We went today (Sunday) for early dinner. The casita cocktail was ok. The menu was not even attractive. We ordered a Casita salad that supposedly had arugula, mango and lime vinaigrette, to my surprise the mango was nowhere to be found, I asked and they told me it was "shaved mango"  never seen such a pale "mango" in my life. Do not recommend. The chile relleno was ok, the shrimp chile (3) were disgusting, too acidic  the aioli, the way the shrimp was cooked and the chile . The rib eye tacos were dry, the carnitas tacos were flavorless. Will not return and do not recommend.

Had a lovely dinner at Casita! We enjoyed the dine LA menu, it was incredible. The guacamole was fantastic, and the barbacoa tacos and shrimp chile were delicious. The spicy margarita was also very good! A big thank you to our waitress Estefanie for her incredible service. She was so attentive and friendly, making our dinner experience even better. I’ll be back for sure!

I don’t remember the last time I had such a disappointing dining experience. Me and 3 others came for dinner around 7, got seated immediately which was appreciated but unfortunately we had to flag someone down just to get some water after sitting there for about 15 minutes with no one even approaching us. After we put our order in, food started to come out quickly (again, appreciated). We got guac and chips for the table which was not worth the $17 it cost. The best thing about it was the fresh chips that it came with. My wife and I both ordered the carnitas tacos. They were the smallest tacos I’ve ever seen but they looked good so we went in. Unfortunately, they lacked any sort of flavor even with the salsa and lime they gave. I only ate one of them. The cilantro lime rice was good but an interesting texture, almost saucy. We also got the the enchiladas which came out in a cast iron skillet so those had some good flavor. Our friends got the half chicken, which was a small portion for it being half a chicken and only came with 3 tortillas but they said the flavor was good. We were celebrating a birthday and were thankful for the free churros and sparkler although it did take a while to get. They were dry and not very sweet so definitely needed that chocolate and caramel they come with. There was a live dj playing music and people seemed to enjoy it for the most part. Cocktails started at $19 so we didn’t even bother to get any. We struggled keeping water in our cups because we kept having to ask to get refills rather than having someone come around and topping us off like most restaurants do. Overall, definitely wouldn’t come back. If you want a similar vibe with a similar price point but have food with actual flavor, try Cascabel.

A tab bit over priced to cime often but the drinks are good and food wasn't bad.  That aguachile ain't my daddy's aguachile..  that jamaica juice they put in it is a game changer🤯 never in my life did I imagine something like that would be that good.

My boyfriend and I came here last Saturday night to celebrate our anniversary, the vibes of the restaurant were amazing, as well as the food and drinks. The staff and manager, Jacob, was so incredibly kind and thoughtful to us the entire night and made us feel so special. He even brought out a complimentary shot of his favorite tequila for us to try. Would definitely come back here for a cute dinner. Casita was a perfect place for us to spend our special night at. Would definitely recommend coming here to anyone!
