The one board has a sign telling you to "Please drive to the window." Thankfully there was no one ahead of me. Since they can't even start your order until you get to the window I couldn't imagine being second or third in line as my wait, after ordering, was 10 minutes. At the window I was greeted by a very friendly older gentleman who took my order. He asked if I would like him to add some chips in. I had ordered a carne asada burrito. It was very good. In addition to the rice and beans there was lots of meat. A good facelift and fixing the ordering speaker would them up to a 5 star.

Both dishes, which there was a moderate wait for, were both delicious and plentiful. The service was friendly and efficient. My soda was refilled when it got down to halfway. The restaurant seems to be a cross between fine dining and sports bar with several TV screens.

The salsa has a smoky kick to it. We have been here twice, once right before the Friday night dinner rush and once at lunch time. Friday night we were the second table seated. Our service was fantastic. The servers were friendly and helpful. We ordered the Carnitas Platter ($15.00) and the Shrimp Fajitas ($21.00). Both dishes were very plentiful and great tasting. The shrimp were large size. The Carnitas had that crisp to some of the pork. Fantastic! As the restaurant filled we could tell that the food coming out of the kitchen was on the slow side. Our lunch time meal (No lunch menu) was the same great service with more fantastic food. We tried the Salmon Los Cabos ($18.00) a large piece of Salmon in sauce, The Carne Asada Platter ($18.00) was a large, thin, steak with all the fixings (tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo, rice and beans), and our son ordered the 3 item combo ($15.00) with a tamale, a flauta, and an enchilada. The restaurant is in the old Gino's building. It was clean and bright.

The steak was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. The burrito was smothered in delicious sauce, topped with melted cheese, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was incredible. The portions are generous, the ingredients tasted fresh, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the food. The homemade flavors really stand out, and everything was hot and served quickly. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food that's full of flavor and worth every penny, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu, but the wet asada burrito has already earned a permanent spot on my favorites list. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, the order came out wrong initially because the mixed carnitas taco had onion on it. However, the lady apologized for the error and replaced the taco right away, which I appreciated. As for the food, the queso birria tacos were just okay. They were a bit bland, needed more depth of flavor, and definitely needed more meat and cheese inside. The accompanying consomé was also lacking flavor. The mixed carnitas taco on a handmade tortilla was alright, but the meat was a little dry and the sauce on the tortilla leaned a bit salty. On the bright side, the cucumber pineapple refresco was very good and incredibly refreshing! The restaurant itself has limited seating with simple decor. While it's definitely not the best Mexican food I've ever had to satisfy a craving, it passes if you need a quick bite.

I love this place. I have been coming here since I was a little kid. The antelope valley unfortunately does not have much to choose from when it comes to GOOD Mexican food. Casita Lopez is one of the treasures in Lancaster. Their food is excellent and tasty. It's simple and to the point. Their pricing is very reasonable especially considering the quality of their products. I love their carne asada burritos and chicken dinner. To whoever didn't like their burrito, maybe you should specify how you like it. I always get it with only meat inside. The salsas that they have are delicious to mix with their food. The service has always been great and the owner is very attentive to his clientele. We used to have HUGE orders for lunch for our business and NEVER had a problem. Whoever did it probably WAS their fault. I have been coming here for 28 years and would recommend it to anyone I know. The AV is horrible when it comes to Mexican food, but Casita Lopez is ALWAYS there for me. I hope it will always be here. read more
