Four scores and seven years ago, our forefathers ate at Casa Mexico and died due to starvation. THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE!! We sat there for over half an hour before our order was taken, and it took another hour to receive our food. (WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THERE) No one came to check on us, the food was beyond bland and disgusting. The best part of this restaurant (aside from leaving) was this god awful artwork. I wish I could give this place NO STARS! read more

Casa Mexico - Hmmmm. The artwork really highlights the Mexican cuisine; wouldn't you agree? - Mexican Near Me - Livermore, California

We wandered into this place-located around the corner in the back of the shopping center - and I'm so glad we did. Decor is authentic looking and clean. You know you're in for a good meal when the chips and salsa ROCK. I had chicken fajitas (doing the low carb thing), DH had enchiladas and kiddos had quesadillas. Everything came out a little slow but was worth the wait. My only beef is that the drinks (child's milk and iced tea) were a bit $$ but if that's the worst thing about this place - we'll take it! read more

Casa Mexico is located in our neighborhood, so we routinely ate there on a weekly basis for many years. It was our favorite local restaurant. We noticed last year things started going downhill. As an earlier reviewer noted, you feel sick with a queasy stomach the day after eating there. I recently bumped into a friend who was also a regular diner, and she told me that she and her husband stopped going there because they always got sick afterwards. I was floored when she told me because we have experienced the same thing. Is it a problem with refrigeration or different sources of food? Also, the quality just isn't what it used to be. Twice we went there with a large group (8 people) and the food was barely warm. To add insult to injury, they recently started closing on Sunday. I don't intend to return, but closing on Sunday seems like a bad business decision. I will sorely miss my neighborhood Mexican food restaurant with the best Margaritas, fresh hot chips, friendly staff, casual atmosphere and outdoor dining. Before they tented the patio you could sit out there and watch the moon come up. Now it is stuffy under the heavily tented patio. I only wish this little restaurant could return to its heyday. read more

Finally I go here! OMG..SO good...Im so glad I came. This will be our new place to go for mexican- no doubt! I can't wait to push this baby out so I can try one of their HUGE margaritas!!!! Portions were BIG, salsa was addicting, food was delicious. If I could give 6 stars, I would without thinking twice. AWESOME. read more

WARNING - this is Mexican Suburb Food! After reading the reviews, I really expected to find great authentic Mexican food. Not. This is the type of Mexican place where you get a huge gloppy plate of Mexican food - that Americans think is brilliant - but you are mostly paying $13 for the beans and rice and melted cheese. I will give credit to a salsa that is tasty. It isn't Mexican. It is Tex Mex. But with decent chunks of onion, cilantro - and spiced with cumin - it makes the American taste bud like it. But the rest. No. I don't agree. The Chile Relleno was room tempature and soggy. The sauce on top had peas and beans and all sorts of fillers. Mexican? No! Tex mex? Maybe. The Pork tamale was mostly masa - and so little pork and red sauce that I needed water. The beef enchilada was small and dry. The pulled beef was tasty - but just so little. The service was good. They have a decent selection of tequila. And even a few local wines. This may be good to locals. Or to folks who have grown up on Tex Mex and big gloppy plates. Several reviewers said this is the "best Mexcian in Livermore." That is shocking with such a large Hispanic community. I suspect there must be much better and authentic places!!!! But this is not real or that tasty! read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Casa Mexico yet. This place is amazing, and hands down THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT in Livermore. I love the chips and salsa, and the crushed ice! Food is great, HUGE portions, reasonable prices. The orange margarita is perfect. I usually get the tijuana salad - imagine a tostada shell salad, filled with shredded lettuce, choice of meat, beans, yummy salsa and sliced avocado. I also like the chile relleno or the steak picado. No matter what you choose, you'll enjoy it. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place at the recommendation of a few friends of ours. We have been going to Casa Orozco but their food and service is so inconsistent so we vowed not to return even though the decor and building are so beautiful. We went on Cinco De Mayo to Casa Mexico and still had great service and food for a holiday. We wil be returning for sure! read more

