    Pretty good Mexican in hillsdale. Chips and salsa was tasty. Got the Al pastor and fish tacos. Both plates were huge with a bunch of rice and beans and 3 good sized taco. Al pastor was tasty. Fish was a bit bland.

    The hefty Pollo Asado Salad - lots of good stuff here.

    I really wanted to give this local spot 4 stars, but since I live in the neighborhood I feel like I'm already biased, so I'll just say the food - while coming out in hefty portions and served nice and warm - is pretty much average, with a lot of creamy beans on the side and heavily sauced entrees. That said, every meal I've had here is super satisfying and a good bang for the buck, if that's your thing, and I have kept coming back for years cuz I love the cheerful, unpretentious ambiance ...and the service is just straight up genuinely awesome. You see a lot of familiar faces here, and it has a great, family-friendly neighborhood feel so the three different areas - main dining room, bar area and outdoor patio - are usually fairly busy. Plus the endless baskets of tortilla chips and salsa do not hurt! Pro tip #1: the Pollo Asado Salad is a winner. Huge portion with lots of perfectly grilled meat and a nice rack of avocado slices. Pro tip #2: Don't believe the menu - these are not the best margaritas in town. Mine came out of a gun, which in my book warrants an instant demerit.

    We judge a Mexican restaurant based on freshness of their salsa so Casa Colima gets HUGE tacos. Service from Jose was impeccable. Will come again next time in the neighborhood.

    This place is truly amazing. Love the service here. Ambience is tranquil. Lights are dimmed. Food comes good size portions. Super delicious. Guacamole is fresh. Drinks are so yummy.

    Very kind and thoughtful wait service. The food was hot and fresh. My only critique would be the rice was a tad overcooked and the enchiladas could have been seasoned slightly more. The Jamaica "Mezcarita" was incredibly well balanced and boozy! My spouse got a birthday dessert which was a fried cheesecake, that was so creamy and fried to perfection. The ambiance alone would make us return, natural lighting with pops of color from the interior decor. I look forward to coming back!

    Entering our happy place!

    Casa Colima has become our go-to! Long day? Casa Colima. Weekend relaxation? Casa Colima. A mangonada with some guacamole and queso at the bar top will make all your problems go away for a little while. Service has always been a 10/10.

    We went here for my Birthday on the way out of town. All of our food was PHENOMENAL! Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. We went right at 5pm and we most definitely beat the rush. Our server was amazing, the other wait staff were helpful, and the restaurant was very comfortable overall. The decor is absolutely beautiful inside. The walls, tables, and chairs were all beautiful. Music was inviting and just the right volume to talk amongst ourselves. We will absolutely be going back! PS: Get the Flan... Possibly the best Flan I've ever had in a restaurant. It was exactly how it should be... Thick & Creamy texture cooked perfectly and not scorched at all. Most restaurants Scorch their Flan and it's almost spongy on top. Nobody wants that. This was the perfect flavor and texture from top to bottom and it was a big portion. If you are full, get it to go!

Chicken Fajitas were good but, it's a different taste from other places I've had it (my love enjoyed it he said it had a very authentic flavor). Rice (fluffy) and Beans (well seasoned) both were really delicious. Service~Pearlina was super sweet, knew the menu very well and, had exceptional service. She made sure we had everything we needed and, continue to check on us throughout our meal. Ambiance~It's has a very calming vibe and atmosphere. I love the fact they have a privacy strip on the windows (so no one walking by watches you eat). It's a family owned restaurant and, I would recommend giving them a try. I feel what we ordered was worth it but, everything (except water) has a charge. Only street parking and, lots of indoor/outdoor seating.

Both the fish and the prawns were cooked in a red sauce that was delicious! I meant to ask for blue corn tortillas but was so excited to find shrimp & fish tacos that weren't deep-fried that I forgot to ask for them. The regular corn tortillas were excellent, though, so it was not a bad mistake to make. I also had jamaica to drink and let me tell you... it was not made from a mix! It was dark, thirst-quenching, and perfectly made. Most jamaica is super sweet - this was not! I love the flavor of real hibiscus and this did not disappoint. My friends had chile relleno bowls and birria tacos, all of which was excellent. Their watermelon margaritas were tasty and refreshing! Our orders were taken by a helpful person at the cash register and the food was served quickly by a friendly server. The inside and outside areas were clean and tidy, with plenty of seating available at the outside tables. The outdoor seating area is under cover making it a good choice for both summer & winter dining. Definitely going on my "have to go back and try something else" list!

I tried their course menu, and every dish was presented with such care and beauty. What I especially appreciated was how each dish was bursting with flavor without being overly salty or sweet -- something that's surprisingly hard to find at restaurants. The decor is stylish yet welcoming, and the music adds just the right amount of ambiance while still allowing for easy conversation. No need to yell across the table!

We decided to do the $45 lunch deal where we let them feed us and basically got a 10 course lunch (totally worth it)! Since we tried so many things, some courses were a miss and some were a big hit. It was really fun! Some of my favorites were the arroz con frijoles, yes the rice and beans! They are so flavorful and served with house made tortillas. I think my favorite thing was the tostada topped with white beans, cabbage, and roasted corn - insane! I also loved the Huarache with adobo squash and I'm not normally into smokey things, but everything just worked together. I wasn't the biggest fan of one of the moles we were served, but there was a sweeter one that was paired with eggplant that I couldn't stop eating. We ended the meal with 2 desserts and 1 came with a candle for our friend, which is always such a lovely gesture. The fried concha was incredible!! GET IT! Ours had ground cherries and a lime whipped cream and I would come back just for that. This is definitely a spot that's worth the tasting menu! There are so many flavors to explore you will want to try everything!

And to be honest, we were debating whether to get papi chulo's or not since it was a weeknight and we never eat out on weeknights. Safe to say, it was a mistake. They told her on the phone that our pick up order would be ready in 10 min. I walked in there 15 min later to get it, and it was not ready. The gentleman helping me out when I walked in looked like he had zero idea what I was talking about when I mentioned the pick up order name. He then immediately walked away from me and went to the register, and proceeded to ask me what I ordered and at this point, I knew he didn't know what it was and he said, "oh, it will be ready in 7 minutes." I ordered only 3 Breakfast burritos with no meat or anything in them - so, I thought 7 min wasn't too bad. Boy, was I wrong. It actually took 20 min (yes, 20 min) with me standing there by the table until the order was ready with no number or anything. I'll remind you all that there were legit 2 other customers in there and ONE CUSTOMER received their order before our 3 breakfast burritos were ready! That isn't right. I get sometimes food takes awhile, but both of them didn't apologize or anything while I was waiting. I've been to Muchas Gracious waiting for my order before, and they offered me a free drink because they felt bad they were having me wait 5 min! I don't accept it because I felt bad, but the point is, the lack of accountability and customer service during this experience was dreadful. And to be honest, the times I've been here, they haven't ever been too nice to me. After the order was finally ready, the lady working by the grill stuffed in at least 10 plastic containers of hot sauce into my bag. When we got home, most of them opened up and it left the biggest mess in the bag! Come on guys. This was just bad. Plus, my burritos were greasy anyways and tasted off. (See picture of the mess). I won't lie, there's plenty of other Mexican restaurants and establishments I can go to other than Papi Chulo's. Pretty disappointing experience overall and I can guarantee you I won't be going back anytime soon. I'd give the experience a 1/10 and the food a 2/10.
