Went with a group of co-workers for lunch. Patio was didn't have enough space for our large group as there were only a few tables open so we sat inside. The service was relatively slow but done with a smile. Our drinks took awhile to arrive and they screwed up two of our orders, one minor and one major that caused that person to get their food very late. They were apologetic but didn't offer anything in the way of discount or free dessert. Several of us ordered the mac and cheese burrito because it sounded amazing. Was tasty, but very filling. The chips and salsa was tasty and while we ordered just one portion it was enough for the whole table to try some. Salsa was tangy and had a little heat. Most of the group enjoyed their food although some at the other of the end of the table were not as pleased but I couldn't speak to why. Overall not a bad place to eat but not good if you are in a time crunch. Probably won't be back for awhile but I can see really wanting to have that burrito again some day. read more

CASA Tempe - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I really like the food at this place but the service is not great. We let our waitress know that we were going upstairs and nobody came up to take our order so we went downstairs to get drinks. My friend was waiting at the bar to place our drink order and the bartenders were not pleasant to say the least. She is a VERY patient person so to see them blatantly rude to her was disappointing, especially when we just came from SunBar their sister restaurant that has great service! We went to Illegal Pete's instead and had margaritas there. I probably won't be going back to Casa. read more

This place is great for a burrito. But on the menu it specifically says no extra charge for beans and rice. I was charged $3.50 for EACH. When I tried to dispute it, i was shut down. Looked at the menu and it said $2.50 for each side. I felt RIPPED OFF. Good service but if you're going to advertise something for free- it should be FREE. Then to charge more than what's listed on the menu for a side!? Extremely disappointed. The cold sides were not worth the $7. read more

I do not leave bad reviews but I felt the need for this one. They are still open during COVID which is cool and I get it, I went there. I'd at least expect them to bide by the rules though. When you first walk up, the rules are stated and the 6 foot distance is implemented in line. Once you get in past line, it's a MESS. No one listens to the rules and no one pushes for a change. The waiter I had was such a jerk to my group. We are always respectful and patient but we waited a hour for our food and 25 minutes for our drinks and we could only see 4 other small groups there. Sadly, even the Bathrooms were a disaster too. Don't want to get into those details though. I highly recommend any other restaurant in the Tempe, Mill, area. Most of them are great and extremely accommodating to big groups AND Covid. read more

Crappy service, entitled and disrespectful staff, not worth spending a penny on this place. We ordered a round of 7 drinks, 3 of them had bugs in them. Tried charging $25 for a shitty tasting bucket that was undrinkable and was left full on the table. Management was just as disrespectful and unprofessional. They sure know how to ruin a good time. read more

This place needs to be closed!!! They can't answer their phones, you can't dance, and you can't dance sitting down either. Security guards are duchebags, and prices for drinks are just outrageous.! Poor customer service, and I was honestly robbed by them. They charged my card & had someone else sign for it!! They charged me for other people's drinks/ food. That I had no idea who they were.. $200 and I only had 3 drinks. read more

Don't let you in if you're wearing Jordans. Loosing out on business and no explanation. Comedy read more

CASA Tempe - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Probably one of the best bars on Mill. CASA has both an outdoor section that is more of a bar and an indoor section that is a club (typically only open on the weekends). The bucket drinks are a great deal and refills are only $5-6 if you feel inclined. Overall it's a good atmosphere although the music selection can be odd and outdated. I'd recommend finding a seat upstairs where it's also easier to get bar service. read more

CASA Tempe - Margarita bucket on Tuesdays for $8 - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

CASA used to be my favorite place on Mill Ave. I went there for lunch at least once a week because the Mac & cheese/ BBQ chicken/ coleslaw burrito was so freaking amazing esp with the salsa they used to make. I literally used to take everyone who visited me to CASA to eat this burrito with their salsa because I considered it to be an iconic food of Tempe. Today I finally went back to CASA after a long time because I was dyyying to eat this burrito again. I got there and was super disappointed to see that the entire menu has changed. I got the new carne asada / Mac & cheese burrito. Which was just astonishingly gross and chemically tasting. I took about 3 bites and boxed it up hoping my bf's stoner roommate will some day be high enough to consume what would otherwise be a sad waste of ingredients. Sad to say it but, RIP CASA. Only the buckets can save you now. read more

