Out of all the places you can go for Mexican in the area they are just a miss for me- I've never had a "bad" experience but the quality just isn't there for me. I will say the staff is very nice. read more

The frozen margaritas were very good. My only complaint would be I wish they came in more flavors. The queso was great. A little more in the dish would be nice. It was small and cooled off fast. All meals were delicious. We had a variety of different things including salads, fajitas and enchiladas. Plenty of chips and salsa also. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I would not say this is my favorite Mexican restaurant but I don't think you will be disappointed! Don't forget they have daily lunch specials til 3:00 pm! read more

Love this place the food is good and the service is good, very consistent everytime I go

Chicken fajita quesadillas. A classic--these guys (Casa Real) really pulled it off! The person @ the front was very kind and polite. The atmosphere is also really vibrant read more

Had a wonderful lunch experience here on a Friday afternoon. The service was lovely and prompt! Chimichangas were incredible and you cannot beat these portions- pictured is the LUNCH special. So pleasantly surprised. Enchiladas were amazing with special green sauce on top. We got a to-go order placed as well to take home and it came out at the perfect time with our meals too. So happy to find such a yummy and fast new restaurant!! read more

Casa Real - Chicken Chimichanga Lunch Special - Mexican Near Me - Schenectady, New York

Food was good but was pricy. I know things are higher than normal but $35.00 for a burrito and cheese quesadilla seems a bit high.

Such a strange experience. I ordered Camarones Ranchero based on the description in the menu. Should've had a salad with it but it didn't get that and what I did get was grilled shrimp and plain rice with a gallon of queso on it. It tasted ok I guess, very bland- but that's not what I was expecting to get. My husband ordered a dish that included 3 different kinds of chimichangas. He got that but they weren't deep fried and there weren't very many beans. Also, there was another gallon of queso dumped on everything. Not sure what was going on. The service was good, the place was clean with nice decor and ambiance. We were both so confused by our food we were second guessing whether or not this was how it was supposed to be. Probably not Going to return, I can do better myself. read more

Love this place. Friendly servers and excellent food. The portions are generous and the price is very fair. It won't kill your wallet while you're enjoying a fine Mexican dinner. Highly recommend Casa Real. Don't let the exterior facade fake you out. What's inside is a prize! read more

Decided to go out with the family and have some Mexican. Keep in mind, I've had really delicious Mexican since I used to live in Texas. If you know that type of real Mexican food I'm talking about, this may not be up your alley. But it is close for NY standards. Simple and traditional mom and pop Mexican restaurant. The menu is extremely overwhelming, but the prices are reasonable. For three large entrees, and drinks, we paid around $50. Very large portions. I got the chicken fajita and my husband the quesadilla dinner. Everything comes with refried beans and rice. They waitstaff was very timely. It was impressive considering how busy they were. read more

This is the second location for Casa Real, and in my opinion ~ the best one! When you first walk in they have a great bar with plenty of tv's to catch a game. The main dinning room has plenty of seats and tables, and a private banquet room in the back for larger events. The service is absolutely fantastic, and the food even better. We had beer served in ice cold mugs (Always a bonus), and the chips and salsa were as delicious as I remember from their other location. For dinner I had the fajitas, which is always my go-to at casa real, and everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I went for the Fajita Jalisco ($15.99), which came with steak, chicken, and shrimp. The portion was large enough that I had a full lunch the next day with all the leftovers! Definitely recommend this place for families, couples, and everyone else in the capital district! read more

Terrible food...this is not Mexican food or Latin food! Throwing some ground beef into a tortilla and pouring canned sauce over it does not make it Mexican food. And using supermarket taco shells for your tacos is shameful. Also using store bought chips terrible why are you not making fresh chips and fresh taco shells? Very disappointed in overpriced not fresh chips or taco shells with bland ground beef. Also beans and rice bland. Total expensive disappointment read more

I always enjoy coming here whenever I'm Craving Mexican food! The staff is always friendly and accommodating! The food is always delicious! I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a New Mexican place to try out! read more

The food was excellent, i had the super chimichangas which consisted of 3 different ones, shrimp, steak and chicken. The shrimp and chicken were the best. I'm only giving three stars because the service was pretty slow. We asked to have another minute to look at the menu and then she disappeared for over 15 minutes before returning. The margaritas were pretty basic and lacking any real flavor, tasted like straight out of a pre mix. But besides the bad margs and service the food was great and at a really good price point. read more

Cute little place in a strip mall. The food was wonderful and I have been dying for some Mexican food since I've returned from a 5 year long stay in Bombay. The chips and salsa were polished off and we asked for the "house spicy salsa" and holy shmokes, it was super spicy. I couldn't eat it. Nice homey little place, the bathroom is clean, and the food was great. What better reason to visit. read more

This is Casa Real's second location. I have to say that it's just as good as the original. Atmosphere, food, service all excellent. I hope this location does well since it is so close to my home. read more

Ordered an hour and twenty minutes prior to pick-up. They were happy to accommodate. Once there I was forced to wait over a half hour for them to mess up my entire order. Unfortunate because the food is good but orders are embarrassingly mismanaged. They offered a gift certificate to reciprocate. read more

Amazing as always!! Love this place always amazing food for such a low price. Shredded Chicken is amazing, burritos are great tacos are amazing. Will always love this location better than alt ave. Forever customer right here!!! read more

