CASA Tempe - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This place is fun! It has 3 different areas to hang out here: 1) downstairs by the entrance (outside area) 2) upstairs (outside area) - The upstairs part is very tiny, perhaps a max of 30? people can fit up there. It has a small bar but all the times I've been there, which is a lot of times, there is never a bartender up there; it is always unmanned. 3) There is an inside area which is the club area. Lots of dancing. However, please bear in mind that the clientele here are college kids (it is in the college area so this is expected). Some even look a lot younger using fake ID's. The security at the gate would normally swipe your ID but few times I've been in line and seen they just look at kids and allowed them in without swiping their ID's. Could be regulars; just my observation. So even though I like this place and it is a lot of fun and you have the variety of areas to hang out, the kids there make it hard to wanna go back. We have had experiences where those kids would steal our drinks. Yes, this has happened a few times. Very annoying. One time I caught one of the young girls in a group taking up my drink from beside me and I confronted her straight away about it and she deliberately lied in my face saying her and her friend bought this together to share. We left right away. Those kids would come so close to you to steal your drinks or wallet. Last night we were there and our cards was stolen. I mean, I guess what else can you expect with a group of young college students who's parents are paying for their tuition. Again, I enjoy going there and if you ever decide to, just be extra aware of your surroundings. read more

There website advertises happy hour from 3-7pm- half off draft beers. I went at 6:30pm and ordered 3 beers and was charged FULL PRICE! The bartender pointed me to a sign on the side of the bar that stated happy hour was 3-6pm. He refused to adjust my bill albeit I showed him the website which clearly states happy hour 3-7pm. Would definitely not recommend this place. Try downtown Phoenix, perhaps the Biltmore area, better people with far more class. Apparently this bar only caters to stupid college students trying to order drinks without an ID! read more

CASA Tempe - The website advertises happy hour from 3-7pm- half off draft beers. I went at 6:30pm and ordered 3 beers and was charged FULL PRICE! - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Food was excellent! Really chill vibe and the hubby enjoyed their selection of beer on tap. Their pico and chips are made fresh daily and are a must have. They typically serve them complimentary if use I order food/drinks. The spicy chicken burrito and the Tinga de pollo plate were certain hits. read more

Wouldn't recommend this place with all the other competition on mill ave. they used to have a whole vegan menu with numerous selections. I see they have a new owner or management now, not sure which but that must be the reason why their vegan menu is gone and has been reduced to one vegan carne asada burrito which is painfully mediocre. I won't be coming back eat. They are incredibly stingy and cheap with their "free chips" too. read more

The bar vibe makes you feel like you could walk out onto a beach. Coupled with their burritos this place is great! read more

Don't go here with an out of state license without expecting to spend at least a half an hour outside the bar while the bouncer inspects, bends, asks five other people and then calls the cops to make sure that your IDs ARE in fact real. Then weren't even compensated for our inconvenient wait. Nothing like being 23 and 25 and treated like underage college kids. Maybe investing in a scanner would be a quicker solution. read more

This place is fun. The staff are friendly and welcoming - seems like a good place to work. We were there mid-day on a weekend and the crowd was mostly younger. Good beer selection and they have a 32 oz. bucket gimmick that looks like a good idea if your intention is to get drunk. AND there's a Vegan section on the menu. Mr. H asked about sides and the waitress said the burritos are huge and a side would go to waste. The burritos are pretty big, but Mr. H needed a few bites of mine and a beer. So if you're a hungry man or have the appetite of one, you might want to order some chips with your burrito, or have two beers. Burritos are Chipotle size. I ordered the Humanitarian burrito, which is like a salad burrito - fresh, tasty, filling, but still felt healthy-ish. Mr. H's Solo Mexicana burrito was equally tasty and filling, but a little heavier and he loved it. Great vegan variety/options. We will definitely be back and would love to take friends and family here (probably not at night on a weekend, though, because, it's Mill Ave.). We didn't see the inside, or the roof top patio, but the street level patio is similar to a Dos Gringos without all the bright colors. They had misters on the patio that spray outward in the direction of the sidewalk at chest level, which worked because it was breezy. Smoking could definitely be a problem here because they allow it on the patio and even if someone who's smoking walks by, you can't avoid it. The patio is dog friendly, but it is not enclosed so make sure your pups don't escape and run into traffic! read more

