Very busy place (noisy), fabulous & attractive entrees, good cocktails, live music, prices seem a little high but the portions are large. Dinner for 4 Friday night - good thing we had reservations as there was quite a crowd at the door. Wow, they have really remodeled this place -- very attractive and spacious. The noise level was high enough to make it difficult to have a conversation. The table side salsa/guac lady arrived within a few minutes and mixed up a bowl of spicy + one medium. We ended up blending the two together to get just the right amount of heat, but it was delicious. I ordered the poblano stuffed with picadillo beef. It was beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned and very good sized. I was pleased. My wife had the seafood molcajete and loved it. It was big enough that she got 3 meals out of it. The service was great, very friendly and out server came around just often enough to check on us. The bill was pretty steep, but we did start with a round of premium cocktails and didn't choose our entrees based on price. They are still in their soft opening, we are really looking forward to going back when they expand their menu fully. Great addition to the NW side!! read more

If you have a nut allergy beware! Checked out casa Vera tonight and got sick from the ribeye tacos bc the sauce contains peanuts. There was an asterisks next to the item and it noted "contains nuts" at the bottom of the menu, so that was on me for not checking. But I feel like "peanut sauce" could have been noted in the description of the entree. My husband politely mentioned this to our server, not expecting anything just hoping to bring a little awareness. All the manager had to say was that I "must not be that allergic" if I didn't mention the allergy to our server (sorry?? I was not expecting to run into peanuts while eating Mexican food) Anyway we won't be back. The tacos were just alright, and it was very pricey. Margarita was decent, table side chips and guac were great but we can get that from guads. read more

Overpriced, and for some reason my card was charged $10 more than I signed for at the restaurant. $30 for three small tacos and a very small portion of rice and beans is ridiculous. We tried it twice. Both times left disappointed. read more

We've been waiting for MONTHS watching them build out this restaurant.... Hoping for a great neighborhood Mexican spot and finally they opened last week! Pros: They did great job building out this restaurant! Beautiful interior with hand-painted ceilings and wall accents. Gorgeous lighting and accents, and the patio will be fun in the cooler months. The bar looked fun and was packed! The staff was well dressed and plentiful. Cons: They're still working out a LOT of kinks. The hostess station was overstaffed and stepping very obviously all over each other. The menu is short and not inexpensive at $20-25+ per entree. We asked for chips and salsa, but had to wait for a good ten minutes to have the table-side salsa gal to make her way to us... really a bummer (cute idea, but functionally terrible). We ordered a shareable carnitas fajita plate: the meat was plentiful but tough, a little dry and not great. The meal came with only two flour tortillas which were good but not enough based on the quantity of meat, as well as all the sides. Management did come to the table to see what they could do, which was good, but honestly we were just over it at that point. Overall, they've got some work to do here. It was packed, so the demand is there, but lots of kinks to work out. read more

Came here opening weekend and it was an experience for sure. I'm very glad we made a reservation because it was so crowded we could barely find a spot in the parking lot. We started out with the complimentsry tableside salsa. So fresh and yummy omg I'm just mad I had to share with my husband who can only tolerate mild salsa lol but it was still delicious even without a little kick. FYI the women making the salsa do accept tips so be sure to bring cash. I paired my chips and salsa with the ginger margarita and it was so refreshing. I loved the little bit of candied ginger I got with it too. To share, we had the tlayuda which was huge. Def enough for a family portion. For my main, I went with the ceviche and my husband had the fajitas. The only disappointing bit was how long we waited for our food but I won't fault them for that as I'm sure they're still working out the kinks and learning how to handle such big crowds. The wait staff were kind and apologetic about the wait too. Overall, this is a great addition to the Tucson food scene and would be a great spot for family dinner or date night as long as you remember to make a rezzie! read more

This place just opened so it's pretty busy. We were a party of 2 so we decided to sit at the bar. We were greeted right away by Moslee. She was super friendly and attentive. We ordered Cadillac margaritas and they were fantastic. The table side salsa is a great addition and super fresh and tasty. We shared the fajitas for 2 with chicken fish beef and more. It's a generous helping and the flavors were on point. We will definitely be back read more