Avoid this place. They'll give you drinks with bugs and won't even apologize. They'll service you your drinks in buckets when you ordered a regular size and try to charge you for it. Service is crap read more

I turned 21 last week and I've gotten into Casa multiple times since then. Tonight, an asshole bouncer was working. It would have been fine if he had just denied me entrance but he was extremely rude about it, even to the point where he pushed me out of line. I'm from out of state and my ID is coming in the mail so obviously I had my old version of it. I showed him a picture of my passport and once again he pushed me out of line and then told me I needed a physical copy. Once again, I understand doing your job but also this bouncer was extremely rude for no reason. I hope that this improves in the future because as of right now my friends and I have no reason to come back. Also, there is never any reason for a bouncer to lay hands on anyone that isn't being physical with them first. Extremely disappointed in this establishment and I hope to see change in staff for the future. read more

CASA also has delicious fish tacos, so for an unforgettable Sunday afternoon, caipirinhas and fish tacos at Casa with Vinny is the way to go! read more

CASA Tempe - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I was in town to hang out with a friend and was taken to CASA. It's definitely a college bar, lots of college kids there. I really like there $10 bucket drink deal. At one point though they took our table to make room for more people which was odd. They took about 6 tables out which kind of sucked. read more

Teriyaki open tacos are well worth the price. The bartender was pretty chill too. Worth a visit! Update: The security really are as horrible as the reviews will lead you to believe. They offer water cups with lids, but you can't take them with you. After I dumped the liquid out, they still tried to yank the cup out of my hand! read more

CASA was once one of my favorite places in all of the valley. The vibes were great and the best part was their unique burritos. Just recently they've expanded their brand and opened a taco shop done the street. I came to the original CASA yesterday and EVERYTHING had changed. First, the waitress brought out a plastic tray with plastic forks, knives and napkins. 2.Their signature salsa is gone, and replaced with very watered down salsas with no flavor. 3..And this is worst part, their ENTIRE menu has changed. They have nothing from the original menu. Prices are higher and product is cheaper. For example, my favorite dish was the "Big Shrimpin" burrito previously. Now there are these taco plates and just 4 burrito options. Yesterday i got the Cabo Shrimp, which was disgusting. The rice was stale and crunchy. It was definitely old. The shrimp was way too over-seasoned as well. To me, it seems like they just bought way cheaper food in bulk, slashed the menu and now it tastes like a nasty chain restaurant. 4. When the waitress came for our plates, she dumped them in the trash right in front of us! Throughout our meal I was speaking with the waitress about the changes and she was disappointed too! I'm telling you, I used to go to this place if not every Sunday for brunch but at least every two weeks. No lie, the burritos WERE amazing. And it was cool to order the secret item of the chips and queso. It saddens me to write this review of a place I used to love. PLEASE MANAGEMENT AT CASA BRING BACK THE OLD MENU! The old menu was what got them where they are in the first place! Unfortunately, I won't be going back for food again, maybe some drinks. But I can go to any other place on mill now for a drink, this place was just unique. Thanks for reading. read more

I was in here for 45 minutes and talked with a lot of people. I made a lot of new friends here and I was getting along very well with these three girls when this bouncer (idk his name - chubby, brown skin, polite) came up to me and took my drink. He demanded me to come with him, so I obliged. He kicked me out because I had made a girl feel uncomfortable. I didn't hit on anyone, and I was a complete gentleman the entire time. I'm pretty sure it was this blonde girl who I had explicitly asked "Am I bothering you if I sit down here?" before hearing "No, please do!" and sitting down. I talked with her for 15 minutes, then decided that my time was better spent with someone else because she kept going on about past guys. She was pretty, but I care about personality more. I moved on to the girls that I connected well with and kept seeing her glance over at me. Was she jealous? Conflicted? Perhaps. She sounded like she doesn't know what she wants. She kept saying "I'm here for me" and all this weird religious jargon. Anyways the bouncer basically took her word over mine and white-knighted her.. I'm not saying it is because of his "disposition" but probably because if club policy. I'll be back tomorrow night and know who to avoid now. Great place for meeting people however! read more

pretty terrible staff all around. if i could give less than one star i would. there's a ton of bad talk about fake ids that are actually real. my friends have also gotten really sick from the drinks/food there. they had a decent dj the nite we went but not enough to save the terrible service read more

