Evan took care of us and was outstanding. We ran into a small issue during the visit, and Darius, the manager, stepped in and resolved it quickly. That kind of follow-through is what makes me comfortable coming back. The food was great across the board, but the standout was the Pokita: sushi-grade tuna poke done Mexican style, with green rice, kimchi, pickled ginger, avocado crema, a soy glaze, salsa seca, and micro cilantro. The tuna was fresh, and the kimchi, ginger, and salsa seca gave it heat, acid, and crunch against the creamy avocado. It was our favorite thing on the table, and I'd order it again. Save room for dessert. They were all excellent, and the cheesecake was especially light, not the heavy, dense kind that stops you after three bites. Good happy hour, strong service, and a kitchen that's doing something interesting. I'll be back. read more

Couldn't wait to check out this New Mexican spot in the old salty iguana space. The decor was beautiful. Staff friendly. Service prompt. Food: mostly good. We popped in on a Saturday with no reservation. It was busy but we were able to be seated immediately. The dining room is large - so that worked in our favor. This place was fully staffed with young people. Water glass always filled. Food runners - so food came out at the proper temperature. Everything was on point. While we were reviewing the menu, our server brought out chips and salsa. The chips were light, crispy, salty and WARM! The salsa was chunky and tomatoey. It was very mild, smoky and slightly sweet. I asked for spicy salsa. And what she brought out tasted like the mild just not sweet. She also brought out Valentina hot sauce. For beverages, I started with a margarita. It was yummy. Then moved to apps or pimeros. The papas bravas (potatoes) were good. Not spicy but decent flavor. We also ordered the queso. It was very creamy and super cheesy. Lactose intolerant folks beware. I wanted to try everything on the menu because everything sounded delish. GF tortillas, vegetarian and vegan options. They serve Yoli tortillas. IYKYK. My dinner companion ordered the shrimp tacos. She said they were a bit bland but were filled with big juicy shrimp. I ordered the garlic lime shrimp fajitas. They bring out a small cauldron, light the inside and amazingly it keeps the fajitas hot. The fajitas included lots of red peppers and onions, mild cheese and of course shrimp. My shrimp were also big and juicy. But the entree was very mild in flavor. The menu is mostly ala cart - sides are separate for the entrees and tacos . But the menu has lot a variety- salads, soups, ceviche and other raw items, brunch with traditional Mexican items like chilaquiles and burritos. They also have a small kids menu. We had no room for dessert. I filled up on chips! I will come back to try other menu items. They also have a Happy Hour which also sounds good. read more

I've been stoked to try Casa Ama because I'm a fan of Billies Grocery. The idea is Modern Mexican with an emphasis on some coastal options. First off, the place is adorable inside and the staff is fabulous and attentive. We went for a late lunch and happened to land right at the beginning of their Daily Happy Hour (2-5pm.) Their happy hour food and beverage menu is pretty reasonably priced. We tried some of the oysters ($3 during happy hour), the white bean dip with birria and some tacos ($5 during happy hour.) They're also kind to give you complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were perfect, but the salsa needs some work (a *very* mild chipotle.) I think the salsa was kinda of thematically what I found a little bit lacking with the food overall. Things needed more spice, more flavor and more acid. Things felt a bit muted and relied on a cheese that needed more tang. It kind of feels like someone created food having never visited Mexico. The best things I ate here was anything seafood related -- the oysters and Shrimp Tacos. I thought the white bean dip with Birria was a fun concept and presented in a fun way-- but lacked depth or anything making me want to take a second bite. The three tacos I tried were the Smashed Chicken Caesar, an off Menu Shrimp Taco that our waitress recommended and a Carne Asada taco. First off the tacos were huge and I only needed two. Three was a little overkill. The best of the bunch was the Shrimp Taco. I loved the flour tortillas they used (but I would like to have a corn option on a few tacos.) The smashed Caesar needed both more protein and more acid. The carne asada was just kinda dull and relied too much on cheese (that lacked a typical bite you'd find in Mexican cheese.) I wish it had a different salsa. I think having some sort of salsa verde option would help some of the menu items and brighten them up! I very much enjoyed my mango tea too and loved how it wasn't sweet. I would go back to try other menu items or visit during happy hour. Please pump up the acid and depth of flavor. Having alternative salsas would also be welcome! read more

Tried this out since the bae wanted to check it out and it was just OK. While I get and appreciate the idea of a modern Mexican concept, there are execution issues with the food. To start, we had the white bean hummus with birria served with tortillas. Very cool idea but it was missing something that tied everything together. Then, we had three tacos: chicken caesar smash, shrimp and ribeye. Shrimp was my favorite. The wood-fire grill flavor of it was so well done. I do wish it was paired with some lime to give some acidity to it. The ribeye next and the chicken caesar smash was my least favorite. If you're gonna go all in with that, give me a caesar dressing as a sauce. Also, not everything needs to have cheese. Cheese is great but it can detract from the the flavors of proteins. Please, if you're going to have a Mexican restaurant, have more than one salsa. At minimum two. Give me a verde! Oysters were delicious and one of the highlights. Overall, just the flavors across the board needed some oomph especially with prices they're charging. Not surprising given the neighborhood. Service was great and friendly and the space is pretty. I'm not clamoring to go back right away when Kansas City has so many better places serving Mexican cuisine. That doesn't mean I'm not willing to try the other dishes on the menu. Happy eating and remember: Don't deny, satisfy! read more

