This place isn't really mexicand it says that it is, but it's not. The waitress is really nice. The food wasn't that great chips were stale Their sauce saw was just haljapeno Salt in garlic The restaurant looked really clean, though. They really keep up on that part. I would not really recommend But overall I have to say is it was really nice and clean in there, and customer service was excellent. read more

Had lunch there yesterday and since the. My husband, baby and myself have had the worst case of food poisoning.. baby ate off my plate and my best guess is it was the pork. We have literally been in the bathroom Sick all night/day. The service was wonderful though, that's why I gave the 3 stars. read more

Mi Casita - Crispy Taco and beef enchiladas with beans - Mexican Near Me - Carlsbad, New Mexico

No, just no.. salsa tasted like they took old ceviche and sifted out the shrimp. Not the Mexican food Im used to. Seems like they tried mixing NM cuisine with old Mexico.. just doesn't work. read more

The staff is friendly, the food came out fast and it tasted authentic. My favorite was their salsa.

Had early lunch and green Chile chicken enchiladas were on the money. Great place to stop for breakfast or lunch.

Some of the best food in carlsbad and the staff is very friendly and helpful!!!gotta try it!!!

Wow! What a great find! The hand battered green chili rellanos were delicious and the asado was super spicy, just the way we like it. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Prices very reasonable. read more

Friendly staff but unfortunately food was disgusting. Took 2 bites and walked out. Skip!

Great food! But, frankly My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The waitress seemed offended when I told her that her green chili had given me brain damage; Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really pisses me off that the other patrons asked me to stop screaming. I sure dread tomorrow! read more

First timer. Had lunch special, brisket burrito smothered with chili verde. Good brisket flavor, courtesy of Sysco & decent verde. Sides were unimpressive, rice was oatmeal consistency. Fast & pleasant service. Maybe breakfast is next. read more

The food tasted like straight salt. They are friendly but the food wasn't good. It's a clean place.

The enchiladas were edible but the rice - no. Beans no flavor. Chips hard. And they get premade taco shells in a box. Even though she said the plate was hot the food was barely warm. It's been years since I came here now I remember why. Some things never change. This will be my last visit. read more

This place was such a disappointment. I wish I had the same experience as many of the positive reviews that I read before choosing this place. Let's start with the positives.... The salsa was really good. And, the iced tea was freshly brewed. Now, onto the disappointments...First up, the piece of tres leches cake that we were served was really small. For $5.00, it was an insult. And, it was topped with chocolate syrup and whipped cream out of a can. There were no "three milks" to be found. Again, two forkfuls, and it was gone! Now, onto the tortilla chips. We were served a bowl of "gravel". Nearly all of the chips were broken into tiny pieces. Any caring restaurant would have thrown out the chip fragments and served something that could be used to scoop salsa. And, finally onto the main dishes. We ordered two of the Dunagan combo platters. Sadly, it was whipped together very fast and tasted like it. It was obvious that the runny sauces were from a can. They had little to no flavor. And, none of the food was cooked together. Rather, it was assembled out of previously prepared meats, sauces, etc. The beef in the taco and enchiladas was extremely salty. The red chili has some good heat. But, there were a lot of chunks of fat to wade through. This place honestly has a lot of potential. But, it seems to have gone the way of assembly line preparation and ready made ingredients. It should take more than five minutes to cook enchiladas, tacos, and chili rellenos! read more

Local Mexican food spot. Everything I've had here has been good. Not, this is the best Mexican food, but not awful. Pre covid-at lunch really loud. Bad acoustics. Everything is pretty spicy, but they will help tame it down. Nice folks. Usually very fast. And if you are dry rice vs wet rice (sopa). This is wet rice. I like it dry, but it is tolerable. We go here once a month-at least. read more

First time in Carlsbad and we were looking for Mexican. Decided to try Mi Casita and were really happy we did. Just wish they had Margaritas. read more

Food was good. Portions are generous. Only complaint I have was that some items on our plates were cold.

This place is amazing! I loved the rice and beans and the beef tacos and salsa. I even ordered two 16oz of salsa to go. read more

By far the best and my favorite Mexican food restaurant around! I often frequented Mi Casitas when I lived in Carlsbad and the food is always delicious. Favorites being the Tina's Special and the taco plate, not to mention the Queso! If you want traditional and AUTHENTIC New Mexican food don't go anywhere else in town or in Eddy County for that matter because nothing will compare. Their deserts are equally as good. Mi Casitas has speedy service, rarely do you have to wait and if you do it won't be for long. The same with your food. Great place to grab a quick lunch! Moral of the story: Eat here, take some to go and then ship it to me! read more

Probably the worst meal I've had while in New Mexico. The staff was extremely rude and not willing to work with dietary restrictions. Everything was greasy and flavorless. Stay away! read more

This is a cute little place in Carlsbad, of course. Given all the options, we were in the mood for New Mexican food. This place delivered. Good, simple food. No muss, no fuss, just good, simple food. Flavor is amazing and the options are varied enough for anyone to find something they want. The salsa was good, but extremely hot, which dimmed out the flavor I think. They do have wine-based margaritas. They were on special, $5, on the Tuesday night we were there. Service was friendly, but definitely not fussy. We all rather enjoyed ourselves and were pleasantly surprised! Will definitely return when in town on business again. read more

Awesome place for reasonably priced Mexican food. Friendly, fast service.

