My husband and I love this place. We've been coming here for over 20 years. The service is always on point and the food has tasted the same for all the years we've been going. We currently live in San diego but eat at Casa at least once per visit home. read more

What a find. I explained to a local waiting tables elsewhere the best thing about food is when it is made with love. She has been going to Casa de Lago since she was a kid, she told. Go to the one in Oakview, not Ojai, she added. I ordered to go as I was leaving Ojai and pressed for time. The waitress lingered in the kitchen, and handed me a bag as soon as it was finished. I spoke with the owner who casually mentioned he was rolling tamales in back. A gentle man who cares about his business. And, yes, the food had that feeling of love and caring just as advertised. read more

Best Mexican food in Ventura County! The service is great and the food is even better. Try a cheese enchilada, chili, relleno, or taco for sure! The salsa is amazing! Can't compare to anywhere else. Casa De Lagos is the restaurant I look forward to eating at the most when I go to the Ojai Valley. read more

Always great as usual and they serve the senior meal on a smaller plate so I didn't feel deprived and was so full

Yelp really needs a no stars option. We went in for dinner and the waiter would not take our order. He brought drinks pretty quickly then said to let him know when we were ready. What? He took the orders of three tables that came in after us before we had had enough. We asked to pay for the soda and the kid at the register stood there with a blank look on his face. Horrible service. read more

Amazing experience all around. The chips and salsa were amazing. The chips were light and not greasy at all. The spicy and mild salsa's that were brought out were also amazing. The best part is that both the chips and salsas were refilled as soon as they were getting close to empty. The water was great. The rice was fluffy and delicious- couldn't get enough. The meats that were featured in our meals had amazing flavor. Amazing service and amazing food! read more

No menu online for ordering to-go. Was told on the phone I could get one upon pick up. Chose a tostada grande to-go. No to-go menu at the restaurant like the guy said on the phone I could get. The tostada is in a fried flour tortilla bowl. That is NOT A TOSTADA!! A flat crisp corn tortilla with all the toppings is a tostada!! And they are mexican!! Looked like crap and tasted the same. Those who think this is authentic mexican food then your definition is crappy food. Worst ever!!! read more

One of my favorites when I visit Oak View. Hardest part is not eating too many chips - so I can save room for dinner. This is a true neighborhood mexican restaurant. Cant wait to come back. read more

Very nice little place in Oakview, the food was good and the margarita's were very good. we noticed that the place was very clean, from the vent's to the plant's and everything in between, yes we are fans and we will go again. read more

This restraint is great. They have killer food its made fast and is always fresh. I've eaten here many time because of there 6$ lunch special. (A Chile reahno burrito no beans no rice with shredded beef covered in green sauce ( witch its pink idk why but its fuckin killer) the waiter's are all friendly and seam to enjoy there job there I mean they do work at hands down one of the best Mexican restaurant in the ojai / oak view area. Its worth stopping buy if you have never been here. read more

Love this place drive from Ventura a couple times a month just to eat here. Dont even need to order they know what i want.

The food is excellent. The staff is always happy. The price is not bad at all. You can't go wrong stopping in Casa for a wet carne asada and their chips and salsa. read more

Just had dinner here and WOW!! Sooo good!! Just two of us on a monday night and had to wait 20 minutes for a table. Although I don't like waiting I get that it will be worth it. It was WELL worth the wait. They called our name and table was prepared already with chips and salsa. Great salsa, no complaints. Service also great, never did I wish I had something and never did I feel like I was getting interrupted too much. I ordered just a taco plate with rice and beans. Taco was good but the rice and beans, margarita and chips and salsa were ultimately my favorite. Great place and wish it were closer to home, but i'll definitely be back! read more

Very yummy food! No problems tweaking a dish and very nice wait staff!

Yesss! Love this place. Great margaritas and chilles rellenos! Authentic food, very friendly staff, and just down the road from my house. Love that o have this option for tasty Mexican food. The general manager is the man! He came by to say hello and was extremely nice to my friends and me. I recommend this place for those passing through oak view! read more

Been coming here since I was little and it never disappoints. Not very authentic, pretty gringo actually but non the less still delicious. Always friendly and attentive staff and everything's reasonably priced. read more

Well, I am an Oak View resident and have been eating as Casa de Lagos for nearly 20 yrs! One thing I can say is they're consistent. Their recipes haven't changed one bit or the portions sizes, just the prices. I love their food, but yes, it can get boring after so many years. However, they are very busy weekend nights, you can see a line of people waiting to get in, so they must be doin something right! I love the shredded beef tacos and enchiladas with verde sauce...Yum! Service is friendly and super quick too. read more

Today I was at your Casa de Lago location in Oak View at 8:00pm. Everything was good until the man serving me (mexican with black mustache) started being rude towards me and made me feel unwelcomed. I was sitting down eating my burrito I ordered, when the man serving me asked me if I needed anything else. I asked for another serving of chips. As soon as I finished my chips I asked for another serving. I noticed him hesitating a little. He came back with my chips and salsa refilled. The next thing he said to me was "Okay, now I am going to charge you for the chips". The way he said it was rude and he sounded angry. So I told him, "Then take it back. I don't want it" As I was sitting at a table reading my book he kept looking over at me waiting for me to leave. It made me feel very unwelcomed and I've been eatting there for the past 10 years. Whatever his name is, he is rude and grumpy. He either needs to leave the business or change his attitude. It would of been better if he would of told me as soon as I asked for more chips, "We charge extra for chips. Its a $1.75" But instead he waited until he was giving me my 3rd serving of chips and sounded like he was reprimanding for asking. Sorry guys, bad servers are bad for business. read more

