We went back again 3 weeks later and the food and ambiance did not fail us. It was a wonderful dinner with our dear friends in a wonderful restaurant with great German food entrees. I don't usually clean my plate but the Jager Schnitzel dinner and Rum cake for dessert was too good to be true! I15930 N Oracle. Catalina 520-638-8276. Make reservation read more

Just made the drive from Tucson to get German food in Catalina. Loved this very clean and bright little restaurant. The menu covered all the expected German foods. We had schnitzel, jaeger schnitzel, spaetzle, red cabbage, marinated salad and German beer. Dessert was rum cake and a cloud light apple cake called struzzle. Not cheap but worth both the long drive and every cent we paid. Much closer than those nasty German places in sierra vista! read more

We heard about this odd combination "German Mexican" restaurant in Catalina AZ. Well WTF let's check it out. What an amazing experience. Jose and his wife have poured their hearts into this place and you can FEEL it and TASTE it! We all ordered German food (including my German GF) and everything was great. The hospitality by Jose was spectacular while his wife worked her magic in the kitchen. Do yourself a favor and stop by this hidden gem, you won't regret it. read more

We had such a wonderful experience here! The food was absolutely delicious--authentic, flavorful, and made with real care. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and incredibly personable, which made the meal feel even more special. It's a rare find to have both great food and such genuine hospitality. Highly recommend this German gem in Catalina! read more

If you want to get totally ignored, this is the place for you. Stopped in for dinner at 5pm and there were two other tables occupied. Sat for 20 minutes, during which time the owner walked past us multiple times. He was waiting tables and absolutely refused to acknowledge us. Our friends tried to get his attention, but he stayed in the back of the house. One of the other tables was getting upset by the lack of service. After 10 more minutes,, we walked across the parking lot to Bubb's Grub and enjoyed the great food and service. Having owned a restaurant, in Los Angeles, for 30 years, I cannot understand the absolute apathy in which the owner treats his customers...... Never again. read more

It is a German restaurant now as they changed over. Same owners. I think they are still in the learning stage. I had the pea soup. 16.00 is a bit overpriced as is many of the other items, The food was OK not great. Not sure we will be back. read more

Casa Ramirez Mexican Food - Schnitzel Dinner! Delicious - German Near Me - Catalina, Arizona

Best family Mexican restaurant in the Oracle AZ area, food is always good and served hot! Remember this is a family restaurant, No alcohol sales but, bring your own. Service is always good. The building is old but clean. This is not a place to take a "date" to impress someone unless your date is happy to have great food at fabulous prices. read more

They used to let you bring your pet dog into the restaurant which is illegal against the rules and the law! I wanted to go there for dinner the other day with my service dog because I'm handicap and they refused me. I told them that its against the ADA rules of the government and its also the law. you cannot refuse anyone with a registered service dog. they didn't care! read more

Service was very poor. Felt ignored when waiting for the bill. Finally had to walk up to the counter. My sauerbraten was terribly dry with a small amount of rotkohl but ample spatzle. This is the second time we've experienced this. The waitress tried to convince me that the Apple Strudel dessert was accurate when all it was was a piece of cake with some apples on it. Having lived in Germany, I do know what apple strudel should be. One time we even walked out after waiting over a half hour for our food. They said it was okay since the food (Mexican this time) wasn't ready yet anyway! read more

So sorry, but this has bothered me for a day. The owners are lovely people. The atmosphere is cordial. The restaurant is clean. The food tastes good. I will not spend my gasoline to drive from my home in Tucson to go back. I ordered Chile rojo (chili rojo). The quantity of entree (the chili) was sparse on the plate. I had perhaps 3 one inch cubes of beef, maybe 5 one-half cubes of beef, and the rest was cubes of potato. Hey, I put potato in my tacos sometimes. I don't mind that. What I DO mind is the lack of meat. If they were low on the entree, they should have told me and suggested that I select something else. I support local businesses, so I feel sad to post this review. Adiós, Casa Ramirez. read more

food and service are excellent bit pricey, but worth every penny short drive from tucson the desserts are great