We had four parties convening on Mill Ave last Saturday for the Territorial Cup basketball game and, not wanting too much of a hassle, we agreed on the ol' "first ones to find a good set up texts everyone else and we'll meet there." Jenny and I were the first to arrive and, after vetoing a couple chain establishments, found a table on the patio at CASA Sunba. Our server was excellent, discussing the draft and mixed drink selections with us, and taking care of our party as members trickled in. I enjoyed a couple beers and our friends had the street tacos, which they said were very good. The patio was the perfect place to people watch on a gorgeous game day. Plus the patio is dog-friendly which, as a dog lover, is a huge plus to me. read more

The burritos are so amazing I don't even know where to begin. The chinese take out or the mac and cheese burrito is what I would recommend. Also, I love that you can sit upstairs outside. It's really enjoyable. The buckets are the way to go when you want to have a drink. They have awesome deals when it comes to them. When you wanna grab a drink during the day, I would come to casa and grab a bite as well. read more

CASA Tempe - Chinese take out burrito - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Came here on a Friday night on my birthday. The drinks were really good, in particular we enjoyed the margarita, moscow mule. The strawberry daiquiri was not frozen but on the rocks and tasted so so however it was pretty potent as far as alcohol content as it felt like a knock out punch to both of us. We had the pulled pork burrito with cold macaroni and cheese in it. Neither one of us cared for it. We also ordered the trio dip: salsa, refried beans, and guacamole. The salsa was decent, the refried beans was some of the best I've ever had ... so yummy, unfortunately way too much was given and it's not good to eat so much refried beans even if they taste healthy and good. The guacamole was out of this world. So fresh tasting. We both enjoyed this the most. Waitress Ally was great. Her personality and demeanor helped us enjoy our time there even more. We will come back. Overall I had really great time here. Live music ended by the time we arrived at 8:30 PM and we were left without a DJ. Music could be better. lol. read more

This place is a shit show! They literally sell buckets of alcohol to all the belligerent night owls in this tiny tiny establishment that is outside. It is 2 levels but super small, and sometimes they host block parties that get super crazy. That's the only reason I go here is to see sick djs. Otherwise I would not come. There's no bathrooms, people are over served, but the drinks aren't that expensive and there's a cool patio upstairs. It's just really really dirty and the crowd is annoying! read more

Trevor is the sexiest bartender on mill and was very helpful, Josh, Garrett are honestly the most amazing down to the earth bartenders. Very sweet laid back attitudes and were incredibly personable and helpful. Casa is the spot! read more

