Had a great lunch with four friends, and we all cleaned our plates. The restaurant is a place of beautiful architecture and ambiance. The service and food is also above expectation. Fine dinners/lunches of Mexican food in Granite Bay area of Roseville. I had a enchilada with mole with sides of spanish rice and black beans. The mole was some of the best I have ever had, and ai live near a large bario in Sacramento. I will be back again without hesitation, and enjoy the mole and space. read more

Casa de Lago in Granite Bay has officially stayed undefeated with me. I've been here a few times over the years with old friends, and this time I met up with a friend for dinner--and I'm happy to report the food still came through exactly how I remembered. Nothing hurts more than going back to a place you used to love and finding out it fell off. Not here. They're still holding the line. This time we both went the fajita route because when the move is obvious, you don't overthink it. I had the chicken and steak fajitas, and my friend got hers with shrimp. And when those plates came out sizzling? Ohhh yeah. That sound alone should legally count as a love language. Heads turn, conversations pause, and suddenly everybody in the restaurant starts questioning their own order. Before we even got to that though, the hospitality started strong. Walked in and got greeted right away--no awkward standing around, no "is anyone working the front?" moment, just straight to being seated. That kind of smooth welcome always sets the tone, and they nailed it. Drinks came out quick, chips and salsa hit the table fast, and let me tell you... those chips and salsa were exactly what they needed to be. Not just filler while you wait. No, these had me acting like I hadn't eaten all day. We had margaritas, and I also had a double shot of tequila to sip on--because apparently I've evolved and learned that tequila doesn't always have to arrive with poor decisions and blurry memories. Growth. The food was excellent, the service stayed on point, and the staff kept checking in just enough to make us feel taken care of without hovering like they were monitoring a science experiment. That balance matters. The restaurant was clean, the bathrooms were clean, parking was close, and the whole experience just felt easy from start to finish. That's really what makes a place stand out--when the food is great, the service is warm, and the whole night just flows without effort. In all, Casa de Lago delivered exactly what I hoped it would: Great food. Great service. Great vibes. No notes. Will I be back? Absolutely. The fajitas have already started calling me back. read more

I echo a remark that was made in a previous review-- Nothing served in this restaurant was made in house. I swear everything was processed in a factory and then shipped here only to be heated and served. For instance, the guacamole came out of a tube; the chopped onions came out of a bag; and the flautas were frozen and deep fried. Last, the sangria was out of balance with juice and grenadine. Sent it back for a Modelo; which is probably the only thing authentically Mexican you could get served in this restaurant. Other than that, the servers running the place were lovely people. read more

I just came into the restaurant to order a to go rice and jus because I asked what the price was the manager told me he was very busy and didn't have time for me. I thought this was very unprofessional and hmm I thought I was just as important as someone who was eating in the restaurant. I left and will never come back. Terrible service! Unfortunately I still have to give a star to post my comment but truthfully they don't deserve any stars. I followed up with a phone call asking for the manager's name they said that the manager was on vacation until Friday and his name is Eli so I'm not sure who this person was that offended me and possibly lied about being the manager. Either way this was a very bad experience for me. read more

I have dinner at Casa Del Lago about once a month. If it was closer I would be there once a week. It is the best! It has never disappointed me. The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is perfect. I highly recommend it. read more

First time coming to this spot. We've been passing by for years now. We ordered the enchilada combo plate with red sauce, the soft taco pastor combo plate, and the verde enchilada combo plate. Everything was great. Service was friendly. Food came out hot and fresh. This place is clean inside, and they appear to really care about their customers (very attentive). Cannot wait to go back and try some other items off the menu. read more

I dropped into Casa Del Lago Mexican restaurant in Granite Bay, CA, for a late lunch on a lazy weekend afternoon. I've never been here before, driven by lots of times. Hubs and I enjoyed our meals. The food was tasty, flavorful. The service was top notch. The prices were reasonable. The ambiance was chill. They have a separate bar area. As I was looking at the menu, the first thing that caught my eye were the prices. I was anticipating them to be higher. But was pleasantly surprised. The one item combo was $12.99 and two item was $14.99. If you are a light eater, they sell al la carte items (hard shell tacos $5.25; enchiladas, tamales, and chile relleno $6-$8) and sides. Another thing I noticed was the diverse menu choices including a couple of vegan dishes. Lastly I noticed they sell bottled Jarritos and Mexican Coke. Wonderful that they offer non-HFCS soda options as well. Plus they offer a variety of wines, beers, cocktails, and margaritas. Hubs ordered the crispy shredded beef taco combo $12.99 and I ordered the carne asada plate $19.95. The shredded beef in the taco was delicious. It was moist but still had a wonderful crisp sear to it. It was seasoned well, packed with flavor. The taco shell was freshly fried. The carne asada was super thin. It was seasoned well. Both plates came with Spanish rice and refried beans. Yum. The complimentary chips and salsa hit the spot. The salsa is delicious; it has a sweetness and a kicky slight spiciness. read more

