4 solid stars! Horchata is a 5 star chata!!! I ordered 2 al pastor tacos, a chilli rellano taco and a small Asada quesadilla. Chips and salsa came out and it was gone in about a minute. It was soooo good! You could tell it was fresh, homemade salsa! Al Pastor tacos were good, chili rellano was fresh out of the fryer and was a little too hot to handle. After my tastebuds cooled off I got into the Asada quesadilla and it was amazing!! Would love to come back and try it in a burrito. Staff was very welcoming and made me feel right at home. Can't wait to come back! read more

Food is consistently tasty and fresh. Small family run is not pretty but the kitchen looks clean. Prices are reasonable and we come at least weekly due to the value and consistent good food. read more

We have been ordering from Mi Casa literally every Saturday night for a few years now. Awesome service! The food is authentic and always perfect! What an amazing family owned restaurant! read more

We ordered last night from GrubHub. The fajitas were great, even after traveling w our driver for 5-10 minutes. It came with all the fixings and was a good value. I'd get takeout from Mi Casa again. read more

Great menu options. Good service and good basic food. Not a large place. Good stop when in the mood for ordinary Mexican food. read more

Very good carry out. The lengua tacos are especially nice. Prices are a bit high, but otherwise no complaints. Will be coming back.

I've just visited this restaurant for the first time and will never return. Just had the worst taco of my life. It was disgusting. A steak taco with finely chopped steak that was gnarly, had to take some out of my mouth. Extremely unfriendly, not helpful when trying to order, my being unfamiliar. No plates, no ice for drinks, short straws for the bottles. I felt we were bothering them. If you want to have a following, you'd better get your act together.y read more

Highly satisfying, homey, and authentic Mexican food in Wheaton. The service was a little slow, but there was really only one server working and my boyfriend and I were not in a rush so we enjoyed the complimentary chips (on the smaller side) and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. I ordered chorizo and steak tacos, which were reasonably priced. Ordered some extra avocado and was very pleasantly surprised when I saw the generous slices of fresh avocado on my tacos! I am a little bit of a salsa verde snob, and I have to say theirs isn't very spicy at all, but it is flavorful! (My boyfriend can't stand spicy and he was piling that stuff like crazy on his chips, so spicy-haters take note). Overall, a great homey spot for some yummy and authentic Mexican food. Extensive menu, very nice waiters (but sometimes a slightly long wait time...), and delicious tacos. read more

I came here for lunch with my sister. I had 2 chicken tacos YUM! My sister had a chicken burrito. We ordered a side of chips and guacamole. Every thing was delicious. The guacamole was perfect. The restaurant was clean, and the woman who took our order was very pleasant. I think she was the owner. Always great food! read more

First off, this place is great! I had the gyro for the first time today, which I had heard was the same as Smoke House after it closed. It...was...outstanding! José was working the counter and was so great to talk with. I have been here several times before and their pastor tacos are amazing, but today brought some nostalgia from Smoke House and a great conversation. This is a small business we should be supporting during this tough time! read more

I've never been disappointed with a meal from Mi Casa. Everyone's super friendly, service is quick, and (pre-COVID) they give a little chips and salsa to nibble while you wait for your takeout meal. Support local!! read more

Mi Casa is phenomenal. The pastor, asada, and chorizo tacos are some of the best I've had and rival most city taquerias. The guacamole is great and the wife loves the mole enchilada. Can't suggest this place more, trust me read more

It's OK. I ordered the AL pastor taco. The seasoning tasted bland and the meat was not crispy. I just didn't get that euphoric feeling biting into this taco compared to other taco joints. Pro: -More meat than other joints. -Cilantro and onion as primary toppings -Sauces have the right taste and heat -Authentic staff Con: -Everything cost 20% more than other joints -Some food choices cost significantly more with no justification. -Tacos not as satisfying -No chips and salsa while you wait -$10 minimum for credit card I don't think I'll come back unless the cons are addressed. read more