This one star is here because I had to put one down to write a review. Three of us got burritos. Mine had salsa when I said no salsa and they were cold. My wife halfway in her burrito discovered a long nasty hair in it. $13.00 for each burrito is ridiculous. I will stick to Anita's. read more

I have noticed after the local Chevy's closed, many people migrated here for some decent Mexican food. The food is adequate in flavor, but what brings it down is its greasy, cheesy, and unpleasant demeanor. Along with that, the unappetizing, unhealthy food is served at a portion that is WAY to big. Second of all, the atmosphere and decor is just old and dirty. This restaurant definitely needs and update, and so do the staff. The staff are rude and unpleasant, especially this very large woman who took our orders. I don't see why people keep coming back here, food is unappetizing (to say the least), the portions are gluttonous and expensive, and the atmosphere is cramped and filthy. THERE ARE BETTER PLACES TO EAT, PEOPLE! read more

This place definately has some competition in town. Lots of competition, yet it offers something unique to the mexican food choices. It's a sit down waiter kind of place with a patio that is pooch friendly. Large tables for big groups are always in here. Portions are large and are good enough to split between people. The sodas has crushed ice and plently of it. Big plus. Margaritas are a little weak and some things come out greasy. Still - I would always choose here over Casa O. (no offence - but I like my sit down mexican to not be overly yuppy-fied.) Just good old home cookin. read more

The first few times I went were okay. Then, I went with a large group, and OMG no. Please tell me why the meat in my taco tasted like shredded mop that had been left in the bucket for a week? Not cool. However, their enchiladas, beans and rice are pretty good. It's next to impossible to find authentic Mexican food in Livermore, and this place is probably as close as it gets (unless you go to Tequila's in Springtown...but that is another review). That's not necessarily a compliment, which you definitely know if you're a Livermore resident and know what real Mexican food tastes like. If it hadn't been for the mop-taco, I would have given the place 3 stars. Sometimes the staff can be a little aloof, but whatever. Also, make sure that they CLEARLY know what you're ordering. I ordered my enchiladas, beans and rice with A TACO ON THE SIDE, and ended up with a plate of food the size of a manhole cover...it was some combo plate that was WAY out of my league. If I hadn't been so amused, I would NOT have been amused. read more

Funky location, always busy with HUGE portions. The prices aren't cheap, but the entree's are cetainly "share-worthy". I usually get the chili relleno and chicken enchillada, the enchillada is consistantly good, but the chili relleno, every so often, just misses the mark (too greasy, too breaded). I think that one in a blue moon they have a differnent cook prep the chili rellenos, and they don't quite have the touch yet. Still delicious, but not awesome like I've come to expect. The waitstaff is pleasant and efficient, but not really warm. They're nice enough, but just busy. Food comes out quickly, as do refills for sodas, ect. Great neighborhood joint. The food, the staff and decor are all very good, not 5 star wonderful, but very good. read more

We love this place! I discovered it just over four years ago when I was pregnant and had a constant craving for authentic refried beans. The service can be iffy, but it is usually pretty good. The cancun platter is fabulous, rich and decadent. How can you not love having a plate of chorizo and eggs while sipping a grande melon margarita?! This is a great place for the kids too! Casa Mexico kicks a$$ over Casa Orozco in food and service. read more

The one star is for the amazing margarita!! Service sucked!!!! We stood by the door for at least 5 min before we were greeted!! The food was alright!! I would def. Go to Casa Orozco instead!!! I was highly disappointed!! read more

Food was OK, nothing special. The staff is very friendly. I'll agree with another review, they don't know how to wait tables, no refills on chips, waters, etc. We came in when it wasn't busy and had to wait about 20 minutes for our food. read more

My fiance and I decided to treat our future mother in laws to a meal for all their hard work and support while helping us plan our once in a life time wedding. We decided to check out Casa Mexico. We were seated right away and had a hard time deciding what to order due to their expansive menu. We finally ordered the Casa Mexico Burrito, 2 enchilada dinners, and a Fajita Quesidilla. I have to be honest and say I was kind of disappointed. I was expecting much more from the food. I can only comment on the enchilada dinner because that is what I ordered but I thought the enchiladas were bland, the beans needed more spice and the rice was dry. The family decided as a whole that the food was just mediocre. I don't know if I will be back. read more

