What a nice little sip and munch we had at Las Casuelas. We hadn't been back since the name change and were a little hesitant but such wonderful weather demand margs and nachos and that is exactly what we ordered! Service was prompt and friendly and we didn't want for anything. Our Cadillac pitcher came out fast and with two salted glasses. For food we munched on the bean dip (which was great but desperately needed salt) and salsa before deciding on a nice heaping plate of nachos. Plate was a little small but it was piled! I wish it had been a little cooler inside or had some fans going but that's just a personal preference. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other margs! read more

I've driven past and planned to stop in one day; that day was today as I had a little extra time and wanted to sit and enjoy dinner. The place is attractive but also kind of empty for dinner time on a Tuesday night. The kind of empty that has you wondering if you made a mistake as you're being seated. Actually there were a few cars parked outside and the place is just so big and kind of compartmentalized so maybe I just couldn't see where the patrons were. My order included a beef taco and chile relleno. The taco protein was entirely cold, the hard shell was cold and oily and even without these issues the taco was nothing special. Why even bother serving the most boring office taco bar version of a taco possible. The chile relleno tasted like old oil which meant the neither item was very good. When I left there was maybe 2 cars in the lot which made me realize maybe I came during the evening rush. All those patrons I couldn't see had left before 7:45 pm. Overall, there's no reason for me to go back. Unfortunate. read more

I don't recommend anybody to come to this restaurant. You been warned. This place is very deceiving. Such a brand new restaurant with elegant interior, but the food quality is horrible! This is the worst Mexican restaurant I've been to in my life. The seafood was extremely salty, no flavor and enough to spit out and the soup was very simple bland. They also charge an arm and leg, very expensive. Not worth coming back. read more

I have been here several times, just because the location is convenient but after my last visit, I won't be going back. The service here is always substandard. They seat you and I truly believe they forget you exist. This last time, we waiting about 10 minutes after being seated for the waitress to come to our table, if busy, I would understand, but there were 6 parties in the entire restaurant and 3 servers! Once the food came, we were not provided utensils so after waiting for our mysterious server Camila, I opted to just steal them off another table, Once the food came, it was evident no care was given to cooking it. The peppers in my quesadilla were hard, literally crunch and barely cooked, the tacos were greasy and the meat was grey, like boiled beef. The ambiance is nice and the restaurant is always clean, but I won't be seeing the inside of the place again! read more

We had lunch here last week. We got there right after they opened, so there was no wait and we were one of the first in there. Staff was friendly, seated and served chips/salsa/bean dip quickly. Salsa has a kick to it for sure, but still so good. Food came and mine tasted delicious! We had ate here when it was Memos and was not impressed but now it was very good! We will be back for sure! read more

Modesto-There were three of us and funny enough, all three of us ordered the same entrée! The ambience of this place is very cool and very chic. Drinks were especially yummy, but I have a complaint about the drink menu....WAY TOO MANY choices! There were about six different drinks I wanted to try, but I narrowed it down to some coconut margaritas and left it at that. lol They were delicious. All of us had the shrimp quesadillas. Perfectly cooked and stuffed full of shrimp and cheese. Beans and rice were yummy as well. This is a restaurant that has been around Modesto for several years and they are consistently great. Service was not amazing, but the food was fantastic. read more

They really have decorated this place extremely well, the big mural as you enter dining area is incredible. Excellent service, my wife asked for a spicy sauce, waitress came back a while later and explained she added some dry chile de árbol to their spiciest salsa...game recognizes game!!! My wife can eat chile this waitress recognized that and made her a special one, it was apparently very good, i can't hang with my wife's spicy eating game so i won't attempt to try something that she thinks it's spicy, that's just painful. I ordered tampiquena plate and wife a chicken wet burrito which were both really good. Overall 4.5 stars for vibe, service and food. Will be coming back for sure. This would be a great place to watch a soccer or futbol game large tvs and very nice outdoor sitting area also. read more

This review is for Las Casuelas on Sylvan Ave, the first time since it closed as Memos and re-opened under the new name. The decor seemed unchanged (nice, modern for the most part with private booths added.) My wife and I found the food of good quality, with an interesting, flavorful red pepper a part of the shrimp dish my wife had and I tasted. Not at all hot but added a nice flavor to the offering. The meal was standard fare overall, nothing to distinguish it from the three other such Mexican places within a 3/4 mile radius. To be honest a small step down from two of them. The service was OK but not proactive, having to flag down someone to order. In fact both my wife and I noticed one server standing chatting with the solo lady in the next table almost the entire time of our visit. One wonders what his peers thought of the sharing of duties. read more

Las Casuelas - Overall enjoyable but not spectacular. We felt that when it was Memos, it was a bit better. - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

