Just incredible.

He chose Cielo Rojo before our comedy show and outdoor dining was the perfect choice for this date night! I love a man who plans really good dates. While I wanted to like this place since every one raves about it, I didn't. They are a true Mexican restaurant and lean into authentic recipes. I love more traditional Tex Mex food so places like this never do it for me. Service was amazing. Let's get into it: Honestly, the food lacked salt for my liking. There wasn't anything that stood out. Prices are not cheap by any means which for me is an issue at restaurants like these. Only because Tex Mex places load you up with free chips and salsa, tons of food for a reasonable price. This place is charging top tier prices for just okay food. Not for me! I wouldn't return but definitely try, this place might be for you.

Since I'm working near La casita, I decided to give the pupusas a try and I gave it a 5 stars because I love how their pupusas are evenly made. They are so perfect!

I ordered three chicken and cheese pupusas, and they were a great size. I was nearly full after the first two. The flavor was on point. My apologies for my photo because I was already halfway through my third pupusa before I remembered to snap a picture. I also tried the corn tamale, which my wife and I enjoyed a lot. On top of that, I ordered a steak taco, which unfortunately didn't make it into a picture either because I ate it too fast. What stood out to me was the "shell." Instead of the usual flour or corn tortilla, it uses the same masa dough as the pupusa, and I really enjoyed that difference. We finished our meal with the nuegados en miel dulce, something I had never tried before. I was glad I did because it was delicious and a great way to end the meal. Overall, the food and experience were excellent. If you are like me and rely on Yelp reviews to decide where to eat, I highly recommend giving La Casita Pupuseria & Market a visit. You will be well pleased like I was.

We chose it because of its strong reviews and our desire to support a small business. The atmosphere was warm and casual, though a bit dated, and the service was excellent.

I believe they had it on the menu, but it wasn't clear, and they don't offer fries, so I decided to try some other things. I got two pork pupusas and a mixed meat quesadilla. The pupusas were actually pretty good. They had a decent amount of meat filling and tasted good. I would definitely get them again. The quesadilla was pretty good, but nothing spectacular. They did give several sauces (hot, green, salsa), which were nice. For the green sauce, I wish there had been more. Overall, this place was better than I expected and I'm interested in trying some other foods here.

Review for 3/9/2014 My sister and I decided to have aSunday…read morelunch. Since we had a living social deal, we came to Haydee's. The outside looks like a "hole-in- the- wall", but when we walked into the restaurant, we noticed that there was a lot going on. TV's, a jukebox in the back, a bar lit with Christmas lights, painting all over, and wooden benches. Immediately, our server escorted us to our seats. She quickly brought us water and menus. We ordered the fiesta margarita, and it was strong. We are talking about "knock-you-on-your-butt" strong. For appetizers, I had a cheese pupusa and my sister ordered a pork and cheese pupusa. I loved the sauce that they came with. I HATED the salsa. Although I love onions, the salsa had way too much. I preferred to use the pupusa sauce with my chips. For lunch, I order the veggie enchiladas. The broccoli, carrots,and onions were cooked and seasoned perfectly in the enchiladas. I have never had enchiladas with broccoli, and Haydee's has set a new standard for me and veggie enchiladas. The pinto beans and rice were okay nothing special. My sister order the combo quesadilla, and she LOVED them. She vowed to return for the quesadillas. The restroom is clean, but it deserves a star deducted. Patrons must put the used toilet paper in the trash instead of flushing it. That is disgusting to me. The trash can didn't have a lid... The restaurant and food was a solid four star, but a star was deducted for the restroom. So why is this five stars? Glad you asked :-) The peach fiesta margarita was perfect. It was the perfect compliment to the food. In addition to the good margaritas, the server and bartender were sweethearts. The real star was the server's son, who wasn't older than 6. He sang every song that the bartender put on the jukebox. He was so lively. His energy was infectious. Truly, he made my day with his singing and dancing. I look forward to coming back and trying the fajitas and other menu items. Overall, Haydee's is a restaurant that I would recommend trying. Don't come in expecting anything... This place is the perfect place to start off an evening of fun.
