Crispy coconut shrimp
Christina W.

We love this family business. It can be pricey, but the food is always yummy, and the people are so friendly. It's clean and welcoming. Love the backyard and the decor, too. Try the coconut shrimp and the mojito!

Crispy coconut shrimp

A friend of mine introduced this place to me not too long ago. She raved so much about the tostadas. I've had other tostadas before, I thought "how great could these be". SHE WASNT LYING! My mouth is salivating just thinking about this place, haha! Best tacos, tostadas, chips and guac, quesadillas, the crispiest coconut shrimp in the area. You can't go wrong with anything honestly....

Love the outdoor space
Jess L.

I met a friend here for a weekday lunch. Their outdoor patio in the back is surprisingly spacious, and we had it all to ourselves this given summer day. Even though we were the only ones there, the wait staff was very attentive! Definitely go for the guac. They make it table side, and it was delicious. The menu is surprisingly huge. It was hard to pick what to get. Go for the tacos so you can try a variety! They do not skimp on size. They checked our vaccine cards, too, which I feel like other establishments are less consistent about.

The best Churros with dulce de leche caramel
Tatiana J.

Cute place with great music they have nice backyard too. It is my favorite Mexican restaurant. Point blank the best. For its freshness , consistency in the quality of flavors and service. Love it here.

Walked into this establishment just because we were in the area and wanted tacos, it was completely empty by that meaning bo one was in there, it was decorated so nice. The young man who spoke to me at first was so calm and helpful It was 5 of us, we placed our orders which took a little while, had some shots ( $28 for 1 shot ) be mindful about that. The gauva frozen drinks wasn't all that. 15/20 min after our order came they were absolutely delicious, very authentic Mexican tacos, the hot sauce very spicy added that extra kick to it, the French fries was also delicious. The place is a small whole in the wall spot, but it worth every penny, drive, wait. Etc. Would be there again This coming weekend! Highly recommend this place.

Patio

I went here for Cinco de Mayo and it was busy, but we were able to get a seat outside. They had music which was a little loud but not to the point where you couldn't talk. Definitely very festive and good for big groups. There was a table of about 10 people which is probably why it took a while to get our order. we got chicken wings which were bit spicy in buffalo flavor, there were six pieces but I needed a cup of water to finish them. Then I got the shrimp taco, Carne Asada, and the chicken Al Pastor taco. my favorite was the shrimp it was very good service and the food was great. I'll try them out another day that isn't a holiday and see if the service is better the backyard looks like it will be great in the summer.

Full tequila bar

For as long as it took to prepare my food I was expecting my steak to be cooked. This place was not busy at all (maybe 2 people inside) so I'm not sure what took my food so long. Anyways when I received my food I noticed the aroma wasn't that great. Nonetheless based on the reviews I still had high expectations for this place. Welp, I placed my expectations too high on this place. Maybe because the place was empty the chef didn't feel like cooking today ? My burrito didn't have much flavor to it. It's smaller than your average burrito so I'm a bit confused why I ended up paying $15.00 for a burrito that said $13.50 on the menu. The steak tasted horrible. It was not cooked throughly. I can't say confidently that I would give this Resturant another shot

Coco Mojito
Amanda M.

Great food! Hidden gem in Ridgewood. Quick service and great vibe. Never disappointed!

Fish tacos crispy
Beth R.

For fish tacos , they used tilapia, not cod, cheaper fish in my opinion but pricey. The salsa were all super spicy , they don't even warn u when ordering. We asked for a regular salsa, no spice. They said they dont have any. So beware, esp if anyone os sensitive to spocy food. Service is ok, there were only 3 tables occupied. Third time here, always come out a bit disappointed each time. I don't think there will be a fourth.

Kermes Nachos and Shepherd Chicken Taco
Paola S.

Authetic Mexican Food, Absolutely loved it. The place isn't big to accomodate a lot of guests but it was great. The Decorations made the place lively, Had Picture frames and Tequila bottles around. Food had a little spice to it, I loved their Aguas Frescas I got a Passionfruit one. The prices are a little up there but you get good food so Worth it for me! definitely coming back

Apple black fig & Walnuts

Upscale delicious food. Every dish is fantastic and their specials are really SPECIAL!