First of all what Mexican restaurant doesn't sell shrimp tacos, first red flag... then my total came to $17.81, gave her a$20 bill and she says"would you happen to have .81 cents?... second red flag...and finally brings out the "free" chips and salsa and the chips are in the bowl made for salsa, and the salsa is in a small "condiment" cup... third red flag... and the topper was that I had about 1/4 cup of "steak"... in a fajita sized tortilla for $6.99... the "burrito was mostly lettuce... suffice it to say I won't be back.. read more

Mi Casa Restaurant - 6.99 "steak" burrito, which is mostly lettuce - Mexican Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

My BFF recommended we meet here for dinner one evening last week, and if I trust anyone's opinion on Mexican food, it's def my BFF. She and I have been to more Mexican restaurants together than anyone else I know, and she's never led me astray. So as I drove up to an old Taco Bell building that had been re-painted and re-branded as Mi Casa, I was confused. Could Lauren have really missed a beat here? Was her streak of fantastic Mexican recommendations coming to an end? As we walked inside and I looked around, I grew more suspicious. The menu is scrawled on whiteboard posters above the counter. The tables and chairs are undoubtedly from the Taco Bell they purchased. A tween girl stood at the counter waiting to take our order. I was pensive, to say the least. I perused the menu and found all of the standard delicious sounding items. I hadn't eaten yet that day and being that it was dinner, I was eager to sample a myriad of items from the menu to test this place out. I got the queso fundido, a chile relleno taco, and the enchiladas dinner (don't do this. It was way too much food and I nearly slipped into a food coma and moved into the restaurant permanently, living amongst retro plastic tables and chairs). My friend ordered her selections, and we chose a table. The aforementioned tween (who was doing schoolwork between orders and made me feel really guilty about being there to eat) brought us water and chips and salsa while we waited for our food. Chips were bland, salsa was decent. Then my queso fundido arrived and my homegirl's guacamole and chips did, too. The fundido was deeeeeeelightful but honestly melting chihuahua cheese and serving it to a fat chick is not exactly brain surgery. I was still holding out to see how the rest of the menu stacked up. I did not have to wait long. My chile relleno taco arrived and looked/smelled heavenly. The taco holds an ENTIRE chile relleno - a poblano peppers stuffed with enticing melty cheese and dipped in a breading, then subsequently deep fried. This chile relleno would have been amazing all alone, but topped with onion and and cilantro and wrapped into a steamy delicious corn tortilla?! Holy crap. HEAVEN. I'm craving that damn taco again just writing about it. I shoulda ordered 3 of these and called it a day. The enchilada dinner was equally delicious - I got mine with green sauce (I can't do spice, I'm weak), and tried each filling, all distinctive and tasty. I would happily enjoy a plate of these again except that I don't want to eat anything but chile relleno tacos for the rest of my life. OH and the prices are insanely affordable. Heaventacos, on the cheap?! Is this freakin paradise?! So once again, my BFF didn't steer me wrong when it came to Mexican food. Seriously, look past the exterior of this place, the furnishings, etc. Look straight at that chile relleno taco. Gaze at it. Devour it. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Mi Casa Restaurant - Chile relleno taco WHERE HAD YOU BEEN MY ENTIRE LIFE. - Mexican Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

This place is sooo good and consistent - We have never been disappointed. Always fresh, order is always right, it's a lot of food, it's affordable. Checks all the boxes!! read more

Hands down my go-to place for legit taco's in Wheaton. I used to get my taco fix at the Maxwell Street Market as I thought they had some of the most authentic tacos and I love lengua (tongue) tacos. When done properly, lengua is so tender and can be so tasty, and Mi Casa has been spot on every time that I have ordered the lengua. But they also have the best steak tacos as well. I usually get at least one of each and I always, always, get the guacamole too. It has the right amount of acid and cilantro and is so very delicious! read more

