What a wonderful experience! After entering the beautiful interior, we were greeted with the most warm and lovely person. Found out later she was part owner with her brothers and sisters of the restaurant. She was kind enough to take my granddaughter and I around the restaurant and explained the murals and ceiling art of how they told the story of their family and the special meanings behind the gorgeous art. As for the food, it was exceptional and very delicious. Also very reasonably priced. Everything was top notch here, down to the cleanliness of the restrooms . I highly recommend! read more

I finally made the drive to Casa Centro in Springfield and had mixed feelings about a few dishes. We sat outside on a beautiful day, which made for a pleasant dining experience. Our server was very nice and personable throughout the meal. He did forget to bring silverware and napkins for the appetizers, so we had to ask for them, but otherwise the service was friendly. We started with the chips, salsa, and queso. The chips were fresh, crisp, and not overly salty. The salsa tasted fresh and homemade, and the queso had a nice kick that kept me coming back for more. I also tried the street corn. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite item. It tasted more like corn that had been poured straight from a can rather than fresh roasted street corn. The birria empanadas were good, with a crispy shell and flavorful filling. The sauce served with them was delicious. My only surprise was that I expected the cheese, onion, and cilantro to be inside the empanadas, but most of those toppings were served on the plate instead. For my entrée, I ordered the bowl with half chicken and half shrimp. The shrimp was the star of the dish. It had a nice crispy coating, was seasoned well, and had great flavor. The chicken was a little under-seasoned in comparison, but the portions were generous and they definitely didn't skimp on the protein. My dining companion ordered the California Burrito. The presentation was impressive, and it was definitely a substantial portion. However, we were surprised to find green beans inside, which wasn't something either of us expected in a California Burrito. Overall, the restaurant was clean, the portions were generous, and there were definitely some highlights. The fresh salsa, queso, shrimp, empanada sauce, and portion sizes stood out the most for me. While a couple of dishes missed the mark for my personal taste, I'd be willing to return and try some of the tacos or other menu items. Rating: 3.5/5 read more

My husband and I discovered this restaurant during an overnight stay in Springfield. If I lived there, I would eat at this restaurant daily. Everything was fresh and house made. We had a margarita flight with lime, mango, and raspberry margaritas. It was perfect for two people, and the margaritas were obviously freshly made. My husband had the carne asada, and it was beautifully plated. He said it was very good. I had the house soup, which was flavorful and very good. I would eat it every day on the wintertime. The service was excellent. The restaurant is in a historic building with high ceilings and is beautiful. read more

Stopped here after antiquing, great spot, great location, amazing vibes inside. The bar area is super cute with fun tiles and artwork. The food was great. Had a couple fun margaritas that were definitely worth the price along with a beer that came in an icy glass. Fajitas 10/10, steak had great flavor and added jalapeños. Birria Empanadas 9/10, could definitely share with the table, a perfect appetizer. I got the Pollo en Chipotle 10/10, had a GREAT sauce. All presentation of the food was fantastic, clean plating. Waitress and Waiters were so nice, all the food is homemade, and even the produce used for the margaritas are all locally sourced and prepared each day fresh, read more

Casa Centro is bringing modern Mexican cuisine to Springfield in the most delicious way. My partner and I went on a rainy, humid early summer Saturday. The food was spot on. We ate two baskets of chips and three things, including the best Mexican salsa. The chips were warm, and the salsa was super fresh. It didn't taste like anything canned, which I feel happens at Mexican restaurants more often than not. I ordered the Al Pastor tacos! Wowzer. They had a street truck feel but an upscale flavor. They were so good that I already want to go back. I also liked the black refried beans and Spanish rice. My partner got a spicy shrimp dish with warm tortillas and Spanish rice. He said it was one of the best Mexican dishes he had eaten in a while. The place's decor is top-notch, and the seating style and areas can accommodate everyone. The staff uniform gives off a very upscale but comfortable vibe. I didn't try any of the drinks, but that Margarita flight is calling my name the next time. read more

Excellent modern Mexican cuisine. I usually eat there when I'm in town. Definitely recommend.

The experience was very good all around. Upscale dining area and bar, good appetizers, cocktails and the food definitely a step up from your typical Mexican restaurant. The menu goes beyond traditional Mexican dishes especially in the seafood area. We sat at the bar and were served by Daniel, he did a nice job, even made my wife an off menu jalapeño margarita. Slightly higher prices than your typical Mexican restaurant but worth it! read more

It is worth the trip downtown to eat here. I have had multiple things off the menu and nothing has disappointed. Great servers and nice ambiance. A good value for the cost, sometimes I cant believe how much I got for the cost! A+ all the way around. Nothing but Great experience! read more

Casa Centro Modern is one of the best Mexican restaurants around! It's obvious the ingredients are fresh and made to order. The cocktails are good too. They have pretty glasses and dishes!

My husband and I drove to Springfield to meet friends from Dayton. There are three Mexican restaurants in the downtown area so this was just a random pick of the three. The decor was just beautiful, especially the hand painted ceiling and all the unique tiling. I selected the margarita flight and my fav was the raspberry and I loved how they were served. My husband got the first margarita on the menu and WOW what a cool glass it was served in. Did I mention that the food and drinks were way less expensive than in Columbus??? I ordered the barbacoa burrito and my husband ordered the tacos. Both were made with authentic yet gourmet, unique flavors and spices. We will definitely meet up here again. Wish I had taken some photos. I rarely YELP but I just had to do so for this upscale jewel in downtown Springfield. read more

This is the BEST Mexican restaurant I have been to in the Dayton, Spfld and Columbus areas. The food was excellent and very flavorful. There were 4 of us. We each had different meals. Taquitos, Camarones Macha (Shrimp), Carne Asada and Sopas. I wish I could remember our server's name. We were seated at a table in the bar area. The service was exceptional. He told us how long it would take to get our meals. He asked 3-4 times if everything was ok. Our water glasses were kept consistently full. Our waiter had a great personality as well. He answered all of our questions and cleared our plates immediately when we were done eating. The restaurant is extremely clean and all of the employees were very personable. All of us said this will be our go to Mexican restaurant from here on out!!! read more

Amazing food, great drinks and beautiful location in downtown Springfield. This is our new "go to" for Mexican cuisine.

Authentic Mexican cuisine. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The beans (black beans) and rice were so good and not over cheesed. Grilled fish tacos were delicious as was the guacamole, salas and chips. Requested some extra hot salsa which they explained was hand crafted. The place was busy at 5 on a Saturday. Everyone loved their meals. read more
