I was pleasantly surprised when I asked about the margaritas--they don't use a high-fructose corn syrup mix but make their own instead. Good job! The food is pretty good, and the salsa actually has some spice to it, which I appreciate. The fajitas were decent, although the meat wasn't quite as thick, juicy, or tender as I prefer. Overall, it's a fun spot with a great atmosphere, good food, and quality margaritas.

I was concerned since there was no motion inside and no cars out front. Upon closer inspection I saw that the lights were on, so I tried the door and went in. The staff seemed surprised to have a fine in customer, but dutifully made my burrito. The good: Food was fine. Dining area was meticulously clean. Manager seems to be doing her best. The bad: Bathroom was a disaster and things in general were run down. The other employees were not rude, but clearly were not excited to be there. I would eat here again if I have a Freebirds craving, but if I was introducing someone to the chain, I'd probably take them to one of the other locations.

Casa Medina recently took over the location where Papa Lacho's used to be, with no break in…read moreservice. We came in the other night to try out the new place, and got some of its story from the friendly and voluble manager (might be the location owner). Apparently the owners took over the location about three months ago and have been "using Papa Lacho's menu". They have now switched to the Casa Medina menu and changed the signs. The Mexican restaurant market in this area is very crowded, so this restaurant is trying hard to stand out. A couple of notable things off the top: 1) They use very little salt in their dishes. For me, I think not enough for proper seasoning but if you're trying to avoid salt it might be a good option. And you can always add some. 2) The Casa Medina menu is very large, much larger than the Papa Lacho's menu. Nice for choice if all those dishes can be executed well. We started off with the Mexican Street elote. This is a white corn served on the cob with the traditional spices. With the lower salt level the tajin and lime stood out. A good start. The salsas with the free chips were quite good, nice depth of flavor and not real spicy. The red salsa is served warm, the green chilled. For mains we got the Chicken Chipotle Enchiladas and the Fish y Camarones a la Diabla. The enchiladas sounded quite promising but I have to say the flavor was a little off for me. Slightly sweet with not enough salt to balance. But the food was well prepared and I would be confident in trying something else. I usually do not take a Tex-Mex place seriously when they say a dish is hot. That would be a mistake here. The fish and shrimp dish really brought the heat. For fish you have five choices--the cheaper ones are tilapia and basa. I have never had basa so gave it a try. It's an Asian whitefish that substitutes for tilapia. It had a soft texture like tilapia, if you weren't told you might not know the difference. The shrimp were cooked properly with a nice snap. For dessert we got the sopapillas. These were nicely done, not greasy and crisp on the outside. They are served with whipped cream and honey. For drinks we got a jamaica and an avocado martini. The jamaica is a good representation--no free refills, but the glass is very large so you wouldn't want one. The avocado martini came recommended to us by a customer of their Shenandoah location. There's just enough avocado to make the drink green and opaque. You get the creamy overtone and just a hint of avocado flavor, not too much. I liked it. The interior is appealing, with nice representational paintings of food scenes. The bathrooms were clean and ready. Service was attentive and friendly. I'm giving it a 3.5 and rounding up. It's not perfect but definitely worth a try. It's very convenient to our house so I know we will be back.

Was definitely disappointed to arrive RIGHT as happy hour ended. Literally on the dot. A lot of places will honor HH prices if you're that close (on the minute), but not so lucky here. I wanted an old fashioned. I know Torchy's is known for their margaritas, but an OF is pretty standard fare at any bar, right? Not here. So I tried something else... which was okay but not what I wanted. Almost went with 4 stars because of food and wait time, but... I left sad. HH policy should have a little flexibility, if nothing else. Within a minute. I just need to go with different expectations next time. I never HH at Torchy's so this was literally a first. And I won't HH there again. Tacos only.

I was excited to try this place as it just recently opened up. I went for lunch & the place was fully empty. We had no wait to order & our food came out quickly. I got three tacos - carne en salsa verde, pollo pibil, and picadillo. It was just ok. The flavors were mild & the meat was a little dry. I feel like when you have tacos like this - the meat really needs to be great, and it just didn't hit the spot for me. I ordered the Jamaica agua Fresca & the staff gave me a lemonade. The lemonade was ok, it was a little too sweet for my taste. The salsa were good. It ended up being around $13 for 3 tacos and a drink, which I thought was pretty pricy. They had a nice interior. I liked the decorations & that there was a handwashing station in the back. Overall, I probably wouldn't come here again, but was interesting to try.

It was after 10am so I was worried they were finished with breakfast, but no! The restaurant only had one customer when we came in, but behind us came another 10 customers.

And, hubs had barbacoa- he was happy, no cheeks that he could tell, just roast but he would totally get it again- tender and juicy. We cannot find good breakfast tacos back home- this is exactly what we wanted, couldn't have asked for more. We'll be back next time we are in town!

The meat was very tasty, and my those handmade tortillas made the difference. Everything came out extremely hot and fresh. My husband ordered a Jamaica water, it was amazing!

We ordered beef fajitas for one for pick up. We've done this so many times thru out the years, but just like the last time, we received cold food and half of what would seem to be enough for a small child lol. Freezing cold salsa, half blended, not even enough fajita meat for 2 small tacos. About 3 tablespoons of charro beans w more vegetables than beans all for what used to be around $17 is now almost $34. We get that prices rise but shouldn't the portions at least fit the price? Sorry but no thanks. We'll be finding a new restaurant all together.