Came here for the first time on Cinco de Mayo. Was able to get two spots at the bar as the night was filling up quickly with reservations. The bartender was great and made the best margaritas. Chile rellano and fajitas were amazing. The restaurant was inviting and all decked out for cinco de mayo...Will be back again! read more

Phenomenal! Casa Del Lago is such a clean, beautiful restaurant. Our server was great, very swift and accommodating. We came here for Cinco de Mayo right before the bigger crowds showed up so we were lucky :) The food was delicious! We ordered the enchiladas de la casa, the sampler and the chimichanga. All were hot large portions. We will definitely be coming back again! read more

We drive quite a few times from El Dorado Hills to Roseville and came across this place and decided to give it a try. The ambience is good and staff is good. As soon as we stepped in we felt like we are on one of our vacations to Mexico. The margaritas solidified that belief :-) the drinks were totally wonderful. We got the carne asada and the El Diablo shrimp and both the dishes were delicious. Btw all the menu items looked wonderful and we will definitely want to visit the place to try more items. The 1-star deduction is because their bathrooms only have 1 stall and 1 toilet and I was waiting with my toddler for about 25-minutes for an employee who was using it while taking on the phone. read more

I stopped in on a Thursday afternoon. The inside decor was nice and everything was clean. I was seated in a booth near a family talking about their family member's will and testament. They weren't concerned about airing the poor guy's medical conditions out to other patrons, discussing things like his bowel movements, suppositories and how they were given, his wishes for his ashes, as well as about other family members who had died of such things as cancer. This of course was through no fault of the restaurant, but it did lessen my experience. I felt bad for the gentleman these women were discussing. Why don't people have more respect for their family, not to mention others who are forced to listen to what should be private matters? Anyway, my server was pleasant and prompt, quickly bringing out chips and salsa with my iced tea. The salsa was decent but the chips tasted like something I'd buy in the grocery store. I got a two item combo with a cheese enchilada and a crispy shredded beef taco. The taco was the better of the two items (especially adding salsa), although it did have a fishy taste from what I'd assume is the oil being used in the kitchen. The Spanish rice/refried beans were adequate, though I only had a few bites of each. The enchilada was really bland so I didn't finish it. It wasn't the worst, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to make a trip back. read more

Casa Del Lago - Churro sundae! So fresh and yummy! - Mexican Near Me - Granite Bay, California

Casa Del Largo is an attractive, villa-style Mexican restaurant, that offers all of your favorites in an attractive, spacious dining room, a cozy bar area, along with a comfortable outdoor patio. The bar offers many varieties of margaritas, mixed drinks and wine, which mixed with the friendly service and great cuisine makes for fine dining! The restaurant features an attractive outdoor patio, complete with a running fountain, potted plants and palm trees. Both the building and the patio offer Mexican style architecture, which lends a feeling that you might be enjoying a margarita in Cabo San Lucas, instead of Granite Bay. You enter the restaurant through a foyer and are treated to a greeter, attractive decorations and a "Specials" board that changes regularly. Since I had just "opened" the restaurant, a greeter wasn't present, and I simply made my way to the dining room in the bar area. The main dining room is off to the right of the foyer. I LOVE the full service bar dining area. Like the entire restaurant, the bar area is paved with attractive tile flooring and is squeaky clean. The bar area features a high ceiling, lots of windows and opens out to the patio. About half of the furniture in the bar area is high tables and chairs, which I absolutely adore when I dine in a bar setting. Shortly after I placed my order, my host brought out a basket of tortilla chips, a bowl of salsa and a Pacifico beer. What a great trio for an appetizer! From the "Combinations" section of the menu, I went with "Two Entrees," Mexican rice, along with refried beans. My choice of entrees were a "Chile Relleno" along with a "Soft Shell Taco." A basket of freshly baked corn tortilla chips, along with a bowl of salsa rounded out my delicious lunch. I did find it a little odd that tortillas weren't included with the meal, which is the norm at most Mexican restaurants, but I really didn't miss them. The "Soft Shell Taco" was a small, DVD-sized taco, known as Mexican "street taco," as similar tacos are sold on the streets of every city, town and village in Mexico. The taco was based on two soft corn tortillas, warm and moist, and loaded with chopped carne asada, diced white onion and chopped cilantro. A little cup of salsa picante was on the side, which made for excellent dipping. This delicious taco held together well, thanks to the two grilled corn tortillas. The combination of carne asada, diced onion and cilantro, with the corn tortillas made for a delicious taco. The bed of shredded lettuce the taco was placed on added to the beautiful presentation and the cool lettuce made for a refreshing contrast to the warm taco and relleno. It had been MONTHS since I'd had the pleasure to enjoy a "Chile Relleno," so that was my second choice of entree for today's lunch. As the menu states, it was a "Fresh fire roasted pepper stuffed with cheese, topped with sauce, pico de gallo and sprinkled with Mexican cheese. The rellano began with a medium size chili pepper, stuffed with lots of Mexican cheese and roasted to perfection. It was topped with chili sauce, pico de gallo and dusted with crumbled anjo cheese. What a combination to make for a delicious "Chile Relleno!" A generous helping of refried beans, topped with melted Mexican cheese and a single olive made for the perfect side dish. These refried were simply amazing and offered a slightly "nutty" flavor - like they were cooked in lard - but I highly doubt lard was used. Whatever the chef did to these beans made for refried beans to remember... which means the chef has talent. The Mexican rice was solidly good, but like most Mexican rice, was unremarkable, but always a staple for a well-balanced Mexican combination plate. My "Combination Plate" lunch was simply delicious! Each selection was perfectly cooked, well presented, well portioned, and all worked will together to made an amazing lunch. Truly great Gold Country dining! I miss the former Cabos Restaurant this used to be, but since Casa Del Lago has taken over, it more than makes up for it. Great food, friendly service, elegant atmosphere combine to make this restaurant a 5-star dining experience. read more

