La Casita Salina

We were craving some Mexican food and the place we had chosen was closed for dining so we looked up this place and gave it a shot. Sooooooooo glad we did!!! We were greeted promptly, seated promptly, and able to order promptly. We told the hostess this was our 1st time and she graciously welcomed us and informed us that we were able to get a free queso! (YESSSS) That was important to me because she didn't necessarily have to tell us that because we didn't know any different. I don't know what that queso had in it, but I want some RIGHT NOW as I type lol ANNNND the CHIPS...I think they are now the best chips that I personally have had. The beans that came with the Chimichanga meal was GREAT and flavorful, the rice was a tad dry and a little under seasoned, and the chimichanga was DELISH with alllll of the cheese and you could really taste the pecan in the meat. The grand finale was the fried ice cream y'all. Anyone that desires a good dessert especially if they have never had fried ice cream, don't even go if you don't try it. Seriously....WHOAAAAA lol. I'm in love and if I am EVER in this area again I most CERTAINLY will be returning.

My husband and I stayed the night in Salina. We decided to try out La Casita, a family owned Mexican restaurant. The exterior and interior decor is beautiful. Very inviting. Our server, Desiree, was tentative. We started with a small order of guacamole. It was bland, but good with more lime and salt. The hot sauce had a good flavor. I had a 25oz mango margarita. Big size for the price. It was delicious and boozy. We opted to share chicken and steak fajitas. The flavor was delicious. I would have preferred my meat cut into thinner strips. Veggies were cooked well to my liking. The skillet and sides were plenty for 2 to share. Towards the end of our visit, the owner, Paul Garcia, came over to chat. Very friendly man that took over his family's restaurant. We had a nice conversation. I will definitely come back if I'm in the area.

I drive all over as a trucker to include all the southwestern states you would expect great quality mexican food, sadly thats not always the case mostly sad phoning it in overpriced just passable cuisine so to find this gem in Kansas was a great surprise. I had shrimp fajitas and they were cooked to perfection with all the trimmings perfect as well. The service was attentive and friendly.