This place is like the American dream. A family opens a restaurant in what used to be a Taco Bell. Walk in any given evening and their high school kids are alternating between homework and helping customers. The food is AMAZING. Real Mexican food, not the tourist crap. The salsa is to die for. And the service is amazing. Go check this place out and support local small business! read more

This wonderful little family-owned restaurant serves some of the best Mexican food in the area. The food is consistently delicious, portion sizes are generous, and the prices are relatively low (most items are $7). The owners are also very friendly. Although seating is highly limited due to the restaurant's small size, there are tables outside that can be used in warmer weather. Among my personal menu favorites are the milanesa torta, the steak burrito, the steak quesadillas, and the pork ribs with green salsa. The house salsa is great, with just the right amount of heat, and the horchata is the best I've ever had. The only (small) criticisms I have of Mi Casa are that 1) the restroom can only be accessed from outside and has a door that is difficult to open, and 2) the service can be a bit slow if the restaurant is crowded. All told, however, I consider this an excellent restaurant and highly recommend it. read more

Loved it! Great food for a great value! Hubby and I stopped here on a Saturday to check it out after my yelp buddy, Angus, gave it a great review. I had the steak taco and the pastor taco as well as some pico de gallo with chips. Hubby had the ribeye taco as well as the steak and pastor. We weren't in the mood to share. The pico de gallo was great! I am a pico junkie. I put it in eggs and have it with chicken. It goes with everything and the chips are not exactly Weight Watcher friendly. The chips are the restaurant type which are very tasty, but I have to watch it. The tacos were fresh and very tasty. The pastor one was ok, I think El Zarape does a better job with them. They use corn tortillas and if you want extras like lettuce and cheese it cost extra. I liked the food and the service, but it was cold in there. Keep that in mind if you visit during a cold spell. read more

A modest family owned little restaurant that is big on flavor and hospitality. We went to cover news in the area and stopped in to get some interviews of the locals and fell in love with the aromas of home style Mexican food like mama used to cook. Mi Casa is a genuine jewel. Super delicious food and staff keeps back kitchen clean. I saw them cleaning and wiping constantly. Go have the steak burrito and the guacamole. Try the tasty salsa roja, chile de arbol. Sabroso! read more

Mi Casa Restaurant - The whole family came out to say hello. #MiCasa - Mexican Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

A great family owned business with delicious food. I enjoy this location and the one in Bloomingdale.

This spot just opened up in Wheaton, and God knows we need more authentic Mexican food around here. My wife and I are always on the look out, and decided we'd try this place. Main takeaways: - The service is excellent and friendly - The food is pretty good-- especially the carne asada. The salsa could use a little more kick, but all ingredients were pretty savory and authentic My one complaint about Mexican restaurants in the Midwest (especially the suburbs) is that they always seem to have to offer the option of lettuce/tomatos/cheese in place of cilantro and onions. Come one, people! I know that your American palates like that stuff, but it is bland and not real Mexican. Go for the real experience. Overall, this is a good option-- a great alternative to Chipotle and decent prices. Its hard to keep small businesses going in this area, so definitely come out and support this new one! read more

I've been on a taco binge for the past few days.. Recently tried totopos in Naperville and Los camales in aurora. This is the first one I bothered to write a review for. Overall I'm ranking 4 stars I'll just give a pro con Pro: food is freshly made Family operated Most flavorful Asada out of all of the places I recently tried Always horchata! Con's: I'd avoid the chicken tacos not a fan of the flavor Probably wouldn't get the chips again Overall we will be back. I'm trying to decide if I want to hurt myself and order one more steak taco! read more

