    two people sitting at a table in a restaurant

    The best most fresh food ever!!! I had an enchilada, rice and beans, my father had a chimichanga, my mother had a cheese quesadilla. We all loved everything. I really enjoyed the atmosphere too.

    All of their vegetarian options have the exact same vegetables and they just slap it together differently. here are your vegetarian choices... tomatoes, mushrooms, bell pepper.. and with those three you can: --- have a veggie fajita --- have a "quesadilla" (see below) --- have a burrito --- have an enchilada or they have stuff like cheese burrito (or was it a cheese enchilada? idk really), or you can order the nachos supreme without the beef. One of the cheese stuffed peppers is okay (poblano, if i remember right they put meat in their relleno? or vice versa idk). The nacho supreme minus meat: there is sooo much wet stuff that they add to them; the once crispy, slightly salty, tasty chips are ruined by piles of cheese sauce mixed with shredded iceburg and refried beans (not whole beans, unfortunately, not real cheese, unfortunately). Their chips and salsa is very good! So, the other night when I went, I got a vegetable quesadilla. I was in shock before I even took a bite. I was pretty quickly annoyed. See in the picture, they didn't even cut it. what am I supposed to do with a massive sized quesadilla that hasn't even been cut? and also of which the tortilla wasn't cooked long enough to be crispy or hold its shape; it flopped over like an old man in need of viagra. I tried cutting it with my butter knife, but it was a mess. The taste? They use a cheese sauce, not real cheese. I found it to be salty. It was edible and good enough to eat. I give this a 2.5 but I rounded down, because its my review and I can. The staff at Mi Casita are so super super friendly and kind and I really like them. I feel bad for not liking the restaurant, but I know they can do better. They do make an okay margarita.

    Great Mexican!

    Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. It feels very homey/small town-like. They have good quesadillas and burritos.

    Well, Ames has another sit down Mexican restaurant. I think this one is actually owned and run by…read moreMexicans. I hope they succeed where so many others continue to fail. This is a Tex-Mex restaurant. Native Texan here, check my oldest YELP reviews, people. Tex-Mex cuisine is different as cheese plays a more featured role than it does in Mexican cuisine, but unlike Americanized Mexican cuisine, it comes from Tejanos who are A) Hispanic and B) actually season their food. The customer service here is glorious! You definitely feel appreciated. The restaurant is spacious and clean, and they are keeping the number of dine in customers fairly low and spaced out. I've dined in once but lately have stuck to carry out. I think they were initially lax with masks, but were wearing them when I went in today. The food was delicious, and reminded me of Tex Mex fare back in Houston. The portions were large and the price was nice. The chips and salsa were fantastic! It tasted great even after the 30 minute drive home. I think I've found my regular Tex-Mex spot. What I liked most were the seasonings and sauciness - well balanced and no one aspect was overpowering. It also looked so pretty! Get at the tamales!!!

    WOW! It's both good and sad that I don't live in Ames, because if I did, I'd eat here ALL the time!…read moreOne of the Mexican restaurants we've ever been to! Salsa was fresh and chips were good and crispy. I got the steak tacos on corn tortillas and beans. All so great!

I love the bread options their store offers also. The quesabirrias tacos are a favorite go to! They also provide lime wedges, radish slices, roasted peppers, and roasted onion with the tacos.

Ambiance: A quaint, quiet store/restaurant full of delicious options and amazing smells. It's kept clean and tidy with medium noise pollution: there's typically a TV playing in the dining area or music playing throughout the space. The seating is cozy; more for 2-4 people at a table/booth, as opposed to large parties.