We went there in a family gathering. First of all, the free chips and salsa are AMAZING. The chips are warm and freshly cooked. I will go again there just for the chips. Coming to the food, I ordered burrito loco which is like a Cali burrito. It comes with fries, guacamole, chicken, rice and bean inside. It tastes good expect I feel the Chicken should be more seasoned, mine tastes very chicken. I normally don't enjoy the boil meat flavor (I am Indian duhh) I took off one star because of the chicken. The service is excellent, the server gave two refills of the chips, mostly consumed by me. And we didn't ask for it, she asked if we want refill. Also we waited 10-15 mins for part of the family to arrive, and the server didn't ask once if we are ready to order, no rushing of any kind. A must visit Mexican place. I will definitely go again there. read more

We stopped into Las Casuelas before going shopping and were seated immediately, which was a nice start. My party and I ordered quesadillas, carnitas, and a burrito. The chips and salsa were really good, and the beans they served alongside were a nice and tasty touch. Unfortunately, the rice was crunchy, which made us think it might have been overcooked. Overall, the food was okay--not amazing, and I've definitely had better. Maybe I just need to try more of their menu items to get a better feel for the place. The restaurant did seem to have a steady flow of people coming in, so here's hoping for a better experience next time. read more

Was our first time there and thought the place was stunning. We were hoping to find our new restaurant spot but unfortunately, we left feeling very disappointed and uncomfortable. First time hearing of milk in beans, but would have loved to have been warned prior to consumption, as dairy products upset my stomach. Hoping that for the future servers will be more conscious of customers in that regard as well as allow then to breathe a bit during their meal. We felt very pressured and rushed to pay our bill and get out as soon as possible. Confused why it required three separate people to monitor us. Would have loved to come back, but that dining experience just left a sour taste in our mouth. We'll continue to look around. read more

They can be excellent and can be terrible. We order the chicken revolcados every time. Some times they're five star worthy, and like last week...we couldn't even eat it. No one asked if everything was ok, even after seeing we only had a bite. When it's good, the flavors are amazing! When it's bad, it has no flavor other than tastes like it was sitting in raw chicken juices before serving it to us. I wish they were more consistent, so I could give it a higher rating :( read more

Las Casuelas - 3 bandidos and burrito supreme - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

Very clean and large location. Was surprised to find it empty. No one even at the bar. I see why now. Slow and careless service. Sat there for several minutes ignored . With no other customers around mind you. We are used to the Dale location. The drinks are not even close to the same. There isn't a real bartender at this location. No tajin, or muddled cucumber in my cucumber margarita. No chamoy rim. Asked for a double, couldn't even remember that. Management should be on top of securing a decent bar tender like Miguel or Omar. Weak , half assed drinks. Piss poor service. I don't see this location making it long. Too bad. Lots of potential. 2 weak drinks for $25. No thanks . read more

Las Casuelas - 3 meat molcajete - Mexican Near Me - Modesto, California

I have been patronizing Las Casuelas Mexican Restaurant on Sylvan Avenue for the last several months. Las Casuelas is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Modesto and I have been buying food-to-go there one to two times per month. On June 13th, I stopped by and ordered the dish, "Enchiladas Mexicanas." I purchased the food with my debit card. I went home, started eating the food and - to my utter shock - found a large piece of USED CHEWED meat cartilage in my enchiladas that came off the plate of another (dine-in) customer. I was grossed out by the taste. I took it out and was disgusted. I took a screenshot of the used meat, discarded the food and left home to return to the restaurant. Once there, the place was full of customers and I asked to speak with the owner. A few minutes later, a manager came to see me at the front desk. I told him exactly what happened in detail. I showed him the screenshot of the meat to which he took a picture of it. The manager quickly offered to either refund my money or offer me a new plate. I opted for the new plate and asked him to watch over whomever would fix my plate, which he agreed to do. He also offered me a drink as I wait for the food, to which I agreed. I ordered this dish a few times before so I know what it tastes like and never had a problem with it - or any other plate of food I ordered there before - until now; I told the manager this fact and stated that whomever prepared the first dish will have to be dealt with. He assured me that he would get to the bottom of the matter. Since that day, I wondered if anything was done about the employee that fixed my to-go plate, and I wanted to find out whether that employee was still working there so I will be better able to decide if to continue visiting the restaurant. So last Friday, June 27th, I paid a follow up visit to Las Casuelas. That was how much I really liked their food. However, at that time there were hardly any other customers there. I spoke with the same manager and asked him what he found. He stated that he spoke with the kitchen employees and that no one put anything in my food - despite the screenshot of the meat/cartilage I showed him in front of all the customers that were around me. I told him I did NOT expect workers to admit to wrongdoing. He stated that none of the preparers chewed meat and put it inside my plate. I told him that "I never said that the preparer chewed food and put it in my plate. I said that the piece came off the plate of another customer that dined in." I told him that the used (chewed) meat/cartilage from another customer's plate posed a public health risk and that there is no telling what (illness, disease) that was in the meat. However, he continued to deny any wrongdoing on any employee's part. The last question I asked him was if they have any cameras in their kitchen, to which he answered "yes." Afterwards, the manager asked me if I were going to place an order. I responded by saying, "Not today, I'm having something else." So, he said, "Sorry, I got to go." I said, "Ok, thank you" and left. I am NOT looking for any financial or material benefit in writing this review-public announcement and I make it clear that I did NOT make a follow-up visit last Friday for the purpose of requesting and/or receiving any financial (ex: refund, etc.) or material (ex: free food) benefit. I did NOT request anything other than wanting the employee to no longer work at Las Casuelas, especially since the manager answered "yes" to my question of whether the restaurant has cameras in the kitchen to watch what goes on. Since there are cameras in the kitchen there is no way that went on could not be recorded and seen. The manager's complete denial of everything I said happened with my food to my face was both disrespectful and insulting because in doing so, HE CALLED ME A LIAR! It was disrespectful because he conveyed that I was being dishonest about what happened and concocted the negative experience. It was insulting because he indirectly implied that I put the meat-cartilage in my food myself and lied on his employee(s) so I could obtain some type of benefit. It was also an insult to me as a regular customer. He implied that I could not be trusted to be truthful in my report of a negative experience I encountered with their food for the first time! What he said made it very clear that he did not deal with the employee that fixed my plate of food and that the person is STILL working there - which answered my question on whether to continue buying food at there. read more

