Amazing Mexican Food Experience! Absolutely loved the food! The jalapeño poppers were crispy, cheesy, and had the perfect amount of spice. The nachos were loaded with toppings, fresh, and super delicious--definitely a must-try! The Piña Colada was refreshing, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Overall, a great place for Mexican food with delicious flavours and a fun vibe. Definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

Amazing atmosphere and the food was incredible! All the staff were very friendly too. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

We went to La Casita in Gastown after watching a Whitecaps game at BC Place. The restaurant was full and I think it was quite short staffed on the day that we went - there was basically just one person running around taking everyone's orders, bringing everyone's food, and settling the bills. As a result, everything took a bit of time, but we understood the circumstances and didn't find it an issue. When the drinks and food arrived, we enjoyed them. The portions were large and the food was good (but I'd say, not spectacular). For a similar price, I personally enjoyed some of the other Mexican restaurants in the Gastown area, although I don't think this should dissuade anyone from checking out La Casita if there's something on the menu that interests them! read more

We went for an early dinner, had a reservation but didn't really need it at 5.30 as there were plenty of open tables. They have a few outdoor tables as well but it is a busy intersection and I am not sure loud it would get with rush hour traffic. The tables actually sit in the street. Seated immediately, great service and good food. I am used to chips and salsa as complimentary but that was not the case here. Salsas were $3 each with chips and guacamole was $5. The guacamole was good and chips were crispy. I had a red pepper, cheese and onion quesadilla that was small but filling. It came with a flauta (a potato filled, fried egg roll like dish) it was different but I liked it. It also came wirh beans and rice. Hubby had 3 cheeseburger tacos tgat he enjoyed on taco Tuesday. Small tacos but the 3 satisfied him. Nice setting close to Gastown. read more

We got off a cruise and found a local Mexican food place for a group of 16. They had seating downstairs for our group and another large group of about 10. Our waitress did an excellent job waiting on both large groups with a positive attitude and attention to detail. The food was just ok. Not what we are used to with TexMex in Texas. The flavors were needing some spice for our taste. The margaritas were lemony limey and tart. I round up dipping a shot of tequila instead. read more

Bugs there is spider on the table so unsanitary and my nephew saw a cockroach on the chair leg would never come again very gross

This place went downhill since my last visit. The host was standing at the entrance but he was so awkward that we weren't sure if he worked there. His demeanor was standoffish but he led us to our table on the patio. I normally like their patio as it's spacious and decorated with flowers, but this time the experience wasn't great. Being in a bad area, there was a mentally ill man across the street who kept screaming out in pain. Also I watched the host awkwardly try to give free chips and salsa to everyone who walked by and he kept getting rejected so I said "I'll take a bag" and he replied "no cause you're already dining here." So I'm not as worthy because I'm a paying customer?! Got it, we won't be back. The food is not bad but the portions are small. We came for Taco Tuesday and each taco is $3.50. You need to order a lot of tacos to get full. We also ordered the enchiladas, which came with rice and beans. There's so many better Mexican restaurants in the area, I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

Went here last night with my buddies, we wanted to get some food before we went out for the night! This place was sooooooo goodddd! I got the quesabirria tacos, it came with beans, rice, cilantro, and guacamole. The consommé that you dip the tacos in was spectacular! The drink selection a they have are great as well! I got a couple Cadillac Margheritas, quite honestly they were some of the best cadilac margs i have had in my life! The Service was amazing as well! Our waitress was super nice and was always smiling! The restraunt has lots of seating upstairs and downstairs! I highly recommend this place 10/10 experience! read more

Great food and service! One of the best Mexican restaurants in Vancouver. Their burritos are great.

Food is decent, drinks are meh, service is terrible We went here for a friend's birthday so large group aka 18% mandatory gratuity, but service falls way short of them deserving such an amount. Party was nice to catch up with friends, but the servers really need to step up their game to deserve this type of gratuity. We got the tortilla soup for something light since we weren't too hungry, and they were able to accommodate since it was in the regular menu but not stated in the large group menu. The soup was hearty and delicious. It hits the spot. But $16 for the soup (they didn't even ask us the size, we would've gone a smaller size) is quite a rip off. Large group menu has dishes that were too filling and frankly overpriced. Dishes were $20-32+ and consistently pricier than other Mexican restaurants I've been here. We also got a bulldog margarita. This one was good but we also sampled our friends' margaritas and I could taste a powder texture - feels like their flavoring is powder form not actual fruit. Cutting corners for a higher than average priced cocktail. Service here is the definition of what deserves a 0% tip. We specifically wanted a tamarind bulldog margarita and they put the order through. We got a regular iced margarita instead. I flagged it and the server kept gaslighting me saying the regular was what she ordered and they never said they could make it tamarind to begin with, until after 5 min of back and forth the server admitted and remade the drink. There's no need to be stubborn and try to fake being right and refuse to do something that was originally communicated. Especially if they do 18% mandatory gratuity. Then they just slapped the drink on the table without saying anything - very rude Second, it took 20+ min to get the check. Most of the meal we barely saw the servers. When they do, they only focused on taking more food orders. Sure they would do that to squeeze more money. But at least do the requests in order. There are many options in the area so I wouldn't recommend this, since food was decent but overpriced while putting up with some of the worst service. read more

