    Visit was on a Saturday evening. Was greeted at the door promptly. Cleanliness of dining room was above average. Chips are served warm. Salsa had good flavor, it was puréed style salsa with smooth texture and with a medium level of spicy to it. I ordered the guacamole as well to go along with the chips and salsa. The guacamole had a whipped and light airiness to it. It was a bit on the bland side in regards to flavor and spice and I didn't detect any hints of citrus in it. For the main course I ordered the Grilled Shrimp tacos. The shrimp had good seasoning and were juicy. The meal is served with refried beans, lettuce, Pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole, served on a separate plate. The shrimp are served wrapped in flour tortillas, which is wrapped in aluminum foil. It made the tortillas soggy served as such. It would have been improved by having the tortillas wrapped on their own without the moistness of the shrimp and steam. The refried beans were ok. They had flavor and seasoning to them which is better than many places that just open a can, heat and serve. I did not get the impression that anything was made from scratch, which, admittedly in don't expect from most Mexican restaurants. It's difficult to give a review of the Pico de gallo since there was such a small amount served on the plate. The atmosphere was family friendly, not too loud and spacing is adequate. Appears very ADA accommodating as well. In summary, I would say this establishment rated fair within its class as far as Mexican restaurants located in the area. I have been to far worse! It lacks the freshness and authenticity, but, this is mid Alabama, and that isn't uncommon. For the average family used to the commercialized Mexican food , this place will more than satisfy you. Overall, the portion sizes were adequate by typical American standards (way too much food for me to eat in a sitting though). If you are searching for true, made from scratch Mexican food, this will leave you desiring more.

    The service was great but I was unimpressed by the food. The complementary salsa was outstanding and the chips were good and fresh. The servers kept our glasses and salsa dishes full. I ordered a combo plate with a flauta, chili releno and chicken quesadilla. The food was ok but the quesadillas my wife and I make at home were better. Rather than thin strips of meat the chicken was in large chunks. This seemed to be the same chicken in the tacos and other dishes and while tender they didn't have much flavor. While the food didn't wow me I was very reasonably priced (my bill was a bit over $10). If you're looking for low-threat, 'American-ized' Mexican food that's cheap with good service this is the place for you. But don't come expecting anything special or authentic.

    The food here is not good! There are many good Mexican restaurants around this area, but this is not one of them. I ordered an enchilada and the sauce is way too sweet. I really liked that they have low prices, but after eating the food I see why. Not planning on going back.

    Followed Craig's advice and ordered carnitas. They were excellent and way more than I could eat despite my big appetite. What an excellent value.

    Same ole same ole Mexican food you get at any other place. I had "J" which consisted of a chicken taco, chicken enchilada and a ground beef chili relleno. Bland, needs more flavor, no more salt, enchilada sauce had plenty. Salsa tasted like it had ketchup in it, service was fast and friendly. If your looking for a quick fix and not Taco Bell, this is the place!

    Located in a sprawling shopping center, Las Casitas should actually be called Casa Grande due to its high ceilings and cavernous interior that bears more than a passing resemblance to Disney's "It's A Small World" attraction. Chips and salsa came quickly and were decent - nice kick in the sauce. House margarita was tasty and the menu is no frills in both design and content. I ordered carnitas, which was a decent portion, not too much, served with a copious amount of onions (yes!), rice, refried beans and guacamole salad. The pork chunks were a trifle tough but seasoned pretty well. The spicy chipotle sauce was an added bonus. That and I got four tortillas instead of the customary three. I love rebellion. The cavernous interior makes for somewhat of a noisy dining experience and the music is faint unless you're seated by the bar. Service was quick and friendly, prices were right. A right worthy stop on life's highway.

    To me Mexican food is almost always good, but seldom special. This place is definitely above average. My shrimp tacos and my wife's enchiladas were both very fresh, hot, and tasty. Service was friendly and efficient.

    Definitely ask for additional salsas if you like a hotter salsa. Service was pretty good. We had a group of 14 and they got us in quick. I had a peach margarita and it was delicious! I had the enchilada combo with cheese sauce and rice and beans...again pretty tasty! Overall great experience!

    Just ate a wonderful meal for $5.95 of a soft chicken taco that was delicious, refried beans which could have used more cheese & a side of jalapenos. I ordered al carte menu. The chips were warm and plentiful. The salsa was good. It was a basic tomato sauce with a little cilantro. The service is fantastic here. I told the waiter I wanted some extra hot sauce. He smiled & asked if I really like spice. I replied "YES"! He brought (for free) a red hot chili pepper sauce that was perfect, a green ground jalapeno sauce & the KICKER a yellow something that I could only put in my mouth once. I could tell by the burn that it was a sauce that would build on you and leave you begging for MILK! They only lose a star for the just "good" salsa. I could use A LOT more cilantro in mine! ;)

    The hidden gems here are when you go outside of the normal "Mexican" food items. The pork carnitas are great as well the the Tacos Carbon. The service is the best of any restaurant around period. Ask for the other hot sauces and they will bring you a sample of three different sources to try.

    I was pleasantly surprised with this place. After living in Texas for about four years I grew accustomed to bland Mexican (really Tex-Mex) food so I was expecting the same from this place. It is not the best I've had but it was pretty good. For starters you get the complementary chips and salsa. After looking at their large menu, I ordered the Burrito Relleno and it was delicious. I was surprised at how well seasoned it was. Other people I was with were very satisfied with their orders as well. As far as the service goes, I was very pleased. Our group was about 50 people (graduation dinner) and service was excellent. Food came out fairly quickly and no one's order was messed up. The price was excellent. Our drinks were always filled and overall was a great experience. I paid just under $10 for my meal and a drink and this was at dinner time. Great little place. I recommend it and would definitely go back.

    Outstanding service, our chips and salsa and drinks never got low. The food was good (a little bland for my taste but I'm used to Tex-Mex) and the atmosphere was great.

    I LOVE this place! I go there often because they have the best service, food and drinks around! The atmosphere is fun with its colorful walls and openness. The waiters always make sure your glass is full and make sure to check on you.

    Delicious! And seriously great service. The key was the special hot sauce. The yellow one was fantastic! We got the spicy shrimp and the tampiquena. Both were solid. Also the top shelf margaritas were winners.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
