This is a authentic Mexican Restaurant that is open late. Maria was our wonderful waitress/ bartender on 11/30/21 at closing really the last table... Her service was a blessing. After a fun night of Roller Skating, we both enjoyed her very tasty Margaritas. The table side guacamole/ yellow queso were fresh. The fajitas steak Nachos were my husbands Must Order Again Entrée!!! A great friend said" You always can judge a great Mexican restaurant by 2 things. 1.Did you receive a water with a amazing homemade salsa? Yes!!!!!! 2.Were the enchiladas the best your every tasted? Yes, I loved the Fajita Steak enchilada with juice rice and refried beans. The presentation of the steak on top, Wow! Definitely will go back to visit in the near future. read more

Disgusting. We only ate here bc it was the only thing open after a late evening flight into DFW. I ended up throwing my food away. The avocado was brown, the chicken was dry and the tortillas were stale. Just nasty. I hate leaving bad reviews but just wanted to warn others! read more

YUM!!! Soooo good! Definitely comfort Mexican food! Great service too. We used to come all the time years ago, got a craving for them since we've moved out of Arlington and it did not disappoint on our visit! Salsa is so good, Queso is yum and all our meals were great! Husband had the tilapia dish and said it was just as he remembered. I get the botanas appetizer platter as my meal and the kids get enchiladas. We all enjoyed our yummy meal and our server was on it, she was kind and continually kept our drinks filled and checked on us. Prices are good too! Will be back again and again and more often too! read more

For me a wow. Great place. Crispy beef tacos are a 10 and I know my tacos. Perfectly seasoned meet. Same for cheese enchiladas. Chip and salsa great. Another fav of mine are corn tortillas. These r THICK just how they should be. I wrap my tacos in them and have some with just butter. Service and ambiance great as well. Second time here. read more

Co worker regularly goes here so I came along, I thought it looked nice when I went in. Waitresses were nice and they brought out chips and salsa. The menu was just massive and they had a burger which I was actually in mood for, it came out really fast and was a good size. It actually tasted good and I was filled up by the pretty good fries. Check was a little much but this is a nice spot for lunch, I'd definitely come back. read more

Great food! Courteous staff. Clean and pleasant atmosphere. The price was right. Chicken Sado was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. read more

I love their Sapo Chicken dish, I highly recommend it. My hubby likes it too & their tostada. I also like their salsa, just spicy enough! ;) It's not easy for us to get here, living in Mansfield but sometimes we crave it!. read more

This Mexican restaurant is good authentic Mexican food. They have all the usual Tex Mex foods. I had the fajitas and they were very good. Good chip and salsa. I feel Las Ranitas is good food for the money. Not bad and you will not go away hungry. Located in a small strip mall. Not very busy so we did not have a wait. And we had a large group on Saturday. The place is very casual nice and clean. Styled more like a diner. The service was very good and fast not a long wait. Great place to relax and have a good meal and talk. read more

Do not expect fast service. You cannot be in a hurry. yes It is in a strip mall. However, the food is really top notch quality food. Their salsa is a little on the stronger end of spicy. Two people in our party of 8 didn't eat it due to spicy factor but for me it was just right. I have been here twice now and both times the food was great. The first time I shared appetizers and the pastorcitos and quesadillas were excellent. The green sauce that comes with the pastorcitos is potent but good. The second time I went with a house specialty.. The Chicken Sado. That stuff was really,really good. It may be hard for me to try something new because I liked that Chicken Sado so much. Will I go again? Yes. most certainly yes. read more

Great chips and salsa to start and wveryt I've had here has been delicious. The Don Polito is my favorite.

The Restaurant was nice and clean, but the food was mediocre. Salsa had a fishy taste, the chips were ok. I ordered the Chavas plate which was a crunchy beef taco and a cheese enchilada, rice and beans. It wasn't the best food Ive had, but it was wasn't the worst either. The Service was horrible! we had a lady take our order, then she sits right next to us in a booth and takes her lunch break. No one ever came to check on us until we were almost finished eating. We needed drink refills, and they never came by yet our server was sitting right next to us. The staff kept going to her table and refilling her drinks and would all sit in her booth and talk to her while she ate. We were the only caucasians in the restaurant, every time a new customer came in that was hispanic they were immediatly taken care of and we were ignored. We waited 15 minutes to get our check and no one ever came back, I finally had to go to the register and pay without a check. I only tipped $1, because the service was horrible. Will not be returning. read more

The food here is always amazing. They always give great service and I have not ordered anything I didn't like. The food is priced pretty good. Not super cheap but not a wallet breaker. This is a great change up from all the texmex restaurants in the DFW area. This reminds me of a mom and pop Mexican joint with very good food! Hope you have the chance to stop by and give it a try. Don't be fooled by the run down center it is in. The inside is very nice. Check the Happy Hour times, good prices on Margaritas. Usually Mon- Fri 2pm - 7pm (not really sure, they just changed it) read more

