We waved as we walked in to a waiter, pointed to a seemingly available picnic table, and he waved that we were good to go, so we sat right away, at 7:45p...after that more tables opened up. Drinks: 1. Pina colada - no bueno...like a coconut ice, not pina colada. 2. Passion fruit juice with fresh mint - delicious! 3. Cherry juice drink with alcohol - wife liked it, and I thought it was good. Appetizers: 1. Beef empanadas- I thought the crust overpowered the meat and onion, but daughter and wife loved it. 2. Nachos - terrible. Chips were stale and cheese/beans covering was bare, but then they gave us additional refried beans in a little cup, and straight I thought the refried beans were delicious. 3. Baha fish tacos - phenomenal!!! Entrees: 1 Chicken fajitas: disappointing. The spicing was off, on the chicken, and the guacamole was mostly sour cream. 2. Steak fajitas: very good and way better than the chicken Service was quick and the staff knew their stuff, but it took a long time to get the bill because other tables came in.

The tacos were very good not very filling. If you are super hungry, you definitely need a side or an appetizer along with them. The salsa was very flavorful and had a nice kick. My husband enjoyed his fajitas. I tasted a piece of the chicken and it wasn't really bursting with flavor but still good. About halfway through our meal live music started to play. It was a little loud, but not too loud that we couldn't hear each other talking. Cute environment waitress was really friendly. It's somewhere I would revisit and recommend.

We chose seating outside (of course). The area is beautiful with views of the ocean and a nice breeze. There was a small pool on the other side of our table with 6 in pool loungers. Very cool. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. My husband had Tinga tacos which were so flavorful and fresh. I opted for the Birria tacos which I have never had (gasp). Omgoodness - talk about a flavor explosion! The shredded beef ribs were super tender and filled with all sorts of goodness! If you are in the area, definitely stop by for a treat!

This is the second time we've been here. Parking can sometimes be found in front. Service was…read morefriendly and professional. Pricing was about as expected. Decor is what one would expect for a Mexican style restaurant but with a few extras like a TV and radio playing in the background. We really enjoyed our experience the first time we were here so we brought a friend back with us, especially to try the churros. But first we ordered some Posole, Enchiladas, and Flautas. All were delicious and filling. They had good flavor and were nicely presented. The refried beans and guacamole that the enchiladas and flautas came with were also very good. We also ordered some churros and these were wonderfully delicious again. Really the churros here are the best I've had in PR. Very good. I would have given this place a 5 star review the first time we ate here but I missed the opportunity. This time was slightly different in that our experience felt more around a 4 star quality as the staff was a bit distracted and not as prompt. But for the most part service is good, the food is very good, and again we had a nice experience. So I awarded the 5 stars. I highly recommend Casita Mexicana. Good stuff here.

We came here for a late lunch on a Thursday. There were 9 of us (including two small children), and…read moreit was between the lunch and dinner hours so it was not busy. We were brought chips and salsa to munch on while we perused the menu. The chips were stale and definitely not fresh. I liked the salsa, but just a heads up that it's a bit spicy. The food was great other than this. Three of our party had the Tri-Juana which was a taco, burrito, and enchilada. I was told the taco shell was stale, but it was otherwise good. Three of our party had soup (I didn't get any pictures), and they said it was really good. I had the Chicken Enchiladas with Mole Poblano sauce. I thought this was incredible. The flavor was rich, and the shredded chicken was cooked just right. It came with rice and refried beans which were also delicious. Most of us had margaritas as well. Their margarita menu is huge. I had the Caribbean Rita was refreshing and hit the spot perfectly. I would definitely have this one again. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was because even though our server was very friendly, the service was incredibly slow. We'd been there for 30 minutes before we even ordered our drinks and food. Our server was visibly busy managing many other tables. I imagine the other servers had been cut due to the time of day, but it was frustrating. (That and the stale chips). The ambiance was nice, and the location right inside the mall, close to the airport, was ideal. I would definitely go back, but I would want to try another time of day to see if the negative factors from today would be better.

This is a very popular place so I recommend calling to make a reservation, especially if you plan on coming with a large group. They have one large table inside. Other than that it's 2-4 person tables (indoor and outdoor) and the counter at the bar. The tables can obviously be placed together for bigger groups. Still, make a reservation. The interior decor seems to be all over the place, but it works, creating a cool hip vibe. We started out with the queso fundido and tuna creo rolls. Both were good. I'd reorder them. I would like to note that they don't automatically serve you chips and salsa. Older reviews mention they are complimentary but newer reviews state that is no longer the case. You have to ask for them and they'll charge you. We didn't ask for them because the queso fundido comes with chips. For the main course, I had the chimichanga. I saw a photo one one with melted cheese over it (gratinado). The one I received had a creamy cilantro based sauce. It was delicious, and with crema on the side... wow. I will definitely get this again. My mom had the encebollado tacos. She could only eat two of the three that came with the order. I ate it the next day. Yum. The only disappointment were the churros. They weren't bad, just average. And after a great meal, average didn't cut it.

That said, the service was incredibly slow. We stopped in before our rum tour. Arriving at 12:30 there were only 3 other people in the restaurant (so not busy!). The setup implies that this is fast food...you order at a kiosk in the front and they call your number when ready. We waited 30 minutes for the first item to come out and then approx. 15 minutes between each of our 4 items to be delivered. So the first person in our to get their meal was finished before the last person received their food, and we were there close to an hour and a half - which nearly made us late for our 2:00 tour. I definitely recommend this place for the food if you aren't on a time crunch.