Do not eat here! Do not give them any business. They are terrible!! Terrible food, terrible customer service, terrible all the way around!!! The manager says he will get fired or has to spend his own money if they give more than 1 one ounce salsa for 2 fajita dinners to go...unbelievable that that is their justification for charging me...please do not set foot in there and please tell everyone you know not go there either!!!! read more

So many yummy dishes and outstanding service. The decor is beautiful and they have large rooms for parties. We look forward to going there again. read more

It shames me to say that during all the times we have come here, not once have I written a review to praise Casa Del Lago's food. Everything is so tasty, from the chips they serve as a starter to their delicious enchiladas. Out of all the Mexican food we've ever tried, this is the best! (Nothing tops their enchiladas) Seriously, give it a try. You won't regret it. read more

The good news is that my water never went dry. The bad news is that nothing seemed like it was made there. Everything seemed like it was from a can. The beans were for sure from a can. Everything else was pedestrian at best. In no way was this what I call Mexican food, nor was it anything like my Mom used to make. Sorry, but I won't be back. read more

An important change I didn't like was their use of "not home-made chips". To me that is a real Mexican restaurant when they serve fresh in-restautant chips. This has been going on for quite a while, When I ask about it, I always get the same answer that they are made fresh there. I have had them there for years and certainly can tell the difference. Please go back to the original chips you used to serve. Also, my rice was only luke warm. I didn't say anything, but took notice of it. My husband loved his chili relleno!!! We'll be back but would like to see a change in their chips. Thanks read more

WOW this place is AMAZING!!! This is one of the best Mexican restaurant in granite bay, definitely the most consistent without a doubt. The chips and salsa and are exceptional and the staff makes sure your basket never runs out. My favorite menu item is their two entree combo, I always get a taco whether it's a hard shell beef taco or the soft pastor taco and I always pair it with one of their delicious enchiladas. The bartender is very friendly and takes care of my family every time we walk through those doors. If you are looking for a good quality sit down Mexican restaurant this is the place you want to go. read more

Was craving Mexican food so we went here for an early lunch. They served us warm chips with a tasty salsa. This is a big restaurant with a separate bar, a typical Mexican restaurant ambiance. I ordered a crispy shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada. This plate came with rice and beans. We also ordered the breakfast machaca which was a shredded beef with bell peppers and eggs. This was on the brunch menu and it came with warm tortillas. My favorite was the machaca which I will order every time I go there from now on. The enchilada was good but the crispy taco was better. The service was fair - had to ask for napkins several times but never got them. Kind of strange because they weren't that busy during the brunch time so they could have been much more attentive. read more

I have driven by this place numerous times but never stopped, but today I did. When you first walk in, the atmosphere is very much upscale Mexican restaurant. My husband and I sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly. He asked what we wanted, I got the El Jefe Margarita and my husband got the Cadillac. The drinks were well balanced and the service continued to be amazing throughout our meal. We tried the tacos, enchiladas and small burrito. I thought the food and drinks were reasonably priced for what you got and the food was authentic. I've added this place to my rotation and can't wait to come back!! read more

I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and it was so salty, I had to send it back. I'm sure it would have been good if they hadn't put way too much salt in it. I then ordered the queso dip as my second choice and they delivered a "blob" of cheese that had the consistency of rubber cement. There was no way I could dip chips in it. I would have to cut it with a knife. I guess I'm done with this restaurant after three visits there. They can't seem to get my food correct. Servers were very nice this time though. read more

The service was good...fast and friendly enough. Fast meant my food wasn't hot. Enchiladas were barely lukewarm inside. Less impressive was the "guacamole" that was not freshly made, unless you consider opening a can or vat of premade green substance resembling guacamole. That was only a little side scoop with my entree. Maybe they use real freshly made guacamole if you order it for an appetizer. The decor of the restaurant is comfortable. read more

I really loved the food at this restaurant. I had the chicken fajitas. It was hot, fresh and the service was excellent. The prices were very reasonable. The service was a 10/10. Everything was nicely spiced, not too hot or mild. The sauces have slight sweet to it while still with a little kick. Excellent! The problem is I could not stop eating the salsa! read more
