This is our go to place for Mexican food. We love everything about it. The food, the ambience, the staff. Can't say enough about the food. Just that it's delicious. Actually eating here again tonight. read more

The owner told me and my significant other to tone down our affection and we were just hugging. Very rude about it as well. Definitely could've handled it better but obviously didn't. Never going back. read more

Casa de has been my family's go-to spot for Mexican for years. The staff is super friendly, food is always great and the margaritas are super too! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND! First off the chips and salsa were terrible. You could tell the chip had been sitting there a while. The salsa was very watered down. It was basically tomato juice and water. The manager Mary was VERY rude and unprofessional. The food tasted horrible. read more

Not only was the cheese enchilada and beef taco amazing but the company as well! Mary Lou is my spirit animal! Amazing all around!

Ok, let's get one thing straight. I love Mexican food, good Rita's and service that's unbeatable. Honesty is a foremost here. Owner/manager Mary Lou is worth the visit alone. Good, delicious! Rice was some of the best we've had. Cheese Enchiladas with home made chili, "to die for." Home made tamales, same story. I'll never drive thru Waco without stopping in to see my new best friend MaryLou! I ordered a Chile relleno and when it was served, I said that's not made here. Our server Lauren immediately told Mary Lou (ML)and they got me two tamales. ML told me the rellenos were not made there and the waitress didn't realize that. She came to our table, sat down and talked to us for 15 minutes or so.Shortly we learned about the family business and I how she ended here. She is one special lady, running a fantastic business. My wife ML, ordered the two cheese enchiladas and taco w/rice a whole beans. She gives meal a 5 star meal, too. Oh, I forgot to tell you George Bush comes here for the enchiladas, too. I know why, too. Now if your not in a hurry as you drive through Waco, do yourself a favor and stop in. Treat yourself to George's enchiladas'. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for 30 years. This is our go to place when we want good Tex-Mex.Family owned and operated friendly staff and great service always!! We are never disappointed.we now take our granddaughter and she loves the queso. read more

I arrived a week early for a meeting, but meeting Mary Lou Castillo and having lunch was the highlight of my day. She is the queen of the castle and everyone is welcome. She suggested the enchiladas and they were everything She said they were. Service was fast and friendly. The food delicious. read more

Our food was completely NASTY. If you are Hispanic or you know the taste of Mexican food, DO NOT EAT HERE. The rice was even nasty

2.5 Somehow I remember the food here being a lot better. This was one of my grandparent's favorite places when I was younger and I loved their soft cheese taco My mom brought me take out from here tonight after she attended a meeting here with her high school reunion planning buddies. I had her bring me an Antonio Mexican Dinner (Taco, Chalupa, Soft Cheese Taco, 2 Enchiladas, Rice and Beans). The taco was ok. The Chalupa? Who ever heard of putting both shredded cheese and queso and guacamole and beans on a chalupa? Well, maybe, if the queso wasn't more brown than it was yellow. The queso just didn't do it for me... and that's what messed this meal up. Because not only was the queso on my chalupa, it was the main ingredient for my soft cheese taco too. And as for the enchiladas... If I wanted meat on my enchiladas I would have ordered Beef Enchiladas.. so when I order cheese enchiladas I really don't want meat in my sauce. I am giving this place the benefit of the doubt, based on many memories of eating here with my grandparents, and bumping them up 1/2 a star... hopefully it would have been better eating there and not out of a styrofoam box. read more

If you're tired of chain restaurants, the numerous taquerias #1-#30, and want a family owned delicious Mexican food place with friendly service, this is it! Seemingly always packed, and with good reason - the food is fantastic. I love their burrito plates, so delicious. I'd say they have the best Mexican rice in town. The owner Mary Lou is always really sweet, she'll make you feel right at found every time! read more

Family own which is something I try to support. Great food, great service, margaritas

We enjoyed the pork taco dinner. Only reason for 4 stars is lack of spicy heat, but still tasty! Nice servers too!

This place was horrible, the margaritas were watered down, the service was super slow. This was worst chips ad salsa Id ever tasted. The food was just ok mexican food but even if the food was better amd free I would never return read more

Casa De Castillo - Great food great service. - Mexican Near Me - Waco, Texas

Excellent food, staff, and service! You will not leave hungry. It's a little off the beaten path but well worth it.

Where do I being? Mary Lou is amazing first off. The food is always on point and is never disappointing. They margaritas are best in town! The strawberry margaritas are the best I've ever had. The wait staff are very nice and welcoming. The hostess Stephanie is great and very nice, she always had a smile on her face no matter how busy it is. read more

Great place, great people, and great food! I have been eating here for many years with friends and family and it's just a great place. Many different menu items, lots of options and a big variety of lunch specials. Would not dream of eating Mexican Food (it should always be capitalized) anywhere else. read more

I loved everything about this place. Friendly staff and EXCELLENT food. I especially liked the green sauce. I'll put that on everything!!