I have been here several times and always enjoy the food. The menu is quite large and I do find it hard to tell the difference of one item to the next but, I have always been please with my order. I usually go for lunch so the service is good and the place isn't packed. I do enjoy the homemade chips I just wish they were a little more salted. If you want a quite meal of good mexican food I would definitely recommend this place. read more

This past Cinco de Mayo I went to order from the website for a 7:30 pick up. After getting through the entire process and trying to pay, I got a message saying I could not place an order for a later pick (even though the site had taken all this info.) So instead I called (this was about 4pm) and was told they couldn't take an order for late pick up. OK so I waited until 6:30 and placed the order online. When I got to the restaurant it was packed. I got in line with several others who were picking up. Only problem was they didn't have the orders. I showed them my approval on my phone and they went scurrying to find it. Meantime I noticed an email saying the order was canceled (even though they had charged my card.) so now I placed the order with the hostess and was told it would be done quickly. I suggested they give me a complimentary margarita for my trouble which everyone was drinking. They looked at me like I had two heads and continued at their very busy pace. Then they told me I couldn't wait at the bar and to go outside. After about 25 minutes I went back in and the order was ready, oh, and did I still want a margarita? Uh, no. When I get home not only was the meal underwhelming but one entree wasn't in the bag!! I called and the manager took my name and told to come another time for a replacement. I've since called a couple times to try to just get a credit to my card but there's never anyone with authority to do so. At this point I'm chalking it up to a sunk cost. I understand they were unprepared for the holiday onslaught and perhaps on another day I wouldn't have had such a bad experience. I hate giving bad reviews but I feel it is necessary here and I will not be shopping there again. read more

My enchiladas were ok. My partner's meal looked amazing. I think they had good mexican with great service. Just need to try a different dish next time. read more

The REAL deal for authentic Mexican. Served in a welcoming environment, the food is excellent and plentiful. The offerings are varied, but everything I've tried is fit for a king. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Great value too. read more

Finally made it here after a couple of recommendations. Excellent food, excellent service, will definitely be back. Had the Burrito fajita Real with chicken, came with beans and rice. So good!! Decent margaritas and you can get a pitcher of them, although we didn't this time. Two entrees with a corona and a marg and it was under $40! read more

We ordered takeout last week and I was really disappointed. My bf goes there for lunch and really likes it but I can't say the same. While the rice and refried beans were really good, my chicken chimichanga was actually RIDICULOUS. It was a tortilla with only shredded chicken, nothing else inside, including seasoning. It wasn't baked or fried. It almost seemed like someone was in a hurry and put plain shredded chicken (which was surprisingly moist & not dry) in a folder tortilla. I couldn't believe I paid for this! read more

Casa Real .... SLOW. I really wanted to like this restaurant, but three strikes and they are out for me: 1. Our order consisted of two adult and one child entrées and it took over an hour to get our food from when we ordered. 2. There were very few servers for the number of people in the restaurant. We saw our server once and then she didn't come back for about 20 minutes. When I asked her if they forgot order she just said they are very busy and it was another 20 minutes. 3. The food was OK. I'm from the south so I have a high standard for Mexican food and it was not terrible but not memorable either. read more

Although the food is amazing and the staff is kind, the wait times can be a bit of a doozy! Some nights food can be ready within minutes. Other nights, like tonight, the utter lack of communication and speed to get us our food was amazing. Overall I love this place, but tonight, after every time we ordered or asked for something, there was a long wait time, and at the end they forgot our takeout order! Don't let this steer you away from going here for a nice meal, just be prepared to wait a little bit. read more

Went back last night for the $3.99 margarita special - quite a few people in for that and the fajita discount. My daughter and I ordered from the a la carte section and we loved the generous portion. I had the chicken quesadilla and she had an enchilada but subsituted green sauce for the red. BFhad the Guadalajara burrito which he also enjoyed. It was a great midweek stop and our bill was very reasonable. Glad to have this place so close to home. read more

Was a little skeptical at first since it's in a small little strip mall; but after reading some reviews. Walk in and had lunch. They had lunch specials and it was good. Wasn't busy on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Not good! Tried it a few times and each time is worse. Taco salad has no flavor and runny. Quesadillas are made with what taste like American cheese slices??? Best part is beer and chips and salsa. read more

Love this restaurant . It's immaculate and newly renovated. The menu is great and very good . The only thing I tried twice was the Mexican Chicken Soup which was really salty .I tried a second time because I thought maybe there was a mistake but just wanted to let anyone know who has high blood pressure or that is watching your salt intake. I miss the cilantro in the salsa. read more

Love the place! Cozy atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Love, love, love the fajita nachos! Huge portion more than enough for two three or four people. Two of us had it for an entree. They really need to improve on their Margarita drinks. They don't taste fresh. Basically poured out of a premade bottle I suppose. The mango margarita was pretty bad as well. This particular location in the strip mall has been the kiss of death. I truly hope this is not the case with Casa Real. This area truly needs a neighborhood place to go for a quick bite or to meet friends. I was happy to see that on a recent night the place was pretty full with a variety of patrons. Couples, families, friends. Everyone seem to be enjoying themselves. Good Luck Casa Real! Please get those margaritas under control. read more

This was my first time here, my fiancé and I have a new favorite restaurant. We both had the chicken chimichangas (without the guac/pick/lettuce so it might look not as colorful as it's supposed to) and they were amazing. The food is great, the service is quick with a smile, and the restaurant was very clean. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested! read more
