So far best crunchy tacos in Albuquerque! Issac our server is an absolute star. Highly recommended. read more

We placed a large catering order - 4 trays of tacos, 3 trays of enchiladas, 5 quarts each rice and beans. The food is excellent. Our complaint is that we called and specifically asked them NOT to dress the tacos so we could keep the extra trays in a warmer until needed. We asked them to deliver the cheese, lettuce and tomatoes on the side. The tacos arrived with melted cheese on them from being kept warm. We were unable to keep the tacos warm for very long. The soft corn tortillas got hard quickly. read more

Expensive. Bland. Not Authentic. Good service. This is good for those friends who want to "try" Mexican food, but don't know what Mexican food is. Per Google, they advertise "Casual spot offering traditional Mexican dishes such as tacos and burritos, plus beer and wine." And their website claims to be the "best tacos in New Mexico". The prices were insane for what we received. $4-$5 per 1 taco that is mostly tortilla and not much much filling. The pastor and fish were two of the worst tacos we tried. I couldn't even finish them because of the texture/taste. Plus, the portion sizes were TINY for the price. There was hardly any pastor meat in the actual taco. Same applies for the fish taco. It was filled with a lot of veggies and a small tiny piece of fish which was very slimy. Again, not worth it for $4-$5 per 1 taco. Service was fine, but the tacos were not good. You enter, order at the counter, and seat yourself. When a restaurant has a set up like this I expect the food to be more solid and don't have high expectations of the service. I'm just looking for good food. If you're looking for authentic Mexican street tacos - this place is not for you. If you are looking for an upgrade from Taco Bell - this place is or you. *Had to update my review with more details as I was accused of slander - this is my opinion. Again - service was fine, but these tacos, as a Mexican American, were not good. Very Americanized and again - an upgrade from Taco Bell. I had it at 2 stars, but after the response below I have decided to drop it to 1.* read more

We get the tacos here often. The puffy tacos are absolutely *chef's kiss*! The staff is always busy but kind. Delicious salsas. The only complaint I have is that the tables almost always have to be wiped down. But, it's not a deal breaker. The food and service is what matters! read more

I was craving fish tacos. So I googled where to go and decided to try casa taco. The service was disappointing, and the food was mediocre at best. I didn't want the coleslaw and asked to have a different relish of pineapple cilantro, you'd think I asked for the moon. Anyway, won't be going back. Even the soda was watered down. read more

I was lucky enough to find Casa Tacos to cater an event I had at my home. James was so helpful in assisting with menu selections and in accommodating the dietary needs of my guests. The food was a hit. The chicken tacos were delicious. People were talking about them as they were walking out the door. Order twice as many as you think you will need:). Great salsa. 10 out of 10, would use again. read more

Casa Tacos is one of those spots you're always glad you stopped at. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The tacos are packed, the salsas actually have flavor (and heat), and everything comes out hot and fast. Service is friendly and welcoming without feeling rushed, and the vibe is chill whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to eat. You can tell this is a place that cares about quality and regulars. If you're looking for solid, no-nonsense tacos that hit every time, Casa Tacos is definitely worth it. I'll be back. read more

The experience... was below subpar, if that's possible. When you are forced to place your order and pay in advance on the internet, the restaurant should ensure that it can deliver. In the past we were able to place the order over the phone, talk to a real person who could advise if there would be an extraordinary wait-time. NOW, we were forced to endure the longest wait time we have ever experienced ANYWHERE because you already had our money (which by the way was double what the same order cost us in the past); otherwise, we could have left after the 10-minute wait in the drive-up lane rather than enduring another 30-minute inside. No explanation provided, and barely an apology. That is one sleazy way to pad your pockets. We don't know what the issue was tonight or if this is simply the new business model to be expected in the future. Either way, we will think twice before considering Taco Casa again. read more

Love this place, discovered it during Covid, and I've been back multiple times. Every time it's just as good or even better. When I was in today, we realized they expanded the dining area and are opening more space to enjoy their great food. If you're looking for tacos and other Mexican dishes in Albuquerque, stop here for sure. read more