What a delightful and fresh take on Mexican cuisine! I am blown away by the food, drinks, prices, and service at Casa Ama. First, our server was prompt, friendly, and efficient. The margarita was one of the best I've ever had, as were the chips and salsa. I was astonished at how quickly our food arrived after ordering during a busy dinner service. Once our plates were set, we were all in heaven. The shrimp ceviche was to die for. Paired with homemade rice crisps and fresh ingredients it was truly something special. I honestly wasn't expecting much from the mushroom tacos but YOWSA they were phenomenal. Flavorful, plentiful, and with the perfect amount of spice-This dish is not just for vegetarians. Everyone at our table was so impressed! We cannot wait to experience more from this welcome new addition to Prairie Villiage! read more

You have to get their Street Corn Caesar Salad. It's so good!!! This has a great patio and vibe. I got a coconut mocktail and it was refreshing. Our server was young, but nice. Salsa was good and loved the fajita presentation. I'll be back for sure! read more

We had a very nice meal on the patio, with great service and a fun twist on some of the more standard Mexican food dishes. The yellowtail ceviche was probably my favorite dish - it was in more of a cilantro cream sauce so it didn't feel like a traditional ceviche, but it was very good. The margarita was excellent too. The birria bowl was solid but could have used a verde salsa or something to give it a little more flavor. The queso was baked with sweet grilled onions, which some people will love but for me didn't top the boring old white queso I'm used to. Overall though, this was a great meal and I'll happily come back. read more

Casa Ama is such a great addition to the Corinth community. The space was previously salty iguana and got a total revamp inside with bright colors and an open concept with a bar and happy hour from 2-5 pm. Our server was quick to get us seated without a reservation on a week night and offered great suggestions towards the drink menu. I got the coconut margarita to start and enjoyed how refreshing it was on a hot day. The chips and salsa came out and were fresh. The chips were warm and perfectly crisp to go with. As my main meal, I got the chicken bowl which came with tortillas and rice (not pictured) the chicken was a little over cooked for my liking and did not have as good of a flavor profile as I would have liked. The mole sauce was very heavy on the ginger which made it almost too over powering. I would like to go back and try more of their small plates in the future! read more

To step into Casa in Corinth Square is to be transported instantly from the mundane, whisked away to the refined, vibrant heart of Mexico City. It feels as though a singular, celebrated Michelin-starred sanctuary has been plucked from a sun-drenched five-star hotel terrace and set down perfectly in our own backyard. Every bite resonates with an artistry that defies the expected, achieving a level of culinary elevation that stands entirely on its own. Even following a month-long odyssey across the majestic landscapes of the Western United States, where I sought out the finest flavors, the experience here was a profound revelation. I surrendered completely to the menu, journeying through every single offering, and was left utterly breathless by the cohesion, the depth, and the sheer brilliance of the craft. It is rare to find a kitchen that executes with such relentless precision while maintaining an soul-stirring warmth. The visionary at the helm, Robin, is a true master of her domain. Her approach to food is a masterclass in clean, intentional living, proving that true luxury lies in the purity of ingredients and the intelligence behind the plate. Her mind is a brilliant engine of creativity, and it is a privilege to witness her vision brought so vividly to life. She knows her craft with an instinctual, sharp intelligence that commands respect and inspires absolute devotion. The atmosphere is further elevated by the grace of the service, particularly Henry, who embodies a sweetness and kindness that is as rare as it is genuine. He moves through the space with an effortless warmth, ensuring that every guest feels cared for, welcomed, and profoundly important. Casa is not merely a restaurant; it is a testament to passion, vision, and the pursuit of excellence. It is, quite simply, an absolute triumph. read more

Casa Ama - so meta - Bars Near Me - Prairie Village, Kansas

I'm really sad to leave a bad review about this place but honestly the only good thing about it was the service in mine and my husband's experience. Initially we ordered street corn and queso. I'm a lifetime street corn lover and what i ordered was downright inedible. It looked fancy but the flavor was like odorous and made me nauseous. The cheese was okay but nothing special for 11 dollars. we ordered birria bowl and shaved ribeye for our entrees. they gave him about 3 spoonfuls of birria, overpriced, low portion, and it tasted extremely acidic and dry. the ribeye was the best thing there and it was still dry. Bill was 65 dollars before tip for inedible food. read more

