Open on Sunday. The line wasn't clear and the woman hung up on me now. Ordered guacamole, mole poblano rojo, chicken fajitas with corn tortillas and a hot salsa ($2). Their house mild salsa is decent. We asked for their hotter salsa ($2) and it made me cough, it's quite hot. The hot and mild are pretty good together. The corn chips are okay, crunchy but they don't taste so fresh. The guacamole isn't too bad, a tad salty. Their chip basket for the first was wider than the second basket that we asked for with our guacamole. The mole was okay, until I nearly broke my teeth biting into a bone in an assembled taco from the mole. I was done eating after the 2 inch bone in the chicken mole. The waitress is running all of the tables. She isn't super warm or friendly much. The waitress stopped by and asked if the food was okay. I told her there was a bone in my mole and pointed to it on the plate. She asked me if I wanted a box. I told her no, that I nearly broke my tooth biting into the taco. She gave me a deadpan look and grabbed the plate and looked really upset with me. She never once apologized on behalf of the kitchen or the restaurant, it felt like she was blaming me for the bone. read more

Was hoping for the best, but after my visit I will not be back. Sour tart margaritas and substandard food. Just say no.

I went to have dinner with my family last weekend and the food was good, the service was TERRIBLE. There was a girl working with two little girls who seemed to be under 10 years old, and the waitress was arguing with them because they didn't behave. It is not the first time that I see children working in this restaurant on weekends and it worries me because they bring you the glasses and hot dishes and it's a problem if one day someone gets hurt by accident that involves the children. I think they should do something about it soon. We already let the waitress know but she doesn't seem to care what we think. read more

I just love this place. I come here on my lunch break at least once a week if not more. I recommend the Chips and Queso, Bean Gordita, Cheese Chile Relleno, and Bean Tostada. I'm a vegetarian and in this area, the options are low, but even still this place is great. Love my girl at the carryout - so sweet and always brightens my day when I come in! Love this place so much their number is stored in my favorites lol read more

Casa Real - Chile Relleno - SO YUM! - Mexican Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

Food was amazing! This place should be slammed! Portions were huge and prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be back for more chicken enchiladas! read more

I have wanted to check this place out for a while now. I decide this is where I am coming for lunch today. I like the bright colors inside the restaurant. They also have lots of tv screens so it would probably be a beautiful place to go if you wanted to eat and drink and watch a sporting event. I ordered Ground Beef Enchiladas Nortenas. The chips and salsa and enchiladas were delicious. Jenny. My server was fantastic. read more

The tamales taste like they were frozen then microwaved, the sauces are bland - this is a white guy latin restaurant. Don't bother.

The food is edible but has no redeeming qualities. If you want to have the blandest Mexican food possible this is the place. Steak tacos were meh, the chicken tacos were extremely dry. You could make better at home in a crock pot. I would recommend Qdoba or Taco Bell over this place. If you want a public school lunch room version of Mexican then this place is perfect for you and it will set you back about $50 just to feed two people. read more

Sharon said her food taste like it was washed in water, including the meat. No flavor! Mom says her food was no good. No flavor and very watery. My food was bland and very very tough. Over cooked steak pieces with no seasoning. Jessica said her food was nasty. She is concerned about getting sick from the food. Service was also lacking. Asked for napkins and we received 2 napkins for a table of four. Waitress was not too nice and barely spoke which made us feel uncomfortable. We will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Worst Mexican food I've ever had. Decided to try the "Healthy" tacos (listed as having grilled vegetables), got nothing but a bunch of sauteed green peppers and tons and tons of onions, not even cooked enough to eat. No other vegetables, no beans, no rice, served on a plate of wilted romaine lettuce leaves. read more

This was a great Mexican food restaurant. We used to eat twice a week here But now, it is the worst Mexican food I ever ate. I had meat and cheese Anchalitas. There was no meat in them and hardly any cheese and the beans were like water. They brought my food and it was cold. they had to reheat it in the microwave oven. We also had a Margarita drink that was $ 7.50 and it was all water and no mix... Our group loves Mexican food but this has to be the worst tasting Mexican food I have ever had. Save your money and do not eat at this place read more