I love this place and i have nothing bad to say. With that in mind, i'll elaborate about the good things! There are three things all food places should have: a clean environment, friendly service, and delicious food. Mi Casa nails all three. Get the tacos el pastor. They're well made (e.g. the corn tortillas stay in tact while you're eating them and the portions are decent) and they have sensational flavor. The food isn't overly greasy and I actually feel like I'm eating something healthy, home-made and unprocessed. Also, this is clearly family owned and operated. I love that. These people genuinely care about the food they're making and serving and they make it clear that they appreciate your business. It's a shame more places can't be this candid, instead of corporate. I noticed some people complained about a lack of seating, bathrooms, and alcohol. Um.... it's a take out place, what do you expect? All take-out places have a small amount of seating for those that are waiting, or want to grab a fast lunch, this is typical. Also, the fact that it's an old Taco Bell has NO bearing on the quality and taste of the food. If you get bogged down in superficial details, I feel sorry that you're missing out on excellent, authentic cuisine. Little Caesars doesn't have beer, does that bother you, too? I don't know about everyone else, but if I plan to have drinks, it's not on the run in a little take-out place. Liquor licenses are expensive, and carry liability. Just let these people make delicious food for you and quit knit-picking! It's very good. Try it out! read more

Ran out of grilled chicken, no bathroom, chips not included, screwed up order. Brought a large when we ordered a small, forgot cilantro. Had to do it all over. Empty. Shocked this place got 4 stars. Said no green peppers, asked for jalapeño. They brought green peppers. No other customers here so it can't be cuz they are overwhelmed. Sad. Just sad. The one star is for the daughter who was verbally abused by her mother read more

Mi Casa Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

GREAT food. Just had the Lomo (Ribeye) Burrito with chips and salsa. Burrito was fantastic, salsa was some of the best I've ever had. Service is a tad slow, especially if there's a rush. Think of this place better as a sit-down joint than a quick to-go spot. Family run, extremely friendly. Good work, amigos. read more

I went to Mi Casa on Sunday, 12/06 with my mother for a quick lunch before Christmas shopping. My mother has a very sensitive stomach so a lot of foods make her feel sick. Generally, one does not consider Mexican food to be delicate, but she has found that she can enjoy the food at Mi Casa because it is so fresh and not at all greasy. This was our second time trying Mi Casa, I remember our first experience was very good as well. When we arrived we placed our order to the family up front at the counter (It appears that this place is literally run by one family, which I think is cute) and sat down. A young man brought us our beverages and some chips and salsa. The salsa is EXTREMELY fresh. You can taste all of the ingredients, it's absolutely fantastic. It tasted like it was just made a minute before we walked in! As far as our meals go, I ordered a steak burrito with cheese, steak, lettuce, tomato and avocado and my mom got a cheese quesadilla (it's very large.) Both my burrito and the quesadilla were fantastic. Like I said before, there was not a speck of grease to be seen. We weren't able to finish our food so one of the girls provided us with a box and we definitely scooped the rest of that salsa in there. Overall I would highly recommend Mi Casa due to its fresh, delicious food and welcoming family atmosphere. It is also very reasonably priced! It costs about as much as a usual Mexican taco stand, but I feel like the quality is significantly higher here. I will certainly be back! read more

Very fresh tasting salsa! Steak tacos were delicious! Chips were fresh and crunchy! I'm a gringo but my Husband is Mexican and he loved the food at this place. He said it reminded him of his Grandma's salsa and steak tacos. We highly recommend! read more

Mi Casa Restaurant - We ate it all! - Mexican Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

Well we decided to try this place again Prices were hi for what u get steak burrito had 4-5 teeny 1/8 inch bits of meat Filled with lettuce and beans it also said cheese I couldn't find any on there. The taste in general was decent husband found only 3 pieces of chicken on his service was fast taste of tortilla was good! All in all Disappointing lunch! They didn't take chg cards!!!! for orders less than $10. (Avg meal cost 6-7) most ppl we saw come in had to have their friend pay for their meal cause all they had was a chg card. One lady walked in studied the menu and walked out. Hmmmmm Hey mi casa no one carries cash!!! My husband hesitated giving a sm joint like that our AMEX We used cash! We went 1/2 hr out of our way to go there cause of good food reviews here probably won't go back there not worth it! read more