I had the pleasure of checking out Casa Va, a new Mexican restaurant here on the Northside, and I'm so glad I did!. This is definitely a spot you need to check out. I sat in the bar area and had the pleasure of having Elijah serve me. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and very educated when it came to the different tequilas. He made the experience that much better and was so helpful with recommendations. I also had the pleasure of meeting Emma, the owner, who shared a little bit of the backstory behind Casa Veraand how she got started. I always love hearing the story behind a new local restaurant and getting to know the people who put so much passion into creating it. Definitely add Casa Vera to your list! I can't wait to go back and try more of what they have to offer. read more

Came In for lunch with my family, the food was good but the customer service needs some improvement. The server that took our order never came back to check on us, not even to see if we got everything. Which we didn't, I asked a lady in a pink shirt for an item my order was missing and she never came back around with it. Instead she went to the computer and completely forgot about what I asked for. Had to ask a server from the other side of the restaurant (Manny, thank you for all your help!) for the item I was missing, he was also the one refilling our drinks. This wasn't a cheap meal, so I'm hoping if we decide to go back, we get better customer service. read more

Delicious food and drinks! The tableside guac and salsa are an absolute must for anyone visiting! You can tell the owners truly had a vision when decorating this place and put so much thought into every detail. It's decorated like a charming Spanish casita, and the atmosphere is so inviting. Our food came out nice and hot. We ordered the carnes molcajete, and it arrived piping hot and incredibly flavorful. Everything was delicious, and we will definitely be back! Such a gem to Tucson! read more

We enjoyed our first visit to casa Vera. They have only been open a short while, so they are still working out everything. Not the full menu yet, but that will be coming. Decor is nice and food was great. We did not like the house margaritas , we would need to try something else on the future. Tacos, salsa and table side guacamole were great read more

We had the fajitas. They were great. Steak and chicken cooker perfectly and severed steaming! The house frozen margaritas were wonderful. Atmosphere was warm and friendly. Semplice by Illianba was perfect. We love this place. Music was first class. read more

It's about time we got a really good Mexican restaurant in this area and WOW is this place good! As soon as you enter, the atmosphere is one of celebration with the candles with melted wax lining the entrance table and the beautiful hanging lanterns everywhere. The service from the Hostess to the bussers is professional and friendly. Our waiter Vincent was friendly, professional, and helpful. The food was AMAZING. I had the Mole which was the best I've ever had. At our table there was an order of Chili Verde and Chili Colorado both being so good that there were a lot of moans of delight at first bite. Alexandra checked on our meals and service, taking care of any last minute needs. I had a red Sangria that was tasty and my husband enjoyed his marg. Our medium salsa was made tableside and if we'd wanted it, the guacamole is made to order also at your table. The complaints about the pricing confuse me. Everything has gone up this year but I believe you are paying for value and you get it here. The restroom was spotless which is my pet peeve, great job Casa Vera management, you've created a place people will want to return to. read more

We made a reservation on Thursday the second day after opening. Food was amazing and the table side guac and salsa was reminiscent of their roots. Had the tacos, spendy but they were amazing. Everything was fantastic! read more

Very nice decor and vibe inside restaurant. Our experience wasn't that good unfortunately. The beans, salsa and food was bland. I ordered the pork verde and hubby ordered the chili colorado. I needed salt at the very least on the pork but there was none on the tables and the servers were trying hard i think but very busy. One server bumped into my husband and almost spilled sizzling fajitas on him. When server went to sit down my plate he put my food plate accidentally on the plate with sour cream. No big deal but didn't offer a new plate or apology just wiped it up (my plate i'm eating off of) and said nothing. There are quite a lot of fajita options but other than that, the menu is very limited. Unfortunately, like several restaurants in that location, I do not see it surviving long term unless things change. Hope they do succeed read more

Came here for the soft opening, and first off, this place is BEAUTIFUL inside! It has a really cozy, homey feeling to it. Like, "I could accidentally sit here for three hours talking to someone I just met" kind of homey. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which was definitely a plus. As for the food, I had the Land and Sea Plate. My father in law had the carnitas and another fajita plate, and my mother in law went with the steak fajitas. Everything was good, but I wouldn't say anything blew me away or had me planning my next meal around it. BUT... it was a soft opening, so I'm giving them some grace! They're still getting everything dialed in, and honestly, it's fajitas. I'm not expecting a life changing spiritual experience over a sizzling plate of meat and peppers. I got my protein in, my family got fed, nobody left angry, and that's a successful dinner in my book. We'll definitely be back to see how things evolve once they're fully up and running. Welcome to the neighborhood! We're happy to have you here! Please dont be an idiot and leave a one or two star for this restaurant when they are brand new and are working out the kinks. Freaking morons. read more

