Great food and really hits the spot after drinking! Carne asada is really good but kinda greasy. Al Pastor is on point but I'm not a fan of the crumbly corn tortilla. Quesadillas and guacamole are super tasty! Definitely get green chile on your quesadilla! I also enjoyed the jerk chicken tacos. They're a little heavy on the onions but I like that! Prices are decent and the delivery fee on DoorDash is only $1! Great place to order from if you're staying in for the night. read more

I am so excited to write this review for Casa Taco (my new favorite taco place!), buuuuut I first have to tell you how I heard about it. I was at the Verizon store on Coors with my boyfriend and sisters. We hadn't eaten lunch yet and we were starting to get the hangry feels so we asked the Verizon associate if there were any yummy places to eat nearby. Immediately his eyes lit up as the words "Casa Taco" flowed out of his mouth. He started raving about how kick ass the food is and how we NEED to try it. He also told us that there's one closer to where we live on the east side if we decide to go again and again (which he guaranteed we would). And we started looking at the menu online. Our Verizon buddy highly recommended the jerk tacos with pineapple habanero salsa, but he just kept saying how amazing the food was with the biggest smile on his face. After getting my phone set up, we were STARVING. Hangry hulk mode in full effect. We walked into Casa Taco and the experience was amazing from the get go. It was a little busy, but they took our order quickly and were so helpful and friendly! We decided on the chips and chile queso, carne asada smothered burrito, the jerk chicken tacos with habanero pineapple salsa, and I got an extra adobo chicken taco. My sisters ordered the green Chile brisket tacos and carne asada taco. The chips and queso came out first. Well actually, chips and guacamole came out first and we told the staff that we ordered queso instead. They let us keep the guacamole and brought us out a fresh queso. The guacamole was so fresh and flavorful. The queso was divine and had the perfect kick of heat to it. The chips were my fave. I prefer thick, crunchy chips over thin chips so these were totally my thing. I loved them! These tacos were AMAZEBALLS. Like, really freaking good. I'm usually pretty boujee when it comes to tacos, but I 100% approve of the tacos here. They are FULL of so many yummy flavors. It's like a party in your mouth with every bite. They aren't wimpy lame tacos whatsoever. They're big and beyond worth the price you pay for them (which is affordable af). The puffy taco shell on my chicken adobo taco was so enjoyable. I loved the jerk tacos as well! The brisket taco was much more spicy than we expected, but man, was it tastyyyy! Let's talk about the real winners, though. The sides. The red Chile Spanish rice was to die for! And I usually hate Spanish rice, but I could eat the hell out of the rice at Casa Taco. The beans were insanely tasty. They tasted like beans that my grandma would make. Ahhh everything was SO GOOD. And the natural light that shines through the restaurant made it even more delightful. We will definitely be returning! We will be trying out the San Mateo and Academy location next! read more

First, I know, service industry workers are trying. But,...Waited on hold for 15 minutes. Literally drove all the way across town, and placed my order in person while on hold. Took 30 minutes to make 6 tacos. And the place was empty. read more

First and last time at casa taco. Ordered asada quesadilla plate with a side of patatoes to go. Decided to eat in the parking lot instead of waiting. The grease was so heavy that the entire quesadilla was soggy in less than 3 minutes it also had a real cheap meat taste to it. Beans we dry and old rice wasn't bad but the side of potatoes we cold and stale. Very unhappy. read more

Had Casa Taco tonight for take out. It was delicious as usual. We had ground beef tacos, brisket tacos dinners and queso. The queso was outstanding! The staff was very good. I was listening to NPR and asked how long it would be so I could go back to car. The young man said 15 minutes. Came in after 15 minutes it was ready and given to me with a smile! We had had meals there before and one time had a 20 taco box for HH. They were so good. I have called before and our order was right on. This time I went in to order. I don't do on-line anywhere. It's our go-to place when we're craving tacos read more

Don't like it, over priced for small portions. Do not recommend. Greasy greasy quesadilla. Poor customer service at counter.

I lived the majority of my life in SoCal enjoying the Mexican food out there, but moved to Florida a few years ago and have been struggling to find even relatively decent Mexican food. However, just helped my son with a move to Albuquerque and wanted to try some Mexican food while there. Casa Taco was actually our second choice; our first choice (which has 4.5 stars) was closed for the New Year weekend. I had the brisket tacos, and they were REALLY good. I'm now back in FL and craving those tacos. While I would have no hesitation going back to Casa Taco, I am now curious as to how good the place with 4.5 stars must be. Decisions, decisions. read more

This is a LARGE case and chips. complete waste of money. You'd get a full bag before. You can't charge more and give people less. NEVER coming back here. read more

