    We came here for dinner on a Friday night. There was a short wait for a bother which we preferred. Once sat we were brought complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa tasted jar but it was filling while our entree came out. We ordered surf and turf fajitas to share since we had a late lunch. The meat was good but there was not much veggies in the fajitas. My son ordered the chicken nuggets. It was nothing special but it came with an ice cream dessert. The service was great but the quality was lacking for the price paid.

    This is a great spot to eat good food, relax and enjoy family They accommodate for parties and special occasions. Family friendly and good location

    Tequila Sunrise and champagne

    Decided to try this place again for breakfast. Sadly, we were disappointed. They only serve their brunch on Sundays. You cannot order off of the menu. The only thing that was hot were the menudo and pozole. All other items were lukewarm. They make omelettes to order, and tacos. The Carne Asada was very chewy and had a very odd flavor to it. Service was slow. It was very quiet, not a lot of people inside. Also thought that for what was offered was overpriced at $27.99 per person. The drinks again disappointed ordered a tequila sunrise which was terrible. The champagne served with the brunch was not very good.

    We went on taco Tuesday. We went at 5pm because we didn't know what time Taco Tuesday started but we learned it starts at 4pm. When we went there were only a couple other people there but it started filling up about 5:30 and by 6pm there was a wait. The staff who greeted us were very nice but once it started to get busy it was hard to get our waiter's attention for more drinks and tacos. We loved the Taco bar - you order the number of tacos you want from your waiter and they bring you a piece of paper you bring up to the bar. You can pick whichever meats you want - I did fish, al pastor, and asada and they were all delicious and they put a great amount of meat on each. You get to dress up your tacos however you like them which was a huge plus for our group since we all like our tacos very different. The margaritas were good but very very sweet. I'd love to see a Mangonada option. The asada super nachos were DELICIOUS! Definite must have. I would come back on a Tuesday as long as I have plenty of time. I'd also want to come back on another night and try the normal menu.

    I came by to try out some breakfast. When I first arrived I was greeted and seated immediately. Upon arriving I noticed I had forgotten my wallet, but it was not a problem because the host told me they accept Apple Pay! Chips and salsa were complimentary. I ordered one cafe de olla and red chilaquiles. The cafe de olla was declicious! The red chilaquiles were also great, they came with rice beans and eggs. The chilaquiles are spicer than other restaurants I have been to which I enjoyed. The salsa had a very good and flavorful taste. I also saw that the chilaquiles were cut in smaller pieces, so I think they fry their tortillas in house rather than use pre made chips (appreciated!) I will definitely come again and give another item a try! Excited to have a go to spot for chilaquiles.

    Yelp fam! We have a winner here!!! Those who know me know I love me some Mexican food and lately been disappointed with food/drinks I've had at "authentic" Mexican restaurants, making me almost wanting to give up on Mexican food lol. Well La Casita Olvera has restored my hope lol. Simply saying the food, drinks, and service at this family owned restaurant was amazing isn't enough. We dined on Taco Tuesday, so of course we took advantage of the taco special- $3 tacos. Our server, Washington, explained how it worked. We let him know how many tacos we want and then go to the taco station/cart. At the taco station, you are given your taco and then you add all the fixings you want. The tortillas are handmade, which Washington let us know was his aunt who was making the tortillas and serving at the taco station. The tortillas were so soft and fresh! I had fried fresh tacos and a potato taco and added all the fixings. We ordered table side guacamole and it was made to perfection! My husband and I ordered a skinny cucumber margarita. When I tell you this was one of the best skinny cucumber margaritas I have had in a really long time from an "authentic" Mexican restaurant, man oh man. It was so good that I ordered another one. And Washington was kind enough to give my husband and I another margarita to share on the house. Don't let this hole in a wall, strip mall Mexican restaurant fool you. Service and food is exceptional. I love supporting family owned businesses who take care of their customers. We will definitely return!

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

We came here because my cousin DJSP was the featured DJ this Sunday, so I did my Yelp research and to be honest, I didn't know what to expect because the most recent reviews were a couple of months old, no recent food photos and menu photos were outdated. However we were going either way because it was also our featured DJ's birthday. We made reservations but that was difficult too as we called for several days until someone actually answered the phone. I was a little surprised because the food we ordered were all pretty tasty, decent portions, and reasonably priced. The service was ok. Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too. It is very loud here with a full restaurant of diners, the live DJ and football games going with loud cheering fans, so if you have sensitive hearing, bring some ear plugs.

Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.
