"Casa Blanca Review - Bradenton, FL My friends and I were riding around Bradenton late in the evening looking for a place to eat, and Casa Blanca came recommended. It turned out to be a lively spot with plenty of energy. Atmosphere The vibe was festive and upbeat, with music pumping and a full dining room. Despite the crowd, our wait time was surprisingly short. We were seated at a high‑top half‑booth facing the bar and the rest of the restaurant, which gave us a great view without being stuck in a walkway. Overall, a fun and inviting environment. Service Service was a bit hit‑or‑miss. Our server seemed rushed from the start and didn't ask whether it was our first visit. She repeatedly asked if we were ready to order, and when we said we needed more time, she simply walked away. Once we did order, the food runner brought our appetizer without plates, and we had to request both plates and the chips that were supposed to accompany the dip. Nothing terrible, but definitely room for improvement.Food Texas Dip - $16.50 Cheese dip mixed with shrimp, chicken, steak, pico de gallo, and your choice of chips or tortillas. This was the standout dish for me--rich, flavorful, and satisfying. Enchiladas Supreme - $21.00 Four enchiladas: chicken, ground beef, shredded beef, and cheese, topped with sour cream, lettuce, and pico de gallo. The enchiladas were flavorful with a noticeable spice kick. Good overall, though I preferred the Texas Dip. Overall Value Casa Blanca offers a lively atmosphere and flavorful food, especially the Texas Dip. While the service could be more attentive, the overall experience was enjoyable. I'd return for the food and ambiance, especially for a late‑night bite. read more

Overpriced for what you get. We are visiting from Miami, FL, and were really looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately, the quality of the food did not meet our expectations at all, especially for the price point. The flavors were underwhelming and not what we were hoping for. Drinks were okay, nothing special. The service also fell short--slow and not very attentive, which made the overall experience even less enjoyable. It seems like a nice spot and could easily be a go-to place, but the pricing just isn't realistic. Paying around $100 for something as simple as quesadillas and fajitas is hard to justify. We really wanted to like it, but the experience didn't match the cost. Unfortunately, we will not be visiting again. read more

Worst service I have ever had. We were rushed to order entrees. Our drinks sat at the well for over 10 mins, so they were completely melted when they hit the table. We ordered the molcajete azteca ($45) with no onions, no beans, and add tortillas. It came out with a large onion bulb, a side of beans, and no tortillas. The server did not apologize and said "can you just pick out the onion or do we need to remake it". No refills on waters. Honestly the MOST annoying thing was she never pre-bussed the table through out the night. The dirty dishes from the appetizers were still on the table when we were eating our entrees. I had to ask her to clear some plates and she took a plate so aggressively that her arm knocked the food off my friends fork. Again, no apology. The dining room plays very loud music and the tables are too close to each other. The only good thing was the food tasted good when it came out right, but even that can't cover up a terrible server. I have worked in this industry before, so I thought maybe she was new, which is forgivable. However, it was clear she just had a bad personality. This was on 9/11 at around 8:30pm. We sat to the left of the dining room when you first walk in. I am sure she complained about us leaving her a $0 tip, but I can't pay for unapologetically bad service like that. read more

Wow. Went for lunch and both adults & kids enjoyed their meal. Chips were fresh, warm, and flavorful, paired with green salsa that was spectacular. Enchiladas suizas & chile rellenos for adults, both well executed and just a little unique in flavor and presentation that it was a nice changeup from the norm. Kids menu was robust (8 options?) and acceptably priced at $8.50. Kids taco & burrito combo were more like adult portions (and presentation), which was fine by us. We went Sunday lunch and were seated immediately with quick service. Interior was gorgeous and would definitely be a fun evening out. Shocked to see low reviews for this place, but maybe others were experiencing early opening issues. A+ will return. read more

We are so happy to find this gem. Service is friendly. The restaurant is beautiful and has a big screen showing the Swiss alps when we were there. Drinks are good but very pricey. Their house margarita was small and$15. The chips are homemade and comes with salsa and avocado dip. We ordered cheese dip also. The menu is fusion. They have bowls, burritos, and other specials. My wife got the lentil soup that was delicious. I got a cheese steak burrito. I got their hot sauce and added it. It was very good. Prices are moderate but good food. read more

Good was just, meh. OMG nachos are not really nachos. More like tostones, with individual chips. Came out cold. Way too expensive for the 8/9 individual "chips" that came out; $17. Not much flavor, IMO. Jalapeños aren't spicy at all. Tastes like pickles. What's the point? Chips and salsa are just ok. Salsa was good, but can use a little more heat. Guac salsa was good. Beer was cold. Atmosphere is AWESOME! They did a beautiful job decorating! Vibe is great! Lots of tv's! Service was great! Raquel and Kevin were very nice and attentive! But for the prices of food, they will have to step up their game on flavor (I'm Hispanic from Denver so I think I can comment on this) We'll come back and try other dishes, but for this first time, 3 stars. I'll come back for a new review when I try more food. read more

