I was excited to try this place because I live nearby and I see that they get a lot of business. I also checked out their decent reviews but I was disappointed when I ordered for takeout. Not only did they get my order wrong but the flavor just wasn't there.. my opinion comes from a Mexican household with authentic food read more

I don't know how this place can stay in business. This is the most awful Mexican food I've ever eaten in my life. I would not ever ever eat here again at this overpriced place that serves nothing but non-spiced boring bland gross food. read more

Ordered take out for the first time and let me tell you...HUGE difference between eating here and getting take out! We usually come here to eat and have a great experience . However, the take out was a whole different experience. Order was wrong and food was nasty cold, even though I got there before the 15 minutes they told me. Won't ever order take out here again! read more

I love Casa Gamino! The prices are cheap, you get real authentic Mexican cuisine and the service is super fast! I've been to their Inglewood and Paramount locations and they're both great, but Paramount is a bit closer to me. It's never too crowded and I'm always seated right upon entry. The service is great and the waiters/waitresses are very attentive and kind. I've only dined for dinner but with your dinner entree you get complimentary chips and salsa as well as your choice of soup or salad to start. I highly recommend getting their albondigas soup. It is delicious! Meaty and packed with flavor. The food is great and they give you very nice portions as well. I always leave with a to-go box. This is my local go-to Mexican restaurant. I love it. read more

Called my order in for my lunch time and the young lady that helped me was super sweet. Showed up to the restaurant, and she also rang me up and we conversed for a few short minutes. The food was ready to go,packaged well, and large portions were served. I got the chimichanguitas, caldo de albóndigas, and the queso fundido. The food is flavorful, hot, and I appreciate the generous servings. Utensils and plenty of chips and salsa were provided. Will definitely be back if I am ever in the area, although the Anaheim location is closer to me. read more

Love everything about this place and their food. I've been going for over 20 years. Service is great and the band on the weekends are a plus. read more

Came because a friend recommended it. I was hopping I would really enjoy the food. Sadly, this place is not for me.

My husband and I went here today and the older guy that's a waiter had the nerve to be prejudice torwards us and the Services was horrible. Not to mention I have been to this place several times before and never experienced this. read more

Our weekly go-to. The waiters are all amazing. Hostesses are always sweet and quick to seat us. Food is always amazing. Mango margs are a must!!! Weekend mariachi band js always a good vibe. read more

My daughter is a huge fan of their albondigas soup. I am too. We typically call our orders in. The food is always ready on time and piping hot when we get home. Casa Gamino has been a go- to restaurant for my whole family for years. I've spent many birthdays here. The salsa is delicious and the service is great read more

I questioned the rapid food service. Enchiladas were not hot. Cheese barely nooked from microwave? Was not a fresh meal.

This place knows how to treat their guest. They always make my parents happy and wanting us to come back again .

The chips and salsa was fresh but I ordered shrimp enchiladas plate and it was plain had no flavor all I taste was the cheese and sour cream the service was pretty slow and when I told them I was dissatisfied there response was very rude read more

Horrible place, food was awful. I ordered the diabla shrimps plate. The food arrived cold, the rice had no flavor and did not look appetizing, the shrimps were like small pre-cooked frozen, sauce were super watery and barley any flavors. Will not be returning. read more

What a great night first time here for a wedding rehearsal dinner two weeks ago. The food & drinks were great as was the service team - real pros. What made our night exceptional, all 30 of us, was the other diners who came over to investigate why we were so 'joyfully loud' ... the table next to us was celebrating a Birthday and dropped in and joined us ! Felt like a real family-type evening - lot's of fun! read more

Casa Gamino always satisfies!! Been going here for over twenty years and we won't stop!!

My family has been coming to this restaurant since my dad was a kid (he's the reason hamburgers are on the menu lol) and it's just been such a staple in my family celebrations. I thank the Casa Gamino staff for always being so kind and giving excellent service. And to the chefs, YOURE amazing! We moved to orange county and now the drive to casa gamino is about 40 mins to an hour with traffic and we STILL make the drive out there to enjoy their food! read more

Las tortillas están frías como un muerto tener mucho queso la quesadilla y es mucho tiempo va a esperar para la comida Y las tortillas llevan mucho tiempo para cocinarlo otra vez todo aquí lleva mucho tiempo en la horchata no está bien read more

Food is fire !! Been here 3 times now. Service is great and the food is really authentic. Love the house margarita no skimping on the tequila either which is a huge plus lol read more

It has very good employees all are very nice. They made a new bar in there, they have televisions where you eat and at the bar. We had my mom's 90th birthday over there and they had it outside. And they give you a certain menu. Everything turned was great! read more

BEST shrimp burrito ever! Their food is totally awesome! Frozen mango margaritas yum yum yum! I make the journey to this place and never regrets. I'm telling you to treat yourself to Casa Gamino in Paramount. read more

