As the evening went on, the crowd steadily grew, and by around 7 p.m. the place was fully packed--always a good sign. The restaurant is welcoming, offering both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a plus. I ordered a lemon-ginger juice. While refreshing, the ginger was quite overpowering. It also came as a surprise to see the lemon and ginger charged separately on the bill. The melted cheese appetizer wasn't our favorite, especially when compared to similar dishes at other Mexican restaurants. The standout of the meal was definitely the chocolate cake--it was the highlight and worth saving room for. Overall, the food was acceptable, but we felt it was overpriced for what was offered.

Decor is what one would expect for a Mexican style restaurant but with a few extras like a TV and radio playing in the background. We really enjoyed our experience the first time we were here so we brought a friend back with us, especially to try the churros. But first we ordered some Posole, Enchiladas, and Flautas. All were delicious and filling. They had good flavor and were nicely presented. The refried beans and guacamole that the enchiladas and flautas came with were also very good. We also ordered some churros and these were wonderfully delicious again. Really the churros here are the best I've had in PR. Very good. I would have given this place a 5 star review the first time we ate here but I missed the opportunity. This time was slightly different in that our experience felt more around a 4 star quality as the staff was a bit distracted and not as prompt. But for the most part service is good, the food is very good, and again we had a nice experience. So I awarded the 5 stars. I highly recommend Casita Mexicana. Good stuff here.

We started off with the quest fundido Huachinango, which has bacon, chorizo, and ground beef. When it arrived it looked like they had burned it since the outer layer was black, but it wasn't. The cheese was nice and gooey and had a nice cheese pull. Unfortunately, the meat was too much. It was too heavy. Also, the bacon overpowered everything. For the main course I went with the quesabirria. Again, it was good, but not great. I've had better. The consume was a bit bland. The best thing were the margaritas. I had the original and my wife the passion fruit frozen margarita. Both were hits.

Both of us had different salads and the value was pretty reasonable ($20 for a large amount of carnitas or a bit more for a 10oz Churrasco).

The order of beans was also good, reminded me of my childhood meals lol. Space is tight, but you'll get seated quickly as the staff are pretty attentive.

This is a very popular place so I recommend calling to make a reservation, especially if you plan on coming with a large group. They have one large table inside. Other than that it's 2-4 person tables (indoor and outdoor) and the counter at the bar. The tables can obviously be placed together for bigger groups. Still, make a reservation. The interior decor seems to be all over the place, but it works, creating a cool hip vibe. We started out with the queso fundido and tuna creo rolls. Both were good. I'd reorder them. I would like to note that they don't automatically serve you chips and salsa. Older reviews mention they are complimentary but newer reviews state that is no longer the case. You have to ask for them and they'll charge you. We didn't ask for them because the queso fundido comes with chips. For the main course, I had the chimichanga. I saw a photo one one with melted cheese over it (gratinado). The one I received had a creamy cilantro based sauce. It was delicious, and with crema on the side... wow. I will definitely get this again. My mom had the encebollado tacos. She could only eat two of the three that came with the order. I ate it the next day. Yum. The only disappointment were the churros. They weren't bad, just average. And after a great meal, average didn't cut it.
