La Casa De Samuel — straightforward mexican in Little Village. Good energy here, especially on weekends. The recipes feel handed down, not invented.

“A friend recommended this restaurant and we came here to celebrate my father’s birthday.”
A friend recommended this restaurant and we came here to celebrate my father’s birthday. Such great service; the lady that served us came every once in a while to check on us , if we needed anything else. We got cups of water served, tortilla chips with salsa, more coffee poured into our cup, and then extra napkins! We tried their coctel de camarón mixto, tacos de carne asada, conejo en salsa verde, and the chivo in the plantain leaves (with tortillas hechas a Mano!). For drinks we had banana milkshakes, a Jamaica and horchata aguas frescas, agua mineral preparadas and everything was AMAZING! Todo estuvo sabroso! Muy rico,. Later on I mentioned about my fathers birthday and the servers brought him a flan and put on a sombrero hat on him and sang him “happy birthday /cumpleaños feliz” . My father felt very special ! Thank you for your great service! Muchas gracias por su hermoso servicio!

I been living the neighborhood for a long time and never bother to visit. I finally visited and I regret never coming in before and now I am definitely coming back. They have authentic Mexican food and hand made tortillas! I tried their baby eels which were amazing. They also had live DJ playing good music which made the place more enjoyable.

“We started with the tostada civiche de pescado which was very good.”
We started with the tostada civiche de pescado which was very good. We split it; it was plenty for two people. The salsa was amazing- spicy and warm. I had the pollo en mole which was the best mole I've ever had. My husband had the cochinita pibil, and he said it was great. The hand-made tortillas were so good! The lime margarita was ok, the cantarito was better. We'll definitely be back!

“Came in today with my wife.”
Came in today with my wife. We ordered the deer and cabrito. The dear was not gamey at all and was quite savory. I was told by a few people that the cabrito was one of their specialties. We were not disappointed, the meat was tender and juicy as can be. It is paired with a dark sauce which adds more depth in flavor. Hand made tortillas! Need I say more? Our server was always attentive to anything we might need. Having live music, the ambiance is charming. For desert we had the flamed peaches, although canned; with the richness of the ice cream, sweetness and citric flavors from the peaches along with a coffee; it was a good way to end the meal. Will definitely be back.
