    This is enchiladas at least buried under the lettuce
    Fely L.

    Co worker and I were craving Mexican food for lunch. We looked up the place and was sold on the fresh homemade tortillas. The place from outside looks small but actually really roomy and nice decor inside. The food not so happy. But the sangria was good. They don't offer complimentary chip and salsa I assume as we didn't get any. We both got the enchilada which came with 3 and rice and beans. They were nice enough to give us mix and match on sauce and protein. I got one chicken and two chile verde all in verde sauce. Co worker got all cheese but had both green and red sauce. We were both craving cheesy gooey. But it didn't come that way. It was topped with grated Mexican cheese and lettuce. No goey cheese we were expecting. The sauce was sour seems like it was salsa verde on the enchiladas. The meat inside was ok just the sauce was not good to me. The rice was dried same with beans and no melted cheese on top. Yes we wanted melted cheese. We were so hoping to like this place to make it our go to.

    Shrimp ceviche
    Raymond M.

    The carne asada plate was okay, the carne asada itself was missing that smoky char flavor. It was also my first time trying nopales, and they were a bit sour for my palate. The refried beans were decent. The rice was soft and fluffy. The tortillas were hot, fresh, and homemade. The shrimp ceviche was decent. It wasn't as lime-forward as I prefer, and the red bell peppers caught me off guard since I'm not used to having them in ceviche. I did enjoy the addition of mangoes, which added sweetness and tang that balanced the dish.

    Pozole
    Madison B.

    This place has lot of seating and a variety of food options! They are known for their pozole which is a big portion and very delicious! I can never finish it but it is a good leftover! If you are craving pozole come here! We also love their dip trip which comes with chips, salsa, guacamole, and cheese and the trio of them all tastes so good!

    TINGA TOSTADAS
    Michele G.

    Hey there Party People I would say that Casa Villa qualifies as a "hole in the Wall" joint. It's a no frills kind of place. They charge $4.50 for chips and salsa. The salsa was good the chips are traditional so they are on the thicker side. We had a chicken Quesadilla as an appetizer. It was nicely seasoned with a ton of Chicken and cheese. I had the Tinga Tostadas. It was ok. The seasoning was on the Smokey side but not spicy at all. Hubby had the Chile Relleno. It was also just OK. The rice was bland but the fluffy texture was good. I think that maybe most people would say that Casa Villa is very traditional Mexican food. So if that is what you're after I'm sure you will enjoy this place. I just like my Mexican food to have a kick. Lastly, I hate paying for chips and salsa. It would be like going to Cheesecake Factory and having to pay for the bread....it's just wrong. Be kind to one another

    SHRIMP TOSTADAS! Very tasty...Great customer service

    Chilequille with chorizo

    The food was really good. I got the chilequille with chorizo in a red and green sauce. There's so much more I wanna try. Glad I found this hole in the wall in Willow Glen area.

    FISH TACOS
    Stacy C.

    Had dinner at Casa Villa tonight. I've ordered food from them via DoorDash in the past, but tonight was my first time dining in the restaurant. We arrived around 5:30pm on a weeknight and the place was empty except for one couple. One of the first things I noticed was the music overhead was very loud. The waitress told us to sit wherever we wanted, so we grabbed a booth in the side room. Fortunately, the music was not as loud in there. I decided to try something I hadn't ordered previously and went with the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and rice. My companions ordered carne asada street tacos, chicken enmoladas, and a strawberry margarita. The food arrived quickly. My dish was nice-sized with three enchiladas, and while they were good, they were a bit too spicy for me. I could only eat about half of them. The rice was delicious and I would have liked more. Everyone else really enjoyed their food and kept commenting on how good it was. I asked if their food was spicy and they said no. They liked their strawberry margarita, too. I tried to order tres leche for dessert for us to share, but they were out. I've had it before at Casa Villa and it is scrumptious with lots of strawberries. The waitress then surprised us with a tiny piece she found in the fridge and three spoons. She didn't charge us for it. Overall it was a good dinner and I highly recommend Casa Villa. The restaurant is cozy with a warm, homey feeling and the service is excellent. I've had the fish tacos and quesabirria tacos in the past and they are delicious.

    Meat Lovers Omelette!

    Warmly greeted, then pick your own table/booth. Each breakfast was fresh and hearty, including the guacamole. Fresh is important for my dish, otherwise, it can be a soggy mess, as I opted for the Rojo Chorizo Chilaquiles, Eggs Over Easy. I love me some chorizo, so I was clamoring for a little bit more, but the dish was incredibly delicious nonetheless. Their Mexican Coffee is unique and a must for me at breakfast time. The storefront and sign are on the smaller side, so look for the umbrellas out front.

