First off went on a Saturday evening around 6:30 pm and the place was busy but I was able to wait less than 10 mins and get a table. The service was stellar as my server kept checking on me and got my order right. The portions are on the larger side (at least for the nachos supremos. My waiter refilled my drink a few times without having to ask and brought me extra napkins. The ambiance was really fun! They came out a few times and sang happy birthday to a few tables during the time I was there and everyone joined in! Yelp won't allow me to pist a video but I got one of everyone singing and having a good time. I also included a photo of a different time I went and the result was still the same, great service, large portions and friendly staff. read more

Dinner today at Casa Real in Sandusky, Ohio was really good! I got #34 the Chimichangas and my husband got #25 the Burrito Tipicos. Both entrees were very good, as well as, the chips and salsa. We ended our meal with the Sopapilla & Ice Cream which was delicious! And to top it all off, service was stellar! read more

Casa Real - 25. Burrito Típicos - Mexican Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Casa Real is a typical Tex-Mex place that caters to the tourist / locals crowd. It's cramped but cozy enough with lots of eye challenging colors. The service was fast and friendly but didn't include a check back until I was done eating. So why only 3 stars? Now, 2 soft chicken tacos for $4.99 seemed like a decent deal until I got them. For some reason, they were both made totally different. Now, the chicken on both were really juicy and tender, but one had a little lettuce, a small piece of cactus, and a tablespoon's worth of cheese. The other had hardly any lettuce, lots of crumbled white cheese, and nothing else. There was no onion or cilantro. Yup, not Mexican at all. I got Taco Bell'd and they got 3 stars. read more

Food was just ok. Parking lot was full so we had high hopes of great food. Service was extremely slow. Took about an hour to get 1 plate of food. They need to work on it. read more

Great Mexican food, generous portions. Very friendly staff and great service. Highly recommended.

So I'm entirely conflicted about a rating for this establishment. We initially came here 10 years ago with only two children and I left a review through tripadvisor. I rated them very high due to their prices and vegetarian options. However, I was not as fortunate this time. Perhaps it was only because of our waiter, but this experience stunk. I came with my husband and four children with high hopes. It already started off rough when we were seated and our waiter did not bring us chips and salsa even after we ordered a half pitcher of margaritas as well as waters for the children. When I asked him for some, he asked us if we needed "more"? What? I told him we didn't receive any to begin with. Upon ordering, I inquired if the rice and beans were vegetarian or were they made with chicken stock and lard. He responded they were not vegetarian. Interesting considering they have a separate vegetarian section. I asked a different associate the same question and she promptly went into the kitchen in order to inquire. She informed me the rice was not, but the beans were. Why couldn't our own server do this? I then ordered a wet vegetarian burrito for myself as well as a cheese enchilada kids meal for my son. Both arrived with meat. Wtf. The other members of my family ordered shrimp tacos, shrimp burritos, steak street tacos, and a cheese quesadilla kids meal. Their meals were all perfect and they had no complaints. My correctly made meal was pretty small, actually. Not worth $12, for sure. And I did not trust the beans as a veg head as I tasted an off taste. We then ordered two fried ice cream dishes which were adaquate. The worst part being when I received the check. There were two $1 discrepancies from the stated menu, which were corrected once I had to point them out. Based on this recent experience I'm unsure if I would return. Fond memories, but I personally had a poor experience. read more

The food was delicious! The menu is huge - traditional favorites and many interesting and unique options. Everything was delicioso. The portions were grande. Maria provided outstanding service - super friendly, polite, and attentive. The decor and music were perfect. Perfecto! Muchas gracias! read more

Use Yelp app to get here and it was worth it. Lightning speed service and all food was hot and fresh. Still not on my top five (5) true Mexican restaurants but falls on my personal top 10 list. Would definitely recommended and come back again. The chips and salsa, though not spicy at all, was pretty decent. Loved my tacos in corn tortillas. Ratio of price to portions is low which always is a good factor. The average rating out of a group of 5 was 4 . read more

We were looking to try a local restaurant, as part of our trip to Sandusky. We had seen the sign "best margaritas" in town, so we decided to give Casa Real a try for dinner. We ordered two Mole Poblano entrees and a chicken quesadilla off the children's menu, with a 20 oz margarita. The frozen lime margarita was awesome. The mole poblano was also flavorful. We were impressed with the amount of chicken in the quesadilla and that it was good quality for a kids meal. We also had the fried ice cream for dessert. Everything was great! We found the prices to be very reasonable as well. We would definitely recommend it to other families and would come back again. read more

We were looking for an outdoor eating place and friends recommended Casa Real. Looks nothing special from the outside, but service and food made this a great stop. Our server was wonderful and got us everything timely, and sometimes before we even knew we needed it, like refill on water. They provided us chips and salsa while we waited to order and it was good. I only looked at the lunch menu, and it was extensive. I chose the two chicken enchiladas with rice along with a Modelo beer. The enchiladas were full of chicken and the sauce was good. The rice was cooked perfectly. Others in our group were happy with their meals as well. read more

The fact they put Real in the name made me laugh as I really haven't found too much legit or Real Mexican food in this state but to be fair as well as honest this is actually very good for what it is and also the reason I've been here more than once. Of the few times I've been here the service has been steady and as for what I've ordered it's all about the Ohio Special as it comes with a chilli relleno, a tamale, a chimichanga, and an enchilada all of which have the red sauce on them as well as that queso that seems to be the thing to put on top around here. The whole plate is pretty good as well as filling so much so that I find myself bringing some home to enjoy later on as for the other item I've gotta here the beef quesadillas they were yummy as well a little bit salty but definitely not bad but I think I'll stick with the Ohio special it's more my style. As for other things here only time will tell if I decide to try them a for my friends who have came here with me they Aaliyah have enjoyed what they have ordered as well. Overall decent Mexican food with some chips and salsa and you know I'm always down for that goodness so it's for the reasons listed here that I'm sure I'll be back here again at some point! read more

