mexican candy margarita and it's delicious if you like sweet drinks. The michelada just hit the spot perfectly. A fun atmosphere with the cooks singing in the back and we had excellent service. Same owners, cooks, and staff as Mi Ranchito just under a new name. Will definitely be back! read more

I Absolutely love this place!! So much so that I try to keep it a secret from most people lol. There's a real authentic feel here and you can tell they put their heart and soul into every dish. The entire place from the workers to the decor to the music makes you feel at home. I think everything on the menu is great but I'd be wrong not to recommend my favorites: the quesadilla salad, fajita bowl, deep fried tacos, and any margarita! Highly recommend!! read more

We love this place. We try other Mexican restaurants but always come back to Vaqueros; great food, reasonably priced, friendly servers, cold beer and a comfortable setting. read more

Service was okay, however, the food (I got deep fried tacos) didn't taste quite right. Even when I put salsa on it, it just wasn't tasting right. Ambiance was great though! Same with the salsa, however, not sure i'll be coming back. read more

Late May 2026. Ok. This was my second time eating there. My first was right after they took over from Mi Ranchitos. That time was mediocre. This time was worse and unfortunately I brought company. We got seated and ordered drinks. Then we ordered breaded shrimp and a fajita plate. Some time went by and people that were seated 10min after us nearby got their food before us. Our large drinks were practically empty. Right as we were about to get up and leave the food "started to arrive". Our shrimp and rice were cold. Our fajitas sides came out yet the meat/peppers still on the way. Fajitas are one of the FASTEST things that a Mexican restaurant can deliver... sometimes as fast as 10 minutes. Anyway... the cold seafood was a deal breaker. We got out of our seats, I laid down just enough cash to maybe cover the drinks, and we were out the door. This is only the third time we have had to walk out of a restaurant before our meal was delivered completely. That should tell you something. Besides all that... the lighting in there sucks. The lights are hospital bright daylight and not good for a dining experience. And to the owner of the restaurant reading this... before you post a reply to this... maybe check out other places and take notes. Not the 10 other places on North Oak though. Go to Ponaks, Los Corrals, Manny's, Dos Reales, and maybe LaCosta Mexicana. They are good inspiration for dining atmosphere. The length of our review is the measure of how mad we were to march out of your restaurant hungry. And yes... so mad that I going to C&P this. read more

Came in on a Saturday night and I got right in. We were greeted with chips and queso. Everything was excellent and fast. Definitely a new favorite spot. read more

New menus! Holy sticker shock looks like same assortment I think Just a big kick in price Mi Ranchito has been our local go to for years, food seems same as it's been still really good at least the chips and salsa are still free too We've been to a couple places where they charge for that read more

We eat here often. Our favorite Mexican restaurant. Great food. Great service. Complimentary queso dip is such a treat.

We love Mi Ranchito!!! They have the best house margarita in town. Thin crispy restaurant style chips, yummy vegetable, packed salsa, Mexican, music, playing overhead, festive decor, delicious food and a friendly staff. You can't beat me Ranchitos prices and delicious portions. We love Mi Ranchito. It is a family staple. read more

Food starting to take a turn for the worst. The employees were rude and/or disinterested. Never a smile or welcome. Other than the guy in the back singing at the top of his lungs, it's pretty much the same. read more

Mi Ranchito now is called Vaqueros. I'm not sure what has occurred, but it is not for the better. Our service has always been good until now. I'm sure I sound like a crabby old person but first they sat us near a door that the staff uses to go outside and it was sleeting so we got a freezing blast every time the door openers. We asked to move and our waitress was very understanding and moved us. We ordered an appetizer and the chips that came were burned, which has never happened before. We didn't say anything but when other chips came, they were fine. We had a hard time getting the waitress's attention and the restaurant was not busy at all. I ordered the margarita flight, which I thought would be small glasses of each kind, but instead received a tower of margaritas. It was way too much for me to drink and I wished I had not ordered it. The food was okay- we ordered items we usually do, but the quality was somewhat diminished from the usual. read more

I might be just a white boy, but this was some of the best food I've had since I left south Texas. I don't know what's special about it, but it hit cravings I didn't know I had. Well done. We will be back. Oh, and the horchata is fabulous. read more

