The seats have some really huge gashes and the filling is sticking out. My hubby ordered a chili verde wet burrito. I'm always nervous when we order chile verde or chile rojo because it can be a hit or miss. this burrito did not disappoint. A really big size burrito. Meat meat was super tender. Yummy flavor! On the weekends the offer homemade tortillas. The chips and salsa that came out first was a great start. The chips came out warm and the salsa had a nice kick to it. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Service was a little dry but friendly.

This place changed ownership which sucks because the food used to be bomb. Michelada on point.

The positive. Food was excellent. Great flavor and quality. We enjoyed our food very much…read more Ambiance was fantastic. Beautiful place. Customer service was okay. Friendly and attentive, but... The bad. Expensive and very small portions for price, but they are striving for that upscale feel. Quality over quantity which is fine, just don't expect huge portions. I was fine with my portion, others in my party were not. The reason my family will probably never return is as follows and I ate their last Monday and I'm still very upset about it and feel cheated. Waiter asked me several times about trying a new drink on menue. I declined twice as my husband and son each ordered a flight. The third time he brought it up my husband said bring her one, she likes mimosas. . Yes, I should of asked a price right then. It was a champagne drink with strawberry puree. I'm thinking $15 bucks max. It was ok. Nothing special honestly. My son ordered himself and my husband two house shots at end of meal. Waiter tried twice to get an upgrade. They declined. Long story short $40 for my 1 drink and almost $35 for 2 cheap jimador shots. Our bill for 4 was $320 before gratuity. I've never spent that on lunch, even in SD where I live. I feel they push the expensive alcohol on you and purposely do not give prices, so BEWARE! Ask prices! Last, it was a Monday and we were given a brunch menue and then also given a regular dinner menue. Thought that was odd for a non weekend and way too many selections. Overwhelming. I hope it does well, but I don't think it's the right demographic honestly and doubt it will last a year. I hope the waiters are more honest with customers about alcohol prices, because it was really great tasting food and a beautiful place

We have been loyal patrons of La Casita for many years. But tonight they put us in the back room by the restrooms. Larger tables for larger parties. There was two larger parties back there and it was the three of us and my 88 yr old mother n law for her birthday. Well they were ridiculously loud the more they drank ( booze) the louder they were! I mean come on people you have no respect for others! We were just trying to have a nice dinner. I wanted to yell out "Shut the hell up!" But I didn't. They are not in their home for Pete's sake! I wish the establishment would have quieted them down. I couldn't even finish my dinner.... I took it home. So if you read this La Casita, please don't place a small party in a room with a lot of loud drinking people! We love going there but this particular evening was very disappointing.

The restaurant is warm, cozy, and full of charm, with a beautiful country-style atmosphere that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The service was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. I ordered the salmon with pesto sauce, and it was perfectly cooked, juicy, and absolutely delicious. It came with a fresh green salad topped with sunflower seeds, flavorful beans, and fresh guacamole. Every part of the meal was excellent. My son loved his burrito, and everyone at our table was happy with what they ordered. We finished with the flan, which was one of the best I've had--smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. Even the coffee was served in a beautiful traditional Mexican ceramic cup, which made the experience feel even more special. You can truly feel the love and care that goes into both the food and the hospitality here. If you're driving between Orange County and Las Vegas, this restaurant is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be coming back on our next trip!
