Finally, for some reason, the decor that used to be a strongsuit of the restaurant is nothing but bland now, and the ambiance that what once used to be very wonderful now is just another brick in the wall of what used to be the exception, not the status quo.

We have tried Rancherita and another( forgot the name, will update). Rancherita is too modern for us. It's expensive and not enough seats. The food was mediocre. Mi Cabaña was really good. The portions were good size and did not disappoint. As Mexicans, we're always looking for some good salsa and aguas. If the salsa is hot and you don't have to ask for it, then you're at the right place. My husband ordered bistec a la Mexicans plate and I ordered Jalisco Especial.

The locations parking is a little tricky to find a spot and to get in and out of when busy. The restaurant was okay, nothing really special. It was large, well lit, and clean.

We had a issue where the menu listed one thing and when we told him it was correct - he was going to explain to us how it was based on what he read on the print out in the back...Sir, doesn't matter what it says in the back when your menu clearly says something different that the customer taking to be truth. This means there's a disconnect somewhere in your system that needs correction - that's all. The pricing is fine for what you get. The portions are large. We would go back but again only as delivery.

They also aren't afraid to add a little heat, but as somebody who doesn't like their food too spicy nothing here was overdone. I'm really glad we decided to stop during a road trip up 95. Now, the place is loud, so if that's not your jam maybe try take out because the food is top notch. We didn't like our drinks, as we opted to be a little adventurous here. I ordered a mezcal drink with orange and pineapple, she ordered an orange version of the house marg. We both decided maybe we should just try the standard marg next time. Also for what it's worth, our server spoke very little English. Overall, I rate restaurants on if we'd come back or not. Well let me tell you, I live 6 hours away and on the way out we were wondering if it would be worth the drive for dinner. The answer is absolutely yes.