2 stars cause I go for the chips and salsa and its good. Buttttt the waiter dudes all need a day off or something cause they look like they hate their job. They NEVER talk nor ever come back (I've been coming for awhile like I said for chips and salsa) it's always consistently as if you're bugging them and it never gets packed so I dont know where they go. Today my husband ordered a milanesa and I thought I would finally yelp‍. Look... and its purple. read more

Casa Gamino - Mexican Near Me - Paramount, California

Casa Gamino, I would like to rename you Hell Torito...It makes sense now, why before my visit the only photos from the place were of their disposable place mat, their folded napkins and their Aztec calendar...never food. I remember when I first moved to Wrong Beach, my buddy Rudy lived locally and we'd go out and hit up some local restaurants. He had told me that he had heard good things about the bar at Casa Gamino...I told him, "bro, I've been to a couple Casa Gaminos in OC, and it's no better than Don Jose's". I talked him out of it and we ended up at Mazatlan, my favorite mariscos spot... He has since moved away, so these days I often find myself exploring the streets of Wrong Beach alone...Last night, after checking out the reviews on Yelp, I decided to give this place a chance. What was I thinking?! Is it racism or is it sound judgment that reminds you that trusting the reviews of non-Latinos on a Mexican restaurant is as cursed as asking a non-Asians about excellent Chinese food. This dilemma is how you end up at Panda Express, or in my case, Hell Torito... So I walk in alone and immediately look for the bar. Sadly it doesn't exist, so I was seated by their hostess in a booth. I kept looking around...how is there no bar/cantina area? This is Paramount!, where the city's slogan is "We've Got Shanks & Dranks!" Classy place, huh? Oh well...I'm handed a menu and look at it with the hope that the food will help balance out my already disappointing experience. A busser brings me some chips and salsa, as I look down at the menu and see that additional chips are an additional 75c. It's not much, but be aware, since other reviews call their chips bottomless...AFAIK, the only thing bottomless at Hell Torito is the kid getting his diaper changed on at a nearby booth... The chips were warm, but oily...the kinda chips that make you want to blot your lips and wipe your fingers after...the salsa, bland =( Further investigation revealed that Hell Torito has some great sounding items like albondigas, cocktels, oh...and there it was, the Molcajeta Mexicana. I immediately thought of the my magic meal at Gloria's in Downey, a $12.95 molcajete (a hot, porous, volcanic rock-like bowl) stuffed with carne asada, chicken, chorizo, cactus and cheese all boiling in its own juices. That thing steamed the entire time it was on my table and literally fed me for 3 meals. With that memory in my head, I ordered the molcajete at Hell Torito... As the table next to me talked about sex parties and peeing in the shower, I saw as they were served their meal...the guy had mole, the gal had enchiladas. It looked great! Within 10 minutes, my moclajete arrived...I immediately notice the lack of boiling juices and steam, but think, this meal is really attractive (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_s5N4p0TFz_6UPzJL8HHHA?select=B8Ozikc8iZBn35VyEFh_3Q) and "looks" way better than the molcajete at Gloria's. Sad, sad, sad how looks can be so deceiving...I learned the truth, as soon as I unwrapped the foil from my corn tortillas...these are not tortillas a mano...this isn't right at all! The meats only luke warm...the best thing in the molcajete was the cheese! Served with rice, beans and sides of guacamole and a different salsa, I had hoped to rescue this meal...no luck...Sorry Rudy, even crappy Don Jose's is way better -- I should have gone to Gloria's! _________________ Confessions of a Pocho: -- In the Chicano/Latino world, we have a word for Latinos that have lost their way (lost culture, language, etc)...they're called "Pochos", which literally translates to "spoiled fruit"...Really, what's worse than a once ripe & juicy fruit that has rotted to the point that a scavenger bird won't eat it? Nothing! The unspoken shame is quite similar to being ABC (American born Chinese) in the Chinese community. -- 1) I don't speak a lot of Spanish, not because I don't understand it, but because I'm shy/embarrassed and do not wish to destroy someone else's precious heritage. At this restaurant, it was pretty clear that I don't speak Spanish as I'd often respond in English, but the waiter spoke to me in Spanish the entire time...this isn't a complaint, but an observation as the restaurant was filled mostly by white patrons. I had asked for extra napkins, but had to correct myself and ask for servilletas instead. 2) I realize that in Paramount, you may need to offer foods that are mild enough for area whites to eat, but there must be Mexicans eating here that have the same issues that a pocho like me does...Please, add some flavor to your food! After my experience, I have zero interest in your mole... ¡Que Triste! read more

