La Rancherita Mexican Restaurant

We've been here several times and are never disappointed. The crisp, warm chips with salsa are a great snack while perusing the vast menu. Not just standard fare, these Mexican dishes are more authentic and made from fresh ingredients. The plantain stuffed with steak and carne asada platter are outstanding. And tonight we split a shaker of Mango Berry Margarita as a splurge and loved it!
Great, fast service and a nice setting. Worth the drive any time.

Great food! And the margaritas are fantastic. Would definitely come back. I recommend trying one of the signature burritos.

Very colorful place that is nice for dining in. Waitress was very friendly and polite but they could not get my son's food right. He ordered a specific burrito from the menu that had beans rice and salsa and got a burrito chock-full of onions and peppers which he dislikes. He pointed out to the waitress what he had ordered and showed her the ingredients that were posted right in the menu that he wanted. She apologized profusely and soon came out with a burrito for him that was chock-full of cauliflower and broccoli. This was not on the menu nor did he ask for it. I told him I think that there is a mother in the back who wants him to eat his vegetables. But this was a very strange experience. Oh he also got his burrito with slaw when he had asked for fries. No idea what's going on in the back of this restaurant or if they can read the tickets. My food was done right and was delicious. And my son did enjoy his burrito despite all the confusion.

One of my favorite places in Raleigh for Mexican fare.. Heavy handed margaritas are always in fashion and the table side guacamole is a must.. friendly and timely staff .tons of parking and convenient location on Six Forks. Tons of new places popping in and out don't overlook this place

Good food here. They have modernized the menu with lots of interesting things, although clearly borrowing ideas from other places. They put their own spin on one dish and while a good effort, it fell short of the original a couple of miles away. The tacos look really good! Worth stopping in for a quick meal.
