Showing MiCasa Too Some Love! I saw the news about MiCasa Too and how the construction has been affecting their business, and it really made me think about how long it had been since I'd been there. I used to go to MiCasa Too all the time, but now that I live in South Reno, getting there feels like a little road trip. Last night, we were trying to figure out where to have dinner when we remembered that we wanted to show MiCasa Too some love. So, off we went--and I'm SO glad we did! Heading west, we took the Keystone exit to Seventh Street and then Stoker. Surprisingly, we managed to avoid most of the construction. Score one for us! It was Saturday night, and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. We were greeted right away and seated promptly. Then came the warm tortilla chips and TWO different salsas. And let me just say... those chips and salsa disappeared pretty quickly. For drinks, we ordered a raspberry margarita, iced tea, and water. I had completely forgotten how much I LOVE their raspberry margaritas. One sip and I was like, "Oh yeah... I remember you." Our orders were taken quickly, and the food came out without a long wait. I ordered the Cheech and Chong, which is a chimichanga. I ordered it with shredded beef. A chimichanga is pretty much always one of my go-to choices at a Mexican restaurant, so I had high expectations. Thankfully, MiCasa did not disappoint! It was smothered in cheese, and the beef inside was tender, flavorful, and delicious. Basically, everything I want in a chimichanga. My daughter ordered the cheese enchilada and tamale combo with rice and beans. She was very happy with her meal. Another person in our group ordered the chicken and rice, which is his standard go-to whenever we eat Mexican food. He thought it was good, although he did mention that it could have been a little warmer. But apparently it wasn't a deal breaker because he still ate the entire thing. That tells you something! The kids shared a cheese quesadilla from the kids' menu, which came with rice and beans. They had absolutely no trouble taking care of that either. Apparently, nobody at our table came to play when it came to dinner. Overall, it was a great meal, and I'm really glad we made the trip. It was affordable and good! Sometimes local businesses just need a little extra love when circumstances make things difficult. MiCasa Too has been part of the Reno dining scene for a long time, and it really is a Reno institution. So if you've been saying, "We should go to MiCasa Too sometime," this is your sign. Go eat. Order the margarita. Get the chips and salsa. Show them some love. And MiCasa--here's hoping you're around for a very, very long time! read more

While we got waters with chips and salsa right away, and our margaritas, it took our server 25 minutes to appear at our table. (The man who took our drink order and brought them to us appeared to be a busser.) The restaurant was not busy so it was unclear what caused the servers delay. I did like my food but it should have come out much hotter and not lukewarm. After our server dropped off our plates she never came back to check on us. I think had the service been better and had my food come out hot, it would have easily been a 5 star review. If we go back I'll probably let them know up front that I'd like attentive service and hot food! read more

MiCasa Too - 2 shredded beef tacos - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

MiCasa Too has been a long time favorite in the area. They have major construction going on that has impacted their business. We opted to take the family on a Saturday night. It remains the same as it did 20 plus years ago and that's a good thing. It took a few minutes to be greeted and seated. The restaurant was clean. We ordered a raspberry margarita, iced tea, and waters. Drinks were served promptly. After ordering the food took about 15 minutes to arrive and everything was as ordered. The chimichanga is uniquely served precut and smothered with cheese. The tamale and enchilada were both large and covered in cheese. The kids quesadilla was served with rice and beans. The arroz con pollo had good flavor but was not served hot enough. Overall it was a good dinner and a reminder to visit more often. read more

Great Saturday evening spot! Heads up that there's construction happening around the area, but there's a large parking lot so access wasn't an issue. The restaurant itself is super cute, clean, and spacious with plenty of booth seating. Staff greeted us right away and kept the chips and salsa coming and the spicy salsa is a must-try. Food-wise, the fajitas were good and the rice and beans tasted authentic. Enchiladas were also solid with generous portions. They've got a decent beer list too. Prices were fair, and honestly it's worth the trip even though it's a bit out of the way for us. Will be back! read more

I forgot to take off photo of the plate but man that food was delicious. I had a carne asada taco plate. I will definitely going back to sit down and have a meal because this was a to go order today. read more

MiCasa Too - This is the a piece of the menu from Mi Casa Too I made a to go order. - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Timely service and polite workers! We did not have to wait long for anything and the food was warm and good. Would have been nice to have had some music playing in the speakers (perhaps there was but it was very low). We could hear the conversation in the booth next to us quite clearly which was a little awkward and I'm sure they could hear us too. The only other thing is that their side of fries is $4 and this is what was brought as our potion. A little small for that price in my opinion, other than that it was delicious. read more

