So surprised after seeing reviews so positive. Our experience was far from. Everything was so bland and just not good. The chicken they used is mostly dark meat which is awful. Even the chips and salsa were tasteless. Not returning. read more

My go to restaurant when seeing a show at the Newton Theater. Great selection of popular Mexican dishes. Friendly staff and clean bright dining area. Had the birria taco special and was thinking these were small but damn...very filling and tasty. That sauce was...mmm! I rarely ask for changes to dishes but added cotija cheese on the side which got a look but wanted a little saltiness too. It's BYOB too so don't forget your favorite beverages. read more

Mi Rancho Mexican Grill - Birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

The food was terrible ..... All four of us went out to eat at this Mexican restaurant. The enchiladas we ordered had the cheapest and worst chicken and other ingredients in them. I found gristle and a small bone while eating the food. The refried beans don't even look like beans. The place was not the best atmosphere. The bowl salad was awful too. Worst ever. I don't know who wrote these good reviews but it was the worst choice we could have made to eat here. read more

Disappointed. I haven't ate here in awhile but decided to splurge on my favorite Mexican restaurant. The Tiaquana combo didn't have any flavor, the chorizo tastes like it's gone bad, the chips are stale and the guac doesn't have any flavor. I'm so disappointed because in this economy spending $40 for a meal & guac is unreasonable but I really wanted to treat myself! Sadly, I wouldn't be back. read more

The service was great! I was in between two meals and the waitress helped guide me! I will definitely be back to try the other choice! Chips and salsa is not included. I recommend getting the queso, it was the best yet and comes with what you see in the picture! Inside had a nice sitting area, and the location was not far from other shopping locations like Marshalls, Micheal's! Follow @disheswdanielle on insta read more

My manager and I got lunch at this restaurant. When we arrived I parked on the street nearby. We walked in and was greeted and told to sit anywhere. Our server was Stephanie and she was nice. For my meal I got the Mexican shrimp meal and my boss got the shrimp tacos. When the meals came out they looked good. I dug in and the shrimp and sauce tasted good along with the rice and beans. I truly enjoyed and so did my boss. We had a good experience and everything was enjoyable. read more

Food was great. They did a great job renovating the space. It was bright. Clean. We really liked it.

Great find! You know when you get a menu and there's a picture for every single menu item that the food's gonna be good. The menu has all of the classic Mexican dishes you're looking for. We sat next to a heater and that was honestly so fantastic since it was so cold out. Toasty seats and delicious food? Come on. I only deducted a star because while the food was REALLY good, it didn't knock my socks off. I would definitely still recommend this establishment! Beef tostadas were perfectly crispy with a good amount of toppings. Lacking a little in the flavor department. Salsa and chips were pretty good. Chips were a little hard for my personal taste. My husband enjoyed his burrito, but was sad it was lacking beans. He said there were like maybe 6 beans lol. Where are the beans! Well Anyway, good place overall! read more

WOW, my first time here and will definitely be returning! The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious!

Went here before seeing show at the Newton performing arts center. The municipal lot is right behind the restaurant so it is convenient. The food was very good. Like that it's BYOB. But, the service was really slow. And the restaurant was not crowded. We were there for 1.5 hours and we still were late to the show. They apologized for the wait. But not sure if I would go back because of this. read more

Excellent food, with good service and a good atmosphere. I had the Birria tacos, which were delicious. I also really liked the salsa, I'm wondering if they make their own. read more

The food was subpar at best. No complimentary chips and salsa, I've never been to Mexican restaurant that didn't provide this! Rice was soggy and beans were awful! read more

NIce decorum friendly service and great eats at a great price. Very comfortable experience! Will definitely be back for more!