This by far is the nicest Mexican restaurant in Bradenton. The menu have a variety of options and offers a unique spin on some of the usual items that every other local Mexican restaurant offers. The food was presented nicely but nothing tastes good. The sauces were bland, the protein was over cooked the burnt my taco shells and there is nothing worst than taking that first sip of margarita and you get a mouth full of salt when you ordered a sugar rim. I sent the drink back they gave me a new glass with a sugar rim but the same ol salty margarita. The drinks are not cheap but they are nicely presented. The staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is amazing. It is a fun, high energy upbeat spot but I don't see a reason to go back since the food or drinks appeased my pallet. read more

I am so impressed with Casa Blanca! From the moment you walk in, the energy is high-vibe and welcoming. The architecture and design are absolutely beautiful -- you can tell so much intention went into creating the space. The music sets the perfect mood and makes the whole experience feel elevated and fun. The salsa is incredible -- fresh, flavorful, and addictive. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite feels thoughtfully prepared, and it's truly worth every penny. Bradenton needed a spot like this. The atmosphere alone makes you want to stay awhile. So grateful I found this place -- I'll definitely be back! read more

This place felt like I was at a party the whole time. Friendly service. Great music. Awesome food. Needless the say the vibes were endless and we truly enjoyed popping in here for dinner. We live in Texas and this place gives every place I'm used to a run for their money. We're here just visiting but we seriously will come back for dinner again instead of trying some place else. BIG recommend. read more

This place had potential with all the bottles of Clase Azul on display which is one of my two fave tequilas. But it was terrible. Service at the bar was incredibly slow despite only 8 people seated. Took almost 10 min just to get a menu, and almost another 10 to place an order. And no smiles either...like we were all a burden to the staff and/or they didn't want to be there serving customers. I ordered the Texas Dip, and it was awful. Attached are videos of what they consider to be "cheese dip." Watch the video and you decide. I know someone who has had a good meal here, but there are too many good places to eat where it isn't a crap shoot whether the food and experience will be good or not. read more

Very disappointed. The food was overpriced and the quality didn't match the price at all. The flavors were bland and the portions were small. Definitely not worth the money. The drinks were boozy and lacked flavor. read more

We really enjoyed our lunch! Our server was warm and prompt, starting us with homemade chips with two kinds of salsa. For our lunches, we ordered one of the enchilada dishes and the shrimp ajo. Both were delicious with thoughtful, colorful presentations. We especially appreciated perfectly cooked meats, flavorful sauces, and overall good food. Not to mention the vibe was impeccable with elegant decor and furnishings. The greenery was especially pretty. Literally the only thing we noticed was that the enchilada sauce was a touch salty, but the black beans were perfect and that's my barometer for a good restaurant. We will be back. read more

Ahh so so only Well, I was dying to try Casa Blanca. We did yesterday wasn't too busy. Food was just OK. Very very small portions hardly any meat in the tacos which I ordered. HUSBAND had shrimp tacos again hardly anything in there most Mexican restaurants give you chips and salsa you have to pay for them here they were kind hard tasting. We love Mexican food and go to various restaurants and this is one of our least favorites now, really we're looking forward to liking the place but very expensive not worth the time to go really, and it was not decorated like Mexico to me at all. They look more like a sports bar with big TVs all around it and Loud. Service was OK. So we won't be back. read more

Came for lunch. We are from Texas and have a high bar for Mexican food. Great service, beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. Had the Grande grilled chicken burrito. Loaded with nicely seasoned chicken. Will return! read more

Casa Blanca - Lunch Grande Grilled Chicken Burrito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

Nice atmosphere, however the service is slow but may be due to recent opening and new staff getting used to everything. The food is mediocre for Mexican food. Price is average when the bill came I noticed that they were charging a cash vs non cash price...as a business owner this makes me mad. Passing off business expenses to the customer has gotten out of hand. If it was a small mom and pop establishment I understand as things can be tight for them but this is an over reach and unfortunately I will not come back. The difference in the two prices is most certainly way more than the cost of the CC processing fee. What a scam. read more

We asked for a serving of 11 of our members, 15 showed up so we were immediately concerned that one server could keep up with orders. Yeilin started taking our orders and we were amazed at her ability to get orders right and served us quickly and correctly. All of us complemented the service and taste of Mexico food. The place was clean and our table faces a wall-sized TV screen where we watched the FIFA competitions. I highly recommend this restaurant in a good location. read more

My Flaka Margherita was a 10/10. I ordered the lunch #1 which was disappointing. My taco was soggy, it fell apart. The chilli was like soup inside a pepper, disappointing . We had to pay for chips and salsa at a Hispanic restaurant which is weird to me. The decor and atmosphere was lovely. The waiter I believe did his best to serve our large group of 12 but missed the mark. Its new so I don't mind if the waiter isn't perfect. Didn't check in with us often enough, skipped over people when take drink orders but he was somewhat nice. Would I go back, for drinks yes for food no. And what's with the dessert thing on the side? That throws off the whole look of the place. If you want a nice place to have a great drink, go. The food is overpriced and not worth the price. Oh and small portions. Oh oh oh and the weirdest thing was listening to throwback music instead of Latin music. read more

