Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant

My family has ordered takeout several times, both lunch and dinner. We have eaten various items from their combination plates, al la carte menu as well as burgers. They have consistently good pueblo style mexican food and burgers. My only complaint is the service for takeout is hit and miss. Sometimes they have an attentive server and other times it takes a few minutes to get someone who has time to grab the to-go bags from the pass. I have never dined in but the restaurant it's self is cute and clean with plenty of parking even when they are busy.

We came to Pueblo Colorado to get our annual green chili supply for the year, and wanted to try out Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant, mainly because of their buffet. We arrived around noon on a Sunday afternoon.... So we definitely hit the after church Sunday lunch crowd. They were busy, but still had ample seating; a nice mixture of booth seating and bench seating. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get a table for ten. They were able to accommodate wheelchairs, which was great because we had two in our party. Service was good; our server was still pretty attentive with us even with the majority of us getting the buffet. We were greeted with a warm basket of tortilla chips and tasty salsa. I was ecstatic to discover that they offered menudo and pesole on the buffet line, so that's what I went for! Both were delicious; some of the best menudo I've ever eaten. They provided all the toppings too; fresh cilantro, diced onions, lemons, oregano. They also had a hearty pork green chili stew with potatoes; that was delicious. Everything was seasoned well. The buffet didn't have many items; but still worth it even if you just got the menudo!! Others food items: cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, scrambled eggs and sausage with potatoes, green chili, rice pudding and pineapple jello. I wish they offered tacos or tostadas on the buffet line. They don't replenish the eggs after 12pm. The buffet is open until 5pm. We ordered a pitcher of horchata for $11.95. The buffet was $15.95 for persons over 10; and half price for kids 10 and under. Ambiance was nice; they turned the tables fairly quickly and had a steady stream of customers. Menu prices ranged from $10-$20. They automatically add 15% gratuity for parties over 10. Our bill for 10 people came to $215. It was worth the stop in to Mi Ranchito Mexican Restaurant off of highway 50. Check them out for authentic Mexican cuisine!

We were passing through on our way home to AZ and craving Mexican food. Our hotel recommended this place and we went late afternoon. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, but completely full by the time we left. Best green chili I have ever had, and I have eaten a LOT of green chili! The half and half was the perfect heat level for me. Chips and salsa were legit and I highly recommend the Cadillac margarita!

Great little restaurant, cozy interior. Excellent green chili & ground beef stuffed sopapilla! Friendly servers!

Yummy food! Love the staff, and the vibe is amazing here, full of amazing people and food spirit.

Good food, great service!We love taco Tuesday's.Getting a beer, tacos and tostadas for two, relax and visit with all your neighbors that walk-in for the night.The buffet for lunch I usually pretty good and changes everyday

I like Mi Ranchito the buffet has a good variety and is very tasty. The Menudo and posole have a nice spicy flavor. The price I feel is good. This is one of my favorite places to have Mexican food.

Poor customer service from manager Antonio. My family and I witnessed him yelling at his staff member for sitting us down at an empty table after we had waited for 25 minutes. After calling the restaurant and speaking to Antonio he claimed that he had a table waiting for us after he spoke (rudely) to his staff member. He is a liar as he did not say to us (in the restaurant) that he had a table. I strongly advise that people stay away from thia place.I have been a loyal customer for years and this event along with other events have changed my loyalty to this place.

The food was dog water bad foog I ordered the bingy banga the chicken one it was aight. The service was not the best took a while. Ambiance was aight not much to complain. Don't recommend go to red robin or something.

So- I normally don't complain in a public forum- BUT- here goes.So we waited for about. 1/2 hour for a table- made friends with local patrons, truly enjoying our time together.That being said-We were 'needy' for lack of a better but for nothing more than our server to be reminded that she was forgetting EVERYTHING we asked. I worked for many years in the service industry- granted I was not always the best but always trying. I saw that in our waitress, think.We got the bill- granted we had an app 2 margs and had two more shots to them cuz they tasted horrible.No liquor in them just some kind of green simple syrup. Thank goodness my water also had lemon cuz I added two limes two lemons and two more 'shots' of tequila. Not something I would normally do. We still said nothing about the 1/2 oz pours of them, until the bill arrived at that point it was still between the two of us.At another $5 each. WTF? It was well and not even a full oz.The whole time we assured our server that even though we asked a lot- we would make it ok. I was going to pay tip- and my friend the bill- SHE was pissed- about to go off- I asked her toPlease let me handle it-as to not make a scene- well asked her what was the measurement if we are paying another $20 for 4, 1/2 pour shots.She replied- we measure- I can even show you. ( she still wasn't very good- but I'm sure today just wasn't her day for some reason or another)I said you don't have to show us- that moment my friend stated- even if you measure with a jigger it still should be AT LEAST 1oz.Hold on- I went from 0 to 100in 1.5 seconds. Another server (curly dark hair) counting tickets or something- and has zero to do being involved in our conversation- looks up with a smile and says - verbatim- 'it a business' I don't even describe what she sounded like to me- cuz I lost it. I say- 'what did you just say?'She repeated it.I said 'I know it is, BUT this wasn't right'I can't remember if she said anything more- and I simply said it was so unprofessional of her to say that- especially when someone is questioning- and being decent-a very high bill- it made 2 disgusting margs $36.What in the actual... you know the rest- She just continued smiling- I told her how rude I thought she was- in the front, in front of many people. Last thing I wanted was to make a scene.Yet there it was in all of its glory.She said something more- that's when I did something so out of character- I said I can't believe how rude you are- you know what ( to my friend) let's go and DONT BOTHER TIPPING!!!It's not me EVER. To not tip- or to cause a scene. I grabbed my kiddo and walked out- stating I will never ever be back.Well my friend stayed after I left- paid the bill, asked the server to show her what they used to measure the spirits.Get this!!!!The ding ding had it upside down- the jigger was UPSIDE down. They never offered, and should have only been charged for two not four.Needless to say- all they had to doWas talk about it- we could have resolved it- resulting in the tip intended. Instead- HER BUSINESS- cost her business- and a bad review- a call to owner or manager tomorrow,and I will continue to tell anyone that ever compares this one to our south side Mi Ranchito- we LOVE them. Always kind servers, efficient, friendly, great food- full drink measurements, and yummy margs.Yes she still received a tip but not the one we wanted to share- Because my friend had better sense than allowed myself in that moment- I bought her a bushel of Chiles at Mussos to repay her for our lunch, only seemed fair-Oh yes, they also don't have the crispy rellenos like the south side. Can't wait for the original next time, when she comes back from DENVER to visit.Golf clap #2!
