Look, I'm not gonna to lie you...I haven't eaten there in over 10 years. Not because it sucked, mainly because I can't get into the place. It's too busy. Guess why it's so busy? Because it's probably the best Mexican restaurant in Southern Arizona. And now, EVERYBODY knows it. I used to blame the Snowbirds, but it's obviously because of the "locals" now. Not many Canadians spend the summers with us, and the place is still crazy busy in July -but- If you can get in...do it! If I had the time to wait in line, I'd do it too. Enjoy! read more

My wife & I visited Benson this weekend, and tried this restaurant for lunch on Friday. It's small, and they only had 2 servers so we waited maybe 20 minutes for a table. BUT THE FOOD!!! The chips & salsa: chips were piping hot, and comes with a bowl of the best green salsa - perfectly sweet with that hint of hot at the end. Amazing! My wife ordered a horchata which was spectacular. My order- pictured shrimp tacos- were absolutely delicious and as you can see the presentation is top tier. We got their dessert special carrot cake to go and had it later that night. The carrot cake is beyond words crazy good. All around just a delightful experience! If you're within 80 miles of this place make the journey. I'm not kidding at all- best Mexican food I've ever had read more

Mi Casa Restaurant - Baja Shrimp Tacis - Mexican Near Me - Benson, Arizona

The most amazing and interesting Mexican food I've ever had, which is saying a lot cause I'm from Texas and have lived all over the desert South West and definitely had my share of all manner of Mexican. Each dish is individually made by a single woman... a professionally trained chef. We were told she had been doing this for well over half a century, and might be retiring soon. It makes me wish I had discovered Mi Casa years earlier. Worth the travel across the country to eat this deliciousness!! read more

Wow wow wow wow!!! What an amazing place to experience. We were some of the first people waiting in a long time before they even opened. We drove by and say this cute spot and it was worth every cent. They do have limited and I mean limited staff and they do have a sign out front that does let you know that the wait will be long and the staff is limited and to please be patient with them. I ordered a 2 item combination plate with a shredded beef tostada and a chicken enchilada it does come with beans and rice. My daughter ordered a 3 item combination plate with carnitas tacos and a beef tostada it came with beans and rice as well. You do have to ask for salsa and chips (it's free) but they don't want people to waste them so that's why you ask if you'd like some while you wait. The staff was super nice and must have the most patience I've ever seen at a restaurant. The demand for this place is high, it was packed and stayed that way until we left. The ambiance is an older style colorful and dim place with Hispanic photos on the walls and plants outside. I took pictures of the full menu, they do have a wife variety of items to choose from, I don't believe you can wrong with anything that you order. The tostada bowl is of another tables order I just that it was cool. I highly recommend stopping here if you're from out of town, out of the state or even if you're local. read more

Good Evening my friends, today Jen & I are on a two day road trip to Tucson Az and St David Az. It's Grandparents lunch day with Grandkids at school so have one today with Issac and tomorrow with Olivia. Lunch with Issac went well, after lunch we headed down to St David for our local Honey pickup, St David has some of the BEST Mesquite Honey so we make a road trip to get 2-3 gallons to take back home with us. Ok, let's talk about tonight's dinner, the choice was Mexican food so headed out ( downtown Benson Az ) to Mi Casa Restaurant, this is a small restaurant but was very busy while we were there, we were seated at a reasonable time and was greeted by the hostess who was very friendly for our drinks & dinner order, ok these plates are huge so pictures may seem like there's nothing on them lol, dinner was great I had the Popeye enchiladas with beans & rice and Jen had the Chili Riano and was happy with her choice, we left full and satisfied and ready now to relax for the evening. If ever passing through or going by Benson Az stop by and have lunch or dinner at Mi Casa Restaurant. read more

This gem is a must if ever in Benson AZ. Nestled back on a nondescript lot is a small eatery that houses a juggernaut of Mexican cuisine. Quaint and homey in decor, intimate in capacity but well worth any wait. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The food is the super star. Incredible home style food presented in Michelin style. Fresh prepared guacamole that is next level, homemade salsa and fried tortilla chips, a Horchata that is epic in size and flavor! The carrot and caramel cake is an existential flavor journey. If ever in the Benson/Tombstone area make a point to treat yourself to this experience. read more

Oh my god. This was the top 5 best restaurants i've ever been to. So delicious, the plate was completely clean after. Everything was perfect! The ambiance was so beautiful, it was so intimate. The waiter was so sweet and funny! We waited like 25 minutes for a table, because they can fit very little people in. The wait was so worth it though, and the food came to the table quickly after we ordered it. Such an amazing experience, you would've never thought! read more