It's tiny and hard to find seats. I used to go there for the Mac N cheese burrito but now the taco shops is next store and doesn't make them anymore. The rooftop patio is plain. I don't really get why this place is hyped all the time. The location carries the whole thing. The beers are ok priced and that's about it read more

Walked out and this guy ran at me and threw my drink down. Was fine, however, it would have been super cool if He would have told me. After being half way through the cross walk he hurt my wrist. These guys are lucky they don't have a lawsuit but it might be coming....still can't believe this just happened read more

I went for a birthday party, it was during the day and it was pretty cool. It is a 2 story bar and grill. I'm giving it 3 out of 5 stars for two reasons: 1. There was only 1 waitress with at least 50 ppl waiting for service so she was super busy. 2. We've asked for certain things that was on the menu however, we were informed that they did not offer upstairs. We would have to go down stairs for what we wanted. So we had to settle for what they had upstairs. Their bucket drinks of Long Island were good. The drink will sneak up on you fast! All the drinks are made fresh, there are no mixers! read more

CASA Tempe - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The security that works here is awesome and the overall atmosphere during college football week is fun. However, the bartenders often take longer then they should, act lazy and the prices have gone up around 30% since 2016. Great atmosphere just consider a few things prior to going. Cheers! read more

Easily the best spot on mill, casual chill spot during the day with an amazing unique take on food (try the mac and cheese burrito its phenomenal), perfect spot to rage at when the sun goes down. They recently opened the 'Main Room' which is more more of a night club, killer set up, probably the best sound system on mill, great staff, check this place out! read more

What happened to this place?! Completely changed their menu to not appetizing food and now the margaritas come out of tap!!! Also, the waitress wouldn't take our food order, said we had to go to the bar. Excuse me? You won't take our food order, just the drinks? Very unfortunate because this used to be our go to place. read more

I went to Casa, ordered my first drink of the night and got squirted with a water gun by someone standing near the entrance of the bar. The water soaked my shirt, shorts, and some of the droplets landed in my crown and coke that I had just ordered. I got up and walked to the front and asked the guy who squirted me nicely to please not squirt me with the water gun. Turns out after I saw his t-shirt close-up, that he was one of the security guards (Jason). He explained that he was trying to squirt a female patron that was standing near me. I said no big deal man and please avoid squirting your gun my direction because some of the water landed in my drink and I'll have to order a new one. I returned to the bar and found my original watered down (literally) drink gone. As I was ordering the replacement, the same security guard came up and said I had to go and tossed his water gun at me. Pretty pathetic that I disrupted his attempt to score with one of the female patrons! At any rate, this was my first and last time visiting this establishment. Typically, immature and childish behavior on this level is attributable to a poor management style. Fortunately, I make enough money to go to LA or Las Vegas on the weekends which is where I will be going after I move to Phoenix in July and complete the purchase of my new house. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Just imagine if I had been tipsy or intoxicated.. He would have probably called Tempe police and tried to have me arrested. read more

I have now been there 3 times and each time is it getting worse and worse. They could possibly have the worst service of any restaurant I have ever been to. Last time I sat at the bar with a friend and watch our food sit on the counter for 10 minutes when the bartender finally turned around and realized there was food on the counter. Today we went and sat on the roof. We ordered at 12:15 and by 1:00 we were still waiting for our Mac and Cheese Burrito. The server told us they had a big party while the owner then came over and told us the health inspector shut the kitchen down for a half hour. Either way I will not be back. Only good if you have at least 2 hours to kill for lunch read more

The chips and salsa here are great. The salsa is homemade and you can taste it. Second, the atmosphere and location are casual and convenient. That's the end of the positives. As for the rest of the food, the carne asada tacos were made with "home made" tortillas that tasted 3 days old and meat that was cooked 3 times as long as necessary. It was like beef jerky wrapped in a dry corn husk. The mojito was incredibly weak and had not a hint of rum. The pastor sandwich was ok but forgettable. The management was worst of all. We were told by our server upon arrival that it was happy hour and beers were half off. When we received our bill, beers were full price. When the server was confronted he apologized and spoke with the manager; he returned to us saying there was nothing he could do and he fought for us. The manager never stopped by the table or said a word to our table about the miscommunication. Whoever the manager was today should be fired and ashamed for being a coward; you're an embarrassment. Bottom Line: do not go here. Take your money and go anywhere else. read more