Got the special fajitas. More onions than anything. Michela....very poor. save your money

The food was incredible, they have the best burritos in KC!!! thats all i gotta say read more

New name, Vaqueros, same great food and great service, only the name has changed. Armando still making great drinks. I'm only writing more because Yelp is making me. read more

Food was really good. I had cream cheese chicken enchiladas. The server was really nice as well and was very attentive. The queso is good too. read more

This place rocks. Good home style Mexican food from all over the country. Lots of American Mexican choices too. Always a great staff and high quality food. Don't miss their margaritas. read more

And now I'm getting text messages. Great. I'll keep updating with each new annoyance. What's next?

Poor service! Have had better Fajitas and chilichongas at other places. Waited on server, waited on food, waited on check, and waited on change. Will not come back. read more

We have patronized Mi Ranchito ever since they opened, and we will continue to do so. The food is good, and the prices fair. Up until tonight's dinner service has been good. However, tonight, not so much. Once our food had arrived, we didn't see a server until we needed our check (we had to ask for that) We have had family members work in the restaurant industry and have always tipped 20% or better. Not tonight. read more

We've been dining at Mi Ranchito for nearly 20 years. Started in Lenexa at the 95th & Pflumn location for dinner near home & Olathe on 119th for lunch near the office, and switched to North Oak when we moved to the Northland. The staff is always super nice and we've never had bad service that I can remember in that time. The food always comes out piping hot. I used to order the Jalisco Chimichanga all the time, but my new favorite is the La Crema Chimichanga. I think they slip a little crack into the La Crema sauce, because I find myself craving it all the time. That stuff is the BOMB! read more

My wife and I would come here about once a week because it's only 5 minutes from our house. They recently updated the style of their menu which included price increases. However the quality of the food did not increase with that. We enjoyed this place because it was close and decently priced, however paying $11 for a bean burrito (which is literally just refried beans and a tortilla) is kinda wild. Paying $50 (before a tip) is pretty typically for a party of two nowadays, but not for a bean burrito, one margarita and an enchilada plate lol. Don't get me wrong, the food is still good, typical Mexican cuisine, just not near the price they have increased it to. read more

We went Friday, October 4th to find it was the first day of new management and menu. And it had changed a lot. Lunch menu was 6 items only and the one we tried was bland and mostly a plate of tasteless rice. Regular dinner menu was very "upscale" with prices increased about 20%. My regular quesadilla that used to be about $8 was $16 but that was the most change upward we found. Chips used to be thin and hot and housemade but these seemed to be taken out of a bag. Used to go several times a month but will be looking for a new favorite Mexican restaurant read more

Don't judge a book by the cover!!! This place looks terrible from the outside, but it's delicious. Oh my. A very typical Texas style Mexican restaurant with bright, vibrant, colors and fake parrots hanging all over the place. Service was good and fast, I'm pretty sure our waiter refilled our chips 6 times. Addictingggggg. We started with some margs- one of the best peach marg I've ever had- then we had the cheese dip with peppers and spinach in it. It was a little too spicy for me but I sucked it up because it was too good not to. Paired with the salsa and chips- perfect. We ordered fajitas-with cheese dip included! And I ordered the chicken cream cheese enchiladas. Not only was it the best sauce, it was the best grilled chicken I've ever had. I had leftovers for 2 days read more

This is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in town! The chimichangas are SO GOOD and I love the salsa. The chips are light and delicate with just the right amount of crunch! Great place to visit for your birthday as they give you a sombrero! The margaritas are also delightful! The staff is so great that even on cinco de mayo we waited no more than 15-20 minutes for our table! This is a must visit in the city! read more

food is good if you eat it there or order it yourself for takeout. but NEVER order through DoorDash - it will always be wrong! They always screw something up and they have blocked the ability to make a special request. I will never order from them through DoorDash again. read more

Went in for quick dinner but the wait time was almost 30-40 mins firstly when they mentioned 15. Ordered their "chicken fajita quesadillas" which was real dry and we had to overload it with salsa and sour cream. For main course we ordered the " Fajita Con Queso Enchiladas" with the rich queso making it really appetizing & "Jalisco Chimichanga" which was crispy and flavorful. Portions are big and reasonable pricing. The only downside being the place could be a little bit neater. read more

