We were invited here by our friends and they told us about this on a couple of occasions. We never knew that this place existed. This was our first time here and we were pleasantly surprised. The interior was not fancy and really didn't matter to me. We started off with complementary chips and salsa; we also had a couple servings of guacamole with chips. I had the combo fajita with chicken and steak served with rice and black beans. The seasonings were perfect and tasty. We also had burritos enchiladas and other entrées at our table that were appealing and satisfying There were multiple varieties of dishes including vegetarian if you want it here. They had dessert empanadas including Guava and also apple and cinnamon. You could get ice cream with Churros and you could also get fried ice cream. The food preparation took some time but it was made to order so that really did not bother us since we enjoyed each other's time together. Our server was pleasant and helpful. We will come back again. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and so glad I finally did!!! The food was flavorful and delicious. Some of the best empanadas I have had in a long time and the chicken and shrimp fajitas were excellent. I would definitely go back soon and bring our friends back with us to enjoy was well!!! read more

This place is overpriced. The food is bland. The portions are small. Never again. Adios

We absolutely love this place! Delicious, fresh TexMex for great prices. The shrimp tacos are to die for. We go as often as we can!

HORRIBLE experience. HORRIBLE customer service. The rudest people I've ever encountered in the food industry. I ordered a chicken burrito and over the phone I specifically asked if it was grilled chicken, the women in the phone said yes. But I guess she misunderstood me or I wasn't clear because when received it was dark meat chicken from the thigh. When I called they immediately argued saying I was wrong and should have asked for white meat only, didn't ask to remake it. When I went back in person to return the food the women who took my order immediately started arguing with me and then she said she would get the manager to talk about giving me a refund. Instead she came back and said "the owner asks that you never come back after we give you the refund" and I said no problem. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Save your time, go to Abby's. Wish I could give them a 0. read more

I support local restaurants . There are not many Mexican restaurants near by (except On the border ..Jose tejas) ,so we were eager to visit . so visited Friday lunch. The place is very new. empty parking lot ..empty place (noon time). But interior is very colorful ..well decorated ..and designed to detail..we like it. They need to work on there Mexican "generous" part ..salsa is not up to the mark ,it is not spicy ..not fresh , it don't have kick. please visit other authentic places to know what salsa is. But there main items are nice . we ordered chicken fajitas ,and combination platters ..it is very nice ..and again guacamole is not fresh. Main Ingredients of Mexican food is Fresh herbs/ vegggies. They need to make them on the premises . so please concentrate on Salsa and Guacamole . We want this place as successful ..and hope this constructive review will be helpful for the management . read more

Foods always good an fresh, love the tacos an everything on the menu is excellent. Call ahead if your taking the food to go. It's better to have it served right to your table. Bring friends an family an have a great meal read more

I was here last night for my birthday. It was my second time and I love It. I had shrimp and chicken fajitas and they were amazing. The wait staff is great and comes out hot and fast. Highly recommend and I'll be again soon. Also love that It is a BYOB read more

First off this place is BYOB which is always a plus. The prices are more than reasonable and the food is delicious and fresh. The servers se always friendly and helpful. Their churros are sooo good also a must try if you have room for dessert! read more

Food was excellently prepared. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Pleasantly surprised. Will definitely return

We've eaten here multiple times and the quality of the food is always on point! The quality doesn't waiver even when doing to go orders! Great service and prices. read more

This place is horrible vegetarian don't bother .The person that seemed to be the owner didn't even know what cheese flautas were and was so rude . read more

I recently held my Daughter's birthday party at this restaurant's party room. My experience was great; the owners are hands off, allowed my family & friends flexibility to decorate and setup. I also had them cater the party, the food was amazing...so many compliments & Im still eating leftovers. This may now be my 'go to' for all my major events. Thank You for a memorable birthday party for my BabyGirl...We Will Be Back! read more

