This review is for their greedy takeout practices. I've tried to make this work for 2 years. But I'm officially breaking up w Casa Mama. Goodbye, greedy restaurant. Goodbye, $5.99 kids quesadilla that doesn't include rice or beans. (I thought it was a mistake, so I called and asked. Confirmed that the kids quesadilla does not include rice or beans. $5.99 for literally some cheese sandwiches between two small tortillas; pictured) Goodbye, $7.50 half filled bowl of soup (again, no sides. Just almost $8.00 for the half bowl of soup. Pictured) Goodbye, $6.99 queso in a tiny cup. (Pictured) Goodbye, cheap frozen margaritas that are not happy hour prices when ordering takeout at happy hour. Goodbye FOREVER, greeeedy salsa policy. The picture in this review with the hand? That is literally all you get when you order chips and salsa to go. Like *thats it*. Dare you ask for more?? They charge you $6.00 for more. And guys... they don't even warn you. They just add $6.00 and give it to you with a straight face, as if this isn't both mildly hilarious and an insult to your customers intelligence all at the same time? Casa Mama y'all are out here acting like you're the only Mexican food restaurant?? Noooo amigo. Y'all are the equivalent of a neighbothood sushi restaurant in Japan: a dime a dozen. With your greedy take-out practices, coupled with the sheer amount of Mexican food options within a 10 mile radius of y'all, it's just bad business. But I'm pretty sure I'm not the first customer or the first review to say all this. Which shows me, y'all have decided y'all are gonna do you. Do it, boo. But as for me? Goodbye. Forever. read more

Best neighborhood Mexican place anyone could ask for! The staff is wonderful and they're always speedy and accurate when I've eaten here. I love everything I've tried but nachos are probably what I order the most. The queso with beef and the salsa are THE BEST. I think you can judge a Mexican place by the chips and salsa and this one tops that list. Salsa is the perfect consistency - not chuncky - and spice level. Always a winner and a go-to spot. Lucky to have it so close! read more

Foods and service was excellent. I will definitely go back and recommend you visit ASAP!

As a new Texas resident, I have eaten my way through at least a dozen Mexican restaurants. Casa Mama is by far the best one I have been too. The rib-eye fajitas are amazing - never overcooked and scalding hot when they get to your table. The wait staff is always lovely. This is my go-to Mexican spot! read more

We have eaten at the restaurant before but this is our first time getting it to go. My wife got caldo de res which was good. I ordered the Verdes Enchiladas and the menu says it comes with three. I got home, opened it up, and this is what they gave me. The food tastes really good but being shorted an enchilada is disappointing. read more

Casa Mama - Verdes enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

Great food and great service. This is our go to place! Very kid friendly and our 5 year old insists on coming here.

My Wife and I ate there last night, and for the first time. We enjoyed the heck out of it. Very friendly staff all the way around. Made us feel like we were regulars. Good feeling to the place. Good crowd and you could tell they really liked coming there. Our new go to Mexican Restaurant. Margaritas were solid and well priced. White cheese queso great. Entree's very very good and again well priced. My wife will tell you I came in a bit skeptical and left the place well impressed. We had Brisket soft tacos and the Manuels Enchiladas to get a good idea of the 3 different ones. All good. Sopapilla for dessert just fine. Some of the best service, so thank you Guillermo for that and putting up with my humor. We will bring a few friends and neighbors next time. Thanks again to the owners for operating a really good establishment. We appreciate it! Hat Patterson read more

So they fired Miguel and are lying to people saying he's on vacation and this new manager is setting traps trying to get rid of some regulars that drank at the bar. Very weird and doesn't seem very friendly anymore. Miguel was the heart of this place and since he's been gone they are going downhill quickly. They even told this handicap guy they would no longer serve him. read more

This is our favorite discovery! The food is always good as is the service and atmosphere. we come here often and there is nothing I've had that has not been delicious and full of flavor. i personally never eat mexican rice or beans because I don't usually like them...however, I eat them up here! thanks to the Manager Miguel, our server Andrea, David, Mitchel and all the cooks for making every meal we eat her magical!!! Dont wait another moment to get there. read more

After visiting so many disappointing Mexican and Tex-Mex locations around Garland/Plano/Richardson we stumbled upon this little gem and fell in love! Casa Mama is the real deal from their food to their drinks to their service. My husband and I are from areas with good Mexican food on every corner so moving to Garland to find that most of the spots have watered down drinks and sub-par food was a let down. Casa Mama has amazing salsa and the chips are served warm which I prefer. We were seated rather quickly and started with the chicken nacho appetizer which was delicious! Crisp large chips, perfectly spiced refried beans, chicken, guac. and all the fixins'. The margaritas (frozen) are delicious and have just enough alcohol to get the job done. The entrees: Great portions, perfect temp. and OH THE FLAVOR!!! I had the combination enchiladas because I had to try the avocado sauce and boy am I glad I did. My husband had the seafood enchiladas with Salmon and I totally took over his plate! This was probably the best version of seafood enchiladas I have ever had! We were stuffed but after 2 years of terrible Mexican food we had to try the desserts as well. We got the sopapillas and coconut flan. Both were delicious! On the flan I will warn you it's a tad sweet compared to traditional flan but very delicious if you like coconut! Give this place a try if you like Mexican food. You wont be disappointed! read more

Great food and excellent service. We always have a great time. The margaritas are super strong.