Great vibes here!! Sat on the patio and it was a great ambiance. The pineapple jalapeno marg is my new hyperfixation, it was soooo yummy. Queso was really good and almost cream cheesy. Fajitas could've used a bit more flavor, but great vibe & will be back to try more things on the menu! read more

Love, love, loved our experience. The food was amazing. Loved the options and the flexibility to change things up. Our server could not have been better. She was on her game. Friendly, helpful, great suggestions, proactive-noticed if we were missing anything, drinks getting low, etc. If you go, I hope you get Mia as your server. She made the entire night even better. Could not recommend this place more! read more

We stopped in during their first week of being open and were really impressed. The complimentary chips and salsa were a great start, and the queso was absolutely excellent. The birria was the standout for me--tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with notes of cinnamon and cumin that gave it a rich, authentic taste. I also appreciated that it came with tortillas on the side so you could build your own tacos, which was a nice touch. The portion sizes were generous and offered great value for the price. Service was friendly and attentive, especially considering they're still in their opening week. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend giving them a try. We'll definitely be back! read more

The vibe and atmosphere here is very fun and refreshing to the area. The service was decent and I will say the chips and queso were awesome. I had the birria bowl which I found to be pretty dry, needs a salsa or sauce on it to make it better. Also thought it was a bit overpriced for the quality of the food I ate. Would maybe come back to try something else here read more

We ate there yesterday for my birthday lunch. I was so looking forward to trying this restaurant. We were seated on the patio per our request and brought out chips (mostly broken little pieces) & salsa. We ordered a couple spicy margaritas and our server told us it might be a bit because the bartender was very busy. Ok. The salsa was good and it didn't take too long to get the margaritas. They were nice & spicy. We ordered the White Bean Hummus w/Birria as an appetizer. For our lunch my husband ordered chicken fajitas and I ordered shrimp fajitas. Our appetizer came out, looked delicious and likely messy to eat. We had to ask for appetizer plates so that we wouldn't drip everywhere. We got our plates and each had taken a couple bites (the dip was delicious) when a different server brought our tortillas & said the fajitas were on their way out. Maybe it's just me but I like to enjoy more than two bites of an appetizer. I told the server we had just started our appetizer and that I was irritated our mains were coming out so soon. He said he would talk to the manager. The manager came out to talk to us and he apologized and said they would remake our fajitas when we were ready ( I thought this was great.). He came back a little bit later when we were about 3/4 through the app and asked if we were ready for them to prepare the fajitas which we were. Shortly afterwards, the fajitas were brought out on the cast iron serving dishes with no sizzle whatsoever. I wish I had taken a picture because both skillets had this congealed glob of chihuahua/jack cheese that was inedible. The veggies were nicely grilled but both my husband's chicken & my shrimp were dried out. Based on the meat & cheese, we really wondered if they actually did remake our lunch or if the original was just put under a warming lamp. Really disappointed in the fajitas and we probably won't be back given there are so many other excellent Mexican restaurant options to choose from in the area. read more

Great spot. Service was great and the food is good. Very clean and good lighting. A great addition to to Prairie Village.

I liked the cheerfulness of the light bright newly remodeled space. However, it was hard to carry on a conversation because of the noise. I was so excited to try the chicken mole but it was very disappointing.Didn't like the taste of the chicken or the mole. I will not be a repeat customer. read more

Hard pass. Long wait. Loud dining room. The food was bland and dry. The server described the chicken smash tacos as grilled chicken, but it was a weird ground chicken patty. read more

Casa Ama is from the owner of Billie's Grocery. Robin excels at all she does! I had the pastor fajitas and also enjoyed cold water oysters. They were the best fajitas I've ever had. The atmosphere is delightful and instagram worthy. I'll be going back many times! read more

We had to wait 45 min when the estimated time was 25 min. When sat it took a while for even the water to come, and it was warm. The food and the margaritas were not great but the server was at least nice. read more

So so...kind of disappointing. Margaritas were way too sweet. Service was good. Pretty bar but still looked like a strip mall place. No ambiance. Good price point. The walking fritos nachos were not good but others liked the tacos. Probably not a place for us. Sigh read more

The ambiance was great and so was the service. However the food was super spicy. Ordering the mushroom/tofu tacos, our mouthed were on fire with no warning. I feel there should be a "hot pepper" icon on the menu to warn people or provide a less spicy option. That was really disappointing, also with the extra salty queso. If those can be adjusted, I'd recommend it without a doubt! The drinks were excellent too! read more

Amazing food and great service. I had the carne asada fajitas- so good! We started with guacamole which came with some pickled vegetables- great as well. The space is decorated nicely and has a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Tried Casa tonight. Atmosphere was great, service was good and it had an interesting and unique menu. We tried the queso, a hamachi crudo, mole chicken, pork belly noodle salad and the beef tacos. Everything was just fine...all the dishes needed more depth and layers of flavor. A little more salt, more acid just more flavor overall. I fully understand that this style of food is cleaner with less "crap" like Billie's Grocery which I appreciate and love but it still lacks that "wow this is great" factor. read more
