    We periodically make trips to Indianola primarily for Theisen's and always stay in the area for lunch. This last trip, we decided to try out La Casa as the parking lot is always full when we pass by. It has to be good with that many cars! It was rather busy inside but they quickly cleaned a table and seated us. The place was bustling with people. The chips and salsa were nothing spectacular. Since it was lunch, we stuck to that menu. My husband had the Burrito California and I had the Chicken Chimichanga. Both were large and delicious. I loved the taste of the chicken filling and peppers inside mine. My husband's burrito was massive and I was surprised he could finish it. We will make more trips to La Casa in the future.

    For mid-west Mexican chow its do-able, and the key word is mid-west where anything in a tortilla is considered Mexican. Unremarkable but stomach able. Not to say I know Mexican like a chef, however living on the west coast allows for some flexibility in this review, along for my love of Churros, Margaritas, and a well made Vampiro Taco. The prices are good the refried beans are canned and the portions are generous. They do have a slamming drink special on margaritas, so if your in town on the right day do not hesitate to stop by. Just be sure to take a cab, as the drinks will surely keep coming.

    I enjoy this place...especially given its location in a smaller town...I think it's a pretty great dining option. Quite authentic Mexican food with a large menu to choose from. Pork, grilled items, beef, chicken and even seafood. I really enjoyed my carne azada, their Tomales were exceptional. Good size portions presented handsomely. Full well stocked bar. This place seems busy - very busy at all times...which speaks well for it when I know many other local establishments are not nearly as busy. My only complaint might be that service can be a little cold and robotic. But the food will bring me back.

    I've become a local (of sorts) and am something of a foodie. La Casa is one of the best restaurants in the town, and is comparable to other good mexi restaurants in bigger towns and cities. I lived in Southern California and will go so far as to say it's comparable to fare I had out there. It's kid-friendly, and you can still get a cold beer (Dos Equis!) or a great margarita at a really good price. I've come to know the wait staff, and a couple know that when I come in with my boys, we need queso dip with chorizo right along with our chips and salsa. I appreciate that kind of memory and service. I can't say enough good things about this place. Nice outdoor area, lots of seating, clean, fast service, typically short waits, and everything on the menu that I've tried, I've enjoyed.

    We came with a group of around thirty people. They sat us down fast and service was great. They served us food fast and the appetizer chips and salsa was amazing!!

    I go here often. Great food, good lunch specials ($4.50-$6.99). Favorite thing on menu is the California Burrito. Service is the only issue. Multiple times I have gone and the service was slow or nearly non-existent. Quality of service is on and off, as I went the other day and the service was fantastic. Despite the questionable service, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    My favorite Mexican food in central Iowa. I have tried several places and keep coming back to La Casa. Get the food quick and hot.

    YUMMY!!! I went here the day after my 21st bday with my Older Brother. I must say it cured and got rid off all the poisons I injected into my body the day before. I'd say that this is the BEST Mexican Restaurant in Iowa, hands down. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because of the way it made me get rid of the poison's "Alcohol" then again what more can you expect from a Mexican restaurant I came again when I was sober and got the full affect of it, and I must say that it tasted even better the 2nd time around. I'd drive all the way down from Webster City IA "hour and a half away" just to eat here.

    La casa is a Decent Mexican Restaurant in Indianola. The food is alright, not the most amazing, and the servers never seem to miss bringing new things of chips and salsa to your table whenever you run out. The best part about this restaurant is the 2 for 1 margarita day. They are awesome. The place seems to get pretty busy then too. My recommendation is to get the steak burrito when you're here. It's delicious.

    I was really surprised that Iowa has a mexican restaurant this good. It's much better than 3 Margaritas here in Colorado! The service was alright and the food was above average.

    It is 1 of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to in Iowa or any other state and it's a great place to bring the family or if you're just out with friends the waiters are always there around if you need something extra

    So I'd normally give this place 3.5 or 4 stars, but in Indianola this place gets 1,000 stars. Surprisingly good mexican food, great service, reasonably priced. Hands down the place you should eat at in Indianola Iowa.

