Reviews for Mi Ranchito Restaurant & Cantina in La Verne, CA

Food was delicious! Service was friendly and prompt. We loved the quaintness.

Food and drinks were all way overpriced and overrated. Service was awful. Empty restaurant, but when we requested a larger... table since we were gathering for a meeting which would require spreadsheets to be laid out, we were told no. Only option wasthe one table they offered which was a small booth or we had to sit in the bar. Read more

Used to like this place for an inexpensive and okay, average food. Wow, did it get expensive, the food quality is not as good,... very salty and didn't feel fresh at all. Shame really, but won't be back. A lot of other places with better prices and qualityof food. Read more

Very helpful and attentive staff. Excellent food and we got there in time for $6 happy hour margaritas! When the chips and salsa... are good, you know the food will be outstanding! Guacamole was great too. Read more

Best salsa in the area, friendly service and just delicious. There's also a great used bookstore a couple of shops down for... strolling after your meal. Read more

We have been loyal customers for about 15 years. We love the food, but the prices are OUTRAGEOUS. $9 for a bean and cheese... burrito?! Give me a break. Also, the staff changes so often that almost every time we go in we feel like a stranger. Clearly theowner does not understand the importance of maintaining loyal customers in a small town. We will, sadly, be looking for anotherMexican restaurant soon. There are plenty around with much more reasonable prices. Ridiculous. Read more

So this place actually has pretty decent food and drinks. Their salsa is actually one of the best salsas in town! The reason for... my two star rating has nothing to do with the quality of the food it's more that EVERY single time I order food to go (which isalways, never sat down here to eat) they ALWAYS get my order wrong. The first time it happened - I thought eh it's okay ithappens, but nope this is a recurring issue at this restaurant. Today I went in and ordered my food and waited. My mother in lawand I ordered three combo plates and I got a margarita to go. I waited patiently for about 20 minutes and then the nice hostessbrought out my food all wrapped up in a bag and I left and went home. I get home and open the food and all three combo plateswere not what I ordered. I called the restaurant and they replaced all my meals free of charge with my correct order. However,when I went back to pick up the food I could tell that the cook was irritated as the paper lids on the containers we're allsmashed down and my food was totally smashed flat and was just slopped into the containers. This was def not my fault as I paid$75 for the food and for that much money I do expect them to get the order right. The owner of this place needs to get on top oftheir kitchen and needs to tell their cooks to mark/write on the container lids with the contents inside so they can stopcontinuously switching up orders if they insist on cooks bagging up the to-go orders. If it continues I will stop going here andfind another good local spot for Mexican food. Read more

Happy hour advertised in the restaurant. We were told it was only in the bar. Ad didn't say that. The drinks were good. Server... was sweet. The food was expensive and unremarkable. For that price I would expect flavor in the beans, if that makes sense. Read more
