Mi Rancho Meat Market

Best bang for your buck lunch or dinner in town. No way you can go wrong with $1 tacos. Excellent prices on the meat to take home and make your own as well.

Earlier in the year my husband and I tried out Mi Rancho Meat Market for lunch. This place is truly a hidden gem. Amongst other things, they sell $1 tacos and they are the absolute bomb! We came back again with our daughter recently. On our table we had tortilla chips, several meat tacos, a couple of Vegetarian tacos, a cheese quesadilla and a bottle of horchata.

Tortilla chips: Last time we came here they brought a complimentary basket of tortilla chips to our table, along with some salsa to dip it in. They were warm, crisp and sooooo good! We were given complimentary tortilla chips again, but this time the basket was already on our table when we sat down. Not so warm as last time, but still crispy and delicious; I really can't complain when it's free.

Tacos: My husband had the meat tacos, while our daughter and I shared a couple of Vegetarian tacos and a cheese quesadilla. Our daughter is still something of a picky eater, so I told her that if she wanted to order a cheese quesadilla (which is pretty much the only thing she ever orders when we eat Mexican food) then she would have to share the quesadilla with me and eat one of the Vegetarian tacos. Done deal, and she ended up loving the taco! They put these white beans into the tacos and I don't know what they do to those beans but they are pure bliss!

Cheese quesadilla: This is one of those dishes that's kinda hard to mess up. Basically a Mexican version of a grilled cheese sandwich. If you love cheese, then this dish is for you!  I have a much more diverse taste palate than my picky eater, but I do also love simple, tasty, ooey gooey cheese dishes. I was happy to be able to take part in eating the Cheese quesadilla!

Horchata: We just drank plain water last time, so this was our first time ordering drinks here. The drinks are kept in a small fridge, and it's a self-serve system. You just pick your drink from the fridge and the server will add it to the bill when they see which drinks you have on your table. I'd never had Horchata from a bottle before. In fact, I'd never even seen it in a bottle before. I used to think it was something that always had to be made on the spot at Mexican restaurants. Maybe I've been drinking bottled Horchata all along without even knowing it. I suppose it's always possible that they just pull out a bottle back in the kitchen and pour it into a glass with me being none the wiser for it! The Horchata was tasty as it always is. I havn't had an Horchata that I didn't like.

Service: Fair
Parking: Plentiful and free!
Location: About 8 minutes drive from Bellis Fair mall, so while it's not really close to any major attractions, it's not far to get to either.

Great Mexican food at an unbeatable price. Never seen $1 tacos before, and they're actually really good.

Me and my partner absolutely LOVE Mi Rancho and usually go there for lunch weekly! It's extremely affordable with great portion sizes, and is always super consistently delicious! The meat options are all fantastic but the asada definitely wins as my favorite.

Who could say no to a GOOD $1 taco? Definitely recommend! 🌮💕