AMAZING! Such a great little place for some delicious Tex-Mex cuisine. We had everything from enchilladas, huevos rancheros, shrimp tacos, carnitas tacos, and empanadas. It was all wonderful. The wait for food was a little long but worth every second. We enjoyed some chips, salsa and guacamole while we waited that was also very tasty. Great atmosphere and service which made everything even better. Will definitely be going back soon!!! read more

Food and service were both excellent. The dining room was not at all busy, but many people were in and out for takeout. I got the combo #1 which was a stuffed poblano and enchiladas. It also came with rice and beans. The portions were pretty large, and had plenty of leftovers. Both dishes were tasty. Will definitely be back! read more

Wow, been wanting and waiting for a good authentic mexican place in the area. This one really fits the bill! Great portions for the prices and all the food has great flavor! We ordered 3 carnitas tacos, 3 tacos al pastor (all mexican style with soft corn tortillas), and 2 chorizo empanadas. Couldnt find a negative thing to say about any of it. Will definitely be back soon. Can't wait to try some of their other menu items! read more

My family and I eat here quite often. We rave about the food to whoever will listen! It's just aunthentic Mexican food-- no frills, no fuss. The portions are huge, too. My favorite is combo #9 with enchiladas, tamale, and 2 tacks accompanied by rice and beans. So much food for $14! We enjoy their food and want to support this small business that we even had them cater my son's "Taco Twosday" birthday party. The food was abundant and delicious. Everyone loved it! And we had left overs! read more

The food was delicious. First time visit; take out. Bought carnitas and ground beef tacos, homemade empanadas, and homemade apple empanadas. Loved it all and will return for a full meal. Btw great atmosphere and very friendly. read more

Food was delicious! The carnitas tacos and steak in burrito was tender and tasty. Chicken enchiladas and tostones was good too. Staff was friendly and we had great conversation. Will definitely be back! This place is a hidden gem. Some of the best quality mexican food I've had. read more

Great place. Nice owners and staff. Good food. We love it here. I usually get the chicken and my fiance gets their vegetarian food

Great food and nice atmosphere. Placed a to-go order, order was ready when I arrived and the nice lady was double-checking it to make sure it was all there. Got the food home and it was still hot so it hadn't been sitting waiting. Food was delicious, had a bunch of flavor and looked great too. Will definitely be ordering again and will most likely turn into my go-to for Tex-Mex food. And the prices were very reasonable. Food for a family of 4 was a little over $40, can't beat that nowadays. read more

We went to this restaurant around 6 PM Saturday. Upon entering the restaurant and waiting a few minutes, the waitress handed us 2 menus and told us to sit any place we wanted. We sat at a table which was dirty and not clean. After waiting 10 minutes and not even asked if we wanted a glass of water, my wife and I left. I spoke to the owner and explained this was unacceptable. She was kind and apologized but the damage was, and has been, done. We will never go there again. read more

Wow. So good. Had breakfast there yesterday. Huevos rancheros were soooo tasty and plentiful! The portions are big, be prepared to bring home leftovers. The guacamole was delicious. Chips were fresh and warm. Breakfast burrito was as promised. The decor here is so nice. So many interesting things to look at while waiting for your food to be freshly prepared. We will be back. I almost wish they weren't this close to us, we may be back more often than we should be. read more

This place is a gem. Try the Casa Salad before a combo meal. My favorites are the Chimichangas and enchiladas. This is not fast food so BYOB of sangria and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere while your meal is meticulously prepared. This is our new go-to for family celebrations. read more

If you're looking for a local Tex Mex restaurant that's authentic, without being able overrated or a chain, you've found your spot. We ordered take out from here and it was delicious. We enjoyed the Tex mex salad and steak burrito bowl. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. For dessert, get the stuffed churro...the best I've ever eaten! We will be ordering regularly and when indoor dining opens, visit again! read more

So happy I found this gem. Food was really really good. I got tamale and tostada. Superior to other Mexican spots I have tried in the area. read more

