Mi Ranchito Cafe - Yummy breakfast I had at mi ranchito!!! - Mexican Near Me - Stockton, California

I have tried a lot of mexican restaurants in my life all over California! This is one of the best eats!!!! You will not be disappointed!! Homemade tortillas! Everything is so delicious! Family friendly environment! Love this place, been coming here for over 30 years. A must try! read more

I am in LOVE with this restaurant. I was raised in Stockton and eaten at this restaurant as a treat as a child. I am now living in Hawaii, for over 10 years and still drool over how delicious the food is! I'm secretly hoping they'll come out with a cookbook so I can recreate the ono (deliciousness) here! Can't wait to be back in town, healthily so I can eat, eat and eat some more authentic Mexican food! read more

OK just so everyone knows, and read my post, I'm only gonna put stuff on here that I either really enjoy and love or really disgusting as far is this restaurant the owner if I think I was right is arrogant SOB he thinks of Mexican food don't stink The food was delicious though,not gonna complain there although the tortillas were a little weird lotta dry flower on them and oddly shaped and could've been a little more rubbery if that makes sense I just bought a cuppa coffee at the gas station and the guy greets my family at the door and says "you can't bring a coffee in" like if I'm some kind a bum that brings his coffee in every place he goes. I thought to myself that's fine I'll buy a cuppa coffee and deduct that from my tip and I let him know that read more

I'm surprised with the reviews because my food was terrible. I ordered a quesadilla and it was only half the tortilla. I opened the inside and only 3 pieces of shredded chicken. If you order a quesadilla you want the whole thing not half with little bits of chicken and for 8 dollar. Never coming again. read more

my mom has been going here since she was a little girl and now she's 44. i've been going here since i was a baby. one worker was best friends with my grandpa and he died in 2012. she's treats me and my mom like her daughters. the food is great and everyone is very nice. sometimes you will get a moody waiter but they are just maybe having a bad day. everyone knows you have bad days so you can't criticize other people for having them knowing damn well you be just as moody. anyways like i said the food is great and i love going here! read more

I love this place! Especially the huevos rancheros! The tortillas to the salsa all has the perfect flavor.

Pretty good food. Need more salsa Options but definitely not something big enough to reduce the stars from the service.

This is definitely one of my favorite spots food is always extremely fresh. I like the small restaurant feel. The huevos rancheros is the best I ever had. Convenient location right off the freeway. Service can be a little bit slow sometimes but I don't mind because I like to relax there. This place is definitely worth a try read more

Our go-to place for breakfast!! Delicious salsa, machaca, and tortillas! Lots of great dishes to choose from. David and Angelica are the best! read more

WHAT A DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE!!!!! I came to the cafe on a Saturday morning with my family and my service dog as I was walking in the owner said you can't bring dogs in here I tried to explain to him it was a service animal and that she was registered with the state and he continued to say we don't allow dogs in here once again I said it's a service animal not a dog then he walked up to me and said I'm not going to say it again get your dog out of here so to avoid drama I took my service animal home and came back to eat with my family when I came back I tried to explain to him the laws according to the American disabilities act and he said he knew that he can only ask two questions if someone comes in with a service animal so clearly he knew the laws and chose to ignore them I tried to explain to him that some people who aren't as willing to take their service animals home could try and sue him which he took as a threat and then said "people try and come after me all the time because they see how good the business is doing and they want my money i wish you would try and sue me you and your whole family can sue me if you want you people are not a concern of mine". I will say the place has AMAZING food and the waitresses we're very nice but due to the owners attitude, rudeness, and willingness to ignore state and federal laws I will never be returning there. read more

Been going there for years since I was a little girl . The food is tasty and has never changed. Homemade tortillas, homemade salsa, love the enchiladas. read more

Very disappointed. Walked in and waiting for acknowledgement. We could see workers but no one said anything. The guy who came in after us told us sit anywhere as he walked to the bathroom. I don't know if he worked there or was a patron. We sat and waited. We ordered menudo and huevos con chorizo. The chorizo plate was fine. The menudo had no flavor. The broth tasted like water. I find it so hard to believe that a Mexican restaurant can't make menudo with flavor. Was very disappointed. I shared my Bf meal and decided I'll eat somewhere else later that day. The coffee was very very strong. My Bf loves strong coffee but he said this was aweful. We paid $15 for the 2 coffees and one plate. They do not itemize their receipts so I have no idea how much coffee or the plate was. They definelty need room for improvement. Be friendly, acknowledge people and most importantly make the best food you can be proud of. I personally will not come back. The impression of this place was not worth a second visit. read more

