Ranchito Cafe

Usually a fan of little local Mexican restaurants, even the less than stellar variety, but this was just an irredeemably bad restaurant experience. The food was awful and the service was non-existent. Started to eat the bad looking food hoping it tasted better than it looked, nope. Cold, near tasteless with a bit of gross wetness. Wet paper towel microwaving anyone? Picking at it disappointedly, I discovered corn tortillas rather than the flour tortillas the menu described. After the food was dropped off, no-one ever came back so I went to the counter and told them of the flour vs corn tortilla issue and the woman just said "yeah, sometimes she does that, anything else today?" and rung me up (from memory apparently). Will most definitely never be back.

An easy pass no matter how hungry you are. You want to pass this up. Called El Patron now. Stopped as I saw multiple vehicles there, hoping for a treat. Least authentic Mexican food I've ever had at a restaurant. Wasn't horrible nasty, but, school lunch-like is what I would call it. Ground beef with no seasoning? Top it off the place was horrendously filthy throughout. I just hope I survive it. Yes it's that bad. A big regret stopping here.

I drive 100 miles out of my way to eat here. The refried beans and salsa alone make the extra mikes worth it. I’ve found nothing like it in Colorado.

Went in alone, 1130a in a Tuesday, they weren't busy yet. I ordered the Specai, which was 2 enchiladas and 2 toastadas for $7.75. The waitresses were kind of slow and disorganized. Once my order was taken the food came out fast, looked good and tasted excellent. The price was reasonable. The inside is older and could use some updating.... newer tables and chairs etc. Overall a good experience. Definitely a local eatery worth supporting. I would eat here again...

Comfortable family style place that is big on competent service and great food. Came highly recommended and did not disappoint.
