If you’re in the mood for Mexican and you're around the Mar Vista/Culver City/Venice area, skip Paco’s Tacos, Tito's Tacos, La Cabanita, and Casablanca entirely. Who needs the brunch and dinner lines for some mediocre chips, watery margaritas, and fatty, greasy plates with half-hearted veggies? Go straight to Mi Ranchito, the less-known gem of a Mar Vista restaurant on Washington Blvd by Centinela. The staff is exceptionally friendly, the decor is like sitting in the middle of Christmas (but not tacky – there’s a fine line, and Mi Ranchito is on one side, Paco’s Tacos is on the other side…), and the food is completely delicious – and cheaper than their competitors. Order the Abondigas soup - it's like heaven in your mouth, even on a hot day - any taco combination, any burrito – order anything and you won’t be disappointed. If you like your Mexican food real like it was cooked by your Mexican mom, with no frills, unnecessary flares, or other extras, Mi Ranchito is your place.

Mi Ranchito, 12223 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