I love their espinaca. I just wanted to drink that cheese sauce. I had the Jalisco Chimi. It has this wonderful jalapeño cream cheese that made me lick the plate. Just give me some more. Only one issue, my wifey ordered steak tacos and got chicken. She loved it. Now we have to go back and try the steak. read more

Ordered at the bar. We got a cream chicken enchilada meal to go and it came with no sauce on the enchiladas, so it was dry and nasty. Also asked for corn masa received none. Called up there to tell them and got hung up on. Service is horrible at this location. read more

We just tried to visit Mi Ranchito for the first time and unfortunately didn't even get to try the drinks or food because no one ever greeted our table. Before we were sat, we were put on a 10 minute wait, then asked if we minded a table (which we didn't), and were sat at a table in a less busy section than the rest of the restaurant. After over 10 minutes and watching three tables who were sat after us all get drinks, receive appetizers, and place their orders, we called it. Such a bummer since it smelled delicious. read more

Not sure what I did or who I pissed off. My best guess is they thought I was someone else. I did a pick up order. I went here semi regularly but I don't think often enough to be recognized. My best guess is that they thought I was someone else. I always over tip. I pick up the food but tip as if I was eating there. They blatantly ignored me for over 45 minutes at the bar. Would have left but I have a pregnant wife with a craving for this place. They helped people around me and would walk off when I would say "excuse me" to get their attention. I noticed them answering the phone and was still confused and trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. So I called... from the bar... 8 times. They never answered. It wasn't too busy and was a week night. The bartender had full conversations with people but didn't seem to hear or see me. A regular at the bar started to get confused and try to flag someone down for me. Eventually they must have wanted me to leave because a random busser brought the food and was really short with me. Might have been closer to an hour and a half in total. I used to work in the service industry. I go above and beyond to be polite, considerate, kind, and patient. I'm really confused and have never been this insulted for no reason at all. Great job, I changed my five star review and will always be fast to talk down on this business to people. read more

Have been coming to this location for years. The food doesn't taste as well as it used to and is a tad dry. The salsa used to be tasty but now tastes like watered down off brand tomato sauce. read more

I've always liked their food but the last few times I've ordered the cheese enchiladas they haven't tasted good. The cheese they use now is like Parmesan. I could not eat it. Will not be eating there anymore. read more

They have great food and staff. They also have great prices for lunch and daily $2 Crispy Tacos and 2 for $7 house Margaritas. Wide variety of offerings. No complaints. It's also has the fun Mexican decor to enjoy our visit and meal with friends! We stop in at least once each visit to the area. read more

I've had this place twice now, once a few years ago inside and tonight delivered and both times were terrible bland unseasoned steamed fajita veggies and extremely dry chicken. Fajitas should always be seasoned and cooked on cast iron to caramelize onions. read more

I cant believe Im even giving this restaurant a 1 star, it should be 0 star ( feel like being nice) haha We ate there on Tuesday evening around 4pm Buser i guess came over to give us chips, no one else came over to great us or to say we will be right with you. Until I had to flag one of the girls that I knew if we could get some service, a guy came over to let us know that our server was not there and she was on the way in, and she would take care of us when she got here( why couldn't he couldn't just started us with adult Beverage & order it and transfer it when she got there. She must've been running late. She came over the table to bring us a margarita after us, waiting now a total of almost 15 minutes. She proceeded to take her order with the smile on her face. I ordered my food and I cannot eat onions, and I asked her if I took the onions off and I could sub bell peppers, she turned around and walked away, never said yes we will be more than happy to do this for you. My food arrived the way I ordered it. She placed it on the table and walked away immediately never asked if everything looked good or she could get us anything else she didn't even ask my husband if he wanted another margarita we never saw the server the rest the time we were there. We had to ask another server for our ticket. She came running never gave it to us, rang It never said thank you and by the way, she never even offered us any appetizers or any dessert? She got a big fat zero from me on tip, I will not be returning to this restaurant The worst service ever. Never crack a smile. Maybe she was having a bad day who knows. I say when you come to work, leave your issues outside of the restaurant you got to treat your customers good & make them feel welcome there. We did not feel welcome at that restaurant. read more