Ok bad stuff first because there isn't much. You have 2 musics playing. The one at the main section was nice 80's type pop, just have that. The second section was sound off the TVs and it mixed with the other music. The food is a bit expensive for tacos. 3 tacos with beans and rice, chile cheese fries (was a good portion), and 2 small drinks with tax and tip was $35 yeesh. The lemonade tasted like chemicals too; don't get that. The food was good, the chicken was a little dry, but hot and tasty. My wife got the brisket/green chile and she liked it. The chile fries were good with both types of chile, lots of cheese and lots of flavor. The green was quite hot; I preferred the red because of that. The food came out quick. There's lots of seating, the tables were clean. The servers were nice. They do have a drive through which we may try another time. Free refills but you have to ask. Lots of seats on the bar by the windows. Would be a nice place for a larger group. read more

Had the Shrimp tacos and they were very good. Cannot believe ABQ has not found this place yet. The new upstairs bar and outside patio are the best. Love their fresh made chips with their guacamole. read more

Sooooo I'm not sure what happened. I had a Carne Asada burrito plate, came out looking nothing like the pictures, not smothered no chile. I didn't ask for it that way but this is what I got maybe I read the menu wrong. But the person in front of me ordered the same thing as me and look at that burrito plate and then look at mine. The loaded fries are okay. The rice 5/10 and the beans 0/10 substitute those everytime. I don't know look at my pictures, that plus a drink which is like a medium size everything total was like $30. I tried to add some heat with their salsa bar and the salsa had no heat. I was expecting more from what i read about this place. Your mileage may vary. The dine in experience here is bad, seating is cramped and poor. Usually when a place looks like this the food makes up for it but not here. If you come here get take out. read more

i got cheese enchiladas and boyfriend got carne tacos and a 7k ipa. the girl who took our order did not know what a 7k was and said "side of what?" and also thought i said quesadillas i guess because they initially came out with two cheese quesadillas. i should've kept them bc when they came out with my enchiladas the cheese was not melted and they were obviously heated up for like one minute. i appreciate them trying to fix it fast but it was not great. the rice was also undercooked. bf's tacos were bland and he described it as barely edible. the green chile was good. lots of seating and self serve salsa station. i think this place has potential but they're not hitting the mark. read more

Great taco variety! They have tacos that they call puffy tacos and they are a hybrid tortilla that is hard to explain...all you need to know that it's good! The nachos are huge and delicious and made with homemade chips. I would recommend trying the green verde puffy taco it's made with beef sautéed in green chile sauce. They have a great variety of Mexican food and you can order a la carte or as a meal with red chile rice and pinto beans. read more

We stopped at Casa Taco on a cross country road trip and it did not disappoint! I did a quick search online for quick casual food spots in downtown Albuquerque since we have our cat with us in the car so we would need something quick that we can eat in the car. Casa Taco popped up as an option and had pretty good reviews so we decided to stop by. The service was quick and the tacos were tasty!! We both ordered the brisket green chile tacos which were incredibly flavorful. A must try! We also both ordered shrimp tacos and I was pleasantly surprised with how fresh and plump the shrimp were! I'm someone who loves spicy food, so adding their to-go salsa on top was the perfect addition! Lots of flavor and spice and clearly homemade. Great place for anyone driving through town looking for a lunch spot! read more

Casa Taco - Takeout order - Caterers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I would have given this place 4 stars because the food is good. However, the staff especially the lady behind the counter was despondent, inattentive and rude. She seemed to be bothered by the fact our food order was incorrect several times. She actually we believe slowed things down deliberately to add insult to injury. She needs either retraining or moved to another position. read more

