I opted for the Huarache which includes Naan Flat Bread, with carne asada. Delicious. Not as filling as I thought it would be but still tasty. My friends recommended the fajitas and they seemed content with their order. The chips and salsa are plentiful and free.

Oh I love Mi Ranchito. I used to go here a lot with my college friends because of their generous portions, good price and fun vibes. I haven’t been back here for quite sometimes, but the food and the service at my recent visit were just as good as I remembered. We came in late on Friday night. They were packed, but we got seated right away. Food came out super fast. My waitress constantly checked in with us and brought out extra chips/salsa. Amazing service! I felt like I already got full after eating too much chips. My go to order here is the mixto fajita, guacamole and the tamarind water. Check it out if you haven’t.

Went in for dinner with friends on a weekday night and was pleasantly surprised. From the parking on previous passing I've not come because it was possibly too crowded, but tonight it was different. It's very nice and clean when you enter and we were seated immediately. The server was prompt at taking our order and the food came out very quick. Table was kinda small considering the amount of plates brought out for 4 people but that'd be the only complaint I had. Everything was delicious and I would certainly return.

The place was mobbed but we were seated very quickly; the atmosphere festive. Our group ordered enchiladas, chimichangas, a massive burrito, and arroz con pollo. All of us loved our meals. Clean and well decorated. A new must stop in our trips to St. Louis.
