    a plate of food on a table
    Linda L.

    I used YELP to find a good Mexican place to eat. So where off the beaten path and somewhere I've never been to before. Unfortunately, total let down. I had the Mexicana enchiladas. Plate came out and the servings of the rice and beans were small and they were dry. The salsa was good but very spicy. We ordered a soda and water and when the waitress filled up the water glass, she made a face and said oh I'm going to get you another glass. I think there may have been a bug in it, but not 100% sure. However there were 2 bugs on our table and it wasn't cleaned before we sat down. We will not go back. I don't recommend this place.

    My kids go to school over this way. Rancherita has been calling my name to come try. Rancherita is only open for breakfast and lunch. I stopped by myself one afternoon before picking them up from school. I got the carne asada. It was thinly shaven meat with lots of onions, but it lacked in flavor..sadly. The kids have been wanting to try it, so today was early release so we came in. One got steak and eggs, the other got pancakes. Say they wanted to eat mexican but orders pancakes. Go figure. Anyway, son got mexican potatoes with his steak eggs. Sautéed potatoes with onions, jalapenos, and tomatoes. So good. His steak was overcooked. No complaints on the pancakes. I got the red pork stew. I really liked it, but it came out lukewarm. Eating with the homemade tortillas was yum. Just would've been better if it wasn't on the verge of getting cold. Also very slow for not being that busy. There are better places in this area, but I think this place has a lot of potential.

    I decided to try this restaurant for lunch while working in South Fort Worth. I'm glad I did. I was greeted by a server and the cook who were moving tables. The server immediately came to my table even though they were still cleaning up after a party of 30! I ordered the small guac (only $3.50) and it was fresh and delicious. I ordered the chili relleno and declined tortillas. But when my meal came out the cook brought out a tortilla and proudly told me they were hand made -- and it was so tasty! (I'll restart the diet tomorrow) The relleno was huge and VERY good with a deliciously spicy pablano and a rich tomato-based sauce on top. From the excellent attention to the basics to the affordable prices, this place is well worth venturing to!

    Food is always delicious and made fresh. Has a very much mom and pop feel to it. Has very attentive servers that are the friendliest I've ever experienced.

    The last time I was here it was 2013. When we visited this place then I had not a single nice thing to say about the food or the service. However, today I went back for lunch after 6 years. I have to say that they have improved drastically!!! I ordered 3 tacos. 2 or carne asada and 1 or barbacoa. I didn't order anything from the lunch menu even though they have lunch specials. I ordered the the asada on flour tortillas and the barbacoa and corn. However, what I got was 1 carne asada on flour, 1 carne asada on corn and 1 barbacoa on flour. I ate it anyway. It was pleasant. They actually make their flour tortillas in the restaurant so that's a nice bonus since most Mexican restaurants only offer ones bought in a bag that have been sitting on a shelf for 3 months! The corn tortillas were very good. The flour was homemade. A little over cooked but homemade. When you have a taco made with flour tortillas, they should not be able to be broken in half. They bend. Because now you have a tostada. The flavor was still nice. If you order a soda there keep in mind that they come in cans and you do not get free refills. They only drinks that come with free refills is water. We went around 12:30 and it was not busy which is a pleasant change from the usual lunch rush. Our waitress was pretty nice. If you're paying with card be ready to know how much you want to leave your waitress because they will ask how much tip you want to leave before they complete the transaction.

    Milanese lunch special, thin beef, breaded and fried. Like a country fried steak. The right amount of food for me during lunch!

What is not to love? As we're celebrating our 55th anniversary this month we were presented with a lovely, complementary sparkly rose. As today is Cinco de Mayo a Margarita was in order and the house pour was lovely. We shared a bottle of California Sauvignon Blanc to accompany the Ceviche Tatemado followed by the Tacos de Barbacoa which is the Tuesday lunch special. Both the ceviche and barbacoa tacos were just so enjoyable. The striped bass and octopus ceviche here is a unique preparation that sings in the tangy lime and Serrano vinaigrette in which it is prepared. The barbacoa is so flavorful and tender; and the thin, house made flour tortilla is fried crispy on the flat top before being filled. So good.

Servers provided a great experience aside from a bunch of flies (ate outside on the patio and were waving at flys most of the night). Three stars for the prices. We are an entirely vegetarian meal with no alcohol and paid $400 for a party of six...and we were sharing (yes, you read that correctly). $13 for a side of Mexican rice. $18 for essentially a side mashed potatoes. $16 for grilled vegetables. And the portions were SMALL. We were sharing across four adults and three kids and everyone only ended up getting a tiny amount. It was really difficult believing we were receiving any real value...it felt like the Don and figured out how to have unsuspecting guests pay double! It to say this isn't a legit high-end Mexican restaurant, it is. But I would more realistically describe it as a high-end steak house with wrap-around Mexican dishes (which explains why the side prices were so extreme). Kids quesadillas with steak were $17 a piece with no sides other than potato chips (a little odd given the context). Anyway, I'll end it where I began...food was good, servers were great...but just not worth the price. If the bill had been half or the portions were larger, it would have felt like we were actually getting value for our money.

I ordered take out and sat at the bar while I waited for my entree.Ordered two drinks while I waited, got the one at the top of the menu and a skinny margarita and they tasted exactly the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they got the job done and were fine. Food: I got the enchiladas three ways with steak. You can take the regular three sauces or choose just one if you'd like. Green sauce is the best, white sauce is pretty good, and the red mole is fine but I wish I would have swapped it out with the spicy almost (orange) sauce that comes with the seafood enchiladas. That sauce looks so good! My partner did not like the red sauce at all, again I thought it was fine just not amazing like the other two. Beans and rice are good, nothing special. Nothing wrong with the chips and salsa just run of the mill. Other thoughts: I wish I had just ate my food at the bar instead of ordering take out. Bar seats are comfortable, views of a tv for anyone sitting at the bar, and it's just a nice comfortable atmosphere in there. The hostess and bar tenders I interacted with provided great service.

They're your typical trendy taco place, with their own selection of merchandise and crazy/cheesy jokes strewn about on t-shirts and signage. They have an ample bar space, but it looked like only one patron was interested in that; the rest of us were there to eat. You order your food at the counter and get a buzzer to come back and pick it up. The staff is friendly enough, but you don't really interact with them much since it's all pretty much self service after you go to the counter. The drink station has cane sugar based sodas; it's a bit heavy on the foam, but otherwise good. We opted for the birria pizza, a couple of cups of pozole, and a side of elote. Everything was solid. The elote was good, not great, but the pozole really hit the spot given how cold it was outside. The birria pizza is what blew me away, though. This was easily one of the most unique, but tasty, things I've ever had. It's not really a pizza, more like a topped quesadilla, but they did a great job of it. I'd not only come back here next time I'm in Fort Worth, I'd be interested in opening a location in Houston if I had the money to franchise it.