This was a welcome stop after a long day bouncing around at Cedar point. We arrived to find the restaurant a little overrun with various large parties. Nevertheless we were seated right away, and a large bowl of wonderful chips and salsa was brought out. The wait time for the food was a little excessive, but we understood as the kitchen had been a bit overrun with the large groups of people. My son indicated the fish tacos were terrific, but he would've preferred if they had been prepared with a little bit less lettuce. The chicken (pollo loco) plate that I had was terrific, great fresh cheese sauce, and beans and rice made the right way. The chicken was perfectly tender, and the flour tortillas clearly had been made fresh that day. We were out the door for less than $35 with tip, definitely a great value in a town full of expensive restaurants. Would gladly come back! read more

Plenty of menu suggestions to suit just about everyone. Not a large restaurant, but we had no trouble getting a table and parking at 5 PM on a Friday. Food and service were both good enough to return again. read more

Most of the servers were good. Ours seemed bothered to be there. Food was ok. I go the shrimp fajitas w extra veggies - I think they charged me $2 for the extras which was fine but I think that included the extra oil - way too much oil. Shrimp was pretty fishy tasting/smelling. read more

Solid Mexican restaurant in Sandusky. All the favorites plus a dedicated vegetarian section featuring a blend of grilled zucchini. Vegetarian molcajete which I have never seen before. Chile rellenos and shrimp fajitas were perfect. The nachos were kind of wimpy though. read more

Can I give MORE than five stars?? Several of us were in town for a convention back in May. We had been in town all week and were worn out by the expensive prices and not-so-good food at the convention center. So we elected to venture out of the resort for some Mexican food. AM I GLAD WE DID!! The reviews looked solid, so we landed on Casa Real. It was small and busy - oh, and COLD outside. We walked in, and the front area was packed. We put our name down, and they said 45 minute wait and asked if we could wait in our car or outside. Like fools, we waited outside. In t-shirts. In May. With a 48° temp and decent winds. After about 20 minutes, I walked back inside to see if we were moving up the list. This happened several times before the wait staff said, "You've been incredibly patient. I'll get you in next." That was a surprise, but she could see that were cold. : o) Now we could've gone anywhere else - Mexican food or not - but we were hell bent on Mexican food at this location. We could not understand why it was so busy. Many folks came in, saw the wait time, and left. Then it occurred to me when I looked at the shirts of the staff - we were there on Cinco de Mayo! What fools! Of all days to visit the small, quaint location was the one day you probably DIDN'T want to go due to how busy they were. But then we got in and got seated... Explosions of atmosphere, pure comedic behavior by our server (shorter male who was from out of state), and the food! Man, as good as our food was - dare I say the best Mexican food I've ever eaten?? - the server just sent it overt the top. He was so, so good. Timing was impeccable, attitude couldn't have been better, and he was b-u-s-y with multiple tables. My go-to is always ground beef enchiladas and tacos, but this day I got street tacos with shrimp. The others got a multitude of options as well. Everything we had, we were incredibly happy with the results. We all kept just saying, "MAN, that was great!" I would love, LOVE to have this in my hometown (many states away). But if I did, I would surely weigh in north of 300 pounds. Highly recommended, very authenticate, and quite possibly the best place to eat in Sandusky! read more

Pretty tasty Mexican spot not far from Cedar Point and open late. Tasty margaritas too! Stopped by here with friends on a Friday night and got a nice outdoor table. Food was pretty good and the waiter warmed up to us after a while. I ordered the steak salad and we had jalapeno poppers to share. Tasty and very affordable. I will be back! read more

Food was great, but the service we had was terrible. The waiter we had looked like he had a bad day. He sat us took our order, once some girl brought our food. The guy NOT once came back to see how was the food or if we need anything. He came back once we finished with the bill, didn't even say how was it or if we want dessert etc, just had a rude vibe about him. read more

If you are in this area there are much better places to visit than here. The chips that we had were all very stale, burnt, and had a slight taste of watermelon. I thought it was just me but everyone else agreed. None of the food was very good. The chicken and cheese dip were pretty good but the rice was over cooked and had a lot of hard pieces. There are many better places to eat in the area. read more

Mon Aug 5th 12noon. I come to Casa Real 3 times a year when we in Ohio on vaca and we go to this restaurant for breakfast, lunch & dinner for 30 yrs now with our family of 20 or more and it's always been great service! Today was the very 1st time that our waitress gave us the "WORSE" service ever! Our female waitress did everything wrong you can imagine from late food, wrong order, didn't complete our meals. Terrible service due to waitress! read more

I expected typical Tex-Mex broiler fare here. I was pleasantly surprised when a good number of the dishes at the meal were not just broiled cheese and goo... My camarones al diabla was seriously amazing. A wealth of flavors and textures. Spicy to be certain... like actually spicy 7 out of 10 hot. Not "We are gonna call this spicy for typical American tastes because most think two shakes of black pepper is impossibly hot and spicy"... The beans and rice were scooped from some large hot storage, but didn't taste like it. The other food items at the table were universally praised by the group. Even the broiler fare that needed refractory gloves to handle the plates... I like it here. I have been a few times now, and will be back! read more

Decided to try the place out because it was across the road from our hotel. The service was good and the food was even better. There's a lot of options when it comes to food and the portions are good. Very affordable for a family of 4! Will come back again when in the area. read more