My coworker visits one of their other locations fairly regularly and suggested I give Casa Real a try. While the decor is kind of cute and the service was good, that is pretty much where it all ended. We ordered a few different things from the menu to get a feel of the place. Now it is common to fill up on chips and salsa so much to where you don't finish your meal, this wasn't the case. The beef was super greasy (think like wringing out a wet towel) and the cheese they used just made things worse. The chicken in the burrito was pretty delicious, though. After a few bites of the variety we ordered and it felt like we had boulders sitting in our stomachs. So uncomfortable and sick feeling. We ended up just throwing away our leftovers because of how it made us feel the day before. Our server was amazing though! Super friendly and knowledgeable when we had questions. The food, just wasn't for us. read more

Slop. Some of the worst Mexican food we've had. This was our first (and last) time trying Casa Real and were hoping to have found a hidden gem. No such luck. Luckily the draft beer is very cheap. They start by bringing chips and salsa. No handmade chips here, just the $.99 version you buy at any store. We ordered burritos and a chimichanga. Neither were good. The chimichanga was not friend long enough so it was all soft. The waitress brought the plates and when she went to put it down, the "beans" almost came off the plate. They were disgusting and essentially just brown water. There were no beans at all-just some sort of slimy liquid. The waitress apologized and said that is what the cook had been sending out of the kitchen all day. We were hungry and time constrained so we ate what we could and got out of there. read more

I was looking forward to trying the place. Waitress was friendly and the place was about 20 % full. Not great. Service was decent but I ordered cheese enchiladas and honestly worst I hav had in a long time. Not hot when served. Not much enchilada sauce. The sauce there was was bland. the cheese wasn't great by any means. I have had this cheese before but can't put my finger on a name. I'm sorry people. I will not be back. $11 for 3 enchiladas with a little bit of beans and rice is a decent price. But in my opinion if you don't enjoy it then it is not worth it. read more

So we called 3 times for a reservation and no one answered so we decided to just drive there in hopes for the best! We pulled in and I swear it looked like an abanded party store but with a full lot of cars. Watch where you drive though because the parking lot needs alot of work! Crazy pot holes and probably the worst I've ever seen at a place of business! For the parking lot being full when we walked in there was only one table of older ladies! Service was okay, I swear there was only one person working in the whole business! For the service points she did spilling my margarita on me and brought out 2 plates and took about another 5 minutes for everyone elses! I will say it was decent Mexican and very reasonable lunch prices! But not sure if I'll be back! The ambiance wasn't really for me! read more

Casa Real - Chicken burrito - Mexican Near Me - Madison Heights, Michigan

The food is great, but they only have 1 waitress for the whole place. So the wait is rather long for anything ....to get waited on, to get a drink, because she's also the bartender and heaven forbid if u need something, you have to flag her down. The food is great, but the service is terrible read more

Not only because I am Mexican It suppose that I love Mexican food. Well that's not the case I love good Mexican food. I am a fan of fajitas and tacos. I really like in this place the fajitas not salty not dry are juicy and in the exact potion. The amount is huge so be prepare for taking leftovers home. I love micheladas with corona. read more

My husband and I were looking for some good Mexican and didn't want to go to Detroit. We opted for Casa Real because it had such good reviews. I think people have never been to Mexican Village so don't know what authentic Mexican is, or they were being gracious. To start, the service. No one was taking names. We were waiting (along with 2 other groups) for about 10 minutes before someone in another group asked about it. It was disorganized. Our waitress was friendly. We asked for recommendations and she didn't have any. Now the food. Prices were good, portions were pretty big. Taste and quality were good, but not worthy of a 4 or 5 in my opinion. They put a cheese sauce on so many of their dishes, leaving them soupy. The flavors were quite bland in my dish. I got a combination that had a ton of stuff. Chicken burrito, beef burrito, taco, tostada, chili relleno, tamale, beans, and rice. Taco and beef burrito were the only two that had enough flavor to me. To wrap this up, I'd give it another shot some day, but I'm in no rush. read more

The Decour is charming. The food is real good. The service can be slow when it gets really busy so try to go at non-traditional dining times. Prices are really a bargain. Best Mexican food within a 15 mile radius. read more

We were so looking forward to a fantastic meal on Saturday May 4. The food and service we received on previous visits was amazing. We arrived after 9 and saw numerous cars in the parking lot....good sign! We walked up to the door only to be told they are closed. We could see people inside enjoying food and drink. We inquired why they were closed at 9pm when the hours said open until 11. The reply was that the next day was cinco de Mayo and they were going to be really busy. So disappointed along with a handful of other guests in the parking lot trying to find another Mexican restaurant. I'm not sure what goes on at this establishment. I would think turning away guests would not be a good way to do business. Also the sign out front boasts its open 7 days a week yet it was closed in the middle of the day today. We won't be back! read more