I've eaten at this restaurant many times over the last 15 years and was truly disappointed with the flavor of the food and the service. I was part of a big party which I am accustomed to, however the wait just to have be acknowledged was extremely longer than normal. The food really had no flavor at all. I won't ever be going back there as it is out of town for me. read more

The food is good but the service has been bad multiple times I've came. The first time I was seated in the back of the restaurant and I'm guessing they forgot about us because we had to wait 25 minutes to get a menu. During covid19 they offer outdoor seating with roughly 15 tables and one waitress. I understand they want to cut down on people working probably but the mornings get packed with one waitress trying to do everything. Something is definitely wrong with the management. The food is good enough to look passed the horrible service, though I would recommend ordering food to-go. read more

The food was pretty lame. Looks like a cheap diner. Service was unorganized. No reason to eat here unless your car breaks down in their parking lot. read more

Service was really nice and the food was good except tacos were not in a soft tortia and tasted like chips. The super burito was really dry(it had only chicken, rise, and some vegetables. Nothing else) and wasn't wrapped good, so the food just fell out of tortia. Fries were really oily and the portion was too small. Overall, the food was poor quality for the prices given. read more

Great tasting food. Ordered the enchiladas with red sauce. Very tasty. Staff friendly and accommodating. Reasonable prices. Will come back soon. Highly recommend. read more

Mi Ranchito is an old time favorite in Stockton that serves consistent quality home cooked food. No pretentious fancy food just good wholesomeness. May get very busy at times and service may slow down but when you're good they will come! read more

Service is meh.. food is amazing tho I'll put up w any type of service as long as I get my macahca! Lol

Ordered once to go... wanted chicken enchiladas verde but they were out of the green so had to get red sauce, and it was really good!! I enjoyed every bit of it. The sauce was authentic and reminded me of home. I assume they are a favored place since the parking lot is always full which is a good sign. Will have to dine in for the full experience but food is excellent from what I had. Only thing is the tortilla maker needs to practice their shape, mine were not circular but instead odd shapes lol. Nonetheless, tasted good. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town!! Perfect every time with excellent service! They have the BEST hand made tortillas ever! Excellent stop for breakfast and lunch! Red gravy is a must!! read more

I think this is one of my all time favorite restaurants. The tortillas are fantastic and the chilaquiles are superb. If you are worried about cleanliness in this dive looking place they actually shut down Tuesday afternoons just to break down the kitchen and clean everything. When I see some of these reviews where people are unhappy I just say don't even bother with burritos and tacos but explore all the tons of other options on the menu! Explore! Mexican food is not just tacos and burritos! I always look forward to this place when I am in Stockton and have the time to sit down or when I am headed to the other side of the state and need a rest from driving. I love this place and most of the people I have taken here also see the charm, the ones who haven't, well I haven't been that impressed with their taste anyway. read more

Service is good but the food is great!especially breakfast time.Mari's enchiladasyour welcome

Just waited 20 minutes for nobody to ask my nobody to seat me And nobody to give me a menu and nobody to give me the least water, tried to ask for water got looked through. Just walked out and was the best decision ever lol read more

this was the most horibble experience i have had there. usually tge food is awesome. not this time. i hace been coming here for over 20 yrs buy the menudo n their burritos and have never had a problem til now. i get out of church and want some good old menudo and this is what they gave me...this is terrible. so naturally i called back n took it back and they fixed the issue but that wasnt no better.. i dont who the chef is of if he or she is blind n have no sense of taste bcz this mess is horible also...this is a mexican restaurant where one goes to get authentic mexican food but instead i got broth with chunks of tripe. so i gave 1 star bcz they have to do better. instead of giving me more that nasty unseasoned broth what i shouldce been given was an option for my money back or a free meal. now with that incentive i would want to stay as a customer. instead i showed all my friends and family what they would be getting when they got there. bcz more of us was headed there after church. i couldnt just sit and let my family n friends be tricked into purchasing broth when we can make better at home..so now after all these yrs i have to go and find me another mexican restaurant that has wonderful menudo...every that says they sale menudo dont have good rasting kind. okay with this my journey begins for a mexican restaurant that wont sell me broth for menudo read more

Mi Ranchito Cafe - NO FLAVOR NO HOMNY..JUST HORRIBLY DRY - Mexican Near Me - Stockton, California

See all

Quick update, I think they read my review because they NEVER run out of those awesome home made tortilla's anymore! Parking has gotten better as you can now park out back! Still awesome food, in fact it may have gotten better? If that's even possible? I dunno but there are still plenty of bums nearby but not on the property. I apologize for calling people bums, how about homeless? This part of Stockton is still a little bit 'dicey' so I recommend not leaving valuables in your car but it's WORTH it for the food. Also the service on my last few visits has been top notch. God I love this place. read more

