Came here with the wife a few months ago. It was good, and reasonably priced. Lovely staff and atmosphere.

My girlfriend at the time and I shared an apartment across the street when they first opened in the early 1990’s. The food was great then and still is today. Whenever I’m in the Washington DC area and have a chance I stop by this spot for the good food and memories.

Great indoor/outdoor seating, food and drinks are really good, the servers are quick and friendly. Bathrooms are small, but otherwise it’s a great place to grab some margaritas and tex mex.

Been going to this place for 29 years. Best Tex-Mex restaurant around. Flour tortillas made from scratch daily. Customer service is 10/10 no matter what time of day. Fajita platters are always seasoned well.

Our favorite go-to place for Mexican food. Guac as well as chips/ salsa are fantastic. There are few drinks that beat their Cadillac margarita!

After many years away, I decided to return to Mi Rancho for lunch. Unfortunately, my experience this time was disappointing.
From the start, the server was rude. As a Latino, I have noticed in the past that some staff seem less welcoming to Latino customers, while catering more warmly to their Caucasian clientele. While this bias did not ruin my meal, it was disheartening to see it still present after so many years.
Later, when I went to the restroom, another employee carelessly pushed the door open on me and acted as if nothing had happened. Again, I chose not to let this behavior affect my visit, but it added to the overall poor impression.
Our table server eventually tried to make conversation, but by that point I had already decided it was best to ignore the lack of professionalism. At checkout, she seemed upset with the 15% tip we left, reacting with visible dissatisfaction and then walking away aggressively toward the front desk.
I share this feedback not out of anger, but in the hope that management will provide better training on customer service and respect for all guests. Every customer should feel valued, regardless of background. Business is business, and respect is the foundation of long-term success.
I remember when Mr. Juan, the owner, built this restaurant with pride and dedication. I’m sure he hopes his family and employees will continue that legacy with the same care he once showed. Unfortunately, my recent experience fell short of those standards.

It is an interesting but amazing Tex mex restaurant. I liked the musicians, I always saw them before at other restaurants but this group played very good. Strongly recommended.

I've been here more times than I can count and it's always been good - mostly on weekdays. Apparently Sunday evenings are busy. We waited nearly 45 mins for someone to take our order and when the food came out, the nachos were soggy and unappealing. We did tell our server, who was clearly overwhelmed with tables, so we finished our meal (the rest was fine) and left. I think I'll stick to weekdays. One meh meal doesn't deter me.
Excellent place, family atmosphere, the owner is very friendly, it was my first time visiting him and I would return

Only been once, been meaning to go back. Their place in Germantown is the best Mexican out there. Food was very good and like the Brasileira Gerente desde morei la'. Best place like this by far in this area of Montgomery County.

My wife and I love this local Mexican restaurant. Unpretentious atmosphere, tasty food. The enclosed outdoor seating has a good vibe. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
