    Group pictures of the Birthday Girl

    Went to Casa Nueva for the first time to celebrate my daughter's birthday with family and friends. There were thirteen of us and we all had room. The service was attentive and patient. The food wasn't bad; mine could have been warmer, but I'm not a person who will send my food back to the kitchen. Not usually isn't a good idea. I will go again with a smaller group and try the food again, I ordered what I always order at Mexican restaurants; the enchiladas! I want to try the shrimp tacos next time. One of the guests said that they were very good. Thank you Casa Nueva we' will be back. My apologies, but I didn't get pictures of our food. I will on my next visit.

    Well this was a great return to my childhood. There was a restaurant when I was a young man called Casa Elana and it was my favorite restaurant and started my love for good Tex Mex before I even knew what that was. My uncle would often take me and tell me "stop eating all the chips...you'll get full" HA...I ate everything! So I go to see what happened to it and see it there as it pretty much always was but then realize it's now called Casa Nueva Mexican Restaurant. Curious I parked and Just walking up to that familiar front door and into the foyer brought back so many wonderful memories. Looked into the dining room....and there was the both where I loved to sit. Asked if wanted a booth or table, I decided to take a table...more comfortable at my older age. She seated me right next to my old booth which warmed my heart as all those that I created wonderful memories with are no longer with us. I ordered and just thought about all the great memories from over 45 years ago. Chips and salsa different but still so good. My meal was way better than expected and brought back more great memories. The service was 5 star as well. I so loved that lunch...more than any I have in a very long time. Name may have changed but that's it. Excellent! I find it funny how life can unexpectedly take us back to wonderful memories and the more things change...the more they stay the same.

    On Wednesday, our first stop on our Road Trip was "Casa Nueva Mexican Restaurant" to join our "Wet Your Whistle Wednesday" Group for Dinner. Nancy and I started this group 8 Years & 3 Months ago. We moved to San Angelo, TX, 3 Years ago this month. It's good to be back and see the group once again. Linda & Tom have taken over the Group keeping everyone informed on the Weekly Happenings and the Monthly Birthday Celebrations - Thank You For All You Do. We arrived a little early and visited with Maria, our Server here since the group started. It was good catching up with her. We also ordered our drinks, Miller Lite with a glass of Ice in a Frosted Mug for my Wife and I'm having a Dos Equis XX in a Frosted Mug. Soon the others started arriving and we chatted with each one catching up on what's taking place since the last time we were here. It's great seeing everyone. While we looked over the Menu we enjoyed their Fresh Chips with Red & Green Sauces they provide for everyone. Our Server is Nancy (not my wife) because Maria had to leave due to personal reasons. My Son, Daaron, arrived just as we were ordering. My Wife and I are sharing the "Casa Nueva Sampler Plater"; Combination of Nachos, Quesadillas, Flautas, BACON Wrapped Shrimp Brocheta. Chicken Diablo. Served with Chile con Queso. We have had this before but it's been some time. My Son ordered a Dos Equis XX also and "Quesa Birria": 3-Tender Braised, Falvorful Beef Birria Tacos with Monterey Cheese on Corn Tortillas. Served with Rice & Charro Beans. Orders are in and now it's time for the "W.Y.W.W." Photo Shoot. Our Friend, and Professional Photographer, David Dodd, has been taking these pictures of the group for many a year now and it only takes a couple of tries - as it did this time. When the Photo Shoot was over, we returned to our tables and enjoyed our drinks until our food arrived. Casa Nueva is always busy but the Chefs in the Kitchen always gets your food out pretty quick - and they did this time. Our 'Sampler Platter' is Huge and everything on it looks Heavenly with lots and lots of Meats all over everything. We don't know which is the Best because it all was Perfectly Prepared and full of Flavor. My Son enjoyed his Birria Tacos and we all ordered another Beer - and ate more Chips & Sauces. I LoVe their Green Sauce, it has been one of the Best around for a long time. It was great visiting with everyone and I am very happy that my Son made it over. I also brought along the W.Y.W.W. Albums I put together for our Monthly Birthday Celebrations we have had over the years. David has also sent me pictures of the Celebrations each month since we have moved - they are also in the album. Check out Casa Nueva Mexican Restaurant on Facebook and On-Line. They have many a Specials for you and a lot going on throughout the week -

    The Rainbow Rita was a hit! Food was good too, check out the daily specials. I had the chicken verde enchiladas, very delish. Happy Hour pricing reasonable enough to make me want to go back Staff was fun and handled a group of 6 rambunctious females very well!

    The food was so yummy. The service was pretty good. And the ambiance was very bright and fun. But the food was very good and a great price.

    One of my favorite authentic Mexican restaurants since I lived in Houston.everything is so fresh and delicious.

    This has been our go-to Mexican spot for 10 years. I was surprised to see I had not written a review before. We're typically in about once a month and have never had a bad experience. It's not flasyy or upscale but is comfortable, clean and very consistent. The servers are generally excellent and prompt. The menus features a pretty solid list of the standards as well as house specials. Among out favorites is the El Refu fajitas, which complement a nice mixture of grilled meat and shrimp with plenty of veggies. This gives all the flavor of fajitas without feeling completely bloated from too much meat. Their spinach enchiladas also stand out, as do the chicken Diablo and the carnitas plate. Their loaded nachos are great as a starter or an entre. Several rooms for seating, and of these the bar can be a bit noisy on a busy evening. They have a nice shared outside patio out front as well.

    Mucho dinner (we shared)

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine.

It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

She did not ask or offer any type of hot sauce or other condiments when my food was delivered to the table. Manager: this is what really cost them, tried to deny me entry because of my service dog. Said he had to call the owner because they didn't allow pets. I told the manager that it was a servive dog who was working. Then after calling the owner, still tried to talk me out of eating there. The manager and owner need to learn the laws that protect people with disabilities that require service animals. Texas Human Resources Code, Chapter 12. https://guides.sll.texas.gov/animal-law/service-animals Food: given that this was a "mexican restaurant", it lacked flavor and spice. The bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños were overly greasy and had 0 heat. My birria nachos were decent but still lacked in flavor category. The only thing that saved them from a 1 star was the fun atmosphere. Do better and learn from your mistakes.