Legitimately got kicked out for race. Ordered drinks with a girl and was arguing about who was paying because I was trying to pay and we got kicked out for causing a commotions lol. Attempted to prove sobriety and they didn't care. This place is run by absolute Morons go to varsity instead if you wanna have a good time. read more

C.A.S.A. how I have tried to like you. I would say I've been there 30+ times and certainly more than that if you consider it's previous life as Chronic Taco (same owner, same problems). For the purpose of this review I will stick to the outside bar since that is where I have spent of the majority of my time. I will start out with the one positive that the food here is fairly decent for inexpensive bar food. They have a creative twist on several entrees that make it worth the occasional stop in. Location-wise the sun makes it difficult to enjoy this place year around and it can be down right blinding during sunset. Location isn't what really kills this place though. It is the lack of any operational savvy by the management team and disengaged owner. I certainly see Scotty there fairly often but he never seems very interested in anyone other then his friends. I often joke when I get dragged here that they will certainly mess up my drink run out of a key ingredient (like soda water) or just in general make a mistake. However, it's not even the mistakes that kill this place for me. It's the horribly rude bartenders and managers. It's so bad it's almost funny. They give me someone else's credit card back and glare at me like it's my fault ? Ok C.A.S.A. . I've tried. I hope you are successful, but I just can't come here anymore. read more

Bouncer most likely won't let you in especially if you dress "different" Don't go out there if you want to have a good time. Try somewhere else. read more

Let me start by saying I've been Bartending and in the service industry for many years. Last Sunday my good friend and I went into CASA for our day off since we just worked our butts off all week Bartending. We go to walk into line, by this point we have probably had about 3 beers since 5 o clock and a shot. We got to their establishment at about 10 ish. Immediately we get told we can't go into the club because we were "intoxicated" which we were not heavily intoxicated like most young adults were in this establishment. We were in T- shirts, jeans, hats and sneakers. Still looked super cute though. We end up taking him into letting us in. We of course are about 5 years older than most of their crowd. We were under the assumption that they were judging us simply off of our age. We proceed to go to the bar to order a couple drinks. Let me just tell you the two times we did order drinks the bartenders were the most rude and mean people I have ever seen Bartending before EVER. After getting our drinks we made our way into the club area. We danced our butts off because again we were simply just having a good time. Making friends. Bought a couple people birthday shots and so forth. Of course I am hot and want some water at this point. So I kindly ask the bartender at the bar inside or the club area for a water. This jerk chugged his water bottle in front of me, slammed it onto the counter and says, "no but I can sell you one for $3.00". I was seriously so shocked I didn't know how to even react. First of all it's against the law in Arizona to decline anyone water. Second of all I am a bartender and probably Poor over 100 waters a night for customers at the club I work at. Mind you 75% of the time I get tipped $1.00-$5.00 for just one water. So paying for it was not the issue. The fact that he rudely chugged it in my face and demanded I had to pay really just shocked me. I pulled the manager aside and he honestly didn't have much to say about the situation. Not only were we singled out in the beginning of our experience. We then were treated poorly the whole time and denied a water, which again is against the law in Arizona. I could of been having a stroke or something seriously wrong with me. Maybe I was dehydrated from the day and dancing for the past hour. This is beyond the worst experience I have ever had at any bar ever before in my life. I have talked to multiple police offers, whom I work with 3 times a week at my night club. I asked them if it is illegal for them to deny me water and they all confirmed In Arizona it is against the law. Thank gosh there was nothing seriously wrong with me because this establishment would be not just worried about a bad yelp review. My family and friends will never again go to this establishment. Seriously disappointing And the plus side. The security guards were the most pleasant people ever. Which is really weird because they all make the less in this type of business. Matt and Garret were the security I dealt with and honestly they were the only people who deserved to be paid well that night!!! read more

Service is sketchy , didn't feel welcome here and I was so ready to get my to go order. I'm not threatening in any way shape or form, but from the bouncer to the dude taking my order I felt like my business was not appreciated. The tacos were also way too spicy, and my ex girl is from Mexico so I know you can make street tacos without the fire and still be flavorful. Beer was nasty! The whole place it just seemed really like an awkward display of bro macho and fake transplant that decided to make Mexican food at an open air bar with a Scottsdale touch of snobbery. I will not comeback 1 STARS read more