Just visited Mi Casa Too after probably 2 years and I was greatly impressed. The food platters are huge. I ordered the "smaller meal for not so hungry amigos" and my gosh, it was a huge pork tamale with delicious beans and rice, and chips and salsa. We also tried the carnitas tacos also served with beans and rice, a chicken enchilada, carne asada, cheese quesadilla. every plate is heaper with food, hot and tasty and cheesy and not too spicy. Not having been there in a while I am going to put this on my list because it was amazing tonight. Great service, great prices, great food. read more

Refried beans good, chips and two salsa's served also. Peaceful atmosphere with tall private booths. A good choice if in the northwest on 4th street. Server friendly, and pleasant. read more

I haven't been in awhile.. used to be a very favorite place of friends and family! Don't go out as much anymore these days! Anyway I heard they were struggling because of all the road construction.. it is a quagmire on 4th street for sure! Went with my 93 year young ex mother in law.. we are good friends still! We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and decided to come here. She felt a cold coming on and ordered the chicken soup along with a house salad. Honestly she doesn't like Mexican food but she just loved the soup.. big chunks of perfectly cooked veggies and huge chunks of chicken! The salad was very fresh with iceberg lettuce , red cabbage, and tomatoes.. she was very pleased and is kind of picky! And ate most of it ! I in turn love Mexican food and ordered the taco salad . Very fresh lettuce with yummy shredded beef! It was delicious and I was so full I couldn't finish it. We will definitely be coming back and I will tell everyone I know to eat here! Thank you and I wish you lots of good fortune with a lot of customers! This restaurant is a Reno institution.. let's help keep them open Renoites!! Sorry we were hungry and I didn't get any photos.. next time! read more

Just tried this place out for the first time for a coworkers retirement party/dinner. I must say they were very well prepared for how large our group was. Service was great and on top of getting all our food ordered, refilling drinks, and they started the table off with chips and salsa. I had the steak fajitas and I was impressed when the plate came out the portion size was larger than I was expecting but they gave you a decent side of guacamole and sour cream to add to your tacos. The tortillas I got were falling apart and broke in half so I had to just make smaller tacos. It can definitely get messy when eating lol. Other than that the flavors were great I actually liked the rice and beans, I normally skip them at Mexican restaurants around town because I haven't been too impressed by the flavor or texture or how it was actually made. But I am happy I didnt pass it up this time it was pretty good. The mango margaritas are delicious here You can't go to a Mexican restaurant and not have a margarita. Overall I was very pleased with the service and food they offer here. For how large our party was the food came out in a very timely manner. It's unfortunate this place is in a very off beaten path and not in a more frequented area of town. I say check it out next time you're in the area. read more

I dined at MiCasa Too this evening and their staff were very accommodating. Our group was a reservation for over 20 people and they had enough space to seat us all. After ordering, the food was served within a reasonable time for such a large group (about 15-20 min). I ordered a No. 3 combo which included a chile relleno and enchilada with rice and beans. I was fully satisfied with the service and food. read more

I wish I wasn't feeling the need to write this, but our friends and us just had some of the worst service with extremely overpriced, mediocre food. We initially came to support a business that was on the news claiming they were facing financially hardships due to road construction outside their business, and was facing possible closure. We were initially shocked by the prices, a single carne asada taco is $11.95! A carne asada taco plate, with only one taco, is $17.95! We were hopeful the tacos were larger than we were anticipating, and really wanted to support this business. We had to wait 35 minutes, after asking 3 times, for water. We asked for a pitcher for refills and never got it. We had to wait 55 minutes for our food, and it was mediocre at best, not bigger as we were hoping, and extremely overpriced. Everyone around us was waiting just as long for water and food, and we saw one table pay for their drinks and leave out of frustration for having to wait so long for service. If we hadn't have already ordered, we would have left too. The restaurant is also old, outdated, and dingy. After eating here myself, I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone spend their hard earned money here. And it seems more likely their overpriced menu and poor service is the real reason why their business is suffering. read more

