    Amazing Grilled Chicken Quesadilla
    Layne R.

    I went back and forth on whether or not to give this Mexican restaurant 4 or 5 stars. In the end, I gave in and awarded them what I believe is a well-deserved 5 stars. Compared to the other Mexican restaurants in Crozet, Mi Rancho is the clear winner in the competitions of flavor, ambiance, and service. I went into this restaurant for the first time with low expectations because of a person who had had a mixed experience. Nevertheless, this restaurant was only a short walk from my apartment so I figured I'd give it a try. I was given the standard chips and salsa, which thankfully was free. The chips were warm, and there was great evidence that they were made in house. The salsa, also made in house, was tasty and had the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Not pictured here is their fabulous cheese dip. You do not need to order any cheese dip size other than a small, but rest assured their cheese dip is exceptional. Warm, blended flavors make up a dip with the perfect consistency and no clumping. And then, the quesadilla, a meal that is typically soggy or dry, came out with color, freshness, and stuffed with plenty of ingredients. It was one of the better quesadillas I've had at a Mexican restaurant in a long time. You really can't go wrong with this place. While I cannot guarantee satisfaction, I CAN guarantee that this place is better than average. For a Mexican restaurant, that's typically as good a guarantee as you can get!

    This is an easy 4 stars. If I came here more it'd prob be a 5. This salsa was fire! Loved it. Chips were good. Queso was good. Refried beans were very good. Had some whole beans in there. Was yum. My veggie quesadilla was mouthwatering. Whole button mushrooms, peppers, and not filled with a ton of onions. Also they cooked the quesadilla perfectly. Some places leave them dry and cut Into triangles. This was really good with great flavor. I want more.

    Loved this!!! Best cheese dip ever had.

    We got the chips with queso and salsa and then for dinner I did the 2 beef taco combo meal with extra rice instead of beans.

John behind the bar is you're go to guy! He asked our names and then remembered them throughout the whole night (2hrs on a sat night)! Ordered the Mussels in white sauce-which was light & huge-yum. 12 raw oysters-4 different kinds, loved all 8 options! Had the special-trust the chef or John. We had the crab cakes which were delicious-as expected! The main room or bar is ideal but the covered patio is worth the wait! Oh yeah, and the free fries they brought us-delicious!

I got the clam chowder to start. I was not use to the sourness of the chowder. It was like someone squeezed too much lemon into the chowder. Not a lot of clams either. I would not say that is a New England Calm Chowder. For entrees, we got the Rockfish and fried oyster Po' Boy. The only miss on the Rockfish is the corn. They were not sweet at all so do not match well with the clams. The fried oysters Po' Boy has a generous portion of oyster and fries. The dipping sauce was really good with the fries. Only miss is the pickle onions is really sour. To end the night, we had the key lime pie. It is a good ending to the night. Interestingly, I had sour tasting in all my food.

From the moment we stepped in everyone shared our excitement and served us with so much happiness. The food was incredible--the menu was so diverse and had so many tasty options. We had the mussels which were mind blowing. We always order mussels on any menu and we agreed that these were probably the best we have ever had overall. You could drink the delicious broth they are cooked in or just soak the wonderful House made bread in it and eat it like we did. They gave us complimentary champagne and pumpkin cheesecake which was totally unnecessary but speaks to the thoughtfulness of this restaurants staff and ownership. We had another dinner the next day at another respected restaurant and it was such a let down after Duner's. The wine list here is delicious and fairly priced. Our entrees were both fresh, great portions, and genuinely delicious. We both can't wait to come back here again and again. Thank you to the chef, servers, and staff who made our night so yummy and special it was the highlight of our trip besides saying "I do".

We make an early 5pm resy and there is a line of folks in the parking lot waiting to enter...great sign! It's not a huge restaurant but there is a secondary porch area which was opened during the pandemic so it looks like the space has doubled. It's a quaint and cozy feel and everyone is friendly and inviting. The menu isn't huge but there's a good selection of beef, fish, chicken dishes. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts app was very tasty..had a nice kick to it with good flavor. The Halibut, creamy Shrimp & Sausage Pasta and the Coq au Vin were all very enjoyable. Fresh ingredients and just good solid dishes all around. What we really enjoyed was the Coconut Cake with fresh berries. Wow, fluffy cake with a nice berry sauce and fresh whipped cream. One of the best coconut cakes we've had. Been very impressed with the Charlottesville food scene and Duner's didn't disappoint.

The space itself gives you a family bar feeling. Looks like it would be a great locals spot. They had enough tables for any size groups and it was very clean. For appetizers we had the fried pickles and pork rinds. I'd give the fried pickles a 2/5, they had flavor but lacked crunch. The breading was missing on 80% of the pickle. The pork rinds, FRIEND, those were probably the highlight of my meal. The sizzle and pop, the crunch, flavor...I'm drooling just thinking about them again. I don't think I can ever have them from a bag again. 5/5 Main Coarse we ordered the mac-n-skilled with pulled pork, the kids chicken taco with tots, brisket stuff shells, and brisket Philly cheesesteak with a side of hush puppies. Mac-n-skillet, the meat was a tad bit dry but had a good amount of cheese. Creamy. Only downside was the pork. 3.5/5. The Brisket Philly was cheesy, meat was good, great flavor just a bit too greasy. Hush puppies were good, nothing stood out in particular. 4/5. The kids chicken taco and tots were ok. Not enough cheese and the tortilla was hard, tots were just right. 3.5/5. The brisket stuffed shells were unique, loved the flavor just a bit too much cheese to meat ratio for me personally. The brisket was cooked perfectly. Would order again. 5/5 We were in and out in less than an hour. We were never rushed and the atmosphere was warm. The prices are reasonable as well.

    Second time we've been here both returning from the shore…read more Forgot: Edit. VERY pet friendly. First, the service is excellent and speedy. I appreciated the selection of local beers on draft too. Found prices to be very reasonable these days. Next, the sides are out of this world. The green beans and collard greens really compete with the best Grammy homemade ones. Mac and cheese, hush puppies, and chicken tenders were on point. I thought the portion sizes were good for $3 sides. I had the ahí tacos and a side of brisket. lol. I wanted to try the brisket! The tacos has a nice flavor with an excellent sauce but the tuna was unseasoned. The biggest issue is the taco sat in juices from the toppings and became soggy quickly. A little easier on the toppings and it would be a really good dish. The brisket. Man if you hype up your bbq it better be on point. It was not. Crazy crazy dry and not really tender either. I got the flavor they intended with the oak smoke but that was really poorly cooked brisket. If you can find a good main dish everything else is lined up for a great meal. Maybe make a meal of the sides? :)