The food is bland and not authentic, there's no way you can call this real Mexican food. The burrito was soggy with no flavor. The tacos were thrown together and the beef was bland and covered in tomato "salsa" and lettuce. You'd be better off going someplace else. read more

I went here for lunch. The service was great--lots of waiters, and all attentive. My meal was a bit on the bland side--then again, I only ordered a salad (forgot the actual name of the menu item)--essentially a taco salad, which came with lettuce, tomato, refried beans and meat of choice. I got it with chicken, and all in all, it was pretty taste-less. The chicken was pretty much just boiled and shredded. It was a lot of food, and the chips and salsa were pretty tasty, but my salad was a bit of a disappointment. It seemed like they had a lot of items on the menu--some more specialty, and others more generic. I'd like to go back and try some of the other items, and hope for less bland-ness. Many of the other items looked very promising. The price is a bit on the higher side of things. Lunch ran me $14 including a soda, which was a bit much to pay for a bland salad. The combo and dinner plates seemed to range between $13-$18 each. read more

Mediocre food with lackluster service. One star. I've been coming here with my family for about ten years now - the only reason I come here is that my family likes it. Last night was a new low. We came with a group of 12. The server took our orders by going around the table, but when he brought it out (and it was the same server), he had to call the orders out. A half a star because he was pretty responsive and split the checks into 4 groups - add a half a point. I had the pork tamale and chicken enchilada with the "coleslaw" (curtido). Even though the menu says meals come with curtido, you have to ask for it. The curtido is normally tasty, but last night it was oily and not spicy or seasoned enough (add a half a point). The masa on the tamale was tough and dense and the meat was bland. The enchilada was flavorless and the chicken tasted like it was cooked with bland enchilada sauce. Rice and refried beans were average. Not worth the money for a $11 combo plate. I will continue to avoid this place. read more

Good solid Mexican Food. We live within walking distance and the food is worth the walk. My husband usually orders the 2 Tamales Combo, the Squidlette orders the Vegetarian Burrito or Cheese Enchiladas, and Hands down I can't resist their Shredded Beef Tacos. Yummy! We all enjoy their salsa and chips. And my husband gives 2 thumbs up to their Margaritas! Unlike some of the other reviews, we have always enjoyed good service. read more

This place has great food, but only sometimes. Of the 10 or so times we've ordered pollo en crema (my favorite when they do it right), we've gotten exceptional food only twice. The rest of the time it was somewhere between mediocre and acceptable. Have never eaten in the restaurant so can't comment on service. A repeat, well... if I'm not closer to something else, maybe. read more

I called in to ask if they could make a vegan / vegetarian meal without any lard, butter, etc. I just wanted basically beans, rice, tomato, avocado, tortilla and lettuce, made without animal products. The person who took the call seemed really accommodating and willing to help, but I overheard the guy in the kitchen making fun of my order in the background. The guy on the phone assured me that the meal would accommodate my restrictions. Then when I picked up my order, my meal tasted like bacon and had lard in it. Not only is it not vegan, it's not even vegetarian. This is the first time I had tasted meat in years. I called to tell them about the mistake, and they said that the next time I come they would give me a discount, but after that experience I will not be returning. They did not offer to give me any sort of discount on the pork meal that went into the trash and I ended up having to buy a second meal that evening, so I had to pay for two dinners because of their mistake that they refused to make up to me. It was also really gross to pick up the food because there were 12+ people seated "outdoors" but actually underneath a plastic tarp with four walls. The management clearly doesn't care about covid safety or about making good on their mistakes. read more

This is my husband's favorite Mexican restaurant, and don't tell him but it's mine too! I like to use that to my advantage, saying I guess I will go but you owe me.. They have covered outdoor seating with heaters, so it gets used all year around. Not my sort of thing but people like it. Their is also a bar for all those girlie drinks is my husband gets. I haven't had everything on the menu, yet, but what I have I really enjoy! The portions are big, sometimes I take home for a lunch or just oink and eat it. I'm not Mexican so I can't go into the whole debate of "real Mexican" or not, but I can say it's great food. The dish I get most often when dining here swims in sauce, I love that, most places skimp. When I rescue the chicken from the sauce I'm reward with the excellent flavor. Cancun platter is giant, but I still don't share! The prices aren't cheap but food is worth the price. Some people expect every Mexican food to be taco bell priced, that's just silly (referring to other reviews...). Is ice something to mention in a review, well I am, it's the best! Service is awesome, and I have eaten here 4 times in the last month . Maybe because I smile and thank the server, but I bet they are just as nice to the rude grumpy. read more

