    Birria Nachos

    I saw a review of this place on line and added it to my list of places to try. We've now been 3 times in the past 4 weeks. Their signature Birria is absolutely delicious. We've had the tacos, the nachos (huge portion) and the ramen and loved every bite. This location is their brick and mortar but they also have food trucks at other locations.

    Okay, so I came from the food truck and that food truck is what made me love this brand. The birria tacos are one of the best in the area. As for the other choices, not so much. So why the higher review for the place? The birria tacos are still great and they have a place to eat it fresh without being outside. The food trucks downside was always that we had to take it home and it is already cold. Here, we finally got to try it as it was intended, which we both agreed that it was better. It is further away from home, but the popularity and the weather always kind of deterred us away from the food truck sometimes. The location is small. Parking is very limited. But it is quite peaceful as there is really nothing else around. As for the Torta, this was much bigger than the food truck to me. I think it is because they did not need to shove and squish it to fit in the take out box, but I never felt this full after their Torta before. I think if you're hungry, the birria nachos is a good deal of food for the price. But a couple of things I would change is that they melt the cheese on top and that they provide consommé. By the time you get to the middle and end of the nachos, the beef becomes a bit dry and the cheese hasn't fully melted in some areas. So far Tacos El Pariente has been our go to spot for Birria tacos in the area and they continue to be our go to spot. We do have other favorites, but they are out really far away like in other state and countries. So, I say this is the best as it gets.

    Carne asada and al pastor tacos!

    Clean little hidden spot. Carne asada, chorizo and salsa were very good. Liked that they had Mexican coke.

    Good tacos and good service. The place is in an industrial park, but it is nice. Try the birria tacos, they are very good!

You order at a counter and are given a number to display at your table. Our food took only a few minutes to arrive. The server also brought over a box holding three salsas in squeeze bottles. The green salsa was pretty mild and the orange one was super hot. The dark one was, I think, chipotle. I didn't care for the chipotle. The tacos looked great and were each pretty packed with ingredients. Pollo tacos - I thought the chicken was a bit dry and, because of that, disappointing. Veggie - The veggie were filled with cooked onion, mushroom and peppers. Although they were well prepared and held a lot of veggies, there was no seasoning, so the taste was pretty flat/boring. I had to rely on adding guac and some salsa for flavor. I was hoping the veggie would have some flavor without having to rely on sauces. Al Pastor - was very good. Guacamole - comes "market price". The side we got was $3, which I think was a good value. The guac was flavorful and was a nice portion. I am glad I had it to supplement the disappointing Veggie taco and the dryness of the Pollo. The corn tortillas were good. The place is nice and comfortable.

    If you get the traditional tacos, decently priced. Favorite was definitely the pescado (recommend…read morethe fried fish dirty style) since it comes with a special sauce and cheese. The tacos were pretty meaty. It would be challenging to have a large group seated all together but for informal quick bites it's a great local choice. I added verde sauce to everything. Many of the salsas were very mild. Would definitely come back to grab drinks with some friends.

    Got the "bamba brisket Mac and queso quesadilla" (see photos)…read more The peices of brisket are ok. There are little to no macaroni noodles. I can't taste the queso. This tastes like Chinese sweet and sour sauce. There was no mention of this sweet and sour sauce being in it on the menu. This is honestly one of if not the worst quesadilla I've ever had. I would rather have one from TacoBell. Some of the food I got was ok. I did like the "Lengua Taco" But the "bamba brisket Mac and queso quesadilla" was horrible, and it was the main thing I was getting. I would not have gotten it if the menu made any mention of this sweet sauce inside. The restaurant in person it ok as far as ambiance, nice outdoor seating, and music.

I needed to have a fast way to order and then simply go for pick up - NOT stand around waiting for the pupusas to cook. The online system worked pretty well but the menu is not that well organized. The restaurant is way bigger than I expected. It was crowded even at 2 in the afternoon so that was a good indication. But I have to admit that the floors, counters and tables were pretty dirty. That surprised me. My order was delivered to me quickly by a very nice and friendly cashier and I went back to my office. The pupusas were fresh and still steaming hot from the oven. I went with the safe chicken & cheese pupusas. The flavor was delicious! There was a little more grease than I expected but I hear that is just part of the pupusa expeience! I would definitely go back and try some of the other flavors. Do I recommend La Casita to others? Yes I do!!!