This place never fails at being just terrible. Don't get me wrong, love the mojitos, but dang is the service just BAD. I always try to give it the benefit of the doubt thinking that they have GOT to have things figured out by now, but I am always wrong. Always. Shall I explain why? Oh ok, if you insist. One of the first times I was there, I ordered a salad. Waited 10 min for silverware. 2 of the MAIN ingredients were not present (pomegranates and avocado) . When I asked why they said they were out of pomegranates, and didn't know why the avocado wasn't on it. So they bring me the avocado, and might I add that it was 10 minutes AFTER I finished the wimpy salad. When I get my bill, guess what I was charged for...A SIDE OF AVOCADO. I voiced my issues to my server, and then never saw him again. Then drinks took forever, when it was not even busy. I just had it. I have never been so baffled with the service at a restaurant so I asked to speak to the manager just simply to tell him how things were going so he was aware of how things were being handled. Let's just say he wasn't good with constructive confrontation. Went there the other day and had the same lousy experience. BUT I do want to say that our server JAMILA was really nice and on top of things for our table. Just a few side notes of things that surprised me. 1. 3 dollars for ROX. 2. Signage of deals for the day/hour are not clear. 3. The amount of ice they crush into the glass is very overwhelming. We ordered the buckets and it was all ice! I was bummed with how much of a buzz I didn't experience. read more

Don't come out of the bathroom brown. Literally walked out of the bathroom and had security on me. He said I had to leave I said why, he says uhhhhh security said your intoxicated. Funny considering I had nothing to drink and was the DD but ok. I said don't take too long thinking about that and security might think you are too. Make sure you're extra white when you come. Jerks. read more

I am sitting here as I type this. I finally got a beer after 8 minutes of sitting at the bar -- they are NOT busy. I waited another bunch of minutes to get bartender to take my food order . A whole bunch of employees just talking to one another. Wish I left instead of torturing myself with this social experiment. Spend you money somewhere else. I will say the food was very good. read more

Came there for my friends 21st and was mortified. My friend had 3 shots and was completely fine but rejected at the door for being too drunk. So disgusted because she wasn't even buzzed. Never coming to this shit hole again. Get a better dj you pretentious shrillex jack off read more

I came here for the food on a Thursday night. I've actually tried to come a few times previously with friends, but my friends always vetoed it because it is really REALLY loud most of the time. Finally I came by myself and it really wasn't too loud. I wanted to try the vegan options. I had a vegan plate and it was really good! The drink prices were good too. I'll probably be back to try more vegan options in the future. read more

I'm giving one star because of their anti firearms policy. Even after speaking with the owner about it, he explained to me that if he didn't have the sign up that Tempe police would bully him. I find that very hard to believe. This is Arizona for gods sake. He also tried to tell me he was for firearms and was an ex navy seal. When I asked him where he was stationed and his M.O. He had just told me "around the world" I find it hard to believe he was stationed anywhere. I will not return until he stands up for our right and takes that sign down. read more

This place has a really cool atmosphere but after my experience last night I don't think I'll be coming back. I was out with two girls from out of town and one security guard in particular, a taller Caucasian bald male, was extremely rude and made our whole group feel so uncomfortable. He kept staring at our group and making comments to the other security guards- even tried to come up to us and talk with one of my friends. I understand people may stare when your out, but the level he took it to was excessive. I honestly feel too creeped out to go back. read more

The only reason I'm giving C.A.S.A 2 stars is because the outside patio is an awesome place to go hang out during the day - good food, good drinks, great staff. At night (at least in the lounge) I will NEVER go back. I payed $6 for a margarita and it tasted like straight ass. You are a professional establishment...how do you mess up something as easy as a margarita? That shit was undrinkable. It somewhat resembled a combination of milk and orange juice. When I asked the bartender to taste it, he refused and just poured another shot into it and told me to quit complaining. Pouring more tequila in it is not going to make it taste better. I'm not one to complain but it really was that bad. Both myself and my friends that I was with ended up leaving pretty much our entire drinks. Bottom line: you are a Mexican restaraunt and you still managed to fuck up something near and dear to my heart. read more