Casa Taco - Half a bag of chips and this for $8. NEVER AGAIN - Caterers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Love their food, but something is always missing. Many times you will not receive salsa when requested with ur online or delivery order. Last visit requested lemonade added to the iced tea and was not received. Also, ordered the frito pie and there wasn't any red chile in it or on it as indicated would be on the menu description. I have called after placing an order to make sure they put salsa in my order and have gotten attitude. Was told last time to put the request in the special instructions section and explained that I always do, but it many times gets left out. Seemed like I was bugging them for calling and asking. read more

Tacos!!! Yelp can take all the credit to bring me to this place, and I'm glad for it. This place is a hidden gem. I didn't realize there could be so many taco options, but now a whole new taco world has been open to me, to us, to all of New Mexico :o). Okay, sorry getting off the taco tangent... I decided I had to get a full experience of this place so what's a better thing to do than to try one of each type of taco. I had one original taco, one signature taco, and one puffy taco. The original taco I tried was a brisket taco; this taco was okay the meat was a bit tough so kinda hard to eat. The second taco I ordered was a shrimp adobo taco this taco was DElicious there were at least five big shrimp and the spices were fantastic. The third taco was a puffy carne adovada this was out of this world amazing. The puffy taco was described as a corn tortilla sopapilla, and that's exactally what it was. The carne adovada was spicy and delicious. there is so many more combonations of tacos to try so I guess I will be back for some more... read more

Ordered lunch, portions aren't that great for what you pay for. However the food is great! Salsa delicious. The reason why I give three stars is because I waited 40 mins for my order for two. But while I waited I noticed the establishment hadn't had a good clean down in awhile. The floors were sticky crumbs in every corner, dirty windows and grim just about everywhere I looked. Clean up shop guys and reconsider adjusting your prices to match your portions, the food really is good I can't knock it. read more

Great tacos! Expensive, but really good with an excellent choice of salsas, pico de gallo and sauces.

Great service, excellent fresh made food that was absolutely delicious! Small dining are that is expanding. This place is must for anyone who loves tacos. They have many other items but we are stuck on their tacos . read more

I love this place and keep going back for more. Delicious tacos. I assume the other food options are also good but I wouldn't know because I'm hooked on the tacos. Staff has been consistently friendly every time. I recommend Casa Taco. Good news- they are expanding their space so soon will be able to accommodate more diners. Carry out is an option. read more

This place is still going down hill, I'm surprised it's still open, my wife and I decided to give it ONE MORE shot but, I was disappointing again, when we first walked in they were in the middle of a serious fight in the back yelling and screaming I'm not sure what the fight was about but, they were really going at pretty good, I seriously think this place won't be open much longer, I'd say 3-5 months tops. Please avoid if you can. read more

Lots of varieties of tacos and other options too. We had 1 each of the carne asada, brisket, jerk chicken, and al pastor tacos. All very tasty, but the al pastor was the only "authentic" street taco. The appeal here is the variety of flavors and styles of tacos. What stole the show was the chips with chile con queso! Delicious, spicy cheesiness with homemade chips. I'll certainly be back, but I'll probably try something else next time. read more

Chicken Taco was good. The red chile rice was undercooked therefore chewy and disappointing. The red salsa had too much salt. Salsa verde delicious. It wasn't pretty looking but the red chile tempura mushrooms are delicious! Sadly my churro was cold, oil soaked, sugar caked, and unappetizing. Subpar, gotta pay attention to quality. read more

Ordered online. Had to go back To get guac that was "packed" Rice was undercooked... al dente is an understatement... guac was over salted... beans were sub par.. Al pastor? Dry tortillas... so dry when i tried to fold it.... It broke... First time in a yearAnd last time.. Just awful... Nachos ordered with extra beef. Got none.. chips were over cooked and tough unable to eat read more

I came in because ABQ magazine named Casa Taco as one of their top 5 nachos in the area. I pride myself on being a nacho expert. And these did not let me down. The chips seem to be made in house and have a perfect crunch. The queso is spicy and delicious with a fresh tomato and lettuce topping. Definitely coming back for these mouthwatering nachos read more

Ordered for delivery to our hotel. SO GOOOOOOOOD! We ordered: Kids Chicken Quesadilla Frito Pie Carne Asada Burrito Plate Jerk Chicken Taco Grilled Chicken Taco Kids Cheese Quesadilla First off, we ordered WAY too much. I just wanted to try everything. Jerk chicken was my husbands favorite. Frito pie was mine. I got my daughter one cheese and one chicken quesadilla in case she didn't like one... she ate both. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you want some quick tacos! Prices were good too! read more

Not often can a place get 5 stars but damn this place was good ! Hit all the notes for me , Service , Location, Price , Flavor and options ! Their eating area is a little small but they have a nice patio area on a busy street with easy access. The service was quick the prices were cheap and the portions were nice size . You can get the burritos smothered and that green sauce is so flavorful! The beans have meat so any vegetarians be wary but also it packs a punch . We were on our way to Colorado when we needed to stop for gas and decided to find a quick place to eat. The yelp reviews brought me in and I have to say they were right ! Must try ! read more

Tried the Chicken Adobo taco and the green chili beef burrito. The taco was one of the best I've ever tried, highly recommend it. The burrito was good too, especially at this price point. You can tell the tortillas and taco shells they use are top quality and it makes all the difference. read more

This was my first time having a puffy taco. I had never heard of a puffy taco before. Who ever came up with this fantastic idea was a genius! At first I thought it was pricy for one taco but after having one it's pretty filling and yummy too. The little salsa bar is pretty good too. read more

Can confirm - the nachos are amazing! I got asada instead of ground beef, and sides of green and red. Yep that's the real deal.

