“We are traveling in town and wanted to get a nice bite to eat after a long day out on the town. When googling, we seemed this place was almost too good to be true because of the such high reviews. After getting seated, the three dips were pretty good, but the chips were a bit stale. I asked the waiter if they sold queso, and he said yes and said that they have one with meat, or one with beans, so I ordered the one with beans because I really like refried beans. The "queso" came out and it was just straight refried beans and melted shredded cheese with a ton of oil that was built up on the side. I also ordered the chimichanga and it was just filled with straight "ground beef" with seemingly nothing else in it. I also never got a price of the "queso" because it was not on the menu and once paying for my tab, it was more than my entire chimichanga. All of this on top of the bland guacamole makes my entire party deciding to not ever come back to this establishment. Hope they can get the problems fixed.”
“This place is amazing great service great atmosphere the food is amazing as well I do recommend and Santiago was a great waiter and made me feel welcome”
“What a great experience. I just moved here and am a disabled Vet that uses a doctor prescribed service dog and was denied seating at other Mexican restaurants. I did a Google search and found Las Casitas and gave them a try. I'm glad the others wouldn't seat me as Las Casitas was a wonderful find. Great food and service, we'll be back.”
“Friendly service, enchiladas (chicken) in green sauce was fantastic. Salsa, hottest/spiciest was 🔥! I know I will return.”