Food was delicious. Served in a timely matter. Staff was very professional. Clean environment. Greeted us at the door when walking in. Definitely a must place to eat. read more

The placed smelled like disinfectant. The ladies bathroom door was broken. The cheese nachos was flavorless. What Mexican restaurant doesn't serve salsa and chips? We left full plates of food. The owner/ manager walk over and came to us and said is there a problem?? He was really defensive. ZERO stars read more

Great local restaurant serving Mexican and German Food! Been hoping for a German Restaurant to open up somewhere in the Tucson area and I'm glad to have found Casa Ramirez! The day I went for lunch (day before Thanksgiving) I was expecting it to be busy but to my surprise it wasn't. I was immediately greeted by the owner and seated. I ordered the Jager Schnitzel with spaetzle and two Hoffbrau Larger Beers. While waiting for my meal I looked around and enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a nice mix representing both Mexican and German and nice German music was playing in the background. The food is made fresh so it takes some time to cook and arrive at your table. My Schnitzel was cooked to perfection and the spaetzle was tender and tasty with the Jager sauce on top. The prices for the German food are slightly pricey but well worth the price especially seeing how this is the only place within 80+ miles serving German food. I highly recommend Casa Ramirez for their tasty German Dishes! read more

A friend had mentioned German food and I asked WHERE ??? So we 3 jumped into my car and headed North for a good meal. 2 JagerSchnitzel Dinners with sides of Red Cabbage, Rouladen Dinner with spatzle and 2 chocolate cakes & 3 waters. The owners were very hospitable and we enjoyed our meal and chatting with them made a nice evening worth the drive from Tucson. read more

Excellent German food served on German time. If you're not in a rush, and want authentic in-house German cuisine, this is the place. They also serve Mexican food which is their main fair and looks great, but we haven't tried that yet. Pleasant atmosphere and light background music. The owner even stopped by our table to ask us about our experience and chatted us up. We're going back soon and bringing our German friends with us! read more

Dinner last night was amazing! I had the taco salad with shredded chicken. My wife had nachos. Both were delicious and robust portions. Our server Zoe was delightful, attentive, and really made sure we had a great experience. The owner is a US Army veteran, and I look for veteran owned businesses. Highly recommend read more

We were out shopping and saw this newish restaurant, I gather they've been open about 3-4 months. We were there right as they opened and interior was SPOTLESS & had a lovely light feeling, lots of white, which was a refreshing break from the standard Mexican colors. The owner was there, Mr. Ramirez was gracious and easy going. We ordered two combos, 1 beef taco trio - they were cool and let me do ground on 2 and shredded on the other. Hubs ordered the combo with Chile Relleno & Picadillo. He loved his, mine was basic but fresh and clearly homemade. Loved the fresh chips, the variety of homemade salsas and the sides of beans and rice were simple & tasty. We heard that they've got Schnitzel on, I think, Weekends? The owner lived in Germany for 9 years and I am looking forward to some schnitzel with German sides (kuchen!). Service was relaxed and we enjoyed our food and the fun of meeting the small business owner who works the business, with his co-owner/wife. All in all, a solid new choice for Mexican food in the Catalina area (Near Golden Goose). Also, heard they've got music every couple weeks but the schedule isn't set. read more

Tried the Mexican food. They give you a small bowl of chips and a smaller bowl of salsa. It's not enough salsa for the chips let alone your meal. When you ask for more salsa it's an extra charge for a thimble full of it. The food has very little spice and flavor. Should have been our first sign when no one else in the place. Avoid it. read more

The service is nice and attentive however that's the only nice thing I can say. Mexican entrees were blah, the portions a bit on the smaller side given the prices. Sad to say, I wouldn't recommend. read more

Chile Colorado was terrible. Just a few pieces of meat and fat. Potatoes chunks and a very small portion of rice.

Casa Ramirez has excellent food and service with a wide variety of food and drink selections.

