Mi Ranchito is the newest establishment to occupy that revolving door of Mexican restaurants a block away from Mad Mex. Before Ranchito, there was the BYOB La Fiesta. This new restaurant, which now features a full bar is a step up. I went there this past Monday evening to watch the Steelers MNF game against the Denver Broncos. Perhaps the glorious win may be clouding my judgment of this inviting Mexican cantina that literally translates to "My Hut," but let's hope not.
Monday nights have $3 margaritas in the classic flavor, as well as raspberry, strawberry, and even peach. They are certainly not on the same level as Mad Mex's "Big Azz" variety, but what Ranchito lacks in tequila consumption they make up in atmosphere - the owners attempt to maintain a certain authenticity to the bar with complementary chips and salsa on the bar.
There is only one TV placed at the end of the long side of the bar (see picture), which made for some mildly awkward neck-straining, but not enough to seriously disrupt the Steelers mojo that flowed through the friendly patrons as freely as the tequila. There are only about four beers on tap although about twenty in bottles. Domestics are $2.50 and imports are $3.50.If you're trying to get away from the incessantly pounding music and stumbling clientele, try Mi Ranchito for a more low-key bar stop.