This is a go to places for great Mexican food! Clean, affordable, and we have not tried one thing that we didn't really like! The restaurant is comfortable, roomy and kid friendly. Convenient Location on West 4th between downtown and Northwest Reno. Their service has always been consistently quick & friendly. Give this locally owned business a try. You can't go wrong with MiCasa Too !! read more

TOO SALTY! You can hardly taste the food for the salt. Almost gaggy. I have experience in this field and it's way off. Ambiance is nice, service is good. Prices seem normal. Good location for me too. read more

Service is non existent!!! We are the only ones in the place and service has been terrible. Food is horrible! I can put up with poor service if the food is good. But not both. Portions for prices are ridiculous. I won't bore you with the details. Just trust me and save your money. Go someplace else. We should have gone to San Marcos Grill. I do not know how these guys stay open? Anytime I've been here the place is nearly empty. Tonight it was literally empty. No one at the bar. And one couple. We were a table of 5. No one else. Will I report this to the manger? Yes. Will it matter? Probably not. We will not come back. And a tip? Yeah. Right. read more

First time there. Ordered the carne asada. Worst carne asada I've ever had. Had zero flavor, almost every bite was hard to chew because of the gristle, and parts of it my fork couldn't go through. Would have given one star but they did remove my meal from the bill. read more

Ordered take out and was happy with the quantity and quality of the food. They have been in business over 30 years so that speaks for itself. Restaurant is clean and staff is friendly. read more

Best Mexican Restaurant in Reno! I've been enjoying their amazing food and friendly service since 1980! Miguel's is a close 2nd place, but 9 times out of 10 my family chooses Micasa Too! read more

Our waiter, Oscar, was super friendly and helpful with the menu. We love it when a waiter provides authentic recommendations of what to order off the menu. The food was everything we hoped for...and the margaritas, made by Oscar, were some of the best we ever had! I highly recommend coming here for some delicious food and great service!! read more

Our go-to Mexican restaurant, Micasa Too on W 4th street...yummm This is a pork tamale, the small plate! (Not so small) My favorite chips and salsa in town Their beer is cold, icy cold, and prices are great. It's hard to find these days. The people working there are wonderful! Friendly, smiling, with fast service. Always checking up on you in case you need something or your beer is empty. It's got that authentic look with comfy booths and decor. Love it read more

MiCasa Too - Pork tamale plate - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I adore this place. The food is good Mexican cantina food. Standard stuff done pretty well. The drinks are standard margaritas, in lots of flavors. I like their enchilada sauce. Portions are large. Ambiance and service: 10/10. The interior is huge with endless booths. The lighting is soft and warm and cozy. It always feels peaceful and private; even on Friday nights when it's packed, the booths always feel cozy and safe. Kind of vintage vibe. Soft music. Servers are nice, attentive, fast. This is Reno at its best. read more

Service was good but food was bland and expensive! I had one pork enchilada - with lots of potato! - and with rice and beans = $19.50! The menu said it was cooked in green chili salsa but I did not see any and definitely did not taste it. read more

Went in today good salsa and chips. Ask the waiter for some real hot sauce. They bring it. Had chimichanga with shredded beef, rice and beans, huge portion always good. Staff is always nice and friendly reasonably priced for such a large portions. Don't know why some people give this place a bad rap food is always good. read more

Good memories of times gone by. Always good! Impeccable service and fun . From college to retirement, still a customer.

Stopped in for dinner and it was quite good. I had a ground beef taco and a chicken enchilada. It was served hot with beans and rice. Lots of chicken chunks in my enchilada The hubs had a chicken burrito and he thought that was pretty good as well Servers were attentive and helpful in menu selections. It was a little bit noisy and hard to hear our conversation at times but we spoke up and it worked out OK. Plus they have soap of PE0, which many restaurants don't have anymore and they were hot out of the fryer. Serve with strawberry jam and delicious. Only downside was my margarita was almost straight juice and not much alcohol, maybe it was a wine margarita instead of a tequila one I'm not sure. read more

I'm only giving 2 stars due to the quickness of being seated and food arriving. I've been going to this place for years and tonight was the last. Between the dry crunchy rice and chewy beef and the fact I had to hurry home to use the facilities, this place is no longer a place I will eat at. read more

Checked out Mi Casa for the first time and it was pretty good! Decent Mexican food right down the street -- can't beat that. I went mid-day so it wasn't too busy, and the service was amazing. Everyone working was super attentive (seriously, they didn't miss a thing haha). I'm sure my first time won't be my last! read more

