Las Cazuelas Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Mary W.

    I live in Surprise and have been wanting to try this place since we don't have an abundance of Mexican food choices. I'm sorry I did! The chips were overdone and the salsa was bland! I ordered a simple meal (#1) taco and enchilada with rice and beans. The description says "taco and (beef or chicken) cheese enchilada". I ordered the beef taco. When my plate came, I really tried to like it. I'm generally pretty easy to please but nothing about this was right! The taco was as skinny and skimpy on the meat as a jack n the box taco, the beans, rice and enchilada sauce were cold. And the enchilada was beef, not cheese. I'm talking a sweet tasting mushy beef! When the server brought my margarita I told her I was expecting a cheese enchilada and she rudely said, " You need to tell the server when you order or we make it all beef." I politely told her I asked for the taco to be beef but didn't expect that to apply to the enchilada. She just stared at me and repeated you had to have told the server when you ordered. So I just replied "ok." I managed to eat maybe 1/3 of this sorry $8.99 meal. Would it have been too much for her to have switched it out for me? As far as drinks, we were NEVER offered refills of our water or tea. (And the place was almost empty on this 6:00 pm Monday evening dinner.). The $2.99 house margarita was in a tiny ice filled glass. I expected small for that price but I also hoped for some flavor. This was basically watered down lime juice. My husband's bottled Corona was fine. My husbands enchilada style burro was fine and my sons chicken taco salad was fine. Unfortunately, I was the one who loves Mexican food and was excited about trying it. Sorry Las Caquelas...never again. Taco Bell has you beat by a long shot!

    I've never been to Surprise Arizona before so I had no idea where to go eat when we were out here for a Rangers spring training, so as always I relied on Yelp to help me and my co-workers find a spot! We were searching for Mexican food, so as soon as I found the reviews for Las Cazuelas, we immediately headed that way. It's located in a strip mall next to a gun store but don't let this deter you. Once we entered the place we saw that it was packed, which is a really good sign. It seems as if the locals as well as all of the out of towners frequent this place. The restaurant is divided into two sections so we took a seat in the rear in ne of the booths. I looked at the very large menu and ordered the vegetable fajitas. When I asked for no cheese or sour cream, they said it wouldn't be a problem at all. They brought out my plate of fajitas along with a side of cheese covered beans. The portions were huge and real good too. I hate the fact that they bring you a basket of only three tortillas, yet you have a whole plate full of food to fill them with! The grilled onions and peppers were good, the only problem that I had with it was that they included tomatoes as well. This kind of made the plate runny and soggy. I really wish that they would have given me a little more guacamole as well. But overall it was a good meal and I'm glad that we found this spot. Great food, great service, what more can you ask for? I definitely recommend Las Cazuelas if you're in the Surprise area. Venture a couple of blocks off of Bell and the tourist area and try it out, you won't be upset that you did

    The tacos and enchiladas were so good. Lots of different items on the menu. We will be back to try more.

    I travel between California and Texas fairly often and I always make sure to stay overnight in Surprise so I can eat here twice. I've never had a bad meal here and the service has always been excellent.

    I don't know if this is the location I went to when I went to this restaurant but they have this amazing cold Mexican seafood soup. I haven't been here in years or had the soup in years but I look forward to my next visit. I have been craving this for a long time now. And I definitely recommend people to try this soup. I can't think of the name but when you go, you should ask for the cold soup with seafood in it. :)

    Service at night was VERY VERY slow. I was charged for the wrong items, never got 1 refill and never was asked if my food was OK. The server seemed new at her job because she had to ask others questions about orders etc. Perhaps she should have had help! Well, food was not very good and I left her a nice big $0.00 tip for the worst service I have had in awhile.

    WE LOVE THIS PLACE Las Cazuelas is so very consistent with their food and service. The food is reasonably priced and soooo flavorful. I had the stuffed shrimp. Couldn't eat them all. They were stuffed with jalapeño and cheese and wrapped with bacon. YUMMY. My wife had her usual. Shrimp burrito with white cream sauce. Her burrito was loaded with shrimp...as usual...inside and out. She couldn't eat all hers either so we get to bring the white boxes home to enjoy the meal again. We really appreciate this quaint out of the way restaurant. Betty our hostess makes our visits there always special. Always first class. THANK YOU BETTY. We will be back again and again.

