Love this place! My fiancé is from the Bronx and it's so hard to find a good Spanish spot that fits his criteria! But this place is amazing. Staff are really friendly and food is amazing, empanadas and tostones are so good. I love the pepper steak and rice. My fiancé loves the carne asada tacos! And the passion fruit juice is to die for! I have never ate inside, only did take out. I would recommend it to everyone. read more

This place is the place to go for affordable, quick and tasty food. There is plenty of parking and seating inside. I ordered a canoa, pupusas con chicharron y queso, and a guatemalan tamale. I underestimated how filling it would all be, and my total was only $11. Do not skip on the canoa, it was fantastic and had a lot of flavor. The papusa didn't impress me, it felt older and didnt have much filling. It also was missing the queso part of it. They also had a few cans of tropi-coco, make sure to get that! read more

Great value, food was good, but not expensive quality. Place was clean, staff was helpful, they have a lot of seating for a place that primarily does counter service which is great to see. So far I recommend the canoas, tamales and burritos. Portions were all great. They also have juices and sodas. Decent amount of parking and accessible entrance inside. The kind of staff that remember repeating customers. read more

Banging. Best food in town. Everything is ordered was delicious. I am a picky eater and they have very tasty food.

I was craving tacos so I went to this Latin restaurant because I checked online they had pretty cheap tacos. They didn't disappoint! Food: average: 8/10 4 piece carnitas tacos: $10 Compared to other restaurants I've looked at, one taco costed average about 6-7 dollars. So this was an amazing deal! Taco is very good, it had onion, cilantro and lime. Very filling, the only thing was it was a bit greasy. 8.7/10 Medium Combo meal: yellow rice with pepper steak: $10 It was decent, nice texture with the steak, rice was good. I'll ask for less broth next time because it made my rice a bit too soggy. 8/10 Vanilla Flan: $4 I've never had flan before so I thought I would try it! It's pretty good, too sweet for my liking, but I don't usually like sweet things in general. But it's a nice treat to have once in a while! 7.5/10 Service and ambience: 10/10 peaceful atmosphere, place was very clean and people were friendly! Overall for the price it's great, if you're craving for Latin food and want something on the cheaper side this is the place to go! I definitely will come back to try the other things on the menu! 8.5/10 read more

I didn't know what to expect because they offer a vast array of Latin cuisine instead of just specializing in one type. I was not disappointed. The server was super friendly and though mostly just tables there was some decor to liven up the place. Their desserts are so delectable. I ended up going back and getting more to take home. Got a medium combo platter and asked for congri, beans, pernil, and maduros and everything was delicious. The server looked at the pernil on the line and didn't think it was good enough to serve so he had us wait and got some fresh from the back with the crispy bits we love. I have had their empanada before and wasn't super impressed but I think it really depends what you get. read more

Excellent. I met a good friend here for lunch - it was my first time - and wow! I got the chicken tacos and they were absolutely delicious. The best I've had. They were friendly, fast, clean...and the tacos came with 4 for $10. We ate there and the pic is of the 2 left over that I brought home for later. I highly recommend. read more

Mi Casa Grande - Chicken tacos (2 of the original 4, but I ate 2 before taking this pic). - Caribbean Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Mi Casa Grande was bright and clean. The two women behind the counter were patient and helpful as I asked questions about the food and made my selections. I decided on stewed chicken and yellow rice, with red beans on top. The chicken was very tender, seasoned very well and I had asked for extra broth and it was extremely flavorful over the chicken and rice The mango juice was very good too. read more

Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Had the Flautas and they were delicious. I would highly recommend it

The whole experience was very good. We were cordially greeted and seated. The menu was very varied and our waitress very congenial. Food was served very promptly, we found it hot and tasty. Follow up service was good but not intrusive. CG is becoming one of our places to go. read more

My favorite place to order tacos! I love that they offer a wonderful selection of authentic Latin food. Everything is so flavorful and delicious. I highly recommend! Tortillas are fresh, along with the homemade made juices and portions are decent, especially for the price. Im so happy I found this place a few years back I've been a patron ever since. read more

Mi Casa Grande - 4 Piece Carnitas Tacos - so so good - Caribbean Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Great prices, even better food. Four tacos for $10! I can confidently say this is my favorite Latin American cuisine in the Syracuse area. Since my first time visiting only a few months ago, I have been back twice. The shop is always clean, and the staff are so friendly. I highly recommend! read more