Hmmmmm, I regret to say that I didn't really enjoy my most recent visit to Casa Taco. I have been there before, pre-covid. Never had any experiences like this one. The staff was kinda, just all having their own little conversations, or on their phones. The cashier was nice and all, and she greeted us but the staff came off pre-occupied. We ordered a taco plate, several ala-carte tacos along with a double order of the fried mushrooms. Our food arrived fairly quickly, missing an order of mushrooms that was still being made. We dug in....and here's how they were. * Tacos, delicious! (We ordered brisket, ground beef and chicken) * Mushrooms, were oily and kind of tough. (Might have been precooked and sitting under a heat lamp) * Rice, overcooked from sitting in the heat. (Almost broke a tooth biting down on a spoonful) * Potatoes, basic. (But at least edible after trying the rice) I recommend coming to have tacos. Only tacos. Don't bother with a plate and sides, and def don't get the fried mushrooms. I will say that the cashier offered us a new batch of rice to take home....when we opened and tried it, once home...it was still bad, undercooked, hard pieces of rice. meh. read more

Casa Taco - Taquitos and grilled taco! Beans... Are delicious - Caterers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Small and dingy restaurant... should have walked away! For the price they charge here, I had much higher expectations than what I received. If I could return my order, I would! I've honestly never been so appalled by tacos! I ordered the 2 brisket green Chile plate ($14) and an iced tea which apparently was $4+ because my total for one person was almost $20. So I was very shocked that the iced tea tastes of soap/dishwater, the rice and beans are bland and flavorless, and the tacos are soggy and small. The beans were also vastly undercooked and nearly inedible. Rice is completely bland. The meat inside the tacos does not have flavor and is very chewy. The only saving grace for me was the corn tortillas, which are very nice and crispy. Green Chile salsa was decent also, but not spicy. Overall, I will not return or order from here ever again. In a state where tacos are a common meal, I am surprised this place has survived. What a waste of $20. read more

This place is SO good. I feel it's underrated, honestly. Both times I've gone in for lunch it's a ghost town. The service is super friendly. Let's talk about the food. I've tried the chicken taquitos, chicken tacos, brisket tacos, and brisket burrito and I seriously think these might be the best burritos and tacos I've had in a long time. The meat is moist, the portions are generous, and they have family packs and tailgate party packs. I'm definitely ordering for my next family party. Highly recommend. read more

Coming from LA, I am always looking for the taste of good Mexican food that could compare to some of my favorites back home. Of all mexican places I've tried in Albuquerque, Casa Taco hits the nail right on the head. I had an asada burrito and some asada fries. The burrito was near perfect. The meat was perfectly seasoned. The guac gave the burrito a great consistency and added so much more flavor to the burrito. It came with a side of pico de Gallo, rice and beans. Everything tasted so fresh and everything was perfectly cooked. The only gripe I have with it is I wish they just put all the side stuff inside the burrito to make it that much easier to eat. Adding the pico, rice and beans inside would elevate the burrito. The asada fries were also very tasty. They were topped with cheese and green chile which gave it the perfect consistency and kick. The only thing I'd say is that the fries had somewhat of an oily taste but it wasn't overbearing like other places. The service was great and the access to the restaurant drive through was easy. I didn't go inside because I was in a rush but from the photos the interior looks neat and clean. Seriously good food for awesome prices. Give this place a whirl, I promise you won't be disappointed!! read more

This may be our new favorite taco place. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and delicious. Featured favorites for this visit were the fluffy tacos and house made chips and salsa. I'm looking forward to sampling more items on our next Taco Tuesday adventure. read more

Passing thru Albuquerque so I decided to find a taco restaurant. A great variety of apetizers, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc. I has a 2 beef taco plate that overall was good. The tacos themselves were ample in size with a lot of beef. The pico and salsa that are available so you can add were excellent. Only draw back with the tacos is the bottom of the corn shell gets soft since the meat had a lot of juice so they tend to fall apart the longer they sit. The red chille rice was good but a little dry and the beans a little bit runny. I next the two and they seemed to complement each other well. Would return to try burritos and enchiladas. read more

Went here for the first time before a Regal movie. Had the afternoon taco luncheon special and it was very good. The service was exceptional, asking if everything was ok numerous times. The only drawback is the music is played at Level 11. read more