This place was very good. Staff was awesome and the food was delicious. Must go for Mexican food

Not impressed. Didn't expect to have to pay $4.50 for a burrito to go, hoped it would be an EPIC burrito! Ordered sausage, egg, and cheese. What I got was a chewy factory made tortilla, filled with greasy scrambled egg, a couple small nuggets of undercooked sausage, and nearly no cheese. Bland, flavorless, and definitely not something I will order again. It's located in what looks like a little house turned restaurant, but definitely lacks the "home style" taste and quality. Bummer. read more

Mi Casita - Didn't expect to have to pay $4.50 for a burrito... Ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese. Not impressed. - Mexican Near Me - Carlsbad, New Mexico

Good food for not much money. Great service too. Stumbled on this place while driving around looking for restaurants. This place had a big crowd. Glad we came in. Smothered burrito was good (could have used more green sauce). Tamale plate fresh and savory. My daughter liked the quesadillas (and actually ate them). Worth checking out- seems like the locals do. read more

Very nice place. Food was good. Tres leches Carmel cake was fantastic. All the wait staff are nice and cordial. Very friendly. All the other reviews are spot on. Real salsa. Only thing I didn't like was the red chile cheese enchiladas. That wasn't their fault though. Turns out I just don't like the red chili sauce ( second place I've tried it). Everything else was tasty though. Definitely one of the better places in Carlsbad. read more

Well. Not very good, cheap ground beef and under cooked. burrito was a let down- sides weren't much better

First issue is the menu attached to this restaurant is wrong (on goggle maps), it's for another restaurant the same name and address just different city, but website shows this city.. rice had that canned food taste. Really small menu selection. read more

Great service. Prices were good. We shared the supreme nachos, they were good. Cold beer. Great place to eat. The salsa was hot, although a little runnier than I like read more

Great service. Food came out very, very fast and was very good - nothing revolutionary, just good simple Mexican. House salsa was awesome, very hot. They have a decent selection of Mexican and domestic beers, but no Margs as far as I can tell. Dessert looked very tempting but waz 2 full 2 try. Price was very good too. I would go here again over overpriced more crowded chain restaurants. read more

Mi Casita means "my little house". This totally describes the experience. Mom cooks the food and daughter waits tables. Great home made food. The empanadas are filled with apples and topped with carmel - just excellent!!! read more

Well where do I start the salsa tho! The atmosphere is a definitely mom and pop. We where immediately greeted, and promptly attended, we ordered outer food and before we knew it our food was out! Very fast service, love it! The amount of food we got for the price was just amazing, and the taste was even better! Everything had a very authentic taste to it, everything was fresh, the eggs, ham. The presentation was also nice, a little different but I appreciate change. If you are looking for a good place to eat this is the spot, you will not be disappointed. read more

Mi Casita - Breakfast for two under 15$ - Mexican Near Me - Carlsbad, New Mexico

Great place to eat! I was born and raised in Carlsbad and this is my go to Mexican food restaurant. The chips and salsa are the best part

Little place off the main road. Fast and prompt service. Food is very well priced and the taste is definitely worth the visit I'm in Carlsbad every couple months and I usually have lunch there. read more

I was disappointed. This was highly recommended by the locals. This has a diner atmosphere which we were not expecting. The staff was short handed. The salsa was good, the chips were seasoned. When ordering, we were asked if we wanted red or green. Regretfully, we both got the red. (Spicy) I ordered the Duragan which has asada, taco, enchiladas, and a fried pepper. Each on their own were very good, but the red sauce was over powering because it was applied to all of them. The taco and chips were the only relief. Beans and/or rice would have helped. I am used to tortillas being served, especially with asada, they were not. Enchiladas come with an egg, get it. I have a new appreciation for the Mexican restaurants in my area. read more

Chile relleno was crusty and old, but salsa and corn tortillas and fresh green chile good. Staff friendly, and gave us a different dish when we ordered the wrong thing. read more

The best salsa in town. Lots of it and no added cost to your ticket. They keep the chips coming, too. The best asado in town. Asado Burrito or Asado plate, it doesn't matter. If Asado is your thing, you've definitely got to try it. Can't say much else about the menu because asado is all I eat at Mi Casita. The restaurant is small, crowded and you may have to wait. Usually no more than ten minutes. Service is instant once you are seated. Prices on the high side of $.. Does not warrant $$, imho. read more

Great service and the food was excellent. Busy during the peak times but they clean the tables quickly for the next seating. Just try to save room for their cheesecake deserts if you can which is very hard to do because the portions of food are sufficient. It is easy to see why this is a favorite for the locals. Great food for a reasonable price. read more

This food is amazing. Friendly service, which I always appreciate. The server was accommodating to our family's dietary restrictions. The salsa is perfection. I highly recommend this place. read more
