Stopped in for an early dinner and glad we did. The past few Mexican food dining experiences in Showlow have been huge let-downs so tried La Casita. This place nailed it! Awesome staff, inviting atmosphere, and the food was on point! Can't wait to go back.| read more

La Casita - Number 5, flawless execution. - Mexican Near Me - Show Low, Arizona

Nope, dirty, disgusting,and poor servic. List: burnt taco,check; careless waitress check (she knew the taco shell was un eatable served any way); plates were sitting on warmer so long beans developed a skin, Bugs in the place check. This place should be shut down. A whole in the wall is cleaner, has great service, and food is good. read more

One of the best places, in the State to still get authentic Arizona/Sonoran style Mexican Food. Not New Mexican Style, Not Tex -Mex, Not California style. Just good 'ol Authenic, Arizona/Sonoran style Mexican Food. read more

Great for takeout! Combo plates are filling and just spicy enough. Get chips and salsa, too.

First time here, great happy hour prices. Loved the Nacho Grande. Service was fast and friendly. My only complaint is that the margaritas come out of a can. They only have license for beer and wine. read more

La Casita - Nacho Grande - Mexican Near Me - Show Low, Arizona

La Casita is making a come back! I used to eat here as a small child. I stopped coming for a while because the food quality had gone downhill. But I'm so happy to say it's come back up. They have the best beans and bean burritos I've ever eaten anywhere. It has the small town vibe and very reasonable prices. The staff is very nice too. read more

Los frijoles tiene sabor de olla y las tortillas hechas de mano viene con manteca, ricisimos!

Food was delicious, served hot and timely. This will be our go to Mexican restaurant for the summer. We were lucky to find it. My only complaint was the food was so good I ate too much. Next time I'll put half of it in a to go box at the top. Great food. read more

I stopped for lunch. Ordered 2 machaca tacos, the tacos were ordered with no cheese or sour cream. Tacos were deep fried with the meat. They came to the table with nothing but lettuce. I did expect some tomato and guacamole. 3 napkins 2 were used to try and absorb the oil from the tacos! Service was ok. There is not much to mention about ambiance. It appears to be an old home. I may try again, but tacos will not be ordered. read more

Ordered the # 3 combination with tamale, enchilada, tostada, rice, and beans. Food, service, and ambience hit the spot. I'll have to come by for happy hour, 50% off appetizers. read more

Been driving by this restaurant for a while now. When a couple of co-workers said this was their "go to place for Mexican food," we decided to give it a try. Chips were stale. Salsa tasted like Chalula. We asked for the "extra" hot salsa. That had a nice bite. Guacamole tasted funky. Green chili chimi was cold. Rice was okay. I hate to say, but, I think I will keep driving by. read more

What a great place! Any Mexican sit down with free chips and salsa is already a 5 star in my mind, but even without it they still would have been to me! Everything we ordered was fresh, hot, and tasty! The free chips were warm and the salsa had a kick! -The cheese enchilada was delicious with great sauce. -The machaca taco was crispy and juicy at the same time with lots of lettuce which is my favorite. -The Navajo taco was unique and a fun item to order instead of the typical taco. -The tamale was moist, delicious, and huge! -The bean burrito was a basic burrito nothing special but still good The prices are super affordable and our food came out quickly with great service. It's good for groups as there were 7 of us and we shared 5 plates and all left stuffed. It's a great place to stop considering the cost and taste for anyone driving through or visiting to ski read more

Decided to stop on the way back to PHX from Greer, fast food wasn't in the cards and we didn't want to wait until Payson. I've always seen this little restaurant on the top of the hill but never tried it. For a holiday weekend they were not busy in the middle of the day so that was cool or a warning. Walking in first impression it was hot! Considering day time temps were in the mid to high 80's it seemed very uncomfortable. "Wait to be seated" Okay we waited as there was no one there, in the few minutes we waited we looked around, dirty table, dirty table, dirty table exc. with dishes of past clients still looming. Since we had yet to come in contact with a human we decided to just to leave. I don't know if there is a bus boy shortage in this place but it didn't look appetizing. read more

Used to be my wife's favorite mexican food place in the mountains. Not so much anymore! This past Memorial day weekend we went. The service was sub par, slow and not to interested in us as customers. They added tomatoes to my wife's meal, she specifically asked for no tomatoes. They did not bring a side of green onions and when reminded brought out a skimpy plate of frozen chopped green onions. The food was not the same quality as previous visits. I asked for a glass of water about 10 minutes after I drank a beer, wound up sharing my wife's water as I never got mine. The place was not busy as there were only about 4 other parties and what looked like 3 servers. My wife only ate about 1/4 of her food and declined a to go box. The server never asked if everything was good or if there was a problem with her meal. Won't be going back there unless we see some stellar reviews and then maybe... read more