Everything we ordered was AMAZING! Hands down THE best Mexican food in Waco! Had the cheese enchilada dinner and my wife had the chicken fajitas, the chili sauce on the enchiladas was awesome! My wife said the fajitas are the most juiciest and flavor filled fajitas she has ever had! read more

My husband and I went by this place several times and we finally stopped by for Happy Hour. We had the best margarita, met the family, and ate nachos. They took good care of us. We had speedy, friendly service, and really good food. This is a relaxed, fun environment. Enjoy!! read more

Just ate here for the first time. Food was fantastic, service was great, very friendly and attentive waitress. Prices were good, about average. Truly my only complaint was the red sauce. Though not horrible, it seemed a bit watery and bland. Queso was on point though! I would go back again. read more

Owners & staff are very friendly & welcoming My family & I have been going there 20 yrs or so & never had a bad meal ‍

Guac is best I have had! Service was great!

Delicious hot food! The beans and rice were fantastic and the beef fajitas flavorful. The queso is lacking, but we mixed some salsa with it and promptly devoured it. We will definitely be back! read more

Such nice people, such great service, such amazing food! Do yourself a favor, sit a spell and pamper yourself to some of the best Mexican food in the Waco area. If you go home hungry, you're doing it wrong! Ask for Isabel... read more

This place was great! One of the owners greeted us when we came in the door. She had excellent recommendations and was excessively friendly and helpful(she even helped us figure out the appropriate tip). The food was excellent! We stopped because it was a convenient location but will certainly return the next time I am in town. read more

Best home cooked TexMex food in town!!! Great service, friendly staff and fantastic margaritas!!!! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed!!!! read more

I really enjoyed this place. I came in for ceviche (which was pretty good) and also found another dish I had been searching for all over. The margarita was a tad to sweet/juicy tasting but other than that it was great. Staff was welcoming and our waitress Jessica was great. Keep up the good work! read more

We just moved here from San Antonio and good Mexican food in Waco is hard to find. This place has vegan beans (they didn't realize it) and some awesome vegetarian options. The rice is chicken based but husband said it was good. I had the veggie enchiladas, refried beans and potatoes. It was wonderful. My husband had a combo plate with enchiladas, taco, queso, rice beans and loved every bit of food. The jumbo margarita was awesome. Now we know why the lot is always full. We will go back again. read more

Great mexican food! I have eaten there three times in past two months and will eat there again. The food tasted same as it did 50 years ago at the old "Italian Village".... IV near downtown. Service was also excellent! The presentation was great and there was an adequate amount of it. My only complain was the hot sauce. I thought it was a mistake, but I sure am hoping that they will adjust. Tasted OK, but like it has about 50% water added to it to weaken it down. Please fix! read more

This is our go-to dinner place. We love the food and the quiet atmosphere. Great margaritas, good, fresh food, and friendly service. Their prices are great and there's never a wait...ever. They've been in business since before I was born and it's still the Castillo family that runs it. Casa de Castillo is Waco's longest best-kept secret. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Waco and there are many to choose from. They have the best frozen Margaritas in town according to my wife. I'm more a fan of the cerveza. I usually have combination fajitas when I dine here and they are excellent. I think they have the best beef fajitas in town (very tender). I've also had their chicken flautas and enjoyed them. Their pico de gallo and shredded cheese is always fresh as well when it arrives at the table. Very economically priced and you very rarely have to wait to get a table like you might at one of the franchise Mexican restaurants. read more

Such a great Mexican restaurant! Love the atmosphere, food and service. A must stop every time we travel to Waco

Our favorite Mexican restaurant with fantastic food and great service. The owners are hands on and the food is authentic. All the staff is attentive to you and make just showing up a fun experience. read more

Amazing place! Great HOT food, comes out fresh every time. Nice relaxing atmosphere and awesome staff!

Went here last year for a company Christmas party and truthfully it was mediocre at best. My husband ordered a burrito with caso and he got a cold piece of plastic cheese on top, also he ordered a salad with ranch dressing and he got gravy instead which was really gorss when he unknowingly put it on his salad. This year we were able to convince our bosses to go to Ninfas instead, which was beyond delicious, and best believe we would rather not have a Christmas party at all than go to Casa. read more

Good food great service Tyler took care of us did a great job just got into town from huntsville al and was very tired perfect and easy

Food was good. Fast. Carne Guisada hit the spot. The owner stopped by and really explained the best items on the menu. She really cared about her customers and business. Others in our party had the enchiladas, which they also enjoyed. I would go back, the next time I am in Waco. Thanks Mary Lou. read more