The food at Casa Mexico is a bit on the bland side, which is probably why the restaurant is so popular with the gringos. I often have the shrimp cocktail for my lunch, which is full of shrimp and avocado. The chips and salsa are good as is the large margarita. The regular margarita served in a glass with a cactus stem is usually full of ice and leaves me thinking I just tried a sample, so if you're planning on a margarita, you might consider the large. Service can be slow. read more

Casa Mexico - The large margarita - Mexican Near Me - Livermore, California

TERRIBLE food. My friends and I ordered the Casa Mexico BUrrito with chicken. The burrito had absolutely no flavor what so ever. It was just a massive tortilla filled with rice beans and chicken, with no salt or anything. Even their salsa was just a watered down tomato mush. I would not recommend this if you want Mexican food, there are enough decent taquerias around to try out before resorting to this "wannabe" mexican food joint. read more

I was traveling for business and didn't feel like driving far from where I was staying. This was the closest Mexican with somewhat good reviews so I stopped by. it's located in a small shopping center and parking was easy. The people coming in seemed young and there were plenty of tables available. The food was mediocre at best. I decided to have the sopes, which was one of the specials being offered, and I asked for slight modifications (light cheese, no sour cream) and this must have thrown the cook off because when I received my order, the wrong type of meat was on it. I sent it back and the asada was not grilled. It look like it was boiled. Not good. The tortillas were ok and the guacamole and salsa were decent. The margarita was pricey for what it was.....especially with crushed ice. I'm assuming given the location, that this was the more authentic offering and could be passed off as decent. read more

Not bad...not bad at all! Im still partial to Casa Orozco, but the price, service and food was all very good. I had the cancun platter and it was almost too rich (wait...did I just say that?) I will definitely go back! Oh, and the margaritas are the bomb! read more

Very whatever. I expect more bold flavors from Mexican food. This was a little pasty and bland. The chips and salsa were very good. Service was okay, other than our waitress stopping to do math with her calculator at our table. It was very awkward. (And frankly it was like 3rd grade math.) Had fun complaining about the perspective of the murals inside, because I am an insufferable asshole. Meh. read more

Casa Mexico over on East Avenue has the best salsa I've ever had in a restaurant. I got a chimichanga and a tostada on a combo plate, both of which were very good. The rice is pretty standard, but the refried beans they serve on the side (with that combo deal) were the first I've tasted at a restaurant that were worth eating all on their own. I highly recommend this place! read more

I've eaten at most of the Mexican establishments in Livermore and I can say with confidence that Casa Mexico is the best Mexican restaurant in town. It is a bit pricier than most, but it has to be remembered that it is an actual restaurant, not a taqueria, so the most equal comparison is with Casa Orozco. Simply put, this place blows Casa Orozco out of the water. Quality of the food and service is far superior. The food doesn't have that cheap refried beans taste that Casa Orozco seems to love and it has a natural Mexican taste and style. If your world of Mexican food extends only as far as Casa Orozco, I urge you to broaden your horizons and try out Casa Mexico... it is simply the better restaurant. read more

I came here on a whim after being in Livermore for a show. No problem getting seated, the place was pretty empty this Sunday night around 8PM. Everything was fine until they brought me my food, which one of the servers brings and places at the edge of my table, nowhere near close to me. Without saying a word, he walks away. So I go to move the plate towards me and I get burned by the scorching hot plate! The server then proceeded to give me the stink eye from across the room for the rest of my stay. Food wasn't bad, but that service was nothing short of a nightmare. read more

