La Casita in Mammoth, AZ is the basis upon which I judge Mexican food. From simple cheese crisps to…read morethe many combination plates they offer, La Casita's food is top notch. If you're traveling up or down AZ Highway 77, it is a required stop if you're passing through. The venue is not fancy, but who cares when the food is good. The servers are always attentive. I no longer get to sample their offerings as often as I would like. I used to work locally and it was the obvious lunch stop with vendors because of how good their food was. This trip I got my old favorite, Machaca Chimichanga (which you can't get that's worth anything in TX or MT). The tortilla was crispy and almost melted in my mouth without any signs of oil. Yum! Their beans are always excellent, made the old-fashioned way, creamy. Fit my drink, I opted for Modelo Negro, which complimented my chimi perfectly and followed the meal with an order of sopapillas with cinnamon & sugar and honey. ¡Perfecto!

I got the veggie burrito, enchilada style. It was delicious and HUGE. The staff was not exaggerating when they said these were big burritos. My boyfriend got an all meat burrito, also enchilada style, and loved it. One kid got the kid's bean and cheese burrito, and she loved it. It was smaller than the adult burritos but still good sized. She managed to eat more than any of us and she's the tiniest. The other kid got the veggie burrito and while he's normally a picky eater, he loved it! The prices are very reasonable especially for how much food you get. The menu has a ton of options, they all looked tempting and I don't even eat meat. They do take cards now, by the way. Closed Saturdays as the owners are SDA but open all other days. The only thing I was sad about is I went at a time breakfast was not being served. But that's a me problem, not a them problem. We will be back. It's too good to miss.

After coffee, I was going to head straight home until I noticed Nico's to my left. I passed it. I traveled past the overpass and made a U-turn. I pulled up to Nico's crossing a gravel/dirt road and onto a paved parking lot. Nico's is a small unassuming place the sits alone at the North end of the parking lot. I love hole-in-the-walls! For some reason, I was craving crispy tacos. I ordered a carne asada and ground beef crispy taco. The lady who took my order said carne asada only comes in a soft shell; so I asked to her make both tacos ground beef. She asked if it was to go or dine in. I opted to eat in. I mean, I was traveling on my bike. I was taken aback a little by the price of each taco. It was just under six bucks. Because of that, I did not leave a tip. 13 dollars with tax for two tacos! I seated myself at one of the tables. Bathrooms were located outside around the building. The lady who took my order served my tacos and I was surprised how big the tacos were. They were double the size of a standard taco shell and they were overfilled with ingredients. The ground beef were ample and the lettuce and cheese were overflowing. The lady gave me two squeeze bottles, one with red salsa and one with green salsa. I tried them both with each taco and they were delicious. When I finished devouring the tacos, what was left on the plate equaled a taco salad. There was nothing left on the plate after I was done! The last thing I did was go over to the lady who took my order and served me was tip her. Now I understood why the tacos cost what they charged. They were well worth it!

I'm not sure how many restaurants are nearby but since we knew the Oracle Patio Cafe was closed, we had to find something else! Side note, you can zip line here...not at the restaurant but attached or next to it. Seems like there is also a camp ground and hiking and off-roading all nearby or a part of the land...basically, what I'm trying to say is this seems like an all-in-one outdoor adventure spot that I'm sure I'm not explaining well, and a lot of people already come here for. Now, for the restaurant: they have a very simple menu and some specials. You pick up a menu/order form, mark off what you want, write your name, and bring it to the cashier. You pay, get a buzzer, and then wait. They have a few family style tables inside, as well as some novelty shopping. They have a ton more seating outside. I got their signature Adventure Burger which means the chef makes the burger and you're surprised. I LOVED this! My burger had avocado, grilled mushrooms, cheese, sauce, etc. I'm not even sure everything exactly, but it doesn't matter because it was delicious! Their fries were also really tasty! My daughter got their chicken fingers which had the best, seasoned skin on it. Lastly, right outside the restaurant they have "panning for gold" - FREE! My daughter was so excited to do this and even more elated when she found "REAL" gold ;) I really appreciated that they offered this and for free. It seems rare these days you stumble upon things like this.

When you walk in it's a bit different as it's really about the zipline adventure with a burger on the side. You order off of the paper menus that list everything they offer.

And of you feel froggy you can even pan for gold outside the building. All in all it was a good place and I'm glad we took the time to drive up here. it won't be our last.