Love their patio, margaritas, and delicious food! The patio makes you feel like you're on vacation...not in a Kroger shopping center!

We went here during the superbowl, I wasn't aware they'd have TVs and $1 frozen margaritas, but I was pleasantly surprised by both. The service, food and ambiance are all awesome. I had the brisket enchiladas and the coconut flan. I HIGHLY recommend both. The brisket enchiladas are potato enchiladas in a poblano sauce with moist brisket on top. Everything about the dish is excellently seasoned and works very well together. The coconut flan is another level. The custard has an amazing texture and works very well on the bed of coconut. read more

Amazing food, cheap strong margaritas, great service, great prices. I've never had something here that didn't wow me. There's a good balance of both Tex-Mex and real Mexican, but not Mexican street food--it's sit-down, nice meal food. And man is it good. The brisket is to die for. Every time we go we get the brisket quesadillas to share, and I usually get the brisket enchiladas on top of that! Let me tell you about these brisket enchiladas. There are 4, served on a bed of avocado cream sauce that is heaven on it's own. The enchiladas are stuffed with mashed potatoes that must be like 50% heavy cream, they are the most decadent mashed potatoes I've ever had. Then the brisket is heaped on top, and drizzled with more avocado cream sauce. It sounds weird, but it's amazing. The mole sauce is super complex and multi-layered in flavor. The beef fajitas are always cooked perfect medium rare, and so soft they practically melt in your mouth. Want to eat healthier? The chipotle salmon or tilapia with shrimp are both good. The margaritas are sweet, flavorful and pretty strong! I get the mango, but also sometimes the regular. The regular is sour enough to have a nice pucker. Great service to boot! read more

How does this place was just some car the food was good it wasn't great some of the meats that we had were dry there wasn't really much flavor to the beans but traditional Mexican there normally is it. I wouldn't go again but I'm glad we went. Overall though the atmosphere was the best part service was second and the food was last. read more

My favorite salsa in DFW is here. Really good menu. Everything I have tried here is good to excellent; I've tried over half the menu at this point lol. read more

Great food. Service can be slow, but the food is worth the wait. Highly recommend anything with their brisket...

The best Tex mex place I've been to in years. Happy hour is incredible, bartender pours drinks wonderfully and the food is incredible. Got 3 drinks each and 2 entrees and our meal was $40. So coming back to this place every time we come to Plano! read more

The pork stew and the service was great. I've only been once and it was this week. I'll certainly be going back. read more

Moving to Texas from Illinois, and being a lover of authentic Mexican food, I figured I'd find a better variety in Dallas. Overall, I was dead wrong. The area is full of Tex-Mex places disguised as Mexican restaurants. Don't get me wrong, Tex-Mex is good, but when I want Mexican food, I want the REAL DEAL. That being said, and being new to town, I let Yelp guide me on where I should be spending my dollar. I chose to eat at Casa Mama, and even after trying a few places since then, I haven't found anything more authentic. The service ROCKS. Everyone is very friendly and ready to serve you! The food is AWESOME. You can tell it doesn't come from a can, and they have real authentic stuff! (My personal favorite - chile relleno con beef brisket) If you want to try a traditional Mexican drink, and you're not much of a sweet drink person - try the michelada with Modelo Especial here. It is like a bloody mary with beer. I know that you don't know me from Adam, er, Eve, but I make authentic Mexican every night for dinner and my husband is first generation from Mexico City, and this is the ONLY place he calls Mexican around here. read more

Soggy food and poor service don't make me want to come back and spend money here. According to management, quesadillas are supposed to be soggy mush. read more

The brisket queso very good flavor, enchiladas were hot and cheese was melted. Very friendly service, quickly seated and food arrived fast and hot. Clean friendly environment. Comfortable chairs and big tables. read more

Always a great spot for lunch or dinner! Great Tex-mex location. Descent pricing. Friendly service.

