Mi Ranchito Express — Restaurant in New London

Wow, so glad I found this place. I'm visiting from San Diego and missed my Mexican food. After 40+ yrs of enjoying real Mexican, this was THE BEST carne asada burrito I've ever had. I know I know, who'd a thought in New London!? The flavors, umm. Tasty goat cheese and very flavorful herbs and spices and sauce and beans and rice, and the carne was grilled to perfection.

But the rest I’ve tried is not...

The last few times I have ordered their shrimp in their shrimp tacos have gotten 10 times smaller and much less shrimp than when they opened. $16.00 for 3 shrimp tacos is alot; make it worth it. The consistency of cooking style depending on which day it is varies widely. I’ve had really flavorful empanadas one day and my next order is bland and dry. I’ve spent alot of money going there but honestly it’s just not worth it anymore. Sad because the food can be...