    It's an ok place to get some ok mexican food. This has been my 3rd time here and each time the quality of the food and service has been lacking. The place use to be full of customers and on my recent trip, there were only 7 of us in the restaurant. Evidently, this did not increase our chances of receiving a hot plate nor the correct order.

    Nice little hole in the wall with simple & fresh Mexican food. There's a full bar and happy hour from 4-7 everyday! I'll admit, the shopping center this place is in may put you off... don't be scared. The restaurant is a bit dated... continue not being scared. Total comfort food awaits for those not easily deterred.

    Finally decided to try this place, food is pretty decent but the prices are a little high for what it is. I would eat here again because it is close to my work and is convenient to stop in for lunch. The tables are really close together and the place could use a little clean up. Not exactly the place I would like to sit down at and eat with my family.

    Since retiring here in AZ last year, my wife and I have looking for a good mexican resturant to have breakfast. We found it after our neighbor recommend we try it. It has been our Saturday (and sometimes Sunday) breakfast spot not only for us but the kids when they visit from California.The menudo is great along with the red and green salsa cups they serve with the complimentary chips. This is our main breakfast place on the weekends. Love it!!!

    Why the hate? I see a lot of bad reviews on here and do not understand why. The place is no 5 star eatery by any means. But its good mexican food if in the area, again not great like some old fashion joints make it but it's at least a few steps above Filiberto's. Staff is friendly, place is never too packed. I reccomend the carne asda burrito with cheese sour cream and hot sauce only. Even the bean and cheese burrito is pretty good with a large chicken taco. Give this place a chance but don't go in expecting to be blown away.

    We go here fairly often, usually on Tuesday or Thursday when they have 99 cent margaritas. The food is very good, nice portions with a good variety. The staff is friendly. I would highly recommend it.

    We will never go back after we saw the owner "Manuela" pouring cheap tequila to a "Patron bottle", this is not honest because If we pay for a shot of Patron, we want to get patron, also my neighbor said that she ask for a shot of Gran Manier and was not gran manier, we know the owner and she is changing expensive liquor for cheap liquor, we already called to the liquor department, they already went there. Also I know that she is employing illegal immigrants to underpay them, they work more then 55 hours weekly and Manuela doesn't pay overtime, I know this because a friend of mine works there, I won't say name because I don't want him to get fired, but yeah we will call immigration services to investigate this restaurant because what's Manuela is doing is absolutely illegal. Good luck

    Decided to try this restaurant for lunch one day. Read the other reviews and like all other restaurants some good ones and some bad. Took the leap anyways. Glad we did because it wasn't bad at all. My husband had the carne asada quesadilla and he enjoyed it. I had the ceviche tostada and it was very good. The guacamole was a little bland but other than that everything was good. Our server was very good also. We will definitely try this place again so don't count it out in Surprise if you are tired of Macayos.

    We've been going to Las Cazuelas for about 8 years now. The children's menu is only $2.95 per plate, and that includes a drink too! They have 99 cent margaritas on Tuesdays & Thursdays! Fantastic service! Just love it here!

    Beware of food poisoning and terrible service. Ordered: Whole Tilapia Carne Asada Plate (food poisoning) Machaca Shrimp Cevice (this didnt get me sick) I had been there many, many times with my family. I was willing to tolerate poor service in exchange for cheap and decent food. But then one day... I ordered the carne asada plate and everything on my plate was hot... except for my meat!! Oh they warmed it up for me... But, the real question is WHY DID I EAT IT AFTER THAT? I got food poisoning. Never will return

    The prices are little higher (still way cheaper than in Hawaii) than Zef's but the portions are HUGE! I had a fish burrito $4.75, rolled tacos $5.50 (YUM) and my MIL had the carnitas plate (enough for two) and my husband the al pastor burrito. Their menu is a lot more expansive as they are a full restaurant. They even have senior discounts too! I love the guacamole here, it's nice and chunky and they gave a lot on their rolled taco order. The location is kind of out of the way from my In-law's place but not far. Its kind of in a dusty shopping center. The restaurant itself was clean, but not the newest in decor. However, it seems they have a steady following of patrons as their staff is attentive and friendly. I'll come back here and sit down to eat and try something else, as I only did take out and did just quick food (burritos). My recap: Pros: -Huge portions for pretty inexpensive prices -Happy Hour and Senior discounts -Good food Cons: -Their take out is SLOW. Call in a head of time to avoid waiting 20 minutes or so. We should of done that, we just walked in and ordered and tho there wasn't a full house of people, I wondered why it took so long. Other folks just walked in and picked up...smart.