    Typical Mexican cuisine found in most Midwest Iowa towns. The facility was very clean and provided a great atmosphere. The food was very good, provided it does not compare to Southern California and genuine Mexican cuisine (I've spent time in Mexico City and Puebla) the beans were much too runny, almost like soup. My biggest turnoff with this establishment was its poor service. Nobody greeted me or seated me upon entering, I awkwardly stood in the entrance for quite some time and I reached out to three different waiters until one actually sat me down. None of the servers looked like they cared about the customers and they often looked annoyed when serving. They took a long time to approach me for my order as well as my check in the end. While the restaurant provides a nice atmosphere and the food is at par with most Americanised Mexican restaurants, the service was lousy and I don't plan on eating there again.

    To begin with, let me tell you a little about me. I was born, raised and still live in southern California. I work in East LA, the heart of LA's Mexican community. I've been to Mexico a dozen times. I'm a total foodie. And this is some of the BEST Mexican food I've ever had. The chips and salsa were good, the margaritas solid, but the food was outstanding! I had the chicken chiles rellenos; my husband has the chile verde. I was worried they wouldn't use fresh chiles (my own personal unfounded Midwest prejudices), but was happy to see big gorgeous fresh poblanos stuffed with a perfectly seasoned chicken and cheese mixture, very lightly battered and fried. I love rellenos, but often find the chiles lost in the batter. Here the chiles were the star the way they should be. My husband (who grew up in New Mexico) was equally enthusiastic about his chile verde. The pork was seared crisp on the edges and tender throughout. The sauce was rich and fresh. Just the right balance of heat with an undercurrent of tartness. Overall a fabulous meal. We'll never again come visit our Indianola family without a visit to La Casa.

    I've been to Casa a handful of times and would love to write a better review but after my last experience there, I can't recommend it to anyone. The service on my last visit was probably the worst service I've ever experienced in a restaurant. We had to get up and go to the bar numerous times to get items and service we requested. No one came to take our order until we went and got someone. No one brought us our drinks until we got up and asked. No one brought us the extra items like glasses and napkins unless we got up and got it for ourselves. It was absolutely ridiculous. If that wasn't enough, there were more problems. I ordered a vegetarian selection that, according to the menu, didn't come with salad. I ordered a side salad to compensate for this, but when my vegetarian plate came--there was a salad! I explained to the waiter that the included salad wasn't on the menu, so since there were now two salads, I obviously didn't need the side one and he took the plate away. When I went to pay my bill, the side salad hadn't been removed from the total. I told the cashier what had happened and he told me that since they had made the salad it was just going to be wasted and that I'd have to pay for it anyways. Inexcusable, in my opinion. If you want to take a gamble here, go for it. The food itself is very tasty but truthfully, I'm not into being treated like a crappy customer. If you want my money, you need to work for it. That includes ACTUALLY doing your job and waiting on our table.

    Authentic Mexican food with loads of flavor! This place is a diamond in the rough just because it is outside of Des Moines 20 miles or so. I ordered the Burrito Deluxe with chicken and I was very pleased. The chicken was seasoned and tender the burrito was topped with heaps of lettuce, tomato (I did not have the tomato because I ordered it without but I did see it on other plates that went by). Sides of beans and rice were prepared perfectly and tasted great. I asked the server for a side of hot sauce, in most places around here I have just gotten a side of salsa, but at La Casa he brought out a cup of some green sauce that was made in house. It definately took my meal to the next level of heat...Just the way I like it! Service was good too. They were packed for a Tuesday night with no real specials to speak of, so I guess it goes to show that people will come if the food is good. We will definately make the trip to Indianola to eat here again! Though we did notice on the menu they have a location in Johnston named the El Mariachi that might be closer. Hopefully their food is just as good....Stay tuned for that review soon :)

    Ate here last week and had a decent meal. It is definitely not the best i have had but it is cheap, fast, and will fill you up. Starting with the chips and salsa, I am not a fan. Loads of cilantro, of which i am not a fan. The margaritas are delicious, as was my date's meal. Basically, stick to something you know you like and you will not go wrong. Also the wait staff was fine.

    I like to go to La Casa whenever I am visiting IA from CA. La Casa delivers great Mexican food with hearty portions, and fast, friendly service. Their chips and salsa are homemade and they have many options on their menu, including vegetarian/vegan choices. I had the veggie fajitas the last time I was there and they were outstanding! Highly recommend.

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.