Me and the honey wanted to try to find a Mexican restaurant near the new place. Requirements: big plates, good guac, and good margaritas. While Casa Real had the big plates down, they severely missed in flavor and quality of food and drink. The margaritas were all mix, and not even good mix at that. The food was clearly pre-made from the freezer and reheated, the chips were stale. Sour cream was watery, guac was salty, burrito was nasty. I could go on and on, but God bless the one waitress they had on staff cause she ran like an Olympic champion. Overall, the effort was here but nothing good to eat. Do not try. read more

The workers were very nice. The food was good. There's also a nice drink menu. We went on a Sunday night so it was pretty quiet, but I really enjoyed my food. They do offer traditional tacos, but they weren't on the regular menu. Don't be afraid to ask. read more

I can never figure out why this place isn't busier. The food is fantastic and the service is always good. I recommend the house margaritas!

My wife and I ate here this evening. The menu selections are numerous and they even had a vegetarian section of the menu which made my wife happy. The food was excellent, the service was prompt and friendly, the margaritas were fantastic, and the decor is colorful. The restaurant was clean. We will definitely be returning!! read more

This place has gone downhill in a big way. A couple of months ago, a friend and I met for dinner here and we waited over an hour and our dinner never came. We ended up walking out. We decided to give it another shot for lunch today, and it wasn't much better. There was only 1 waitress and it is a Tuesday lunch hour. Granted, it was not crowded. Including our table, there were a total of 5 tables. The chips were stale. My friend ordered a large margarita and was given a small. Her chicken burrito came out and it was a beef burrito. It had to be sent back because she does not eat red meat. My nachos came out 40 minutes after my friends meal was served. When her correction was made to her burrito, it came out burnt. It was literally one thing after another. Sorry, you have lost 2 customers. We will not be returning. read more

Big portions!!! WOW I am full! Had the steak fajita salad and the chicken soup. This soup will be my go to when I'm sick, sad, celebrating and/or otherwise. Heaven in a bowl. The salad was just averagely great but MASSIVE. read more

I now live in Phoenix, Az and when I come to visit family, after a few days I need to eat some authentic Mexican food. This restaurant is very authentic and the food is great! Not Tex-Mex! Service is great, too! read more

I would've given them 5 stars but their new waitstaff isn't that great. I've only had one good waitress in the last few months. They stand at the front of the restaurant and talk, making it difficult to get their attention. Aside from that, I LOVE this place. Their food is incredible. We come several times a month and I don't see that changing anytime soon! read more

This is the closest to a Cantina place, beer at an affordable price and really good appetizers, same way as a Cantina. Don't miss asking for the ground beef sopes, those are real Mexico flavor. Any type of carne asada or parrillada are good as a main entree. read more

This was one of our favorite places to go, until today. Sticky floors, a grungy menu, and a waitress who was clearly miserable should have made us leave, but alas, we didn't. When I received a skunked draft beer and told the waitress there was something wrong with it there was no 'sorry' or 'we'll check it' - **2 of us tasted it to be sure** I requested a different draft and clarified that the original is my favorite kind, so it's not that I didn't like the brand/type, and suggested the keg/draft needed to be checked. No response/acknowledgement. As for food, an order for a beef & cheese quesadilla resulted in receiving ground beef between 2 flour tortillas warmed in a microwave; no cheese, not grilled. Waited for bill. Eventually waved-down waitress & requested a bill. Waited. Received it but original (undrinkable) beer still appeared on tab. Requested a revised bill. Waitress didn't return to the table. Eventually went to her at hostess stand and requested again; a new bill was (literally) tossed in front of me. I don't know what has happened to this place. If our waitress is THAT miserable and the quality of food & drinks has diminished THAT much, it's sad. We will not be going back and we will no longer recommend. read more

I got a burrito with a piece of bone or something in it that chipped my tooth. It's a tooth that was chipped before and the repaired part chipped, but yeah, be careful. read more

After waiting about an hour for a table on Cinco de Mayo, I was ready to order the tacos I was craving all day. The waitress said, "We don't have tacos on the menu today because it's Cinco de Mayo and we don't want the kitchen to get too crazy." Ummmmmm. No tacos at a Mexican restaurant on Cinco de Mayo? Literally the easiest thing to make? You already have all the ingredients? So many questions?? Another time I went with a group of friends on a day where it was pretty much empty and it took around 40 minutes to get our drinks and chips and salsa, and then I was given the wrong drink and had to wait longer after that. This place has potential, but so far I've been disappointed. (Seriously....no tacos on Cinco de Mayo. Let that sink in. I was surprised she didn't tell me they weren't doing margaritas because they didn't want to waste any tequila or something.) read more

