This was my first time here and the parking situation was a disaster. The parking lot is in the back, over crowded and cars were just kind of parked willy-nilly. It made it very difficult (and possibly dangerous) to maneuver in and out of the area. And dealing with all of that just to find out that there was absolutely no where to park. I ended up parking next door in the Burger King parking lot (? shhh), along with a couple other folks that were going to eat there too. I went at dinner time, around 6, and this place was REEEEALLY busy! I was very pleasantly surprised that our wait was only about 15 minutes. I loved the interior decor, so bright and colorful with traditional tile, pottery, and wall hangings. It's what all Mexican restaurants could take the time to look like, it's nice to have that authentic Mexican Hacienda vibe as part of your dining experience. However, their tables and booths are so close together that it was uncomfortably crowded and very noisy. It took probably 10 minutes or so until our server got to our table to take our drink order, and then it took a couple of reminders for our drinks to finally get to our table. Our server was nice and apologetic, I'm sure things got overlooked because it was just so busy in a little chaotic. The food? Well, it was okay, your standard Mexican food fare. The prices are a bit higher than your average Mexican restaurant, but sadly that extra cost didn't show up in the food. But! Never in a million years would I ever have thought I would say this about Mexican rice..... I absolutely loved this rice! I don't ever eat the rice at Mexican restaurants because it's so bland, but THIS rice! It is very well seasoned and so flavorful that I couldn't get enough! Sadly though, that was the only thing I ate that was memorable. So in conclusion, I more than likely won't go back, but if I do, it definitely will NOT be at dinner time!

This is a real gem of a Mexican restaurant. The beef and chicken fajitas are the best I've had here in Utah and their burritos are outstanding as well. Everyone I saw leaving had a doggy bag, and I needed one as well for the generous portion sizes they had helped me enjoy lunch for a couple days afterwards. Be sure to also try the Mexican Apple Soda - it was a delightful treat. The only real downside to this place is the cramped parking lot. Be sure to give yourself time to find parking.

Bin going to Mi Ranchito for years. Fantastic food and always excellent service.
This was a typical Mexican restaurant.It was OK. Not bad, but not great.The young waiter was friendly and efficient. The food was ok. I ordered the beef taco cheese enchilada combo. My husband, the wet burrito. He rated his an 8. I rated mine a 5.TV's mounted on the walls with telenovellos and Spanish news feed, spanish music playing. The decor was kitschy, bright primary colors straight from JT.If this is what you're looking for when dining Mexican food. You would love it. It isn't mine.

The service was excellent. Francesca served us and she was very attentive (and gorgeous) The food was good. We had the chicken/beaf nachos it was HUGE but the beaf and chicken was okay. They used whole vegetables but I'm not sure if the meat was processed. The refried Ice cream is highly recommendedVegetarian options: You must order it vegetarian, if you don't know that, you're probably new at this. It's ok, welcome to the meat-free par-ty.Dietary restrictions: Just communicate with your server, you're supposed to do that anyway.Parking: Get there early on a Friday.Kid-friendliness: They always take good care of our kids.Wheelchair accessibility: A ramp in the front, sitting space available at the tables.

The service here was fantastic; our waitress, i believe her name was Karla, was so sweet, and literally had the entire menu memorized. It was INSANELY impressive and super helpful because the menu is gigantic and I couldn't find what I was looking for. She knew, without looking, exactly what I wanted. I doubt everyone working there has that particular super power but hot damn that was cool. She said it's more helpful for both her and her customers who need help figuring out what they want.Anyway, the food was delicious, and my family enjoyed it quite a bit. I had a crispy chicken taco and a cheese enchilada and rice and beans, which were solid. Nothing crazy, just like good old fashioned comfort food, in a wonderfully colorful, traditional atmosphere which totally took me back to all my favorite Mexican food places in southern California. The prices were totally reasonable, too!! I will definitely be going back!

We enjoyed the food. I had a beef burrito, with plenty of shredded beef. My wife had tacos, and they had vinegar dressing on them, which is not her favorite. The chips and salsa are great! We ordered some shredded cheese with them.The service was friendly and very efficient. The only seating is on chairs, which are not as comfortable as booths but work and are probably easier to keep clean.It's definitely a favorite Mexican restaurant in the area.

Easily the best Mexican restaurant in Utah Valley. You get a lot of high quality food for the price. I recommend the Molcajete. It says feeds two, but you could totally feed 3 or 4 with how much food you get. The Horchata is also great. I have been here several times and each meal is authentic and flavorful.