What a wonderful, delicious restaurant, just by chance we stopped in and received not only excellent service, but all authentically made Mexican food that was made on site, fresh tacos, guacamole and chips, salsa, etc.. They not only have Mexican but also German Food, what a unique place. Plan on going back to try the German Food next. read more

The schnitzel and spaitzl are both really really good. Mexican fod is meh. Only 3 stars for the service, which is awful. Been there 3 times - all 3 times took forever. Hire a professional waitperson (or two), please!! read more

Saturday night ate here and had the jaeger schnitzel and roulade and they were both absolutely delicious! Dessert was the apple strudel also delicious. Service was outstanding. German options are now available every night along with the Mexican food. Give it a try, we'll be back! read more

You may think of Casa Ramirez as a Mexican food restaurant in Catalina, but did you know they have a great German menu. Jose's wife learn learned how to cook German food when they lived in Germany, and it is fantastic. We gave it a try last night and both parties had the Jagerschnitzel MIT Spätzle. It was outstanding. All homemade including some great German desserts. Give them a try. They serve this German menu all the days they are open from Tuesday thru Saturday. Jose even stopped at our table and gave us the history. read more

Casa Ramirez Mexican Food - German Menu - German Near Me - Catalina, Arizona

German Food - I Forgot how good it tastes! That is why we were so intrigued by Casa Ramirez offering German Food on Saturday night. WAIT! Before you say German food in a Mexican Restaurant - no way, understand the owners learned to cook German when they were stationed in Germany. Currently, German food is only served on Saturdays. We went with another couple, this past Saturday evening. We arrived during happy hour. The other couple had Margaritas and I had a beer. Yes, they have a few German beers. We all ordered a German dinner which consisted of a German pickled salad, Jaeger Schnitzel and dessert. We all enjoyed the salad which had a number of different vegetables pickled just enough so that the vegetable flavor wasn't lost. It had cucumbers, red cabbage, beets, and carrots. Then the Schnitzel came and was worth waiting for. The pork cutlet was very tender, the breading was perfect, not so thick that it was only bread, not so thin that it was absent. The breading is essential to help hold the sauce which is very tasty. It is a mushroom cream sauce that works perfectly with the pork flavors. (NOTE: The schnitzel is also available without sauce) Finally, dessert. The desserts are homemade. Two of us had Rum Cake and two had Plum Cake. Note the Plum Cake is a seasonal dish. The desserts are to die for. We all felt the meal was excellent. read more

Service was great! The German dishes and dessert were delicious! Authentic as well! Highly recommend it!

We wanted something different, with an European flair, so stopped in last week for lunch. The schnitzel with mushroom sauce was exquisite! My friend, who is European, stated that it was the best meal she'd had in ten years. We are going back soon to try the sauerbraten, and don't forget to order a side of the red cabbage. read more

Don't know aboutt the Mexican food but the Jagerschnitzal dinner was great. We will go back. It was as good as any we have ever had. Nice to have an alternative to Mexican food north of Tangerine Rd. read more

Great tacos and tostadas!! The carne asada burrito was also awesome Best homemade tortilla chips around as well

Went when it first opened and they didn't have it together yet. Poor service and tepid food. Hoping it steps it up.

I went by for lunch today and to finally try Casa Ramirez. I was very happy with my experience. The owner and staff were cheerful and professional. The waitress took my drink order right away, then brought it salsa and fresh-made, warm tortilla chips. You have a choice of mild or hot salsa.The mild salsa had a little bit of warmth (spicy) but not too much. Based on recommendations from the waitress and the owner, I ordered the taco salad. I chose the ground beef over the chicken since I prefer ground beef. The taco salad came in a house-made shell/bowl that was nicely crisp and not greasy. Inside they layered refried beans, rice, lettuce, sauteed bell peppers (red, orange and yellow), their ground beef taco meat, cheese, tomatoes, sliced black olives, sour cream, guacamole and decorated with some thinly sliced jalapenos (see photo). The taco meat was nicely seasoned, not greasy and I especially loved the addition of the bell peppers to the salad. I'm not a dainty eater and my stomach was definitely empty when I started eating (no breakfast this morning) but I couldn't finish the whole thing, so I feel like the portion size was generous. This is now my favorite taco salad and I look forward to eating here again! Thank you again for a lovely meal! read more