As a family of 4, we went early on Friday evening and I was pleasantly surprised to be immediately seated. The place was busy but not chaotic. The service was really fast and the food was delicious. I had the Baja Fish Tacos and while there was a little too much cabbage for my taste, it was fresh and the fish was cooked perfectly. My wife had the veggie fajitas and they were, again, quite good. My kids ordered lettuce wrap tacos and birria quesadillas and they really enjoyed it. The chips and salsa were fresh and plentiful, and again, the service was top notch. Will definitely be going here again. read more

We went three weeks ago and this would have been a five star review then but today we went as group of five and one person for our party kept thinking the waitress was being short and rude. I thought maybe she was imaging it but as the night went through her attitude was curt. Overall it was a bad experience and we will not be returning. It's unfortunate because the food was good. But when the service is subpar, the whole experience is affected. read more

We had a very nice lunch there last Thursday. The service from the nice girl who brought our water and chips and salsa and bean dip was amazing. I must say she was better than the waiter.

This used to be the new Memos location which we enjoyed coming to for the ambience and variety of drinks. Came here to try it now that's it's Las Casuelas and the food was okay. My wife got shrimp enchiladas and I got a burrito. Both were really oily. The vibe of the restaurant has changed since it switched over. A lot less lively than Memos was and I think food presentation needs to be improved. The plating looks like your average taqueria and doesn't fit the restaurant's atmosphere. Service was good. read more

We have eaten at several Las Cazuelas restaurants, this one we have eaten at three times before because it's closer to our house. We have also ordered the same thing that we ordered last night. My husband queso birria tacos which looked like enchiladas not taco type like usual and the dipping sauce was very watery. I ordered a taco salad with Carnitas, with no refried beans and just a little bit of black beans. It came with refried beans on the bottom that they set the taco shell on and a crap ton of black beans. I don't like to complain so I didn't , the waiter asked me about the food and I showed him all of the black beans and the refried beans and he said he was going to have it remade for me, I said no I'm just gonna go home. I'm done eating and he insisted. I thought that was nice. He came back The chef that clearly did not understand. No beans told him the beans are on the bottom so the taco shell doesn't move around, I understand that and know that I did not want them. Anyway, when I got home and opened the brand new Carnitas taco salad it was full of black beans. No refried beans but more black beans then was in the original salad. Pretty much this was intentional from the chef. We've never had this experience before must be a new chef. Or a chef that had a bad day. Maybe I'll just stick with a different location. read more

We made the best of it. Salad was old/turning/withering/trash. Staff was clearly more preoccupied with completing activities to prep to close and it was only 8pm. There were issues with the food, but we did what we could considering it was getting late (not much stays open restaurant-wise in the area). read more

Really cute, clean place with good vibes. Will definitely be back! Started off with a spicy skinny margarita--$10 & super good. I ordered Enchiladas Mexicanas & husband ordered a Super Burrito. We liked both and the food came out super fast and hot! Service was friendly and prompt. We ordered my son a kids burrito and rice. He liked the rice. But he's picky and an unreliable source. Lol. read more
