Reviews for La Rancherita in Middletown, NY
First time there. Instantly my favorite Mexican restaurant. Ingredients are fresh, hot sauces are great (habanero). They have... cactus! Only (small) ding is that parking lot is a bit small. My final score is 4.9 Read more
Always a pleasure to eat here. Literally anything you order is great. My daughter ordered a burrito and that thing was... MASSIVE!!! Come here, eat here. Read more
My meal was excellent. I had the grilled chicken burrito and it was great. The waitress was very attentive.
This is, without doubt, the worst Mexican food I have eaten. I stopped here during a trip along the nearby interstate and was... drawn in by the authentic look inside, the artisan-built chairs, the Mexican ballads playing, the 4-plus stars on these reviews,but regretted that decision as soon as the salsa and chips arrived at the table. This is a Mexican restaurant that could noteven get the salsa and nachos right: it was just a soupy mix of watery onions that did not taste well. The burrito I got did notlook good with all that melted cheese on top and was stuffed with badly seasoned meat and rice and onions that seemed badly andunevenly reheated (as if in a microwave). The other person with me ordered the chile relleno: What a spectacular fiasco! Insteadof the stuffed pepper, it looked like a crushed pepper with seeds inside and cheese thrown on top; the beans were watery and therice was a mush of reheated food -- the whole thing really looked like vomit on a plate. We both stopped eating after a fewbites and drank our jarritos worried about the stomach ache that could come next. Do yourself a favor and don't eat at thisplace. It was authentically bad. Read more
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I was looking forward to trying this place based off the reviews? unfortunately I... have no positive things to say about the food. It should have been a red flag to us when there was no one else at thisrestaurant at 630pm on a Saturday. To start off there is no margaritas at this place. The guacamole was very watered down andlacked flavor, we couldn?t even finish it. The rice was very dry and bland. We didn?t finish any of our food. We immediatelyfelt sick after eating due to the low quality of this food. I?m not sure how other viewers have such high remarks. There was noauthenticity to this food. I wouldn?t recommend this place to anyone. Read more
I?ve already had two meals from here and there?s been no dissatisfaction. The mole enchiladas were my favorite as the sauce was... a balance of savory and spicy. The nachos are wonderful and plentiful to share. I?m a big fan of the beens as well, they are notthe typical retried style. I?ll definitely go back for more. Read more
It's easy to miss this place, glad I finally noticed it. If authentic Mexican is what you are looking for this is your place. ... Friendly service, reasonable prices. The have an extensive taco menu which includes tripas, these are hard to find. They weredelicious. They also feature fresh aguas, the flavors can vary but they usually have Horchata and Jamaica.
