    Carne asada tacos
    Kylie P.

    Still one of my favorite local spots for street tacos. I definitely preferred their old location by Peterson's donuts, but at least the food hasn't changed since they moved! I always opt for their carne asada tacos and enjoy them every time.

    Menu - March 2025

    I'm really bummed! Prior to Mi Rancho Market moving, they had the best carne asada but this spot left a lot to be desired. The tacos were still cheap with most under $2.50. This is a small price increase from the previous location. We got a cabeza, al pastor, and 2 carne asada tacos. The best was the cabeza, followed by al pastor, and unfortunately the carne asada wasn't even good. I'm not even sure why / lack of flavor / no char / texture? I've had plenty of carne asada tacos at many other places that were much better. Food came out fast. You can peruse the market to get a drink for your meal. Cheap prices but I miss the old spot.

    I forgot about this taco shop since they moved from their previous location, but a quick Yelp recommendation for Taco Tuesday had me cruising here for lunch! I' was very lucky when I stopped in as a massive line formed behind me after I finished ordering. Service was great, and the food was quick to deliver from ordering to taking it back home. Extensive meat options, but I opted for the chicken asado, carne asada and Al pastor. The flavor was so well balanced Among all three flavor. My husband ordered the California burrito and it was stuffed full of meat and potatoes. I would definitely come back again to try the other taco options

    Taco Tuesday

    Was very excited to try after a few people recommended this place taco Tuesday has very good price for tacos and their agua frescas we're definitely some of the best aguas ! salsa is very good and salsa bar is open for dine in very good got a few tacos and they were ok but as soon as I was done eating and was about to toss my plate I saw a small roach around the salsa bar and if there's 1 there's more it's very unfortunate and a health hazard health inspection I would of loved to leave a great review but I'm honest and I don't like pest near or in my food so no thank You NEVER AGAIN

    Adoba Taco & Watermelon Jamaica
    Joe D.

    A friend suggested to come grab adoba tacos after work for Taco Tuesday. The value was great and the taco itself was pretty decent for being inside a Mexican market. I also tried the watermelon jamaica and really liked it. My friend had the citrus style drink and she loved it. Cozy nice little spot to grab some quick affordable tacos! Service and food came out quickly!

    My first time at the newer location and the food is as delicious as ever. I always go for the Al Pastor and Carnitas, but everything is delicious here. I also had a watermelon Agua Fresca....super refreshing, especially when it's 101° outside. I highly recommend.

    New location but still as Tasty.

    10/12/2023 Good morning my San Diego Foodies Friends. Well I went to Escondido yesterday to check out Mi Rancho Market in their new location and see if Their Street Tacos are still A favorite. Mi Rancho Market 649 W Mission Ave, Ste 10, Escondido, CA 92025 First I'll say the new location is much larger and nicer. The inside is fresh and clean with several seating sections. The Salsa Bar could use some work but it works for now. I used to eat at the old place a lot and always loved the Street Tacos so my fingers were crossed they would still be good. Now for the Food. They have a great selection of Street Food on their menu. I decided to Go For 6 different Street Tacos. #1 was a Lingua Taco. As always it was Super Tender and Seasoned Perfectly. A Favorite for me at this Taco Shop. Recommended. #2 was a Carnitas Taco. Very Tender and Juicy. Also seasoned Nicely. #3 was a Birria de Chivo Taco. Very tasty. (Goat) #4 was a Borrego Taco. (Lamb) Tender and well seasoned. #5 was a Asada Taco. (Steak) Tender, Juicy and Flavorful. #6 went for The Fish Taco. It's a regular sized taco. Nicely Fried with a tasty sauce. Well they were all very good. They are Street Taco Size and most are Only $1.99 each. I wouldn't get the fish taco again not because it wasn't good but because there are much better Fish Tacos in Escondido. I will stop here still now and then for a great Street Taco or Six Nice Tacos For $1.99 Give them a shot if your in the area.

    Went here during covid and got birria tacos, they were tasty. After covid we came back and got birria and adobada, was good. We also got cantaloupe Agua Fresca, soooo good! Now I finally went to their new bigger location, the birria was still good, cantaloupe Agua Fresca was also good but their carne asada was very bland. There was no taste to it. The adobada was just ok also, nothing special. I would still come here for the Agua Fresca and birria but will pass on the carne asada

    Mi Rancho Market (B- ) : Not bad, but not good enough for the "revisit" list I've been wanting to try out this place given their tacos Mi Rancho Market tacos at $1.99 (al pastor / carne asada) are significantly cheaper than TJ's at $3.25 (adobada / carne asada). Walking in with Penny, my daughter and her boyfriend, I was quite excited. There was no air-conditioning, lights were out, and our party seemed to be the only non-Mexican patrons - all good signs for good tacos! And with four of us, we got to try more things! Carne asada fries (B ): Being Canadian, it was like a Mexican poutine! Seasonings & sauces were good, but the beef lacked crust. The fries were cooked nicely, but they're clearly frozen fries. Good, but quite far from "great." For all the tacos, I think they use a different type of tortilla from what I'm used to. It's thicker, wetter, and significantly doughier and to me, that very much took away from every taco. Al pastor taco (B- ): meat was seasoned quite nicely, but no crust making the overall experience a little flat. Significantly inferior to TJ's adobada. Lengua (B- ): Super tender with good meat flavor, but again, too light on the seasoning. The lengua at TJ's was significantly better. Chicharron on salsa verde (C ): My daughter's boyfriend suggested I try this, and when someone tells me to try, of course I go for it! I guess I had preconceived notions of what the pork belly would taste like, and this tasted very different. A hint of acidity, and it tasted a little gamey. Didn't hate it, but can't say I enjoyed it. Overall, a fun experience, but there are other taco places I would prioritize over Mi Rancho Market.

