    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!

    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.

    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.

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

You walk up to order, grab a seat, and wait for your buzzer to go off. One thing to note: if you order drinks, keep an eye out for them because they're not brought to your table. As for my meal, I tried the mushroom, shrimp, and pastor tacos. The pastor was underwhelming, and the shrimp was overcooked. The mushroom taco was easily the standout and will definitely be my go-to if I come back. The weather will soon be nice for enjoying the patio, but there's also plenty of indoor seating available.
