I am the type of user that only comments or writes a review when I have something positive or interesting to say about a product or restaurant. Unfortunately, I have nothing good to say about Mi Ranchito. I found this restaurant on Google Maps while driving home from Pennsylvania. My girlfriend and I read the good reviews and decided to make this restaurant our choice for dinner. After our experience there, I wish we had it to do over again. We got our menus quickly, and were impressed with the wide selection. I have eaten at my fair share of Mexican restaurants up and down the Eastern seaboard (honest moment - Ive never been to Mexico to have real Mexican food, only to New Mexico) but I liked seeing some options that arent frequently on the menu at your generic Mexican restaurant. My girlfriend ordered the beef chimichangas and I ordered the combo fajitas. We were also brought an order of chips and salsa as an appetizer. My girlfriend and I both agreed - the salsa was inedible. It had no flavor, no consistency, no separation of textures - tomato juice tossed with taco seasoning in a bowl. Then our entrees arrived - a small portion of chicken, beef, onions, and peppers for me with a large plate of condiments and three tortillas, and two enormous chimichangas soaking in more of the tomato juice salsa for my girlfriend. My fajitas were passable (although I barely managed to stretch the meat to three tortillas), but my girlfriend only managed two bites of her entree. I tried a bite for myself - the meat filling tasted like the leftovers from a Hamburger Helper mistake and had the texture of cornmeal, while the salsa polluted what little flavor and passable texture was left. My girlfriend and I were both disgusted at this point, and quickly paid the bill and left. The number of positive reviews of this restaurant really makes me wonder - did we just pick the wrong night to come by? Did we pick the two worst possible entrees? We are really not difficult to please, and I dont take any pleasure in writing a negative review. However, I feel that there needs to be a warning to others passing through the area that are looking for a quick dinner. I took the reviews on tripadvisor and Google Maps into consideration, and made the decision - if only Id seen a review like the one Ive written, I wouldnt have wasted my time, money and appetite on Mi Ranchito.

We literally had to drag our 10 and 12 yr old in to eat here and then drag them out because they loved it (I told you so). If youre looking for upscale mexican this is not your place BUT or us casual diners it was better than good! The wait staff was friendly, the atmosphere casual and friendly, and the menu was wallet friendly. We all ended up sharing our meals. My 12 yr old, (typically picky) got the shrimp in cream sauce [a huge suprise for us] and devoured it. The final and simple but delicious complimentary dessert of fried tortilla with whipped cream and a cherry was fought over. NOTE! - the google map location is wrong.. it is located on the other side of rt 522 buen trabajo mi ranchito!!

This quaint little restaurant has a wonderful staff and the service is great. The food is authentic and so flavorful. People need to understand that each region of Mexico has different foods...thus what you may experience from cooks from one region may vary to the next. I love this place...and drive 70 miles round trip for the food...and to atmosphere....quiet...friendly....a real treat...

This was the starting point for my love of Mexican food. I never really was a fan until their chicken burritos and absolutely delicious homemade salsa opened my eyes to the real Mexican food Ive been missing out on. I freakin love this place. Its cheap and excellent food. Go here. Eat the food. Fill the belly with the delicious nom noms! I love you Mi Ranchito!!!!!!!!

We stopped here on our vacation and there were 4 adults and 3 kids and we all loved the food we ordered. The service was fast, very nice people and the price was right. If we ever go through Berkeley Springs again we will be stopping in!!!!

Not good. Basic Tex Mex. If they sold frozen Mexican at the Food Lion I would not go to this restaurant. I do better at home.
