Discovering Mi Rancho was like finding a diamond in the rough. The strip that it's in doesn't face the road and you wouldn't expect anything to be back there, but what is there is my favorite Mexican food place in Oswego. The food is good, the folks who work there are lovely people, and they just added a buffet!
The buffet was an interesting new experience. They had Mexican standbys like beans, rice, mole, and fresh fruit, as well as stuff I wouldn't expect like taquitos and meatballs!

I'm telling you, this semi off the menu taco I the best around. Love it. Chips and salsa are always good and kept filled along with your drink. Save room for ice cream. Good food, nice staff with smiling faces, what more...