We totally enjoyed our visit to this restaurant. Every item we ordered was delicious and flavorful. We went here because it was recommended by a friend and could not be more happy. The staff was attentive and quick. We will be going back. read more

We were looking for authentic and that is 100% what we got! Great service, amazing food, and fair pricing. We're not from here and only visiting, we were recommended to Las Ranitas by a local. Fresh tortillas, chips, and salsa. I also learned what Tajin was tonight! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

This place can be great... really great, or horrible depending on what your idea of good mexican food is. I have eaten here off and on for 4-5 years now and seen this place go through some changes. It is usually somewhat less than sparkling clean, the salsa is bland, the chips are stale and the service at times is so slow it ain't even funny. That being said the entrees (when you finally get it) are usually pretty good. At times the food is piping hot and tastes like it was cooked today. Other times it tastes like it has been a warm up from yesterday. The rice and beans here have been served cold or lukewarm (room temp) at best on every visit we have made here. The little fried tacos (Pastorcitos) are usually excellent, the soups are also very good in my experience. This isn't exactly a Tex Mex place, and you can get some food that won't make you sick at late hours. Other than the above, it's dreadfully average, and in my opinion dingy and a little grimy. The upside is, the prices are incredibly cheap and if you speak enough Spanglish to actually get your order understood, you stand a great chance of getting some mediocre food... eventually. If they would clean the place up, put 10% more effort into the service , this place could be great. read more

This restaurant was very well put together in my opinion but their menu options were a bit similar to each other. I ordered the tacos and the meat was disappointingly dry. I'm not sure if it was just that time but I wasn't a fan. Overall this restaurant is really good and i believe way underrated compared to the other restaurants i've been to. (: read more

I have been eating here for years and have yet to have a bad meal,the prices are also very reasonable.

This is a nice solid lunch option if you find yourself in this part of the DFW. Their chips and salsa are always fresh but be carful with the salsa because it is a little spicy. I usually have their tacos, or fajita plate. The fish soup is also very good, and the price is right. The inside is nice and clean and decorated with some tacky frog pictures and statues. I have never had a problem with service here. read more

Excellent service. I had a cheerful/helpful waitress who helped me with the menu. I didn't know what pozole was and she brought me a sample to try. After I ordered, two other waitresses checked on me during my meal. Reasonable prices and portion sizes are generous. I will go back. read more

We were literally the only ones there and still the waiter didn't check on us a single time. We got no refills and our food took forever to be ready. The food was good but won't recommend because of customer service. read more

10/25/2016 Tuesday 410pm today was my 2nd time here. Abrams has been closed for reconstruction for quite a while Abrams is now open and I wanted to come again. This time I ordered the "chicken fajita Quesadilla lunch." It included rice, beans, sour cream and also 3 sauces regular red, hot(temperature) red and a green. Which I liked the best. Maria was a great waitress too. I will be back Dale read more

I love this place when i'm craving fajitas. they have the best fajitas out off all restaurants! the chips and salsa are good too, also their bistek ranchero is delicious, that used to be my favorite plate from here, ive been coming here for about 10 years now. the prices have gone up, I think the last time i was here which was last week the bistek plate had gone up to like $15 too high for me. other than that i would recommend this place. read more

This place is one of my favorites. The salsa is made fresh and the best you'll find. The food is very good and portions are ample. The menu states that they will translate the menu for free, which is humorous. The menu is in both languages. read more

Every experience I have here is excellent. Their fajitas are amazing! I love their salsa. The service is average.

My favorite mexican food in Arlington. It is cheap and fast but delicious. The staff speaks little english but they try really hard to understand. i love how it is open really late. When I worked at a nearby restaurant, we used to go here when we would get off of work because it would still be open. read more

My family has been coming here once a week since 2003. Now we all bring our children and I know my children will bring, their children. It is the best!! Ask for the warm salsa it is fantastic. We love every waitress. They have become like family. This is my all time favorite place to eat hasn't disappointed since 2003. That's impressive. read more

If u get hungry skip this dump and buy a bag of Doritos. Not only is this restaurant in a ghetto strip mall, but the food lacks flavor, ergo bag of Doritos. I ordered a taco salad and this restaurant does not have a clue. I got the taco salad to go. It was served as a deconstructed taco salad. The taco shell was a poor excuse for a fried flour tortilla. I like corn taco shells. They give a flavorless medicine cup size of bland salsa and another medicine cup of oily Italian dressing? read more

Didn't disappoint us the second visit! Definitely worth the trip to Arlington and will stop in whenever we come by.

waited 30 minutes for our food... food was old and dry... how can you mess up on a chicken piece dinner? terrible staff... food is garbage... and its over priced will not be going back read more

This is one of my favorite Tex-mex restaurants in Arlington, Tx. I have lived in Arlington for 16 years and I keep going back to this small modest eatery. Their pollo policarpio is a must. Their chips and salsa are the best! Great costumer service as well.. read more

My husband likes it but they are a little overpriced and yesterday, their shrimp cocktail gave me food poisoning so I wouldn't trust them for quality seafood. read more