Came here for a Work Lunch, and I would have to say this is a cool little Mom&Pop restaurant. Seems like a cool little place to grab a couple post-work happy hour margaritas. This is basically like 95% of ever other Tex Mex place in a Texas. It has the typical Enchiladas and Fajitas on the menu. Everyone at my table got an assortment of fajitas, and they looked pretty standard. They also did have fresh jalapenos per request. However, I tried the Chipotle Salmon, and the dish has it's ups and downs. The Salmon itself was over-cooked and dry. In my opinion, Salmon should be medium rare (medium at most). On top of that, it was clear the cook messed up and the fillet broke in half and that is how it was served, which probably added to the dryness factor. The "veggies" are basically zucchini/ squash strings that has been loosely sautéed which I'm not really a fan; I prefer my veggies in larger pieces if it is the only side dish. However, It is all served on a chipotle cheese sauce that was actually quite delicious and the saving grace of the dish. I personally wouldn't mind coming back if someone else in the group wanted to go, but probably not going to go out of my way to make it over. read more

Went here for dinner with friends yesterday. They had margaritas on Happy Hour ( had a raspberry and a regular frozen one). Both were delicious while enjoying some of the chips and salsa, as well as the chicken flautas. The three flautas were served with refried beans and Mexican rice, as well as some pico, as sour cream. As dessert I had the coconut flan, which was absolutely amazing. A friend of mine ordered the tres leches cake, and it was a very generous serving and also excellent. read more

Casa Mama - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

We came to this restaurant after searching Yelp for a place to eat when we finished helping out with a community service project in East Plano last week. My wife got the Guiso (Pork Stew), and at my wife's prodding to not always order the same old boring "chicken fajitas", I ordered the brisket tacos. The Guiso was quite tender and tasty, and also provided a few minutes of amusement for us as I kept saying "guiso" repeatedly because it was just an interesting, fun word to say. The brisket tacos were fine, but I think I would have enjoyed some chicken fajitas more. If we were in the area again, we'd go back here...but we wouldn't make a special trip out for it. read more

Best Mexican food around, great margaritas,lovely staff and service! Great location read more

This neighborhood restaurant is a pleasant surprise. We tried it out this evening and enjoyed our meals. My husband had the brisket enchiladas and they were really good, I will be having that next time we go. The salsa is fresh and had good bite, I ate way more chips and salsa than I should have. I ordered the chicken fajitas, my chicken was kind of dry, but they came with a lot of onion and peppers. I personally prefer more guac/pico/sour cream than what they gave. Imo they gave too much rice and beans not enough fajita toppings. The tortillas were freshmade, and my husband said the margaritas were strong but well mixed. read more

Casa Mama - Brisket enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Plano, Texas

This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! They have all the usual stuff and a few familiar dishes with a twist. Be sure to try the brisket enchiladas- Your grandmother's Sunday dinner meets it's Mexican half sister! Maybe you wanted Italian and were dragged here kicking and screaming? Try the pasta! The poblano cream sauce has a garlicky kick that makes Alfredo shake in his boots. Service varies- I have had fun, interactive servers, the silent type and the happy medium, but never bad service, alwaya attentive. read more

Unfortunately we won't be back. Disappointed with the food here. Beware especially if you have a food allergy. This restaurant is not knowledgeable about their food and what is in it. They asked " is it a bad allergy? " When I replied " yes it's bad" they said i don't really have anything for you, not even salad. read more

Typical Tex Mex menu with friendly, efficient staff. Outdoor seating available if weather is good.

Tried this place on a whim, and I am SO glad I did! Very friendly waiter, and they had a guy singing and playing guitar during the meal (this was on a Wednesday). Queso is blanco, unique, and very tasty. Salsa was too hot for me, but I am not a person who can handle spicy foods. I had the Mexican Lasagna, and I must say it was incredibly delicious...Chicken, corn tortillas, corn, beans, cheese...all in a delicious creamy poblano sauce (not spicy at all). Presentation was great, as well. Had the coconut flan for dessert. I was not disappointed...great flavor, consistency, and so different than any other flan I've tried. Again, presentation was great! Casa Mama definitely takes Mexican food to a different level. read more

Great family restaurant. Brisket enchiladas are incredible! Great service, always! Good drinks too!

The food is delicious here. My whole family really loves their salsa! The queso was devoured as was all of our food. The service was also very good. We will be back when we are in Murphy again. read more

I can't begin to say how much my wife and I love this place. I always get the brisket enchiladas. I don't ever order anything else. This dish is out of this world good. My only one bad experience I ever had there was when I took my first bite of the brisket enchilada meal I ordered yet again and I bit down on something hard. I spat out whatever it was and after inspecting it, I found it to be a pretty good size piece of wood. I set my plate aside and when the waiter or manager came to the table I showed him the piece of wood and he brought me a new dish. I was thankful for the new dish, but was a bit surprised that they didn't offer an apology. This isn't anything that will prevent me from going back, accidents happen, but they should have made a better effort to apologize for me biting down on a piece of wood. That really could have caused an injury. read more