    Good food, plenty on the plate, cheap prices. The place is clean, service good. You can call in orders for takeout. We go there often. Try the #2 or #3 dinners.

    Yet again they let us down and now we remember why... We knew we had not been back in awhile. While we love the cerviche, (we get the one with the abalone/oysters/octopus/shrimp/clams) YUM! ut all we like... The rice is yuck with corn and carrots in it, beans are not much better, chips,, blah... nothing special... but after ordering a margarita special... Serious??? Thats a margarita?? Pretty watered down and flavorless...(it was not the .99 cent special ) When I spoke to the waitress she could have cared less... We shared THE ONE sppon that came with our cerviche for over 5 minutes till we were able to wave down someone for anotehr spoon... Sorry to put the waitstaff out.. next time I simply will not bother coming...

    It's one of those places that can either be amazing or "Meh. I've experienced better" They didn't understand that I didn't want corn in my rice (no big deal) the chips were hard and dry like they were from Costco (you could still eat them, and we did) the food was "ok" and inexpensive. Service was adequate.

  • Jennifer D.

    Yuck! How do you call yourself a mariscos restaurant and not sell fish? Also they have this picture of a big refreshing margarita and it says $.99 happy hour but when you go to order it its as big as a shot glass with ice filled to the rim and it actually costs $2.99! It's the worst Mariscos restaurant I have ever been to! Please don't waste your money!

  • Raymond A.

    Not bad! Very friendly staff. Good prices and generous portions. No, it is not the best Mexican food I've ever had, but it is good enough to go back twice a month. I usually get one of 3 items, Chicken Torta, Chicken Burrito Enchilada Style or the Fish Burrito. My wife usually gets Caldo, 3 Rolled Taquitos or Chile Rellenos. I can honestly tell you I seldom finish everything on my plate and I never leave hungry!

    I have lived in phoenix all my life and seeing as mexican food is one of the main dishes here it goes without saying that i have tried numerous places both good and bad. This unfortunately was a bad one, the flour tortillas and salsa were the best thing of the 2 dishes I tried. The beans though they were creamy and smooth seriously lacked flavor of any kind the rice was also just as bland as disappointing. The chips they serve when you first sit down are ok, but they only serve 1 basket free where 99% of other places will serve you as many as want. this isn't a huge deal but it adds to the experience. All in all it was not the worst mexican food ever it just didnt meet the standard that has been set by the south phoneix classics which are Carolina's, Poncho's, and Rito's.

    One of those "hole in the wall" places you will drive right by if you don't know whats inside. No, the food isn't to die for, but its very good, especially the tortas (flat bread sandwich), and these are HUGE sandwiches for the price. All the portions are large, and prices are extraordinary. They have football (NFL) games on during the season, and have a nice, again inexpensive, happy hour. So it was always nice to stop in for a couple margaritas and eat chips n' salsa while we watched the games. The salsa isn't great, but they provide a green and red in separate containers which is nice. And the tortillas are not the best either, I don't know why they don't purchase from the tortilla factory right down the road, those are awesome! Service is friendly, they always fill our glasses up without us noticing, but can sometimes be slow if its busy.

    As usual consistently delicious and super friendly. Had the queso fundido con chorizo.. just awesome! Melty goodness with bits of chorizo thrown on top.. the flour tortillas I think are made in the back because they are so tender and delicious.. also had the Swiss Enchiladas.. dynamite! Tender shredded beef laid into corn tortillas covered in green sauce and cheese.. yum! Also they make wonderful refried beans.. you cant go wrong.. real deal Mexican food here!

    Had breakfast here with my hubby this morning ( we were going to red eagle but its closed on Sun) the place was big and clean and the service was attentive and friendly. I had the huevos rancheros and they were just OK , I also ordered some chicken rolled tacos with Guac and they were really good, husband had chorizo and eggs and he liked them. we had a bloody Mary with a corona chaser as it was after ten and the Mary was decent and the beer frosty cold and cheep less the three bucks. we live in Arrowhead so it's a bit of a drive but next time were in the area I'm sure we will stop for lunch they have a huge menu that looked really good.

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.