Food was ok, price was good, however we were a large party and someone ordered an appetizer thinking it was beef, which ended up being pork. It was sent back without issue until the older lady, (manager or owner) came over and said in front of everyone, if you ordered by mistake you have to pay for it. it wasn't my waitresses fault, so you have to pay... which wasn't the issue, but she felt the need to come over and cause a scene and embarrass the person ordering. As we were leaving I politely advised her that maybe she should have used better judgement and you possibly lost multiple return customers. She said sorry you feel that way and walked away. Too boot it was only a $7.50 app. SMH!!!! read more

This place is Aces!! Ok, it's in a very ugly, unassuming spot. Overlook the parking lot/location aesthetics and make your way inside. The inside decor is very basic with a little bit of campiness (some booths have bucket car seats installed). It kind of feels like a place you might find in the desert along Rt. 66 outside of Williams, AZ. The owners are always there, husband is the cook, wife often seats you herself unless it's the weekend. Blah, blah, blah - skip past ALL of that and let's get to the food! The best tacos ever (only place doing it better is bar inside Bally's in Vegas). The burritos, the enchiladas, the tostones, the pork sliders, the rice & beans, the fried plantain, the... you get the picture (since I sadly haven't posted any - YET). And it all starts with warm tortillas & salsa. The portions are more than appropriate for the $$ & there's always leftovers BYOB like a lot of spots in Jersey. Soft drinks are available. We adore this place and it's our go to "let's grab a quick bite" spot. read more

Our favorite Tex Mex place now and forever. What a great addition to the neighborhood. Food is authentic and priced well. BYOB + it's inviting decor make it a great place to sit back with your friends or family. Amazing experience, will become a regular spot for us. read more

Delicious! Ordered a little bit of everything to go. We tried the beef empanadas, shrimp tacos were absolutely AMAZING, as well as the chorizo tacos. Also ordered combos 3&5 with steak and pork. Will definitely recommend and try this place again!! Staff was also very nice. Sorry the pictures don't do this food justice I was too hungry read more

My wife and I just ate here. The food is Excellent!!! Empanadas were great and the mild sauce they put on the burrito and enchiladas is out of this world. We're always looking for good Mexican food and we finally have a place in the area. Better food and cheaper than Lala's. read more

Great tasting food, large portions, good prices and really friendly staff. Check it out once and it will become your favorite tex-mex place in the area. read more

Would like to give more than 2 stars because our food was good but we can't get past the horrible service. Took over 20 minutes for a server to acknowledge us while we watch other parties come in after us get served. After we finally put our order in, it takes a flood deal of time for our apps to come. Then after about 45 minutes our server comes over to tell us they are out of one of our entrees. Really???? Then disappears again, never asking if anyone needs drink refills. Oh almost forgot. One of our entrees came out 10 minutes later than the others. Poor poor poor. read more

Not impressed at all. Both times ordered take out they forgot the sauce both times. The chicken enchiladas and tamales doesn't seem fresh at all. Like it's reheated in a microwave. The rice is nothing special either. Not worth a third try. read more

We have eaten as Casa twice and will go back again. The food is fresh and flavorful; meals are very affordable. The restaurant is BYOB so that you can bring your favorite cerveza. read more

Authentic Mexican food. We love this place! The owners are the nicest people. Cannot wait to go back.

Fresh and fantastic! Very reasonable. The empanadas were delish. Tried the Cuban sliders also very good. I recommend the hard tacos Tex Mex style read more

I had purchased chicken nachos- disgusting!!!!! The order was take out, so maybe that is why? My brothers food looked OK though

We enjoyed our dinner here. Food was delicious and big portions. Plenty to take home. Everything is fresh and made to order. The decor is eclectic and adds to the character of this restaurant. I'd definitely return to try more items. Give it a try as it's one of the better restaurant options in this area. read more

Food is really fantastic but I've never felt like more of an inconvenience for wanting to give someone business. Arrived before 6:30 pm with a part of 8. They looked disappointed & said it would be slow bc they were understaffed. The place was nearly empty. They were very sure to say they needed to be closed by 8. Totally understand if they had plans (day before Thanksgiving) & wanted to close early - but maybe don't open at all if you are going to leave customers feeling like an inconvenience. Also saw several customer turned away at the door after we sat. read more