Excellent food and service ! I had the chimichanga with beans and rice cubed beef filling my wife had the quesadilla frita and she loved it which by the way is a stellar review in its self! Stop in here you won't be sorry! read more

My boyfriend and I love Mi Rancho for whenever we're in the mood for Mexican cuisine. Mi Rancho is located right in the heart of Newton. It is a BYOB, and we usually bring some sangria and beer with us. They have complimentary chips and salsa. Our go to favorites are the Mi Rancho quesadilla and the mixed fajita. Most of their entrees come with a nice helping of rice and refried beans. You will not leave Mi Rancho hungry and we usually end up having delicious leftovers for the next day. You'll want to make a reservation if you're going on a night that there's a show at Newton theater, as this hidden gem does get crowded. read more

Mi Rancho Mexican Grill - "Mi Rancho" quesadilla and the mixed fajita. - Mexican Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

Authentic and great service. Our server Carlos was awesome and spoke Spanish to us and gave us a history of the restaurant and the town. Guajaca Mexico is where most of the people come from. But he's from Peru. We had the mixed fajitas, burrito and flautas. With side of guacamole. Worth the travel. read more

Ordered take out for the first time... highly disappointed and wish I hadn't. Food was thrown together poorly... see picture. The taco shells are so stale, it's gross. The guacamole is made with liquid guacamole paste, not fresh at all. And the steak in the tacos is just bottom Of the barrel low quality... every bite has tendon... seriously. There's also barely any lettuce at all. This dish was $16!!! Would have been better off going to Taco Bell and spent half the money. Giving two stars because they were super fast, and the take-out server was super nice. read more

Mi Rancho Mexican Grill - Hard tacos with steak - Mexican Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

No...will never eat here again! Communication very poor. This server tried their best to describe the menu. myself and guest were the only two in the restaurant. The food laugh flavor and presentation was nothing to write home about. And what Mexican place doesn't use cheddar cheese? Mozzarella is for Italian food. I'm sorry but I do not recommend this place but maybe you would like it and they charged us $36 for food we barely touched never again will we go there or recommend them. Ambiance what OK read more

I have recently bought a house in Newton within a close proximity of this restaurant and I'd like to state that this place is outstanding. Im extremely happy with their food and craftsmanship. Im originally from Arizona with a mexican dad and since being in New Jersey this restaurant has came the closest to replicating authenticity. I highly recommend. read more

Great place for spicy Mexican food one of the only ones in the area highly recommended.

I come here at least once a week just for the burritos, it's my new favorite. Good environment, great staff, good location.

I was craving a burrito so I had heard such raving reviews I wasn't too bad but the burrito was a bit on the dry side and a tad bland. I'll give it another try because I love supporting small / local businesses and the owners seem very pleasant :) read more

I have been to this place 20+ times and was a big supporter during pandemic. Food is authentic & service was always good matching the food. I suspect there are new owners, because my most recent visit experienced a real drop in quality of the food. Place didn't have the same vibe. Staff always smiled in the past, but not now. All the earmarks of new owners explaining the lower passion of the original owners. read more

Good fresh Mexican food. The Nopalitos salad was delicious, as was the Carnitas lunch special. I enjoyed everything immensely and will go back when I am in the area. So good! read more

Date of visit: October 2015 (They have been open less that one week, we went on their 1st Friday night) Atmosphere/Decor: Fun, festive, bright. Casual. Service: Good! No complaints whatsoever. The server was attentive and nice. The owner stopped at the table too and she was very nice! The restaurant was busy and the staff worked smoothly and efficiently. Food: Awesome! We were really pleasantly surprised! On par with restaurants in Dover, although perhaps a more limited menu. Speaking of the menu, there are pictures of EVERY dish on the menu, so you know exactly what you're getting. Everything was fresh and very flavorful. Final Thoughts: Woohoo, this place is awesome!! Finally some really good Mexican in the area! GO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! read more

I placed an order of tacos... worst tacos ever, dry they weren't carnitas ( yes they were pork, but not carnitas!) they placed the tacos in aluminum foil when I opened them they fell all over! $15.00 I believe at least a plastic or paper plate to hold them together!! No flavor.. worst place, or maybe just the tacos!! SMH.. an the daughter of the owner had the worst attitude!! SMH read more

Went here based on good reviews; however, it was okay. The chips that we were given were stale. The food was okay. Fish/tilapia was good, but the stuffed pepper was only stuffed with cheese (not very stuffed if you ask me). Chimichanga was okay. Three stars for good service, but also, it was empty. read more