Stopped up here last week when we had some friends visiting... it was a Thursday about 6 pm. The waitress was extremely attentive but not annoying. Quickly brought out just ok salsa and warm chips. She made sure all of our drinks stayed full and we were throwing her some serious mix changes! We started our order with a queso fundido, which was the authentic style that I am used to from Mexico but it was decent. The portions were large! One member at the table had the seafood platter (it was $18.99 and we had plenty of food left over), I did the two tacos for $4.99 and could not finish both! Hubby had a combo platter, ate like a little piggy, loved it and still had left overs.... Although I cannot remember what the other member at the table ate- he loved it. Appetizers, meals, plenty of drinks, no specials and the bill was $79... not bad! We will be back! read more

Went there this pass sunday, the hostess/waitress/server was extremely forgetful I had to get my own glass to drink out of. The prices were the only thing that was good, the food was late and very cool, the burrito with the shredded chicken taste like it came out of a can I haven't ate the "beef" yet at least I know that it will be hot. Something told me to turn around when people were walking out, so if you want to wait this is the place for you. read more

We loved Juan's and were so bummed when we saw they were closed! But after trying Casa Real, we were pleasantly surprised to discover they had such delicious food! The menu was different from Juan's - it seems like they have more of a traditional Mexican menu, not that I would really know - but there is a wide variety of dishes, and not just tacos, burritos and whatnot. We have eaten here three times and our food as been great each time. On our last visit, they were very full and the wait staff seemed overwhelmed. When we sat down the people at the tables near us were being very vocal about their disappointment with the service. Our server was apologetic for the slow service and treated us well. We don't expect to super fast service during dinner time on a weekend, so we had no problems with it. If you want fast food, go to McDonald's! A word of advice: stay away from the melon margarita... but the peach and strawberry are both amazing! read more

First off, I would like to say I am only giving a two star because the blonde waitress did an amazing job. I have been coming to this location, when it was Juan's Hacienda, for 19 years. So when I drove by and saw it had changed, I was heartbroken to say the least. I decided to try it, hoping the food would still be the same. I went with two friends, we were the only people in the restaurant. They added booths, which I enjoy. But the decor is tacky to say the least. I never had to ask for a refill on my water, or chips. I ordered a chicken quesadilla, I made sure to ask if there were onions or peppers, and I was told the chicken was cooked with onions but you couldn't taste them. What I got was literally the most disgusting quesadilla in my life. It was one quesadilla, decent size, but not enough to fill you up. It was mostly chicken and not much cheese. There were chunks of red and brown things inside. I have no idea what the brown things were, but it was chewy, like mushrooms. The meat tastes completely like onions. The cheese was a liquid texture that had solidified. I tried covering it with sour cream, but I just couldn't eat it. The waitress did offer to bring me something else, but I declined. She asked if anyone else wanted it before taking it up and my friend took a bite. He said it tasted like a cheesy chicken noodle soup. One friend got the chicken burrito, which she said was good but she would probably not come back because she prefers Mexican Town. My other friend got the steak fajitas, which were so chewy and charred. I am still shocked he ate them. I will usually try a place twice before I write a review, but I just can't bring myself to go through that experience again. Please bring back Juan's! read more

Very attentive service from Jaak. Ample portion of guacamole. Nice mojito! However, the Burritos Los Panchos were very dry as if someone is trying to create a so called healthy menu by squeezing every last drop of fat out of the chicken. Unfortunately they squeezed most of the flavour out too. I'll have to try the wet burrito next time, if I return. Guys! heart disease is caused by Inflammation not by fat. read more

Great Mexican food! My husband and I decided to stop here for dinner last night and were very happy we did! The margaritas were awesome and the food was delicious and had plenty for lunch and dinner today! read more

Excellent food, way beyond expected for the area. My only complaint was our male server who over talked me and was impatient, if he listened more and slowed down a bit, 5 stars. Cool decor (seats) I'll be back for sure. Good stuff, recommended. read more

Tried this last night- very clean and friendly. Not as "fried and heavy" as Juan's. Felt and tasted fresh! I had chicken enchiladas and my husband had a combination plate (HUGE) and both were pretty good! Margaritas were tasty too but next time will give the guac a go. Yum! Parking lot is still super tight but what can you do. read more