Stop here! Yes, what an incredible place and bummed I didn't eat here more than once. Service- top shelf! Ambience- homey and charming seating for 28. I stopped by at 3:00pm on a Friday. Ordered Surf n turf enchiladas. There's no way to explain it other than mouth watering delicious and I want more! The green sauce (?tomatillo?) YUM! Red sauce (?8-10 diff chili peppers) not spicy but double YUMMY! Wow! And the 3rd Casa Sauce was Yum! The food and presentation is Michelin star!! Oh and I forgot the chips n salsa! The salsa was oh so delicious too. Did you roast the tomatoes and chilis? Mouth watering! read more

Food was top notch. Flavors were delicious with creative combinations. Service cost them a star though. Inattentive, almost dismissive server. Waited forever for everything as others were being served and checked on. Where most places give you chips and salsa, we had to ask for it, and then it took 10 minutes to come. Check also took 10 minutes to come after asking. This place is small with maybe a dozen tables inside, so there seemed to be no reason for the service we experienced. But let me end on the fact that the food was delicious, so give them a try! read more

Decided to try this place again and still not a fan of the food. I had the special which was enchiladas. The red sauce was pretty good but they put so much shredded cabbage on top of the enchiladas I had to scrape it off the enchiladas to be able to eat them. Wife had a chile relleno and an enchilada. Chile relleno was still cold so the cheese wasn't melted. The nice young girl brought out really watered down salsa. Big chunks of onion in it. Chips were way over cooked. The waiter never came and checked on us after we received our meal and was overall not very friendly. Will we go back? Probably not. This was our second time there and wasn't impressed. read more

Beyond amazing in every way (food, service and ambiance)! I had the baja shrimp tacos, enchiladas, guacamole and carrot cake-WOW!!!!!

This is an odd review. This restaurant is in a quaint little house set sort of off the main road. We were traveling through and it had great reviews and we decided to go local for lunch. There were people eating outside and we signed a sheet with our names to check in. There was a sign on the door that said they were short handed so please be patient with them. Long story short it took a long time to get in, order and be served. Once the food arrived it didn't matter, I ordered the taquitos, my husband had chile rellenos and my brother in law had the enchiladas. I am not exaggerating when I tell you it was about the best mexican food I have ever eaten. Delicious, ample portions and beautifully presented. We licked our plates clean. So, if you are not in a hurry or have anyplace else to be, do yourself a favor and slow down long enough to eat at Mi Casa, you won't be sorry. read more

Very friendly mom & pop Mexican food in a historic building. The special quesadilla was delicious with the red sauce. My friend got the big burrito and it looked great smothered in red sauce. Both of us had enough leftover for another lunch the next day. The hours are limited (Tue-Fri only) but worth stopping in when they are open! read more

Hubby and I had lunch with here with friends. The food was delicious and an absolute work of art. The owners are hands on - the wife is an amazing chef and the husband works the front end. It's a tiny restaurant, so there is often a wait of maybe half an hour, but well worth it for sure. read more

What a treat. This small but mighty restaurant did not disappoint. We were vacationing in Tucson and sightseeing in Tombstone, I yelped to find a good Mexican restaurant. This little gem popped up. The plates of food and good reviews brought us here. We drove by it twice because it's set back from the street. Maximum occupancy is 28! The locals dined here and outsider's we're bringing their friends. We're so happy that we found this restaurant. The eclectic ambiance was charming, the giant plates were impressive, especially with the delicious food placed upon them. The pork burrito was an explosion of tasty goodness as well as an appearance that matched! My salmon was fantastic. The carrot cake was sublime! I'm posting a picture of the exterior so you won't drive by and miss this little haven of splendor. read more

Wow! I was blown away by this little casita aka restaurant! It's an old house turned restaurant in Benson on the main highway to Tombstone! Very unassuming. You will NOT get a better meal in Tombstone, so stop herr first to get your fill. They have ample outside seating, as well as inside. Service was very friendly and hospitable. I ordered a refreshing drink that had lime and chia seeds and it was huge! My drink and meal was delicious and beautifully presented. Their chips were very good and you could tell they are homemade! Their salsa was just OK for me and our table. We all agreed it needed some more flavor to it. I wished for a variety of salsas to choose from. Overall, this little gem will blow you away! I'll make this a stop any time we are visiting the area. read more

