Taqueria Mi Rancho — Restaurant in Kenner

Updated: We decided to return to Taqueria Mi Rancho and it appears the bad apple no longer works there. The women who runs it is incredible and the food is so delicious. I am so glad they remedied the situation.

I really wanted to give this place five stars because the food was so delicious, but after seeing our experience wasn’t an isolated incident I wanted to share in hopes the owner would see the issue at hand. Two weeks ago My fiancé and I ordered the Birria tacos with two cokes and a side of Al Pastor at 6pm, Not only was the waitress rude saying she was closed despite the sign saying they didn’t close until 7pm, she also charged us $70 and we didn’t get our tacos, just two orders of Birria. She hurried us out of there so we did not get a chance to check our order before we left and we’re not given a receipt to prove otherwise, the prices on the menu and online do not match the price she charged us, the meal should have been under $40, instead we walked out paying over $70 plus tip. The food tasted delicious and we really wish we could continue to support this small business, but being ripped off is unacceptable and where we...

Stopped in at dinner time on a Sunday night. It's a small place decorated festival & colorful. The server let us know we could chose our own seats as she brought over the menu and gave some details and took our drink orders. When she came back with our drinks she took our food orders. We ordered chips & salsa (extra charge) to nibble on while we waited. It felt like no time at all when she came out with our food. Hubby ordered the steak tacos, they came 4 on the plate. I got the grilled shrimp plate it came with refried beans, yellow rice, pico, lettuce, and strips of grilled peppers & onions, and 2 homemade tortillas. She also brought out a bottle of lime crema, watch out it has a kick. Hubby thought the chopped steak was tender & well seasoned. I loved the grilled shrimp! Plump tender buttery perfectly cooked. That is so hard to find. I judge a restaurant on grilled shrimp and grilled chicken. Everything you need to know is in that first bite. I even enjoyed the rice. This place is small and quiet but they deserve more attention. Will be...

We live in Houston, TX but Went here a couple of weeks ago when we were visiting my family in kenner. I have to say upon first bite it became my favorite tacos of all time. And living in Houston I've eaten my fair share of tacos. These were unbelievable!!! Can't wait till my next visit so I can eat here again. 5 Star!!!

Edit: Went here again July 3, 2021 during our last visit to NOLA. Tried the tacos again and they were amazing. Also tried the birria this time and didn't disappoint. My wife and I love it here. One of our must go to places when we're in town. And the family that works there are very nice.

Update: Aug 12, 2023. It's been a while since we've been back. Still great food and great service!! Even tried their tamales this time freshly made and it was tasty!! On the Spicy side but...
