Virginia's Casita - Carne Asada plate - Mexican Near Me - Brawley, California

Visited 3/10/2022 Back again for the best Mexican Food in Brawley. The service is fantastic with it being a family run and owned with a super welcoming atmosphere. With a very friendly menu for adults as well as children and your selection with something for everyone. Combo lunches and dinners are extremely good with plenty of food to go around. This is also the best breakfast in Brawley. I used to go to go to another local favorite by the name of Brownies For breakfast but Quality has dropped a bit over there. Virginias is my go to breakfast place with breakfast being served all day. Just want to thank Virginia and her daughters for a very pleasant experience. Thanks Ladies. read more

Excellent food at a reasonable price.. wish they were open more hours though.. The atmosphere at the place is very nice as well..

We've been in the area for a few years now and have wanted to try out Virginia's Casita. But try as we might we were never able to find it. Finally one Saturday DH and I were on a mission. After turning into a parking lot that was for tenants of some apartments, behind some gorgeous shrubs and trees, we saw it! A pretty little corner unit with a generous and shady patio, with a neat as a pin interior with a very cute teacup motif. Virginia obviously takes great care and pride in her place. The food certainly reflects that. DH ordered Chile Colorado and for myself Chile Verde of course. Started with nice warm and crisp chips and salsa. Tasty without being too overpoweringly hot. Next up was a cup of Mexican chicken soup. Such simple ingredients that packaged a big punch. Followed up with our Chile plates. Generous portions of the best rice and beans I've ever had in the Imperial Valley. Very authentic. The meats were very tenter. Fork tenter actually. And the sauces were rich, flavorful and authentic in all respects. Brought just the right 'sheen' to my forehead! Service was wonderful. Felt like we were being taken care of by our favorite abuela. And pricing was very reasonable. read more

We have ordered the chili verde omelette, biscuit & gravy, pancakes, & Pozole, which are all very authentic & delicious! Thank you Virginia's Casita for providing us with your beautiful hospitality & unforgettable food! Deborah & Tim Ochoa read more

We got a warm welcome when we enter. The owner greeted us. We were a party of 8 and they made sure we all sat together. The place has a lot of plates in the walls, a lot of decorations everywhere. It kinda seems like you are in someone's home. Food wise, not the best! The chips and salsa they first give you are store bought. The orange juice taste that is from the gallon jar. Husband did enjoy the ice coffee (the only thing that tasted ok). The French toast where just toasted bread with cinnamon taste. They got also got bacon, it was over cook. My burrito wasn't the best, only nopales with egg, no salsa or avocado just plain no seasoning. The avocado toast was ok, cannot go wrong with avocado, but half an avocado for each bread isn't enough. My brother in law got the chilaquiles, same chips and salsa as they serve us at the beginning, not the best. Please note, if you use their cup they will charge $1 so just get a to go cup. read more

I've upgraded my review to five stars because it's impossible not to love how friendly this family-run place is. Also, the food was delicious. I had the fish tacos and they really hit the spot, using the Baja-style white cream sauce and cabbage. This has become our go-to place when we are in Brawley. I love Virginia's daughter, who is super friendly and has a great sense of humor. It feels like you are eating in an abuelita's dining room, and you gotta love it. read more

If you can find this place it's a fun breakfast. The entrance is off of a parking lot /alleyway. It's in the back of a big building just off of main Street. The French toast was excellent with eggs and with crisp bacon. Biscuits and gravy were meaty and creamy and the biscuits were super soft. Chile verde omelet was excellent with big chunks of pork not too spicy. The steak potato omelette was fun. Nice mix of vegetables and pieces of steak and a red sauce. Comes with some really creamy beans and a side of potatoes. The service is great. I think the lady that owns the place comes out and talks to me she brought around a soup. I'm not sure how you have soup for breakfast but we ate it and it was delicious tomatoe. They refilled my iced tea when it got near the bottom. All smiles, really friendly, and reasonably priced. Parking is easy in the parking lot on the side and the restrooms were very clean. read more

Not for nothing, it we drove down Main Street twice poodle this place. Maybe more or better signage?

We stopped for a break on our way to San Diego from Yarnell. What a gem! Beautiful authentic Mexican food, and ambiance. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and polite. The food was outstanding and catered to our pescatarian diet. The fish tacos were really good and tasty and my partners vegetarian quesadilla which was made especially for him, included cactus amongst other things, was delicious! Highly recommend if you are passing through. read more

Really good, freshly made and tasty food. Nice upbeat casual ambience. Excellent customer service.