Hubby and I ate here tonight. The food was beyond fantastic. Between the two of us, we had the green sauce enchiladas (was told by the cashier not to try the red as it was super hot and my hubby likes hot but still), the quesadilla, the beef taco, the tamale and the refried beans. We tried everything except the tamale and it was all really good. The tacos were fantastic. The cheese quesadilla was really good with a nice outer crunch. My hubby loved the enchiladas. All of the ingredients tasted fresh. We just had cokes so I can't comment on their drinks. The free chips and salsa are some of the best I've had and not too hot. I'm a wimp when it comes to not wanting things spicy and I was able to eat quite a bit of the salsa. They give you a very small dish of salsa and a small bowl of freshly made chips. I did not share much... :-) The atmosphere inside was very basic and it was kind of cold (cold outside, cold inside) but clean and nice enough for an inexpensive date. It is inside and old Taco Bell. There was a gentleman who was constantly wiping up the tables. However, service was very slow, the only real negative. It just gave me more time to eat more chips!! The menu is listed up on white boards above the registers, but no prices. There are menus by the cashier which has prices and a more detailed description of the food. You order at the register and then have a seat. A couple of teenagers delivered our food to us. (there is a tip jar by the counter) They do take credit cards, but a minimum of $10. This restaurant has made it to the top of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. There was another new Mexican restaurant which opened in the last year or so in the Lombard area and was much fancier inside. I would rather go to Mi Casa over that restaurant any day. read more

The atmosphere is lovely and nostalgic. Perfect to bring family or a date night. We only came in for drinks and was greeted by wonderful bartenders who definitely know how to make a margarita!! Can't wait to come back with the family! read more

Come for the tacos stay for the flan. I have read the bad reviews here... part of me wanted to write one just so no one would know about this place and it could be mine and only mine. But, that isn't how the capitalist model works. So 5 stars. Clearly people who didn't like it don't know what authentic mexican food tastes like.... This is street food people not a hoity toity dining experience. This is what tacos are supposed to be like. Before I rhapsodize about the flan, I will say that the tamales while tasty were a bit dry... bad batch maybe? I will give it another try. Now, the flan.... Seriously the BEST FLAN EVER. I love all flan, even bad flan, this flan is its own level of goodness. There is good, better, best, Mi Casa Flan. It was smooth and creamy perfection. I might have to stop by just for flan. You should too, after I go, because I don't want them to run out. Staff is super nice and service was great. Salsa was tasty. Would have liked a basket of chips on the table without paying for it, but what ever... I don't really need to eat them anyway. So, in summary, you should eat here if you like authentic mexican food and order the flan, you can thank me later. read more

I travel a lot for work and use yelp like a bible. I came because the reviews were good. If this was just a food review and not the business as a whole, it would only get three stars. As the business goes however, the nice family run restaurant was great. The kids working the counter and the nice man cooking up homemade Mexican food. I had a carnitas burrito, it was decent, could have used way more spice. I'm from the west/ southwest and I'm used to my Mexican with a kick! But, what did I expect from the land of hotdogs and pizza... Chips and salsa were giving during the dine in. Salsa was delish! read more

Delicious food!! Glad I took a chance on this place! The chilaquiles and huevos rancheros are fantastic! Great place to drop in for lunch.

Decent food and pretty good service. The steak is really soft and moist though. The chips are a bit stale and the cheese isn't anything fancy but it's don't bad! The salsas are great though. No refills for fountain drinks, so keep that in mind if you're thirsty. Overall, not bad! read more

Oh yum!!! We love lunch here. Decided to try it one day when my co workers and I were looking for something new. What a find! I have had tacos, quesadillas, guacamole, and a burrito. Loved everything. Homemade chips. Great guacamole. How can you go wrong? The lunch crowd had gotten bigger since we started going there but that's a good thing. I've been waiting to bring my husband until I had the burrito but, after today, I'm ready to introduce them. Since it is not open real late, it seems to be more of a lunch place, which is fine by me! read more
