    We decided to do a Mexican theme for Christmas, so we ordered a pan of ground beef and a pan of shredded chicken to feed up to 30 people. I opened the pan and it's half full. I am so pissed and want to cry. This won't feed everyone. I guess my husband and I won't eat. I have to limit my guests on the food portions now. I'm so upset. We paid way too much money for this.

    We stopped in for lunch today and we really enjoyed the main portion of our meals. The server was friendly and attentive. The noise level was good with a casual atmosphere. The chips were okay and the salsa was pretty good, a tad spicy. My fried beef tacos were excellent! The Spanish rice was a bit greasy and the refried beans over dry. My husband said his enchiladas and fried taco was very good but felt the same about the rice and beans. The main restaurant was clean as well.

    Definitely a white persons Mexican restaurant. Salsa reminded me of marinara sauce with consistency and flavor. Ordered 3 Ala carte authentic tacos and was greeted by 3 glistening with oil corn tortillas topped with meat that reminded me of meals I'd had on a ship when I was deployed. Our waitresses was excellent and attentive and the atmosphere was decent.

    Chip & Salsa To-Go

    We stopped in here on a busy, rainy Saturday night and the staff killed it. They were relatively busy with only 3 servers. It was our waitress first night and she did awesome. The margaritas are awesome. I always get one when I go. The chips and salsa are also great. The chips are big and go great with margarita dip. I almost always get taco here. They're sorta double fried so they have a unique texture. I usually opt for beef, either ground or shredded. One of our dining companions got the chicken fajitas. She wasn't thrilled with the amount of rice and the amount of chicken. But I was happy with my tacos so ‍

    Arrived here for a Sunday evening dinner. I did not know there was a location in Lenexa. They do have outdoor seating. Inside the restaurant, it seems outdated. Food and service was okay. Overall, not too impressed and noting fun or exciting about the place.

    I have spent 17 years living in Texas and Oklahoma and I've had the privilege of eating at some outstanding Mexican restaurants. Well, most of the Mexican restaurants in Oklahoma and Texas are really Tex-Mex (which I prefer over hard-core Mexican food), but I digress. My point is that I absolutely love Mexican food, but my experiences have made me a bit of a Mexican food snob. Because of this, there are very, very few Mexican restaurants in Kansas City that I enjoy visiting. Margarita's is one of these. If you aren't familiar with them, Margarita's has been a local chain since 1985 with a handful of restaurants scattered around the KC area. You can find a couple varieties of their salsa in most local grocery stores. Your meal begins with complimentary chips and salsa. I've generally been very impressed that my chip basket is almost always overflowing with whole chips, not stuffed with broken pieces and a fist full of crumbs lining the bottom. The salsa is tasty and very "tomato-ey", but also very mild. They offer medium and hot versions in the grocery store but I keep forgetting to ask if they serve these in the restaurant too - I'll try to remember on my next visit and update this review. Most of the menu is old-school Mexican, just the way I like it. Tacos and burritos, chile rellenos, enchiladas, and tamales, etc. They don't waste menu space on a bunch of fru-fru new-wave Mexican options that I have no interest in. The crispy taco shells are fresh fried, not pulled from a box, and then stuffed with meat. The enchiladas are served with your choice of fillings with cheese on top, but not too much cheese. (Real Tex-Mex rarely includes cheese - unless you're eating a cheese enchilada, chile relleno, or sometimes when building a fajita.) I enjoyed the chile relleno, it's possibly the best in the area. It's a little unusual - it's available with your choice of meat, but they don't stuff it inside the chile along with the cheese. They lay the relleno, stuffed with cheese and then deep fried, on top of a bed of your choice of meat. It's different from what I'm accustomed to, but it's also very good. The Margarita dip is a favorite. It's a white cheese queso with spinach - a standard with most Kansas City area Mexican restaurants that you won't find in other cities. (They also offer typical yellow cheese queso.) The Margarita dip usually has a touch more spinach in it than what I prefer, but I still enjoy it. The fajitas are a cross between the stir fry style that most local Mexican restaurants serve, and the (in my humble option) far superior and better tasting long strips of meat grilled separately that you'll find in the restaurants a few hundred miles South of us. Margarita's fajita meat is shaped in "squarish chunks" and better than most of the local competition. (Check out Chuy's if you'd like to know what a typical Tex-Mex fajita should look and taste like.) One more thing - if you're an old fart like me, you'll also appreciate the classic rock Muzak that plays in the background. I usually prefer Mexican music or a Mariachi band, etc. in a Mexican restaurant, but in my opinion, you can never go wrong with classic rock. I generally travel to Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico a couple times each year to visit family and to quench my Tex-Mex craving. Between visits, Margarita's suits me just fine.

    Baja Entree, 2 Cheese Enchiladas and a Pork (Chile Colorado) Taco
    Krista R.

    Tried out Margaritas this past weekend. I ordered the #5 Baja Entree with cheese enchiladas and a Chile Colorado Taco. The beans and rice were very flavorful. The pork taco was delicious; it's not an item I would typically order, but I would definitely order it again. The enchiladas weren't my favorite, the cheese to tortilla ratio was a bit off and the sauce wasn't enough to cut through all the gooey cheese. My husband ordered the Margarita Special and thoroughly enjoyed it. We both thought the queso was one of the better ones we've had. Overall a really good experience.

    Got seated right away by our hostess and were immediately brought chips and salsa - bottomless of course. Margaritas is a place made for families and casual outings. The menu doesn't break the bank, and the portions are HUGE; enough for a second meal the next day. I was hoping they had a margarita deal for taco-Tuesday but they didn't. Service, hospitality, and food was good.

    Like the puffy tacos. They use a lot of cheese on the enchiladas. Salsa is smooth, not chunky.

Mi Ranchito is making it happen all over the metro and this location in Lenexa, even as tucked away as it is, delivers right on brand. The layout is a little bit cramped, but the service is fast and friendly, and the food is really good. The queso dip has always been one of their hooks, but it's the specials and the well-executed regulars that make it happen. The house margarita is a BIG drink, checking in at $9 and delivering well over that value. My wife loves their taco salad, a ginormous flour tortilla shell filled with a seasoned meat of your choice, guac & sour cream, and an array of crisp veggies. I love the cream cheese enchiladas, but I'm always up for an authentic off-menu special when it seems like someone's abuela is cooking in the back and you just know the food will be fabulous. It's always flavor on flavor and fresh on fresh, even when served on blazing hot plates. Prices are on par with the market, you can order online, but if you're coming in to dine, then know that parking is shared and it's cramped. But that doesn't water down your experience. Mi Ranchito brings the heat and the flavor, time and again.