Great food and service! Let them know we had to be out quick because we had to be somewhere. They made sure our food came out quick. We were accommodated for the big group that we had. Would gladly come back to have some breakfast when in the area. read more

As a native Californian, I am very well schooled when it comes to Mexican food, and Mi Ranchito tops my list. The food is authentic Mexican, just like my family would make it. Tortillas are homemade and all ingredients are extremely fresh. I recommend the enchiladas as I have never had anything that comes close to matching what I get here. Or for breakfast, you can't go wrong with the chilaquiles. Overall the prices are very reasonable, especially with the portions you receive. Highly recommended. read more

Not too bad. Service was good and they have homemade tortillas.

Drove by this restaurant and went in , it is now my favorite Mexican restaurant. Everything is homemade and delicious, especially the tortillas. Another favorite of mine is the huevos rancheros, the sauce is to die for. Also, they make their own chorizo and it is delicious. Try this place out, you won't be disappointed. read more

My Father and I have been eating at this place since I was little!!! They have the best huevos rancheros with chicana, if I'm spelling that right!!! I love this place. Now my family and I eat here at least one Sunday out of the month. :) read more

My husband and I ate at Mi Ranchito for the first time today. The service was great but unfortunately the food was terrible. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with Chile Verde and he ordered the Huevos Rancheros with with Chicana. Our first impression when the plates came out was that they were covered in a very watery sauce. Once we started eating it just went downhill. The sauce was watery, the food was bland and luke warm. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

Visited this morning with 4 other retirees. Poor service long wait in an empty restaurant. Drink refills were so bad that one of is had to get up and get coffee for ourselves. I will never return there because of poor service. read more

The food is not worth the service you receive here. The wait is horrible, no one tells you if you need to be seated so eventually you just sit anywhere and wait for someone to finally come greet you. Probably waited close to 20-25 mins for our order just to be taken. All the food came out at varying times and the menudo was awful. Finally after we asked for the check several times, we just got up to leave and finally got our check. Once we got to the register they decided to make it cash only because their machine didn't work and we then had to drive around looking for a gas station or bank to get cash and pay. Driving around in the ghetto. Long story short, so not worth it, save the trip... read more

Don't let those star fool you. This place sucks worse food ever. Worse service ever over charged me by a dollar which they can keep if it makes them sleep better. But over all don't come here. Do yourself a favor. read more

I eat here once a week. I would usually give it 4 stars, but my visit here on 1-5-14 was definitely sub par. it was one hour and fifteen minutes before closing. we went in, it was empty and everyone was cleaning. it was as if we interrupted them and we felt like they would have preferred to not serve us so they could go home as soon as they closed. I was bragging to my wife and daughter about the home made flour tortillas and the ones they served us were store bought. I asked for more chips and salsa and she only brought more chips,,,,no salsa. the food was microwaved and was the worst I ever had from them, and so was the service. I recommend going in the morning or for lunch. the food and service is usually ok at those times. I will still go back cause it is usually very good, just stay away if they are going to close in an hour or two or it will probably suck, just like it did for me and my family. read more

Great food! I like the machaca with cheese no chile please. I have a true and funny story to share. I was eating breakfast one Sunday morning at Mi Ranchito. The table next to us was finished & was not happy with their service so the left the waitress a few coins. They obviously never met this waitress cause she ain't no joke. She's a little lady and very loud and bossy. Anyway when she saw those coins as a tip she got pissed. She got the coins ran outside and threw them back at then and said a lot of bad words in Spanish. It was too funny. And you know no one else left coins on the table after that. read more

What a wonderful break while traveling I-5. Service was quick, food was great, and the atmosphere was warm. I can wholeheartedly recommend the á la carte burritos, which are made with handmade flour tortillas and are much smaller than typical California burritos. Mine was filled with tender chile verde and it made me so so happy. This place has table service and complimentary chips and salsa. Bustling and efficient on a Sunday. read more

I heart this place. My family has been going here forever, since I was little. The food is always amazing. The Mari's enchiladas for breakfast is my usual which comes in a delicious enchilada sauce with an over easy egg on top rice and beans. The service is ok. You have your good and bad servers like any restaurant. We have waited sometimes for over 30 minutes to get drinks and other times they are prompt. And that's ok because I'm in heaven with that first bite. I love how they don't change a thing, it keeps your memories going as a kid. Highly recommend.... don't mind the crack heads hanging out they don't bite.. usually . Happy Eating! read more
