Had a really great meal at La Casita. The Al Pastor Tacos were fresh, crispy, full of flavor, juicy, sweet from the grilled... pineapple and savory with the perfect fattiness from the pork. I love it when the place serves a grilled green onion on theside. The Pancita (tripe soup) was also delicious and the perfect Sunday soup that was hearty, full of flavor and helps yourecover so you can start the week right. It’s a hard soup to find and they only serve it on weekends but I’d highlyrecommend it - soup was mellow and had a slightly gamey flavor from the cuts of meat used. The place is cozy and the staff aresuper nice (shout out to Lindsey). Would definitely come back again. Read more
Good food at a good price. The service was a bit slow despite us being 1 of 2 tables sat. However I did notice that there were a... lot of takeout orders at the same time so maybe that's why. We got an order of flautas and a cuban sandwich with Horchata andHibiscus tea to drink. The Horchata was not the best but the Hibiscus was delicious. We'll be back to try other menu items. Read more
The food was delicious. They seemed to be a bit low on wait staff, so service wasn’t as fast as we’d like. But the waiter... that did serve us was great, he did a good job of working with everyone in a timely manner. I would certainly recommend to placeto my friends and family Read more
I recently moved into the nearby area and had been looking for authentic Mexican food. I was drawn to this place since it had... good reviews but was still a little hesitant. After trying the food it did not disappoint! It was fresh and delicious. Portionswere generous and price was reasonable. Something I loved is that the menu was huge with plenty of room for choice. If you get achance I would say definitely give this place a try! I ordered for take out so not sure how the service is in person but myorder was done super fast and they were courteous as I picked up. Read more
Great new Mexican restaurant in Highland Park!! The menu is giant! They have lot to offer. Food was amazing and prices very... reasonable. All you can see was only $47! Unbelievable! The appetizer combo was 10 bucks and contained everything you can seeon pic 2. The Milanesa was delicious, perfectly cooked, crunchy but not burnt. It comes with a side of salad La Casita Salad wasvert good, it comes with a side of 3 tortillas which are brought inside a box that keeps then warm, just perfect. Lovely place,highly recommended! Oh, the only issue is that the service was kinda slow but it was totally worth it! Read more
La Casita. If you’re into mole, or would like to try, this is top tier, the best I’ve had in a long time. Sweet, deep,... complex - delicious. Many moles are from Oaxaca, but here the owner said it’s her grandmother’s recipe, and it’sexcellent. That’s grilled cactus as a side. I followed it up with breakfast, the red sauce was authentic and good, thetamales very good too. The owner is a wonderful woman, doing her best, she will need an experienced waiter or waitress soon.

This spot has your classic Mexican dishes and all day breakfast! They also have an assortment of freshly baked... goods. Ambiance - plenty of natural lighting - small seating area - fresh flowers at the table are delightful! Service -friendly staff - staff could be more attentive at the table Foods - complimentary chips and salsa: the chips are perfectlycrispy and fried fresh. Both salsas are pretty spicy and paired well with the chips - Tres Leches French Toast- there's nothingbetter than soft and freshly baked brioche soaked with tres leches sauce. You have to get the French toast with the strawberriesand bananas! - Enfrijoladas con Pollo: rolled tacos smothered in refried beans. I really wanted to like this dish butunfortunately the chicken was pretty dry and overall the dish lacked seasoning This place is such a cute spot for brunch andhopefully I can come back soon to try out some of their other dishes!