I was surprised to find this place. I've grown up around good Mexican food, and didn't really think to look for it during my trip to Vancouver. I kind of stumbled into this place by accident, but was surprised that I did so. Very decent good, nice service. I had the birria ship soup with quesadillas one night, which was especially good, and enchiladas on the other. read more

We stopped in after a concert at 11:30pm and the restaurant was busy, service was good and the kitchen was open. Great ambiance.

Food was great! The decor was cool and the ambiance fun! Felt authentic and would definitely go back!

Really good food and service. Enjoyed the vibe here. The place has really good Mexican vibe and food

If you get seated at the bar, I hope you're not ignored like me and my partner was. Came to eat and have a couple drinks, we wanted to experience Mexican food in Canada. Upon sitting down, my water glass was filled only once at my request. To be sitting at a tiny bar where there's a bartender making drinks constantly Nd you're seated directly in front if him, you'd think your water glass would be filled constantly if emptied. Nope! The food was mediocre. The "large" chimichanga is what I ordered. I can't imagine what the regular sized chimichanga would've looked like. It was flavorful but I couldn't help to think that the ingredients were like a puree. The insides were so very soft. No chunks of chicken but almost if it was puree. Best description I could give. Service is very slow. Again, had to ask for refills, had to ask for the check. If the food had taken any longer to be prepared, I would've asked time estimation for that too. read more

It was taco tuesday so my friends and I tried La Casita's taco deal. Each taco was $3.50 each and 16 oz. local draft were $4. I ordered a 16 oz. pale ale beer and 3 tacos. I got Carnita/braised pork, beef, and fish tacos. Our meal came with a complimentary plate of nachos with guacamole and spicy salsa dipping sauce. It wasn't bad at all, though the nachos were a bit stale. When the tacos arrived, they were a little smaller than I expected. But the taco fillings inside appeared to be well seasoned and well garnished with the meats. - fish taco was definitely fishy and sort of salty. The sauce that came with the fish didn't really add to the flavor. - beef taco was alright, it didn't really stand out in any way. It comes with mixed peppers and green onions. - carnita/braised pork shoulder taco was my favorite out of the 3 tacos i ordered. It was pretty tasty and well seasoned that upped the flavor. - pale ale beer went well with the meal. The place has typical mexican restaurant decor. It's a little darker than i'd like though. The walls are adorned with many typical mexican memorabilia. There were Luchador masks, interesting looking pinatas on the ceilings, tropical trees, and black and white mexican vintage tv shows. They played mariachi mexican folk music in the background. When it was time to ask for the bill, they were slow in getting back to us. We asked our server and it took them at least 10 minutes to get back to us. We had to ask again for it. It wasn't even that busy with only 3 or 4 tables being occupied at the time. Overall, the tacos were alright. Wish they were bigger. If I come again next time, I'll try their other tacos. They have a whopping 8 different tacos on the taco tuesday menu to choose from. Not bad if you're in the mood for some tacos on a tuesday! It's worth a try at least once. 3 out of 5 stars.-- read more

We walking in Gastown looking for a restaurant with some cooling to beat the Vancouver heat wave! La Casita had some good vibes going on and we found ourselves getting settled in for some Mexican food. The ambience takes you to Mexico including the sombrero on the wall! Our server Juan was very friendly and helpful in selecting our order. For drinks we got Jaritos grapefruit and spicy margarita. The margarita was good. For food we got the vegetarian chimichanga and enchiladas with both sauces. I really liked that both came with plenty of salad. Loved the flavor in the rice! The filling for the chimichanga was mushrooms and cheese, both are my favorite and hence I really liked the filling! Plenty of veggies in the enchilada too. A summer evening spent well! read more
