Casa Mexico

Very nice spot. A bit hidden, so we passed it when looking for it. Atmosphere is awesome and the decor is great. Solid service, just enough to care, no upselling and definitely not hounding you while eat! (This is a huge pet peeve of mine) Food was delicious, will be going back soon. The tacos are A1, but that's just my opinion.

Food was very bland (IMO) and even though we called the day before we were never informed that we had to book to eat inside. They had us sitting in the patio outside on a hot summer day with no shade (no parasols were installed so we were literally sitting under the sun). The patio was also very uncomfortable since it’s literally next to a busy route and we felt too embarrassed to eat since we were the only ones outside. The decor was what draw us into the restaurant so It was a pity that we didn’t get to see any of it. Also the food portions were so disappointing compared to their prices. We felt kinda forgotten towards the end and one of us literally had to go inside to inform them that we were done. I understand that they could’ve been busy but pls don’t forget your customers. Anyways our waitress was really sweet whenever we got to talk to her so I don’t blame the staff much.

We made a reservation for dinner - it got quite busy and filled up as the evening went on so that may be something you want to do, too. Customer service was great, and the pricing was fair - not cheap, but not expensive. The decor was really nice, and the restaurant has a great intimate vibe. Go on a Friday evening - they have a Mariachi band that plays live music and it was a great addition to the experience. Most importantly, the food was great. We tried the enchiladas, a variety of tacos, a gordita, and some churros. You can tell that there was care given to each component of the dish (refried beans, vegetables, the tortillas, each sauce, etc.) and none of the ingredients were thrown in as a second thought. We will definitely be back!

Everything was great except the prices were quite steep for the portion sizes. Two small entrées, two small vegetarian soups and two juices came to about $80. Also it would be nice if the decor was more traditional Mexico (mariachi, baroque and surrealist painters, countryside or even mixed with modern Mexico etc) rather than a cliché cinco de mayo/día de los muertos fiesta theme.