I used to love this place but the last two times I've been here were very disappointing. The first disappointment was that my food was cold. Cold food does not taste good unless it's ice cream! That was about a month ago. Then about a week ago my friend and I went there because we really enjoy their chile rellenos, Welllll---I don't know what they did but the chile rellenos were inedible! I asked the manager to explain why the chiles were brownish red on the inside and smelled vinegary. He said perhaps they were overcooked. He brought me a "new" one and it was just as bad as the first one. The chile had no cheese in the inside, the outer rim of it was crusty, and it tasted spoiled. Neither my friend nor I ate ours and did not take it to go. We did take rice, beans and enchiladas home with us that we had not finished. The manager saw that we did not eat them at all and didn't adjust the bill one penny. Now they've lost our business and we drove all the way from Castro Valley for some good Mexican food...got crap instead. Another one bites the dust................ read more

Went In for dinner, and was pleased with the meal. The tamales and the Chile rellano was very good. The price was very good for the meal I received. Reasonable prices for bottled beer, which was good and cold. The rice was a little crunchy. But the beans were good. Service was fair, but the waitress was very pleasant to interact with. I will go back there again. read more

Best Mexican Food in Livermore!

The best food, service, and drinks. We go their on a semi-weekly basis, it's become a ritual because the food is so good. The staff is awesome, and the service is quick. Try the 'Cadillac' Margaritas, just bring a dedicated driver...They are strong and well worth the money! BTW: For those Casa Orozco fans, give this place a try. The food has much more flavor, service is better, and the atmosphere is cozy. I'll never go back to CO for Mexican food. read more

We went here tonight for dinner because my mom wanted to try it. It was a super hot day, so I don't know how upset I can be that it wasn't very cool inside the restaurant. Our server seemed nice and meant well, but he spoke so softly I could barely hear him. Plus it took at least 10 minutes from when we had our order ready to go to come back to us (our menus sat closed at the end of the table - a clear sign, right?) The food was pretty good. I had the cheese enchalada plate, which comes with beans & rice. The beans & rice were VERY good. The enchalada was okay. My problem with it was that the inside of it just was almost room temperature, despite the plate being insanely hot (which a waiter should tell you when a plate is hot, especially for how hot this was!) I don't see myself going back again on my own, but I don't think I would argue if someone I was with really wanted to go here. read more

Ordered the quesadilla with pork. One side was soft and soaked in oil and the other side hard. It made it tough to eat. Wasn't terrible but wasn't great either. Wait staff was friendly and the order came out quickly so there is that. read more

This is a great little Mexican Restaurant, which is walking distance for me... a big plus! The food is straight up good Mexican... and the portions are great. you definitely get what you pay for here, and you aren't breaking you wallet when you do come. The service is always acceptable... It doesn't stand out to me, but I have never had a bad experience here. There is a lot of parking in the parking lot (for those of you not walking distance). It's a great place to come when you have a Mexican food craving :) read more

Our friends suggested this place, which I did not know existed. We were hungry on a Friday night, it was 630pm, and we didn't wanna wait a long time. I'm always down for Mexican food, so we were happy to hear there was no wait. The place was pretty packed. Every table was taken except for one (and the people had just left, leaving the table open for the 4 of us). They brought out chips & salsa, which were good. The waitress was on top of her game. We didn't have to ask for anything, she just automatically brought it out (drink refills, chips, more salsa, etc). I ordered a 2 item combo of a cheese enchilada & a chicken taco. It came with a big helping of cheesy refried beans and rice. Really yummy! And it was a lot of food! My hubby ordered the Friday Special, which was carnitas. It also came with tortillas, rice & beans. Really yummy!! I'm glad we found this place. I'd probably just eat here rather than take it home, so I'm glad we have a new sit down Mexican restaurant since Los Vaqueros closed down. We'll definitely be back for more!! read more

Casa Mexico - Chicken enchilada with rice & beans. - Mexican Near Me - Livermore, California

This is a restaurant I come regularly for lunch, alone or with co-workers. The food is extremely fresh. I literally feel my body has gotten nutrition it needs after each visit. It is a rare feeling but my body won't lie about the quality of food I feed it to. It is totally opposite feeling compared to after I eat frozen food. Just like any other good places, it can get a little busy so it may take a while for the waiter to bring food or send bills. One start is reserved for this (4 stars only so). read more