I was "greeted" at the door with "Can I help you?" SERIOUSLY? I walked into a restaurant and was treated like I knocked on the door of a strangers house! "I'd like to get something to eat." "Well, is it just you?" ""Yeah, just me. Is that OK?" This was after standing inside the door for over 5 minutes while watching the same 2 waiters taking care of their tables. Eventually the younger one addressed me as above. "It'll be a few minutes. I'll wipe off a table for you." The finale was when I decided to get my food to GO rather than exchange any more pleasantries with them. He brought my food in a plastic bag and the check on a tray. I proffered a $20, and he asked me if I wanted any change from what I THOUGHT was a $12 burrito. "I can't even see what the total is.", I replied. "$17.50,", he said. KEEP IT, I replied and walked out the door. Upon arriving home I discovered there wasn't even a napkin in the bag, nor any kind of utensil. I guess if he thought at all, it was that I was gonna dip my burrito into the sauce??? First time here, although was recommended a couple of years ago by a friend. Asked two different servers what they recommended, what was their specialty or recommendations. Both just repeated "everything is good", like I was talking to a programmed robot. I'm not saying everything isn't good, but every place I've ever eaten that really cares about their food is known for SOMETHING - whether it's a style of preparation, regional cooking, whatever. I couldn't wait, so I ordered it to go. Not especially quick, but reasonable time. The guys need to learn to smile! They don't look happy. I'll edit this to talk about the "BIG" grilled chicken burrito I ordered after I eat it. Fingers crossed! OK, I've tried their "Big" burrito. It was a fairly standard sized burrito, nothing exceptional. Definitely a one person deal. I asked for a side of "casa"'sauce, since it seemed to be all over the menu. They must have charged me extra for it, because my one CHICKEN burrito was $17.50 cash price to go. No chips and salsa or anything else. I'm not saying I wouldn't come back, but there has to be a better reason. Maybe someone else knows what their specialty is? After reflection, I think 4 stars was probably too generous, but compared to some of the alternatives I'm going to let it stand as people need to know which is the least bad of the available options. Let's hope someone discovers something better. I'm not optimistic. read more

What stands out here is the unique ambiance of the place. This had to be a former home of a campesino with two very simple smallish rooms in which to dine. The meal is served on platters, not plates and the meals are abundant. As a follow through on the campesino theme the cups for tea, soft drinks, etc. are rough, painted tin cups. The entrance to the place is easy to miss and pass by so It's wise to have the address in hand and slow down as you see the addresses go by. It's identified but it would be easy to miss by looks and, worse it's a bit recessed from the street. This doesn't shout restaurant. The service was attentive but there are only a couple of servers there. Now of course the most important point of a restaurant is its food. My wife and I have had a few Chile Rellenos over the years and theirs was middling by comparison for us. It was fairly bland. However this place is worth a visit solely on the ambiance(the food isn't bad but doesn't excel) and the fair prices. A lot of people clearly like the food although I wonder if the ambiance is getting the best of some of them. read more

Food is worth the wait. Imaginative, delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Wish it was open on weekends.

My husband and I went out to Benson for the day and a friend recommended a few places to eat in Benson. We decided on Mi Casa. It was a bit set back from the street so at first we didn't see the restaurant. The parking was ample and convenient. I think the restaurant is a converted house. The colorful decor, artwork, and music are perfect for Mi Casas and make you feel at home. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The bathrooms and establishment were very clean.

Amazing!!! Wonderful home style, authentic Mexican food. The crown jewel of Benson, Az!

Man I have so many good things to say about Mi Casa. There is absolutely a reason why they have so many five-star ratings. Everything was so delicious!! My husband and I opted to sit outside, as the sun was going down and the heat wasn't bad. We didn't really see the inside, so I can't say anything to the ambience inside the actual restaurant. We sat in a gazebo, which was quite lovely. It was kind of hard to find when we were driving by, but you're looking for a bright, royal blue building. Once you know that, you can't miss it! My husband had the quesadillas con dos amigos, which consists of both chicken and steak quesadillas. It's actually under the appetizers section, but he chose that as his meal. It was very flavorful and a good size portion. I chose the shrimp tacos Baja style, at the recommendation of the young man who sat us. They were definitely the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. They're also served with rice and beans, which were quite delicious as well. There were tons of other dishes I wanted to try, now to try and convince my husband we need to drive 2.5hrs to get dinner again... read more

On a whim, we decided to try Mi Casa. I passed by without seeing it, as it was a bit back from the road. We were greeted and immediately seated.