We had made reservations and we still had to wait the girl at the desk was not pleasant and did not seem to be sensitive about our time the food was not all that great no flavor read more

The food was quite good, especially the guacamole and salsa. I had the chicken tacos and thought the chicken was a little dry but very tasty ingredients. My husband had the pork verde and thought it was ok. Third in our party had chicken fajitas and loved it. Cadillac Margarita was wonderful! Ambience is unbelievable -- it's beautiful! It reminded me of the years we did TGIF outings with live music -- made me feel right at home. Opening hour has changed to 3PM, reservations probably important, menu to upgrade soon. Parking is easy since it's on the periphery of the Mall. Wait area is expansive, inside and outside. Very busy on a Friday evening. Service excellent! While many previous restaurants have failed in this building, Casa Vera will stand out and continue to be well received in the community. I think it has room to improve in its food. You can "mind" the price if you want to, but I think this place is well worth any special or non special occasion. Can't wait to go back! read more

The ambiance and staff were still great as the time we went on their inaugural day. We ordered the chicharron appetizer and it was awesome. Enough for a hearty main with great tortillas and lots of guac underneath the tender fatty pork. However the tlyuda was completely different from the first time we had it, which is a letdown. It was the star of our table that first day, the corn tortilla tender but still a bit crunchy. It was unique to what we've had before around town. This time it was crunchy all the way through. But not in like a "cheese crisp" way, like in a "thicker than a tortilla chip and weird to chew" way. It made it run of the mill and less of a standout. I admittedly never encountered this type of dish before, so the ignorance may be strong with me. But I know what we liked better, and the second one wasn't it. We'll still be back though, looking forward to the expanded menu. read more

Beautiful place, very spacious and decorated nicely. Great food! Prices in line with other upscale restaurants.

Had a lovely dinner at Casa Vera last night. The staff is awesome-very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious! The atmosphere is beautiful. The ladies room was very clean! I highly recommend Casa Vera! read more

Excellent food, service and the perfect ambiance with decor,dress and welcoming friendliness of the staff...

The food was pretty good, similar to Guadalajara Grill, but the service was extremely disappointing. We waited 45 minutes to be seated, then another 30 minutes just to have someone take our order. We had to ask for water and even ask who our server was. The restaurant is huge, but the organization and service were terrible. Unfortunately, we won't be going back. read more

We won't be back. This place is trying to compete with Guadalajara Mexican restaurant. It doesn't hold a candle to Guadalajara or Ols'; not even Taco Bell is better, even though I don't recommend it. The meal and drink menus were sparse. I like tacos, so I ordered 3 different tacos: veggie, beef, and chicken. What I received was unrecognizable. Before I go on, the salsa lady and the salsa were excellent, worth the $5.00 tip. Back to the "Tacos". They were served on a flat, uncooked corn tortilla; there was no way to pick them up to eat. The veggie was a mushroom, some sort of cheese, and ??. The Chicken was chewy, and the beef was shoe leather. The beans and rice were bland and dry. I did not finish my meal. My sister had some stuffed pepper that she tasted but didn't eat. My Sister has been all over Mexico and has eaten several meals there, but this wasn't anything she had encountered. The meal cost was $74.00 and change, plus a $10.00 tip to the waiter. Service was excellent. read more

The decor is really well done and fun. Every single fajitas order coming out of the kitchen was sizzlin! Enough to get my vote!

Beautiful restaurant. Beautiful lights. Great atmosphere, food and ginger margaritas!

This one of the best Mexican food restaurants I have ever had. The service, food, and drinks were so good!! We had the fajitas and was cooked to perfection!!! I can not say enough great things of this place. The only thing that was an issue was they were crazy busy and a long wait. We decided to sit at the bar and it was super fast service. read more

If there's one type of cuisine I know well, it's Mexican food, so I was genuinely disappointed with our experience at Casa Vera. I ordered the pollo con mole, while my date had the tamale platter, and unfortunately, both dishes were dry, overcooked, and lacking the flavor you would expect from a Mexican restaurant. The manager (Donna) stopped by and acknowledged that the chicken was overcooked, but the tamales were also dry, had very little filling, and lacked flavor. Overall, I expected much more and left feeling very disappointed. Very unfortunate. We were only offered a credit for one plate even though we left both plates hardly eaten. It's unfortunate they missed the mark on this one. I was really hoping to get good food. read more