Brawley a very hot place in the summer. Small town and looks like an old town. Well the city has many places to dine in and i looked up a mexican restaurant and came across Virginia's casita. I noticed right away it had sooo many 5 star reviews so i had to try it. At first we stood there waiting to be seated and Virginia had not noticed us standing there as she attended things around and was cleaning...but an employee who works there noticed us standing and waiting and at the same time talking to Virginia as she sipped on her refreshment and not once mentioned to Virginia "you got customers" since Virginia did not notice we were there waiting. Once Virginia noticed us she apologized and stated she did not see us come in and this was true but her employee did. Once seated we were given chips and salsa and i have to be honest here ..the chips did have a mix of stale and crunchy chips. salsa was good. I love Aguas and we were given sample which was nice and that to me was the best. Freshly made and very delicious and refreshing. i loved the Jamaica and they also had this Tropical one that was amazing. The menu was easy to read and i noticed on the back it is stated "aguas w/refill 4.95" and that i liked and cups were a good size and to get a refill was awesome. You get sopa de fidel along with your order and comes out before your order and the soup was nice. i enjoyed it. We ordered and we got a torta de carnitas and sopes. Sopes i was told they did not have that flavor that one enjoys when homemade but overall they were ok. My torta was good, i enjoyed it but the carnitas were more like chunks not pulled apart or shredded. But i had no problem with it just usually i get the meat pulled apart. my dish came with fried and they did not taste made from scratch they had ridges and seem like they came frozen but then just cooked and fried but they did taste good enough to eat :) so we finished and we were satisfied. and still enjoying our refreshments with "one" refill still to get keep in mind. Virginia has been in the business 50 years and is open from morning till 2pm. its good and many customers seem to love it and dine in and enjoy Virginias vibes. virginia is as sweet as they come. lovely and welcomes you and visits your table and ask how is everything and very warming. ok so she asked if we wanted a refill and we decided to ask for it on foam cup to go since we were done. Virginia said offcourse and got us our drinks on to go cups. We got up to pay with satisfaction on our tummys. Once Virginia went over the bill we noticed we were charged $20 for the drinks! we were shocked and asked why so much on drinks? Virginia stated because we got refills. And i quickly and nicely corrected her and said her menu has the drinks "with 1 refill". Virginia said yes but thats only if you drink your refill within the restaurant. I was again shocked she said that. We had told her before ordering we are new to city and it was our first time. Having said that i feel Virginia could have and should have said if we take the drinks to go she would have to charge us. But to me thats besides the point since a refill is a refill regardless u drink inside or to go. We were so good and happy and satisfied until the charge on the drinks being doubled. i explained and mentioned that i had no idea one gets charged to have then to go. Virginia just said i will refund just one then and i was not going to be negative or rude so i just said ok let me just pay the bill and we had only one refill removed which should have been both since being nee customers and was jot told that or displayed on the menu to advise customers that there free refills turn out to be charged if one takes it to go. Well our 5 star turned into 4 star due to this which being new customers we should have experience differently about the charging on drinks. Place is nice and has many dishes displayed and i do recommend this place highly but just be careful and "ask" about how charges work on refills or anything specifically :) read more

Best Mexican food in the Imperial Valley. It feels like a nice homemade Mexican meal.

Great family restaurant. Stopped there off of a yelp review and was very impressed with the food. The service was excellent also, Daniella is super friendly. Had the cowboy special, just the right amount of food for a big appetite. You can't see it from the road but just follow the directions it's worth it. read more

This place was delicious a little hole in the wall but well worth finding. I had carne en chile rojo with two over easy eggs with beans and a small chicken soup which was delicious! I drive a semi for a living and finding places where you can park the semi and delicious food is close to impossible, this place was perfect. As soon as I walked in it reminded me of my grandmothers place with a lot of beautiful mexican decorations. The owner Virginia is the sweetest lady you will ever come across. Right away she made me feel like I was family... I would not mind driving my Harley 3hrs plus To try another delicious dish. Thank you again for the delicious food will definitely stop by again. read more

On our way home to the Palm Springs area after visiting the dentist in Algodones, we wanted to stop for lunch somewhere in between. We found this highly rated little gem, but, sadly, on our way in, we discovered they were closed by 2 PM. We were a few minutes after that in arriving. However, Virginia was so welcoming and hospitable---even though no one else was there---that she unlocked the door and invited us to sit down and eat. Some other reviewers mentioned this homey-grandma-type feel to this little restaurant and I would heartily concur! Food was delicious and we would definitely go back again! Thank you Virginia! read more

From the classic Spanish music, to the welcoming owner/staff, in addition, the FOOD is DELICIOUS! I HIGHLY recommend visiting, enjoying some DELICIOUS Food at Virginia's! She opens at 7AM, however, I've arrived at 6:45/50 am and she's already open to her customers. read more

This place is heaven. Honesty I'm slightly hesitant to post this review, and tempted to keep it a secret. Virginia, wherever you are: you are a treasure. Everyone who works here is nicer than my own family, and I want them to adopt me and feed me chilaquiles for the rest of my days. We were brought soup (on the house!!) by a very sweet lady that tasted like something grandma makes you when you're sick. (It had potatoes and corn and spinach? Whatever. It was so good that now life seems unfair that I won't be able to eat it every day.) Our tab was $25 for two huge and delicious breakfasts, plus drinks and extra salsa. I love this place with my whole heart AND belly. read more

Good food and great service. They were really friendly and most of the customers are regulars. The noodle soup that came with my order was very delicious . I had to order some to go! The place is hidden in the back parking away from the main street. read more

Had the bacon, eggs, beans, potatoes, and tortillas. The potatoes were unreal. Perfectly cooked.

Take your GPS readings with a grain of salt, as when I entered the address of this amazing restaurant, my GPS landed me at least a mile west, near the western outskirts of town, far from the actual destination. GPS doesn't seem to know much about "Main Street" in Brawley, as I just happen to know it's divided 'east" from "west" by 8th Street, also know as California State Highway 111. Virginia's Casita is located in back of the Cd. Plaza building, located at the intersection of 8th and Main Streets, in the "heart" of downtown Brawley. Forget your GPS, forget your street address, as you just want to park in back of Cd. Plaza, and you'll find Virginia's Casita, located at the rear of the complex. No problem with safe, off-the-street parking. I have to admit that Virginia's is a little hard to find, but the quest is well worth the effort, as the food is delicious, and Virginia will welcome you as if you were a part of her family. The breakfast menu of Virginia's is both basic and extensive, depending the way you look at it. Both American and Mexican cuisine is offered. You will not meet a friendlier restaurateur in your lifetime than Virginia! The "cutesy-poo" decor is... well... cute, the service is fast, friendly and amazing, and the food will make you come back again and again. Oh, did I say the food is AMAZING? If you love good food, you'll love Virginia's Casita. Check out the photos I've posted and go to www.erench.com for the full review on Virginia's, and other restaurants. read more