What a joke Lunch chimichanga - I've seen flautas fatter than that! This place is a joke. Service is terrible. Food is good but the portions come on people it's Mexican food the cheapest food to make and they're cheap and I hope they go out of business so I don't have to share my town with them. read more

The restaurant is so beautiful, the service is great and the food is a really good. We had fajitas and a chimichanga. The salsa and chips were really good and the lunch prices good. Overall, had a great lunch! read more

Service was great! I loved everything except people at my table complained it was to loud. Everything thing was beautiful !!!

it is so loud we left. this was the second time we went (always give it a second chance) and it was the same. very loud and overpriced. don't go unless you like very loud music and over priced mediocre food read more

We love the food and atmosphere. We visit regularly. The owner is always present and attentive.

I kept reading reviews of how the food was so good... well, I might be really picky when it comes to Mexican food, but I like flavor! The Cho's & salsa were pretty good. Just because the food is a little spicy doesn't mean that it tastes like Mexican food. The atmosphere is beautiful, service was so-so, but if I was eating with a blindfold, I would've had no idea what I was eating- the enchiladas were chewy and bland. There is no way I would ever come back here. read more

Just left Casa Blanca. Beautiful restaurant. Very clean and excellent service. Food was delicious. Fresh and light. Full of flavor. A bit pricey but overall worth it. Joselito was an excellent server. We'll be back for sure! read more

Stopped by after a trip to bed, bath and beyond (actually Lowe's) if you know you know! Food was fantastic and the service was as well. Have a garage door that opens up during the good weather. Margaritas are made with fresh juices not a mix. read more

What a refreshing new restaurant for this area. Aleja, Pedro and Hector run a tight ship and make sure the service experience is elevated. The food is excellent with many choices of traditionally Mexican and some great seafood additions as well. Very lively atmosphere with a touch of Miami swagger. High recommendation from Pedro El Argentino! read more

I lived Miami most of my life, I move to Bradenton seeking the small town vibe. Casa Blanca restaurant remind me of Miami the decor looks fantastic, service was good, food and drinks were great a little on the expensive side for a small town like Bradenton, overall I had a great time!! However something got my attention immediately, when the bill arrived it gives you option to pay "cash 0 fees" or "Credit card with a fee" the card fee is 6-7%. Now we all know the very few people carry cash these day, so it is a guaranteed the you will pay the "card fee" that being said aren't we being squeezed enough by the economy, now we go for a night out to enjoy ourselves and we have to pay the restaurant credit card processing fees plus tips, mind you I have no problem with the tips, but I do have a problem with the restaurant card processing fee!! Hey guys, credit card fees is the cost of doing business!! read more

It takes a lot to get me to write a review. First, the atmosphere is very nice. Second, everything else was not. Got "chips" with two sauces in some small containers that made dipping them difficult. Neither sauce was any good and the chips are not chips, they are like fried something that was not good at all. The we had two steak quesadillas. They had absolutely no taste. I mean zero. I couldn't even drown it in sauce to make it taste like something, because the sauces were bad. They came with lettuce and diced tomatoes (not Pico) with nothing on them (nothing) - not even salt. The Margaritas actually had alcohol in them, but they had no flavor. For what they are charging here it is totally not worth it. There are other really good inexpensive Mexican restaurants locally. Read some reviews. They give you much more food that tastes much better for a reasonable price. read more

Came for a big group birthday celebration on a Friday night. We were quite a large group so I expected service to be a bit slow but not only was it slow it was low quality. We waited about 20 minutes to get our drink order taken, had to wave down our server to order our food. Our food came with large grilled onion that was completely raw, the churrasco wasn't very well seasoned. The menu prices do not reflect what the actual prices are. A few of us didn't get the tortillas that were advertised on the menu but were given conflicting answers that some didn't come with it despite what the menu said. We ordered a cantarito that was advertised as 55$ and it was 155$. Apparently the tequila was $55 and the squirt and orange juice that was in the cantarito was another $100. We asked about the discrepancy and instead of saying they were rectify the menu prices to truly reflect what the actual prices were we were met with questions like "why would a tequila bottle be $55?" It was upsetting to be spoken to like we were crazy when all they had to do was at least say they would update their menu so customers would know what they were paying for. This place has so much potential but the customer service was just awful read more

We really enjoy this place. Service has been great ! Food is good ! Nice cold drinks ! We live out of town and have gone to this place over a dozen times (when we're in Bradenton) and have recommended it many others ! Huge TV's to watch your favorite sports game ! read more

We could hardly wait to experience a new Mexican restaurant in the area although we were incredibly disappointed. Decor is beautiful and great vibe but service was lacking an inviting experience and the food was even worse. Meal was hardly warm, tasting as though it was a frozen meal. Drinks and food overpriced. Chips and salsa not served but could be purchased. We'll stick with Wicked Cantina or Los Chiludos on AMI! read more

The service from Kevin, at the bar, was impeccable. He made many excellent recommendations! The food was delicious!