My favorite place I got to try in New Mexico. House salsa was fresh and the perfect amount of spice. The chips were perfectly seasoned. I tried a handful of different tacos in the two times I went and all were delicious. The guac was fresh and the queso was so smokey, I don't think I've had anything like it. Overall, you'll get the most out of this place if you get three tacos and a side of chips in queso. This is the perfect place to order ahead and pick it up. read more

Casa Taco - Lunch was over $25! What a joke! - Caterers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Honestly it's the safest I've ever been on a taco Tuesday. My tacos were cold and the shells we horribly thrown together. Meat had no seasoning (pastor or asada) and there was very little in each taco. The asada tacos had so much lettuce and I love lettuce, but had about triple the amount than the meat. The rice wasn't fully cooked and the beans had no flavor at all and were both cold. Needless to say I didn't eat but two bites of my meal because I just couldn't. Two asada and one pastor taco, beans and rice $16. Way over priced and horrible experience. Sincerely, The girl why cried on taco Tuesday read more

Another Abq hole in the wall - but does it stand up to other hole in the walls we've been to. We get to the counter and place our order. The menu is full of offerings, so a decision was difficult. A little disappointed that you can't split up the 2 taco plates. So it's the Carne Asada plate and Ground Beef tacos. Plus the Chip & Dip Trio. The chips came out first. The queso was excellent, thick and loaded with chile. The guac & salsa was also above average. The tacos were delivered with rice & beans. The taco shells were fried by hand as the food is being prepared. The meat was well seasoned, albeit at the upper end of my salt tolerance. The beans were flavorful. Really close to the beans I make. A great stop for a good meal. There's plenty so going hungry isn't an option. Yep, it's another decent food hole in the wall. But somewhat on the expensive side - $45 for 2. So be prepared to pay almost restaurant prices read more

Casa Taco - the interior of a mexican restaurant - Caterers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Ordered Casa Taco on doordash last night, the service was fantastic but the food was meh. I placed the order for pickup, pulled up and was pleasantly surprised by the drive up window. It is reserved for pick ups only, which is great. It was ready when I arrived and the employee was extremely pleasant. I had an assortment of tacos (6 different kinds, a sampler platter one may say) and some rice and beans. Their chips A1, their brisket taco A1. All of the other tacos I had were just okay. Shells kind of fell apart, and the chicken and shrimp tacos were semi bland. I wanted to love them because they are a good size and fairly loaded up, but I just felt they were okay. Rice and beans were meh. Queso was okay. If you are feeling the most bang for your buck, come over to Casa Taco. BUT if you want authentic tacos and good beans, look elsewhere. read more

I changed my order at least ten times as I sat on a stool waiting over 30-minutes for my husband. The place was full of mouthwatering aromas, I was starving and he was irritatingly late! When he finally arrived he saw the word brisket and as an ever faithful Texan, he ordered the brisket taco plate. No hesitation. Well THAT irritated me! So many flavors are on that menu! Brisket, in my opinion, was just settling! But he said the brisket was delicious. I shared a chip/dip trio. The guacamole was perfect, as was the salsa.... and that queso is amazing!!! I chose two specialty tacos: the Al Pastor (very delish) and the Acapulco fish taco. The Acapulco was my favorite! That slaw on top was outstanding! And the fish was grilled perfectly, light, flaky... just yummy in every way. Next time I'll try a couple of other specialties and eventually work my way through the entire menu. I can foresee my husband sticking to the brisket. read more

Picked up dinner to go, here for the first time. My hubby got the chicken tacos. He really liked them and loved the crunchy taco shells which were still crunchy after my drive home! I got the calabacita tacos they were really good to! Both tacos came with rice and beans also good. We also ordered Guacamole and seasoned chips. Sooo goood! The Guac has cilantro so I didn't eat much of it but what I did taste was good. Service was friendly and they checked in with me while I waited and gave me updates. It was pretty busy when I was there. Overall I really enjoyed everything we ordered and will go back again for sure. read more