The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the space itself is cozy and charming. The food and drinks are consistently phenomenal. I've probably tried just about everything on the menu at this point, and not a single dish has ever disappointed. Even though I don't usually like salmon, theirs is prepared so well that I actually enjoy it. Some of my personal favorites are the birria tacos, tortilla soup, and the wet burrito. The drinks are just as impressive, with a secret sangria recipe that's always a hit. My go to is the frozen watermelon margarita, refreshing and delicious every time. As a longtime regular, I can confidently say that once you try La Casita, you'll be hooked and want to come back again and again.

Some of their dishes are worth the hype! We made reservation for brunch at 11:30am on a Sunday and…read moreit was completely full. (don't attempt to walk in, place is small and PACKED!) We tried a bunch of stuff and the star was definitely the soft scrambled egg tostada, the masa pancakes and coffee tres leches cake. These are a must try! Good to try was also the fried oaxacan cheese but at $14 for 3 pieces, it's not worth a repeat order for me. These were skippable to be honest: mega thick bacon (just ok) home fries (meh) The chilaquiles (pork chorizo, salsa ranchera, crema, queso fresco, sunny up eggs) lacked flavor for a dish with so much going on. Service was pretty quick.

Came specifically for their famous masa pancakes and YES, you must get them. Crispy exterior, fluffy and soft inside. Soaks up the delicious syrup perfectly and the slab of cold cinnamon butter on top is the most delicious touch (if you're like me and love butter). I'm also a huge chilaquiles fan (California natives, stand up) so had to try that as well - very, very good. Chips were the perfect balance of crispy and soft, pork chorizo was balanced in flavor. We also got a side of their mega thick cut bacon, home fries, and eggs. All wonderfully executed - easy things to add on that don't take away from the main events. I guess the one thing I wasn't a huge fan of was their drip coffee (no other options outside of cold brew) but if that's the only downer from this meal, I can absolutely live with it. Service was lovely even sitting at the bar and the hosts were really kind as we were a walk-in. Definitely a place to try if you like a unique pancake and Mex-American flavors!

The tacos here live up to the hype!…read more My friends and I came here for dinner on a weeknight. Around 6:30pm, it was easy for the four of us to snag a table in the back, near the back patio, but there is some seating in the front part of the restaurant as well. I ordered one of their mezcal cocktails with a Tajín rim (El Amante) which was yummy then we started with an order of chips and salsa, chips and guacamole and esquites. The esquites was fantastic, but we wished the guac was larger and came with more chips. For my entree, I ordered a tripa taco and a cecina taco. I cannot decide between a favorite because they were both so good. The tripa was crispy and tender in all the right places. I was worried about the cecina taco being too salty but that wasn't the case, it was perfection. We all appreciated how they served each taco with double corn tortillas, so they held up well. And of course, we couldn't leave without trying the churros. They were just the right size 2 people to share in my opinion but we were all pretty satisfied by then so we were ok splitting 4 ways. Our waiter was really funny and checked up on us regularly. The music here was also great (a lot of Bad Bunny), and the decor was on point. Good food and a great atmosphere!

There's a casual front area with high tables and stools, but if you want table service there is a seating area in the back, and even a backyard space for temperate seasons. We were only one of three parties there so our food came out fast and hot. I enjoyed the chicken taco most, the seasoning was just right and there was a slight smoky char on the meat that beat out the flavor of the shrimp taco. Pozole was spicy and hot, so satisfying on a cold day. They run happy hour and Taco Tuesday specials, so there are even better deals in store at this spot, a true neighborhood taqueria.

Once I heard that they served Argentinan food, I had to go try it out. Walking inside it was nicely decorated as it was New Year's Day. We were the only customers which we liked so the service was great. There were people doing take out or delivery service. We took note that if you decided to use cash it would cheaper. Good thing we carry cash with us. While looking over the menu, I had to ask what the waiter would recommend and he stated they are known for their Argentinan food. So, I ordered the Milanesa Napolitana which was Argentinan breaded chicken or beef, which was topped with tomato sauce and tomatoes, and mozzarella. It came with a salad or side - I got a side of Yuca Fries. The other entrees that we ordered for the table was the Klandestino Skirt Steak with Churrasco. The chimichurri sauce was banging and yummy. The Argentinan dish was very unique and I would definitely order it again. We were stuffed and couldn't eat another bite. I would come back if Im ever in Middle Village area again.