Had an order of the carnitas tacos. It was great. I just wish you could split them up and get different kinds but the carnitas is so good. read more

Was otw to Albany and made a stop here because Layla's is closed down. I was so glad we did because the food was delicious. Everything was so fresh. The service was amazing and fast. The ambiance is pretty basic, just a hige dining room with tables and chairs to eat at. I would definitely be coming regularly. The portions were huge and my mango juice hit the spot! The parcha was also delicious! read more

The interior of the restaurant is pretty sparse and there is not much in the way of decorations which is OK because they apparently put their efforts into the food. I had the beef stew with Cuban rice and beans which were delicious. I also had a quite tasty empanada with a can of coconut soda to wash it all down with. read more

Best Tacos we've had in NY! Proper authentic, I'm super picky because I'm from so cal. Carnitas tacos, pork burrito, and chicken quesadilla were fantastic. read more

We went almost at closing on Sunday , and the food was as delicious as if it had just been made. The restaurant is one of my top favorites. Great service, friendly faces, and amazing food. Prices are very reasonable for the quantity they give you. Sheila Marsh read more

I was seeking some authentic Latin food and came across this place. I drove past this place today and decided to try it out. Here is the experience I had: Parking - there is a big parking lot at the restaurant. I didn't have any trouble finding a spot but when I left the parking lot did seem full. (I stopped on Wednesday around 7pm) Customer Service - there were two young girls working the counter. They were both friendly with each other and with the customers. I informed them it was my first time there and they were patient with me and explained a few things. Check out was quick and easy. Food - I reeeeeally wanted to try the pupusas but they were sold out for the night. The girl working the counter gave me the insider tip that the best time to grab some pupusas is in the morning so I'll definitely be back to try them. I ended up getting a few empanadas and maduros. They were all tasty and went well with my passion fruit drink. Experience - this place was full of Latin American folks. It's definitely not Tex-Mex or Taco Bell so be ready for an authentic experience here. I took my food to-go! read more

So this isn't much to look at. The food is cafeteria style and the lighting is fluorescent or maybe leds but to bright BUT the food is so good. The Cuban rice is a meal. The chicken is delicious. So are the plantains. Waiting for the mofongo. We will see. But cheap, homemade and what nice people. So, local and hard working people who we should support. So the mofongo took 20 minutes and is delicious. The pulled pork is even better. Your patience is rewarded. . read more

I'm always happy to see more Latin food options in the area. The name had me thinking this is Mexican food, but it's not, it's Puerto Rican. There are a lot of choices of entrees, as well as 4 styles of rice to choose from. You can mix and match, and include more than one dish, which is a nice if you have a big appetite or just can't decide. I got the beef stew with Mexican rice, which was quite good, but I have to admit that I think that Don Juan, on Grand Ave near the Gifford zoo, is better. Also, I asked my server for a recommendation and she acted irritated and refused to suggest anything. I thought that was an odd approach for a new restaurant to take, when they are still in the phase of trying to cultivate customers. read more

Nothing special regarding the interior as it's rather sparse, but it's not a distraction to the food. After all, I'm about the food and not necessarily about ambiance. So let's focus on the food. Bottom line up front is that I truly enjoyed my meal as did my wife and son. By no means is this a TexMex or an Americanized Latin restaurant which is a very good thing. However, what it is is a legit and authentic Latin restaurant with flares of Puerto Rico & Mexico. I can honestly say it's a strong 3+/4- restaurant. I will reserve calling it any higher until I revisit and order off the menu as this review is based of what they had on the hot bar. However, if their hot bar is any indication of what they have on the menu I am looking forward to my next visit. Even though it was a hot bar it as very good - nothing was dried out or over cooked at all. The meats (5-6 choices) were flavorful, the rice (4 variants) were very nice and the meal was spot on with generous portions. I will be back and I'd recommend it to Friends and Family without any hesitation. read more

Incredible food! I've ordered in person and gotten delivery. This restaurant is a favorite of my partner and mine. The food is always so good, the portions are generous, and the prices are so reasonable. You can tell the food is made with love. read more

The beef empanadas meet is ground too finely but everything else is great! Pepper steak is a family favorite. I also like the stuff with pineapple in it but forgot the name. read more

Such good food. Empanadas, papusas, and tamales are all good. Their coconut flan is great! Mostly meant for takeout but there's a nice place to sit and eat your food too. Great service and large portions! read more

