When people think of a festive Mexican dinner, the mind often jumps straight to a salt-rimmed Margarita. While we certainly love a good celebration, there is an entire world of traditional Mexican beverages that deserve a spot at your table. At Mi Ranchito Grill, our beverage menu is designed to do more than wash down your meal; it is curated to complement the bold, complex spices of our family recipes.
If you’re looking to elevate your dining experience truly, it’s time to look beyond the bar and explore the refreshing, authentic sips that have been staples in Mexican households for generations.
If your meal includes some of our spicier dishes—like the Chile Verde or our fiery Chiles Toreados—there is no better companion than a cold glass of Horchata.
This isn’t your average “milk” drink. Authentic Horchata is a traditional Agua Fresca made from rice, sweetened with sugar, and infused with the warm, aromatic scent of cinnamon. Its creamy texture and cooling properties act as a natural fire extinguisher for the palate, soothing the spice while adding a hint of dessert-like sweetness to your meal. It’s a favorite for kids and adults alike who want a smooth, comforting beverage that feels like a hug in a glass.
If you prefer something light, crisp, and vibrantly fruity, our Agua de Piña (Pineapple Water) is the ultimate refresher. Unlike a heavy juice, an Agua de Piña is blended and strained to create a light, hydrating drink that captures the pure essence of fresh pineapple.
This drink is the perfect partner for our seafood specialties, such as the Shrimp Ceviche or the Mojarra Frita. The natural acidity of the pineapple brightens the flavors of the fish, making every bite feel like a breezy afternoon on the coast of Mexico.
For those who want the “fancy glass” experience without the alcohol, our Specialty Drinks section offers elevated flavors that feel like a treat.
Sometimes, you want the classics. We offer a full range of Soft Drinks, including Coke, Sprite, and Fanta, which provide that familiar carbonated “zip” to cut through a rich, cheesy Burrito El Supremo.
For the adults looking for a savory kick, don’t overlook our Michelada. It’s a bold, traditional preparation using Clamato, fresh lime juice, salt, and a drop of Tabasco. It’s essentially a savory “beer cocktail” that is the undisputed king of brunch pairings, especially when enjoyed alongside our Menudo or Birria on Saturdays and Sundays.
The next time you visit us, we invite you to step outside your comfort zone. Swap your usual soda for a house-made Horchata, or cool down from a sizzling Parrillada with a frosty Strawberry Daiquiri.
Traditional Mexican drinks are designed to be part of the meal, not just an afterthought. They balance the salt, soothe the spice, and bring a touch of sweetness to your meal.
