The ordering station, the names of the food options, it was like Chipotle had been transplanted to Germany. I think the owner is American and he/she saw and opportunity and grabbed it. I was PUMPED because I love Mexican food and haven't had good Mexican in the last 5 months of living in Europe. I legit clapped with glee when I walked inside. I was that excited. I ordered a burrito bowl with brown rice, black beans, corn salsa, pico, barbacoa, sour cream, and cheese. Plus a side of tortilla chips. Pricey, but dang. So, so good. Worth it. Wish they would have channeled their Qdoba vibes by offering free guac, but I'll take good Mexican food when I can. The ingredients seemed fresh and the place was hoppin' as business folks came in for their lunch breaks.

The food quality and authenticity seemed to be better here than most Mexican restaurants in Germany as a whole. It was quite hard to find decent Mexican food while living here for 3 years, much harder than I would have thought. At least this place would help subside the craving for it for a while.

We have tried many "Mexican" restaurants in Germany and this is -- by far -- the best Mexican restaurant. We really miss Mexican food being that we're from California and you can tell by the dishes that this is true Mexican cuisine. The owners are from Mexico and if you want to level up your spice to your dish they have other spicer sauces like habanero which is difficult to find in Germany. They decorated really well and have huge painted murals and have Spanish music playing while dining, we will absolutely return the next time we're in Köln.

Casita Mexicana was an unexpected delight in Cologne with a nice vibe and a lively crowd. Cactus is a rarity on many menus in the U.S. but it was well-prepared and available in their dishes. This review is really 4.5 stars and only thing preventing the full 5 stars. Is the use of feta cheese instead of the Mexican cheeses. It gave more of an odd flavor than anything else. Overall, a fun and flavorful night.

There are bigger parties that came in after us and receiving food before us! Not only that but we ordered an appetizer that took more than 30 minutes to come and when it did finally arrive it was cold like it had been sitting the entire time. I feel like I wasted money & time, we won't be coming back here. The food was not even worth the wait to say the least.

Unbelievable! But, after having tried so many wanna-be Tex-Mex/Burrito places in CGN I gave up on…read morefinding real authentic Mexican food. Here, you will not get the whole variety of the Mexican kitchen either. But, you'll be served authentic, real tasty snacks and bar food (tacos, quesadillas, burritos etc.) of superb quality. The typical Tex-Mex cumin taste is barely noticeable, which I prefer. All other ingredients are fresh, well balanced and dips are homemade. Spices are used up to a point where you can still enjoy the original flavor with a scent of sweat on your forehead, but without ruining your taste buds. And, not to forget: this is a Mexican bar! So, there is a solid selection of Mexican and Spanish beers (including non-alcoholic beers) as well as a whole variety of different tequilas (no non-alcoholic ;) ). This unobtrusive place won my heart in a beat. I'll be back soon for round two :))

I had the green smoothie and chicken guacamole bowl. The gentleman taking my order was very helpful and friendly. I would love to try some of the other items on the menu some other time. I love the "woodsy" vibe in here too, very cozy and welcoming with nice views of the street as you enjoy your meal. Downsides: all of the sauces have sugar added so if you're avoiding added sugar as I am, opt for olive oil instead.

I was floored...it looked like a few years of high school Spanish would finally come in handy. The staff here clearly isn't "Mexican", but they sure gave the theme a good effort. I don't really know why I do it, but whenever I'm in Europe, I feel the need to try what the locals call "Mexican Food". It's never great, but it's always an adventure (sorry, Greg). Starved, after a long day of work, exhibiting at the messe, my buddy suggested that we get an appetizer. I assumed he meant kölsch (the local beer), but in reality, he wanted some nachos. I had warned him, this won't be like the nachos back home, but he responded "C'mon Ivan, how could they screw up nachos?" Chips like a bizarre cardboard, salsa like a cold tomato sauce and a greasy mess of cheese slathered all over it...yeah, maybe I just needed another beer. I followed up the nachos with some "Tacos Roastbeef". When they arrived, I was dumbfounded as there was no way to pick these tacos up. The bottom (side) of the taco was soaking in a mix of German enchilada sauce and beans--there was just no way. I ended up trying to gut it out with my fork. I desperately needed some hot sauce, but the fact is, paired with a Corona, this may have been one of the best "Mexican" meals I've ever had in Europe. _______________ Notes: In the heart of downtown (the city center), on Heumarkt...there is a lot to see here in regards to street performers, magicians and general people watching. If the weather permits and it's available, get the outdoor seating...