    QUESA-VILLA
    Sejal S.

    Here is my Delish experience!!! We recently discovered this hidden gem in San Jose after our family friends recommended this spot. This restaurant serves amazing authentic Mexican food with great service and a pleasant ambience. The frescas and mocktails were especially flavorful and refreshing. I really liked their kids menu options and ordered pancakes with fresh strawberries along with a side of fries. It may seem like a small detail but we absolutely loved the fries, they were perfectly crispy and not thin or soggy. Coming to the food, our favorite part was the molcajete which is a massive platter with multiple items and very filling, definitely worth the price. The spicy sauce that comes with the platter is incredibly delicious and adds so much flavor. For those with a smaller appetite, they also offer smaller portion options like the pollo quesadilla which did not disappoint at all. Overall this has become our new favorite spot every time we visit the Bay Area, an authentic Mexican restaurant with great food, great service and a welcoming experience.

    First time to this restaurant. I had a margarita and Birrira tacos, my partner had chicken enchiladas. Overall food was delicious. My cocktail was great! Service was great, very attentive. We will come back here again.

    I'm not sure why this restaurant has high rating. Service was just okay but was really slow. Food is not good and there's barely any meat. Pina colada wasn't great either.

    Inside
    Dave D.

    Casa Villa is a small Mexican restaurant in a willow glen strip mall. They are expanding soon but for now they have less than 10 tables. The facility itself is in decent condition, well decorated and about as clean as you'd expect. The service is really friendly and the prices seem reasonable. We got the molcajete to share. It's pretty big and served very hot in a volcano rock pot. There were generous amounts of beef, chicken and very flavorful sausage. It all seemed fresh and well cooked. But it was lacking something in flavor as most of the ingredients seemed sliced and basically boiled. It needs more seasoning or something to elevate the flavor. The tortillas were excellent.

    CHILAQUILES
    Molly M.

    Great selection of food, we loved our chilaquiles with chorizo and eggs. The potatoes, eggs, and meat were cooked to absolute perfection. My friend loved the cafe de olla, I enjoyed the juice. The music and service was perfect for the ambiance. Was only visiting the area but would love to go back one day!

Anyway, I met up with some friends here last weekend and we had a reservation at Alter Ego. I guess it's technically 2 places with Still OG. I have to say, I have really fond memories of Original Gravity from back in the day (ah, the days of my youth...) so it's nice that it's still sort of around though.. technically completely different since there's no more craft beer or duck fat fries lol. We hung out at our table for the whole night, like 4 hours. We all ordered cocktails off the menu and later on ordered some stuff off the menu based on the bartender's suggestion. I first ordered a Calabrian Spritz from the menu which hit the spot for me. Personally, I am not a hard alcohol fan but I enjoy wine and fun lil cocktails that are slightly sweet/not super strong lol. So this drink was nice because it wasn't too sweet and had a lot of volume (I like just sipping on stuff in general and it sucks when you order a cocktail that's like 3 sips of liquid and the rest is ice). The next cocktail I ordered was off the menu and called Like This or That (I think). I think it was some sort of passionfruit + vodka mix and very delicious! We also ordered the cold soba noodles and fries. Fries were crinkle cut and nicely crispy, no complaints. Soba noodles were also good, though some component of it was really spicy, I think the cucumbers. Overall I had a good time here and look forward to coming back, though given how little I go out, who knows when that will be haha.

My husband ordered a couple old fashioned and a watermelon waltz for himself. We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back in the future.

    Illegal bait-and-switch advertising…read more I was considering coming here after seeing their video advertising "$19.99 PRIME RIB TUESDAYS." What the video did not disclose was that you cannot actually purchase the advertised $19.99 deal unless you also make a mandatory additional drink purchase. Customers in the comments reported showing up for the $19.99 promotion and ending up spending around $45 per person. One customer repeatedly asked the restaurant to confirm that the drink was required because she had been told she could not get the $19.99 meal without ordering one. The restaurant confirmed the additional purchase requirement. That is bait-and-switch advertising. The $19.99 price gets customers in the door because they believe that is the deal being offered. Once they're there, they discover the advertised deal is not actually available unless they make another mandatory purchase, bringing the required spend to more than twice the advertised price. What makes this worse is that the disclosure about the required purchase was added after customers complained about being misled. I saved the original advertising and the comment thread showing the sequence. I'm reporting the advertising to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Consumer Protection Unit and the California Attorney General's Office. If your deal costs roughly $45 to obtain, don't advertise it as "$19.99 prime rib." Good luck.