    First time here! Read an online write up about their tacos, can't wait & can't believe I've never been here

    Food: Authentic & delicious street tacos & burritos. Service: Quick & professional Ambiance: It's a tiny store, very casual, it could use an upgrade, but if you need a place to sit for the food you ordered, you can grab a seat. It's by Petersons donuts, they share the same parking lot. Pricing: Average

    Hola, qué precio tiene una taquiza para 20 a 30 personas? Sería el 5 de Junio en Poway, gracias.

    Hola buenas tarde desafortunadamente menos de 50 personas no hacemos. Pero tenemos la opcion de pick up.

    Are they open? Or taking take out orders?

    They are open inside and having dine in and take out there's also seating outside.

    Do they offer rhe soups daily? How often do they offer rhe soups, such as chivo soup? I went there several.times but only get the soup once.

    They have chivo soup every day!

    Where can I find their catering pricing? It's not on yelp or on their website and I cannot seem to find an email address to contact them.

    You have to call in or go in they do not post anything online.

    Yummy carne asada burrito…read more We started out sharing a burrito and the plan was to order a carne asada fries after the burrito, this way it's freshly made. By the time we finished the burrito, half each, we were already full! It was meaty goodness! The beef was tender, juicy, and flavorful! Will go back here again next time we're in the area. Definitely recommend.

    It'd been a couple years since the sad limp rolled taco encounter. So given how often these places…read moreturn over ownership or management, I figured it time to give That Mexican Place anonymously go. I ordered a #1 combo (shredded beef taco, cheese, enchilada, beans/rice) for myself, and two shredded beef tacos à la carte for Mom, to eat at home a half mile away. Upon opening, the combo looked good, although the tiny smattering of pico on the taco and particularly the super skimpy portions of both beans and rice immediately stood out - a real bummer as I REALLY love Mexican beans and rice. So presentation was quite disappointing. Then, the second I picked up the taco, it was apparent it didn't survive the trip, having completely disintegrated on the bottom. This appeared to be from using a thinner than usual tortilla to make the taco, which was then set directly in a puddle of unusually watery enchilada sauce. So that was strike 2. As for the cheese enchilada, there was so little cheese had I not known what I was eating I wouldn't have been able to tell you. In addition, it was swimming in the same watery enchilada sauce that caused the demise of the taco. As for the à la carte beef tacos, mom reported they were good. So at least she was happy (Whew! Thank goodness!). The good news is, the food all tasted good, with the issues all relating to quantity and plating, not quality or taste. So despite the low rating, I'll be back at least once more to give them another go, if only because it's so conveniently close to home. Fingers crossed...

I honestly haven't tried too much on their menu because I can't finish their generously portioned entrees after a cup of the poblano. I usually go for one of their salads, the Asian chicken or the spinach salad. Or I'll get a la carte street tacos, the chicken or pork. I like the salsas that come with their complimentary chips. To this day I can't decide between them. The salsa verde has more of a kick but not too much heat. The salsa rojo is milder and thicker with nice flavor. Lots of retirees in the area coming to dine. It can get busy, especially Thursday and Friday lunchtime, and then you have to be patient for your food.

Complimentary chips-n-salsa was provided with not one, but two different salsas! The service was slightly slow, but friendly. The menus were a little sticky and there was food splashed on the wall at the table and a used napkin under one table. They seem to have a loyal local following of regulars, particularly an older crowd. We drove 15 miles to exclusively visit this restaurant as it had been on our list for a while. We would return if we were in the area. If their service was a little quicker and the cleaning was a little more sparkling, they'd get the extra star. (April 2026). Helpful?

Again liked the decor, they need to curate it down a little. Music and better lighting would elevate it so much. We got two different menus and got confused but apparently one was the old menu. Drinks... 6/10. My mangoneada needed more mango and tajin, it needed more flavor. My friends thought their drinks were also just ok as well. One had to ask for more hot sauce for her michelada, they only had tapatío. She said it was bland. Foods also just ok. The birria tacos were the best part, def would order again. Tortilla didn't split, good portion and the consomé was good. Cheese dip tasted like velveta. Nachos with beef were decent. Fried ice cream was not good. I've had this dish many times and it was stale and didn't taste fried. Idk if the cereal was stale or the ice cream was so frozen but it was not good. The salsa that comes with the chips is more of a tomato based and we weren't offered other salsas. We asked and got two others but the flavor was just not there. Paid about 60 bucks with tip for two happy hour items, a mangonada and dessert. Again, if the flavors were there, it would be worth and I would be back. It's such a unique space, easy to get to, plenty of parking, beautiful art in the center portion, they are so close to getting it right.