"Vegan Options: Yes" This is not really true. The rice and papas are vegan, most of the salsa bar is too, and you can order the Calabacitas Taco Plate off the menu, but NOTHING else is vegan. Their whole beans are not vegan (don't remember why), so there is no way to get any plant-based protein here. Good news: a side of rice and papas is under $2 (including tax), so this is the cheap plant-based way to go. While this restaurant does have a few items that are vegan, I would not consider this place to be vegan-friendly and would not recommend it to plant-based eaters. read more

Love this place! Amazing food, I just wish they were more consistent. I've had tacos from here which I love, & the nacho mama. I love me a good nacho plate that is layered all the way through & Casa taco does just that. My last visit, the chips were pretty burnt & I was able to taste it. This place isn't cheap & I expect to get my money's worth. I'll definitely be back & hopefully there's some good consistency. read more

The ground beef burrito and loaded nachos were amazing. Got there late and was served quickly with friendly service. The takeout had huge servings, the nachos alone was enough for 3 other meals!! The drive thru wasn't working (call in only) because the restaurant is undergoing renovations, but I'm sure it'll look great once it's done! Delicious food with a short wait, 10/10 recommend read more

In my opinion, the best taco in ABQ!! Great service, clean restaurant, huge menu. High quality and super fresh ingredients, fabulous flavor and great value. Salsa bar - the creamy green is to die for Taco shells made fresh in house, crispy but soft. Perfect. Run, don't walk. read more

Ordered delivery from here once, it was late and my son and his girlfriend were visiting from Phoenix. I normally would have cooked my own Mexican food but it was late and I was tired and they were hungry. Food was ok, not spectacular. read more

Some of the best nachos in the city! It's not super busy-usually, which seems sketchy like the food isn't good, but don't let that throw you off! Nacho mama grande plate, just get it, I promise you won't regret it! The tacos are really good as well. read more

I had seen this place a few times and never even had the desire to care what it was or what they had there. Let's face it, this area of Academy is a bit sketch. It goes from slimey on San Mateo, to decent by Sprouts, then there's Torino's. Let's just put it this way, there are some good places surrounded by a odd background. But this is why I love Yelp. After wanting to try something new, I somehow came across this place. I had ate NM food earlier in the day, but was down for round two. I was not disappointed. The food here was extremely good. I had the brisket burrito smothered in green Chile and it was mouth watering. I honestly was having trouble slowing down while eating my food.... it was that good that my greedy stomach wanted to get a hold of it before anyone else had the chance to snag a bite. I also had the guacamole and chips here and it was equally delicious. They give you a huge portion for around $5. I almost feel guilty writing this review because I am sure as word gets out this is going to be one of those hipster spots that you can't even eat at without waiting an hour or two. Kudos to you Casa Taco! This city needs more unique, delicious places like this. read more

Good tacos. I like the shrimp ones and my family likes the beef. I've had the nachos and the chips were WAY over seasoned. It really threw off the whole dish. It happened to my fries too once. Now I ask for no seasoning. I guess some days they put on the right amount and other days they go crazy with it. You can get small drinks and refill them so that saves money. They have a Monday taco night but I haven't been there for that. read more

The menu was larger than I expected, and the cashier was very helpful answering questions about various items. I ordered the Adobo Chicken burrito, which was smaller than a Chipotle burrito, but still filling due to the potatoes mixed in with the chicken. The side of beans and rice were pretty standard, good but not great. My wife ordered one shrimp taco, one fish taco, and one jerk chicken taco. I tried each of the tacos, and preferred them to the burrito. In particular, the jerk chicken taco was a pleasant surprise, and my favorite of the three due to the intriguing spice blend and pineapple salsa. They have a salsa bar, and we tried each of the options, all of which were spicier than we expected (even the pico de gallo had a significant kick). It looks like most customers opt for the drive thru, and while there was an outdoor seating area, it was still winter so we sat inside. The indoor seating area is very narrow, and the tables are close, so while we enjoyed our meal it definitely felt more like cafeteria than restaurant seating. read more

I've driven by Casa Taco numerous times and finally over the weekend I decided to check it out. I'm so glad that I did! The tacos here are amazing! I love the crispiness of the tortilla. The brisket and carne asada tacos are some of the best I've had. I had to stop by on Monday for their $1.50 deal on their ground beef tacos. What a steal of a deal! I'm definitely coming back many more times to satisfy any taco cravings I have. read more