Best place in town! Love the place, waitresses are awesome, the salsa is fresh, and the food taste great! I'm a vegetarian now always get the garden burrito they pack it with delicious fresh veggies, beans, and Rice! Always my choice! read more

Great find! One of the best little Mexican restaurants ever. Perfect margs, food, and memorable service. Enchiladas were great. The older gent that waited on us was classic. If you're up in Ojai, give this spot a go and you won't be sorry. read more

Had an amazing experience here at casa delago which happens every time that I come here service was amazing and so was the food Gwen was our server and she is amazing as well definitely will be coming back. read more

I grew up eating delicious food from casa probably once per week. When I went away to college and had the worst food ever, I constantly craved my regular burrito rancheros. I hope to keep coming here for many more years to come read more

The best place to eat in the ojai valley hands down. I have tried many of their dishes. The place has been there for thirty years and its consistently good. The service is great and the manager Joel is very welcoming and a nice host. And to top it off they don't charge to make your burrito wet! read more

Good local food, no to die for, but considering the location and your willingness to drive further to eat, this is the best it can get. Oak View is in the middle of no where. At the time I only had three choices for dinner, BBQ, this place, and Thai. I choose this place read more

Love this place...fairly authentic flavors but much of it is without the typical grease and spice. Some of my favorite salsa (the mild is deliciously flavorful without being too spicy), great chips, and every burrito my friend and I have tried there has been delicious. I'd drive from Ventura for this place even though there is plenty of decent Mexican in town. The best part is it's relatively inexpensive, especially if you're just doing take-out. The take-out process can be a little slow and frustrating though. They seem to have one designated person to do the register and sometimes that person is nowhere to be seen. So often you stand there waiting, getting in people's way, while the waitresses are just chatting with customers. I wait 3-7 minutes about 60% of the time, but it has been as much as 20..it's a risk if you're in a hurry. A lot of times my take-out is cold. They are also fairly inconsistent with seasoning; the same dish might be amazing one day and flavorless the next. Lastly, the amount of salsa they give you for take-out is stingy compared to what they give you when eating in-house. So...don't expect the smooth, streamlined speed and consistency of a chain, but the food is usually worth it. read more

Been regulars at Casa in Ojai for years. Nice casual atmosphere, outside patio dining. The chicken tacos are great!

Well, here I am on a family vacation in this sweet little jem of a town looking for something to fill my jibblets up and what fills a jibblet better than some Mexican foods. Me and my beloved family started off with the nacho appetizer plate and boy was it tastes. Even the nacho that had minimal nacho topping was delicious (a rare occurrence for any nachos). I then got to the main course, the carnitas plate. The second I put this succulent soft meat into my mouth it fell apart, as it was roasted to perfection. I had a moment of pure bliss as I enjoyed this scrumptious meal. I give Casa de Lago a 4/5 because the seating arrangements are a litte too close together personally, I don't really want to be close to another family that they judge me for getting the meat sweats from a worthy meal. Nice ambiance tho. read more

This was the best Mexican food I've had since moving to LA 3 yrs ago!!! Large portions, fast & friendly service. I wish I lived closer, I would eat here regularly!! I only wish they had blended margaritas, then it would be 5 stars. read more

Food is honestly not that great. Prices are good. The servers made me feel uncomfortable as they were not friendly at all and very short with me. She never refilled my drink after I asked for a refill. She never brought me a to go box after I asked as well. So service is not good. read more

We have a new Ventura Axxess card and what I love about the Axxess card is that there are restaurants on the card that we haven't tried or want to try. We came across Casa de Lago because of the Axxess card. My husband had the chicken fajita burrito and I had the tostada grande with asada. Both of our meals were excellent! Service was ok. Refills on drinks were really slow but maybe it was an off day for the waitress? We will definitely return! read more

Great food, Friendly staff, very reasonable prices and big portions.

I had the carne asada with beans and rice and a cheese enchilada , the food has a big portion of food that I could not eat all of it the meat was okay . I did like the rice and beans. Our waitress was wonderful always nice and helpful. The heat lamps help if you plan on eating outside if it's cold out. We got seated right away I would come back and try something else read more

Yummy, reasonably priced food. Truly atrocious decor but we usually just pick up our order to go.

We fell asleep & woke up in a panic our 2nd evening in Ojai. Many places were close to closing but Casa de Lago was open so we rushed to get there. Even with GPS, we drove in circles trying to find it! It is definitely a hole in the wall. Reflecting on our experience, I'm certain we were still half asleep. Without being able to recall too many details, I can say we enjoyed our food & didn't have any complaints. There were several regulars & carry-out'ers who made their way in. Which is always a good sign. My chicken fajita burrito was outstanding & I'd go back just for that. Not to mention, I think our bill was less than when we ate at Chick fil A. read more

The Oak View location has always been my favorite. I used to also go to the one in Ventura until it changed hands. I was always enjoyed what I've ordered weather for dine in or carry out. read more

Officially fired them and we have been going there for 20 yrs. my daughter ordered a shredded beef burrito it was disgusting and cold the chips were stale and old. I ordered to go go because I knew they would be closing in an hour and didn't want to inconvenience them I will not go back read more

This place is a staple for locals. The food is excellent and the portions are large. Only flag would be to check your phone orders as they are not always correct, but aside from that A++. read more

AMAZING food! Great service! I've been going here for years! Have tried everything on the menu and have never left dissatisfied. Atmosphere, service, price, food portions and quality are all fantastic! read more

I live in Ventura and I will seriously drive to Oak View just to get their burritos. This is the best burrito I've ever had and trust me I'm a burrito enthusiast. Fabulous job, love it! read more