Couldn't believe how good and reasonably priced their food is. Best green chili mixed chimi. The beans are to die for. Best Mex I've had here in 6 years! read more

My husband &I love going to La Casita. If we go to show low we plan our trip when know the are open. The staff greets you like your family, remembers past orders, a really makes us feel like home The best part? The food is authentic & delicious! The prices are ridiculously low considering what you get for your money. There are other Mexican restaurants in Show Low with good food, with very high prices . In our opinion if you want GREAT FOOD at a GREAT PRICE , go to La Casita! read more

Sneaky Price Increases and Inattentive Service. So here I was in Show Low Arizona with an empty belly and that hunger deep inside of me. I had driven by this place for years and years and somehow never stopped in for a bite. So hey, let's give it a try... I walked in and a vendor was there taking to someone about soda products and weekend plans... The sign says "Wait To Be Seated" so I stand there. more than 5 minutes goes by until I walk back to the kitchen where everyone is just hanging out since there is only 1 table with humans in the place. I asked if I should sit anywhere or if they had a preference. The girl then grabbed some chips and salsa and put me in the corner. She came back ad asked what I wanted and I said Ill have a chicken burrito and a water. She asked if I wanted it enchilada style and I said surprise me. My food came and still no water... 90 degrees outside means water is as important as the food... I finally got the water and ate this normal Mexican style plain burrito with some sauce on top. For $7 I was thinking it was an ok place with not so great service. I go to pay my bill that nobody brought me as they all live in the kitchen and see a $3.95 charge for enchilada sauce! Seriously, how in the world can some sauce cost more than half of what the food costs?!? I don't have the patience for this nonsense so I paid and have never gone back. A wise man once told me "You can shear a sheep a hundred times, but you can only skin him once". read more

It all started with a dirty fork.... Don't get me wrong, I'm a dude. I have eaten things in my Batchelor years that shouldn't even qualify as food. So I'm not afraid of a dirty fork But this place has a 4 star rating??? I wish...I wish we would have walked away...dirty fork is never a good sign. I could say alot, but a picture paints a thousand words.. here is a picture of the Nachos supreme I ordered, yes...that is soggy gloppy chips on one side and the other side is the doublehandfull of Jalepenos I dug out of the glop. I politely asked the waitress if this is how it always was served or maybe it was a mistake? She assured me it was how it always came...so there you go yelpers... don't risk the wretched stomach ache...pass right on by to one of the other good restaraunts that the mountain has to offer. Oh, a few side notes. My sweetie asked if we could have our sodas to go...knowing I would need to keep what I did eat down. The waitress said sorry, we only have little cups. What does that even mean? Our waitress also never offered to rectify or even not charge us for this obvious dissapointment of a meal. My wife's was almost as bad as mine, she swears there was cinnamon in her Chimi? I will say there was another waitress who was helpful and when she cashed us out she removed the Nachos. She single handily earned them the 1star... I hate having to give a review like this...but it's honest. read more

Okay, but I don't recommend tacos or tostado. Red sauce seemed to be from a can. Enchilada beans and rice were fine. Killed three small black ants on my menu read more

This is place a little gem! The machaca beef is cravable - we've been going to another Mexican place in Pinetop, and happy to share we will make this our top spot! La Casita's food has way incredible flavor, better prices with a nice environment! You will be so pleased with the food here! Check it out and return often, I know we will!!! read more

The recipes are handed down from the Reynoso family and never disappoints. Amazing salsa that pairs well with anything on the menu. Best Rellenos in town. read more

Due to COVID, it was take out, only. From order being placed by phone to pickup was 15 minutes. We got enchiladas, tacos, beans and rice. The taco shells were home made and crispy. The enchiladas had a lot of flavor. They included a bag of fresh made chips and cups of salsa. Staff was friendly. read more

BEWARE! Filthy restaurant! Smelled terrible inside! Carpet was disgusting! You could see the black feet/Trail mark's in the carpet from years of wear. THE FLIES! OMG! THE FLIES! Everywhere! It was like being outside next to a horse/cow ranch. And the owners don't care! There was so much fly poop/specs on windows. GROSS! Service? Ya right! How about none! Thank God cause I wouldn't have eaten there anyway. I don't know how the food inspector lets this place remain open! read more