This spot is legit! Food is great but I can tell when they have different people cooking. The first time I had they'd arroz con gandules (yellow rice) it was on point!! The next few times I went I could tell someone else made the rice that day, it was still good but not as good as the first time I went. Their pupusas are excellent with authentic slaw served with it. Carnitas tacos were ok, the carnitas could have been seasoned more. The last time we went, their pernil was seasoned perfectly and nice n juicy. They have a mix of Hispanic foods from Puerto Rican, Mexican, Cuban and El Salvadoreño. read more

Part of my family is from PR and my cousin tasked me with finding some food Puerto Rican dishes in Syracuse. I got takeout, so maybe that's why I wasn't too thrilled with the mofongo; the plantains were dry and the chicken stew didn't have much "stew" or broth at all. I always thought mofongo was served with some broth or liquid of some kind. However, the fried pork platter canoas, and pupusa con chicharron y queso were all delicious! I'm giving it four stars because the flavor was there; food tasted really good and I'm excited to try more items on their menu. I was a bit disappointed by the mofongo, but again, might've been because of takeout and I would try it again with a different meat. read more

I LOVE this place. I've tried several Latin/Spanish restaurants in the area and so far this is my favorite. Mi Casa Grande is the real deal! The food was amazing. I've only been once, but bought several items for me and my family. I moved here from NYC and I've missed Latin/Spanish food terribly. This restaurant has filled that void for me. Pernil with Cuban rice and yuca - all amazing Beef and cheese empanada - absolutely delicious My husband had the stewed chicken and baked chicken with Puerto Rican rice and a chicken and cheese empanada. He enjoyed all of his food. The service was wonderful. They are super friendly! I'm definitely going to be a regular. I also plan on spreading the word about how yummy their food is. I've heard that new "ethnic" food places go out of business fairly quickly in Syracuse and I want this place to be here as long as I live here! read more

Excellent food , great prices, great portions, very friendly staff, my only critique would be chicken could be a little less dry. I have no complaints, I will continue to get food here whenever I am in the area. The beef empanadas are amazing!! read more

It's small and not as decorated as a lot of restaurants but they put their utmost efforts in the food! The portions are huge and the staff are friendly. I forgot my empanada when I left and she ran out to get me. I had already left at that point and didn't realize until I got home. So I called the restaurant and she immediately remembered and apologized. I headed over there later that night to pick it up and they were just such a good bunch of people (who make amazing food). read more

We had a large order that we called in. She said 20 minutes, I said take 30, and that's when we showed up. The food wasn't ready though. She first asked us to wait 5 minutes, then 10 more minutes. And she held true to the last delay. We ordered a variety of pupusas (awesome); tamales (moist and ok tasting); mufongo with pork (pork ok; plaintain mixture is an acquired taste); burritos (decent but need salsas badly); tacos (same as burritos); coconut flan (smooth & excellent & not too sweet); tres leches (pretty good). Pretty busy dinner takeout business. I hope they succeed. read more

I'm giving this place 2 stars because I found hair in my beans and rice. This is the second time I found hair in my food. I will not be returning. read more

The worst Spanish food I've ever had. The chicken was DRYYYYYYYYYYYY. Like the most dry chicken I've ever had. It was not sitting in any juice or anything to keep it moist. The rice was hard in some part and the beans had no flavor. You can tell it wasn't made fresh today. They used to be so good when they first opened but they got lazy. It sucks that their sister store on Lodi is closed on Sundays.... read more

Kind'a have mixed feelings about getting the word out. BUT this place just has great tasting food! Selfishly, I don't want it to get too popular because then I'd have to wait in line. But also, want them to succeed! I just had their tamales, empanadas, papusos, fried chicken. Was all good, seriously. Only wish I had some more of their spicy sauce to drizzle over everything. Getting hungry yet?? read more

This place is fantastic! I'm from out of the area and it will for sure be a go-to when I'm in the area. Probably one of the best burritos and tacos I've had in ages! read more

Good food compared with others Latin restaurants- not many anyway but very very slow; same person who serves also is the cashier. Not good to be so long in the restaurant. Should hire another person and perhaps more people will come. read more

SOOO delicious and I'm glad they renovated that old building. I hope they do well they deserve it.

First time here. Lady behind the counter could have care less about us being there. She wasn't helpful at all. When she was taking our order she kept walking away. Then at check out, she kept asking us if we want food that is supposed to come with the meal we ordered. Well if it comes with our meal, then why why aren't you giving it to us? The food smells good and looks good. Have not made it home to taste it, even if it is good we won't be back to visit. read more