Since my last review in 2009, I've been back for lunch or dinner only a few times and only reluctantly because my friend insisted that we go here for Mexican food. There wasn't a big crowd in the dining room at the time so we were seated right away. Our waiter stopped by for our drink orders and answered a few questions. The fresh chips and salsa were brought out soon after and they are still the same quality and I ate most of it myself. This last time I ordered the vegetable burrito wet with red sauce. Surprisingly it was one of the best tasting selections I ordered from here as there was a nice balance of all of the ingredients combined... i.e.: the key word is "balanced", not drowning in melted cheese is a good thing IMO. My friend's shrimp salad wasn't the nicest presentation but what can you do with shrimp on large lettuce leaves... but the majority of the shrimp were sloppily de-veined so it didn't look very appetizing with black veins all over the shrimp. Our waiter was fine but only checked up on us once for refills before getting the check, so could have been more attentive. Restroom is still the same and could use a remodel like last year... Overall a 2.5. read more

Our waiter was nice and attentive. I definitely recommend the shrimp, Mexican pizza It was so flavorful and delicious. I felt everything on the menu was reasonably priced as well. read more

Took my parents for my mom's birthday day and it did not disappoint. Drinks and food were on point. Will definitely return for good time again. read more

The restaurant was really pretty inside. They had a mariachi band inside but it was unfortunately right next to us so we could barely talk to each other. The soup that they offer with the meal was delicious but other than that the food was bland. I am a rice fanatic and it wasn't good. My boyfriend said his beef in his enchilada tasted like fish.... probably wont be coming back. The meal was cheap so at least we didn't have to overspend. read more

Casa Gamino - Mexican Near Me - Paramount, California

What's good: The food. It was so yummy. Everything is authentic and even while it tends to be crowded at certain times, it's presented within the reasonable time frame. The ice. Y'all know what I'm talking about. They have the GOOD ICE! The tiny ones. So good. The music. The gentleman with the guitars who sing and play so lovely are truly delightful. What's not so good: The congeniality. Not exactly the friendliest establishment. I wouldn't say they are walking around with RBF, but it's just something missing in the energy. The locations: I ordered a Cadillac margarita blended. Tasted like a sprite icee. The end. read more

I've been coming here for their albondiga soup, very tasty. They have a small and a large portion. If you're craving some good albondigas you won't be disappointed. It's nice to be able to sit down and enjoy a meal in a restaurant. Also, their chips and salsa are excellent, thin and crunchy and the salsa is the bomb. I highly recommend. Gil read more

I wish I would have a picture to upload but, I forgot to take one. I was sooooo hungry. I only has the tacos and albondiga soup. Let me tell you, this freakn soup hits the spot every time. If you know of a better place, message me ! read more

This restaurant keeps getting better! Since my last review, I must have been here at least 50 times. With my boyfriend, with his family, celebrating birthdays and special occasions but nothing has made me want to write a review more now than ever after reading a few that have been left by some rather lack luster people that can't appreciate good food. First, the new bar that they added is exceptional!! My micheladas are ALWAYS made to perfection with the perfect cold modelo to tomato juice ratio (doubt they use clamato juice because of the fresh taste). The specialty margaritas are a MUST try!!! The mango is a personal fav of mine. My bf is the type of man to drink whiskey and vodka on the rocks but he actually took a liking to this jalapeño/ cucumber margarita they have. The taste is indescribable, perfect for the mixed drink connoisseur or someone suffering from a hangover that wants to keep the party going. Smooth going down with a kick at the end, just try it! Trust me! Next, since lent has been over they added fish tacos to their menu. Not your traditional taco because it isn't smothered in batter and you can taste the freshness of the grilled tilapia. They are small, the plate comes with three however and its served with rice and beans so you won't walk away feeling disgustingly full. Lastly, I ordered the shrimp cocktail. A staple, for me here at casa Gamino. Served in a plastic shell bowl you get the right amount of mix ins and they DONT skimp on the shrimp, one in every bite. It's served with crackers and they give you all the condiments to put in, which I appreciate because some days you want a little more spice. All in all this place has yet to let me down. The staff is still friendly, management always takes the time to stop by and ask about family and ask what we thought of the food. Best place to find wholesome, traditional Mexican Food. read more

My family has been coming here since this restaurant first opened in the early 1970s. The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable. My favorite margarita of all time. Great shrimp cocktail and hard shell tacos. This place has adapted well through the pandemic by creating a pleasant outdoor space. My #1 favorite and a gem if you love old school Mexican combo plates. read more

Casa Gamino is my favorite Mexican restaurant. My family and I have been coming here for years and they never disappoint. All the food here is delicious....fresh chips and salsa with every meal. When I come here I usually get the camarones Costa Azul which are shrimp stuffed with cheese and crab meat wrapped in bacon with rice and beans. Las time I was there I ordered the molcajete with shrimp and it was so much food! Two people can eat with a molcajete. It comes with rice and beans as well. The price is very reasonable and you get a lot of food. The staff here is always courteous and friendly. I really recommend the mango margarita...it's really good. read more