While visiting a friend in Show Low, we discovered this little restaurant sitting atop a hill and decided this was the one. I bet lots of people pass on by this sweet little place not realizing what they're missing. I had a cheese enchilada, rice, and beans and I have to say all three had wonderful, unique flavors unlike what I usually am served. I absolutely loved it. The restaurant is small and cozy inside and the service is friendly and fast. Great prices with lunch specials. Can't ask for more than that. I look forward to eating there again on my next trip to Show Low. read more

I love Mexican food. But this place was a total disappointment! No flavor to the food, no sauces. The veggie burrito was just beans and a few pieces of lettuce. The relleno was dry and tastless. Refried beans and rice was average at best. Probably the worst Mexican food (or close to it) that I've ever had. Sat for nearly 20 minutes waiting for a waitress to take our order. The server treated us as if she was doing us a favor by even acknowledging us. To call the food served as anything but well below average would be a disservice to anyone reading this review. read more

Seriously the worst food my mom and I have ever had and we didn't eat it. We paid the $32.00 bill left and went to Charlie Clarks. I had a beef taco and guacamole. The so called guacamole was like a sauce and didn't taste good, salsa was like red ketchup water and the beef in my taco was like pressed dried out beef fibers. My mom found a gizzard in her chicken taco. I almost got sick at the table. Worst meals of our lives. Waitress was good but never again. read more

Great food, Mom and Pop style restaurant, will definitely be back, large portions, friendly service

This was hands down the best mexican food I had in AZ!!! This is a small mom and pop place which I absolutely love!!! The food taste like your sitting at your grandma houses!! I had the taco, chicken enchilada and rice. The taco shell is all handmade and you can taste the love in the food. Everything was seasoned perfectly!! This is a must try when in Show Low read more

NOW OPEN!! (June 21, 2017) Great news!! Just spoke to the staff at the La Casita East location in Globe AZ, Show Low location to reopen here in the near future. (Summer 2017) Location was rented to Italian restaurant for a short lease. But now will reopen as La Casita again soon! Unbeknownst to my spouse and I, we've eaten at every location and love the food!! The other locations are also a family and friends' favorites. In fact just we stopped at the East Globe location to pickup burritos for the drive down to Tucson. Yum yum!! read more

La Casita has homestyle Mexican Food. No fluff, just good basic comfort Mexican food. They keep in all in the family, same family as so many restaurants in Globe and Mammoth. Have loved all the La Casita restaurants. So glad they have re-opened. If you looking for fancy Mexican this isn't your place, but if you want good Mexican comfort food, this is it. The building is an old house and not in the best shape, and during part of the year the mountain has flies, so if you read about the flies in a previous post, please realize it's not just La Casita, the flies are everywhere up here in every restaurant, every home, every business. They are impossible to keep under control. We love this place, it reminds me of the Mexican comfort food I use to get in Scottsdale growing up at Los Olivos. Again nothing fancy, just usually good food. read more

This was the worst Mexican Food I have ever had. I have had TV Dinners that were better, even Jack In The Box tacos are better. I ordered tostadas and the refried beans were put on like butter on toast, same with guacamole. The tortilla was so bad that I decided to just scrape off the topping. This meant I had lettuce and tomato for lunch. read more

We saw La Casita and couldn't pass it up. It looks like a hole, but the parking lot was full. Two reliable signs that the food is good, and it did not disappoint. I had a enchilada/taco combo, which was excellent. The beans and rice are top notch. The salsa is good but weird. There is some spice in it that we could not identify. This was the second restaurant today wherein someone asked us if we were from the valley. I guess we look like city-folk. read more

There were lots of cars in the parking lot, so figured it must be good. What a disappointment. Chips were probaby the worst I've ever had- so stale and funky tasting couldn't possibly be made in house. "Salsa" if thats what you want to call it, was pureed, came in a squirt bottle and was blah. The rice was actually some of the most flavorfull I've ever had and the refried beans tasted very good, but were so watered down they wouldn't stay on the fork. Employees acted like we were inconveniencing them by being there. Will not be back. read more

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Show Low! Yummy and great prices, especially during lunch. I didnt give it five stars because I know that the food could be a tad bit better (rice is kind of bland and the enchildada sauce is okay) but it is the best you are going to find up on the mountain! read more