The decorarions inside is so fun and vibrant. Food and service were solid. We were slightly disappointed that the fajita did not come on a sizzling plate but otherwise would definitely come back read more

It's sad to watch what used to be a great restaurant slowly go downhill. My wife and I have been coming here for over 40 years remembering when you would have to wait for a table on a Friday or Saturday night. Listen up management: The food is still good just not quite as great as it used to be. The staff is very friendly and attentive but better uniform standards would be nice, also the dining area could use a thorough cleaning, painting and maintenance. The kitchen and bar staff know what they are doing just need to kick it back up a notch. With a little attention to details and a good steam cleaning this place could have a wait line out the door on the weekends like years past. read more

We just returned the U-haul truck when my Stepbrother suggested Mi Casa Too on 4th Street. I've been to the Carson City location with a buddy of mine. I saw a item on the Menu called Cheech and Chong Enchilada, and I ordered it with Chicken. I enjoyed the meal very much, and I'll order it again. 5 Stars. read more

Everything was excellent. IMHO, true authentic Mexican food can only be found in two places. Mexico, and the US Southwest (and I don't mean SW Florida). My party and I ordered across the board, and it was all delicious. I know because we sampled each other's meals. Maybe they used canned frijoles maybe they didn't, but beans are beans. The exterior of the restaurant is adorable and so kitchy we just couldn't resist. Please look at the picture. If you are in the mood for some delicious and affordable Mexican food, I highly recommend it. read more

I can't say enough about one of Reno's Mexican Restaurants, Mi Casa Too. They are celebrating 50 years in business and are still serving the best authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price. I go there for lunch with my oldest friend and sit at Ricky's Bar. He is one of the kindest, most knowledgeable restaurateurs I know. It is always a pleasure to be there. Being a creature of habit, their Beef Taco, Cheese Enchilada with salsa verde plate is as good as it was in the 80's. His staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is quaint with Mexican flare. If you want to come by, they will welcome you with one of their top shelf margaritas or in my case, (Banana/Strawberry Vodka cocktail), in a large vessel fit for a king. Thank you Ricky for your service, quality ingredients and your hospitality. Hats off to my favorite Mexican restaurant read more

MiCasa Too - Owner/Operator, (for 50 years), Ricardo Parredes and one of his amazing cocktails. - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Started going to Micas over 20 years ago when the food was still somewhat affordable. The past six months we have gotten food to go the portions have gotten smaller and smaller. Their chips and salsa are so good last time we ordered a side of salsa and chips, which was $16 before tax, and they left the chips and salsa out that come with the meal. Just went there again today and they left them out yet again. My husband was eating his tacos, and the tortillas were old and falling apart as well. Sadly, they just lost our business. read more

We used to go here decades ago, and as recently as probably 15 years ago, which was the last time until yesterday. We just don't care for their food. The food is gringo-ized and always salty but, I am sure many like it, and that's ok. My wife wanted a couple of tacos so we gave them another try, and ordered one two taco plate to go. I picked up the order promptly and brought it home, about a two minute drive. When she took out the chicken tacos each one was nicely wrapped in a foil pouch to stay warm. However, when she removed them they we actually cold. No melted cheese, just cold, like they were pre-made, taken out of the fridge, and put in the bag. She called them to let them know and the woman who she spoke to was totally uncaring. Also, $20 is a bit on the high end, IMO. The beans and rice were eh.. We gave them another try and will not return. There are many other better choices. I'll give them one thing, they are consistent in the quality of their food! read more

Ive been here a few times and the only thing I really enjoyed is their happy hour margarita pitcher and snack deal, which they no longer do. Its sad too, it was a great deal and even better margaritas! The food here is mediocre, everytime. Crunchy tacos are disappointing, as is the salsa. You get alot of food for your money though. The chips are wonderful however. I would avoid this place unless they bring back the margarita happy hour and snack thing. Those rocked! read more

We came here with a group of our friends and overall everything was pretty good. The staff was friendly and patient with our group of 6. We were also able to get in and out of there within an hour which made for a great quick meal. The margaritas were a hit or miss, someone tried the guava and the entire drink tasted extremely salty. Someone else had a strawberry margarita though which tasted amazing! For dinner I had the fajitas which overall were good but felt like there was not enough meat included. I'm sure we will go back again though! read more