Hi Everybody, I really thought I was done with these but the story I have is waaaay to good not to be told. A couple of close friends and I went to see the Ryan Davis Standup at the Tempe Improv. I do need to state that one of my close friends that was with me) is a very good/famous professional heavyweight fighter named Cain Velasquez (this is very relevant to the story). At the end of the Stand up we all decided to go the Piano bar on Mill Ave to hang out and have a good time. Overall the night was going great but we decided to head back to our car that was parked in the garage next to Casa Sumba. Cain's wife was one of the members in our group. At this time his wife is over 5 months pregnant. She needed to stop for quick bathroom break, so we decided to stop there. The plan was to go in and have drink while Cain's wife handles her business. The bouncer at the front was a bald guy with red facial hair. As we walked up the bouncer the bounces goes right for me and checks out my clothes which I thought was very silly cause I was wearing normal size everything. He did see that I was wearing Jordan sneakers. With a smirk on his face, he let me know that "Jordans weren't allowed in the restaurant". I honestly thought he was joking. Now Mill Avenue as whole has a reputation for trying to block certain demographics from entering their establishments. I have had issues when I college (nearly a decade ago) getting into places at night when I was wearing very similar clothes as other people that were allowed in. All of these places that I have issued with back then are now out of business. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER REVIEWS THAT STATE RACE as the reason for a poor experience at CASA Sunba. Once I could see that the bouncer was really going to deny my access, I became dumbfounded. He was literally the first bouncer I have ever seen that has turned away Cain. 99.9% bouncers know who Cain is and love it when he comes around. I could tell this bouncer was/is special. Like I said I have been denied access to places before, so I usually just laugh it off and go about my business. The problems came from my friends being more pissed than I was. The group I was traveling with was pretty diverse but I was the only black guy. I don't think they were used to getting turned away over petty BS. Well they learned that day. I am always glad to share my experiences with people of other races. I was trying to tell my friends that are was okay and that these things always turn out for the better. Cain's wife was very unhappy but still needed to use the restroom. The bouncer had zero reason to not let her in and might I add again she was 5 months pregnant. The bouncer actually had the nerve to stop her and give her hard time about going in. He actually blocked her and held her up. Now I was nervous. I don't care if you are bouncer that does tabeo 7 days a week. You are NOT tough enough to stop Cain if he goes off. There probably weren't enough bouncers on that entire block. The bouncer was very lucky that he let her through when he did and he was the only smart thing he did was not touch her cause I knew that would be an instant problem that he couldn't handle. The bottom line is I understand policies and people doing their job. I also identify a bouncer with ego issues and whatever else that dude had. I'm glad the situation didn't get any worse and overall my night was a blast. However neither my friends or I will ever go back to CASA Sunba. I will try to post a pick of me that night so you can see what I was wearing. It really doesn't matter because the Jordans were apparently the issue. It is 2017. How are wearing Jordan shoes an issue? If this is the restaurants policy then it obviously needs to be changed. If the bouncer took it upon himself to impose his on policies then that restaurants needs to think about restaffing. I'm sure this post will deter some people of color from going in. I'm black and Cain is Mexican and I A LOT of Latinos LOVE Cain. If you know me then you know my background and that I'm telling 100% truth about everything. I made my profile photo the same photo of our group that night. I could easily think of ways to blow this whole thing up but I don't think the actions of few should affect the people who had no part in these events. Thanks for reading! read more

BETH IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! She is so down to earth and helpful. 10/10 recommend her as a bartender

It's a great place for drinks and having fun! The vibes are great! You'll enjoy the great dynamic of the outside bar that has an upstairs and downstairs patio! CASA also has a inside club attached which has different music and club vibes which usually has hot girls and really handsome dudes! Best part the people who come to casa are not complete a*$hole which you usually find at most clubs. They really take great care of you and get rid of people who are act like douche bags so its a awesome place for girls who love to dress up but not get felt up by complete strangers. Dance vibes: Inside: They got a good dance floor that's never sticky which means a lot when you got heels on. Outside: smaller dance floor but also has their own outside Dj with great music. DRINKS: CASA has these things called buckets and bombers which i highly recommended you get! there not only cheap but they well get you drunk so enjoy responsibly! AMF, house marg and long islands are the best! Bartenders: hot girls and hot guys! They are the sweetest also! True story I dropped my bucket and bartender replaced it for me! They didn't have to do that but honestly now they got a customer for life! So service is 5/5 Security: Security probably some of the hottest dudes on mill ave but not to mention the most helpful and nice. They don't have you feeling like your walking through TSA at the airport but at the same time your feeling safe! You have a problem they will help you! Plus side they treat other dude with respect! Won't have them feeling like they have the 5 to 1 ratio of girls with them just to get in! 5/5 Overall they are great I'd recommend showing some love with some tips because good service and good times are hard to find people! Bonus Points! The outside patio is dog friendly! Foods pretty good during the day! During winter they have outside heaters that keep you warm even in dresses! read more

Worst customer service experience I've ever had. I didn't even want to give the one star... We (party of 2) sat down at a table and waited 15 minutes before anyone approached us... Eventually, a waitress arrived, couldn't verify our IDs, so she said a manager would come check them out. We waited another 15 minutes before anyone arrived at our table... Once the manager verified our IDs, we did not get our drinks for ANOTHER 15 minutes... Once our drinks arrived, the waitress did not ask if we wanted to order food, or anything else... 15 minutes later (we were there for one hour at this point), we requested a check and left. Completely unacceptable service, I wouldn't even touch this place with a ten foot pole. read more

Absolutely terrible! The bouncer Brennan was rude and disrespectful to our group and tried to show off his 'privilege' to our minority group. Recommend plenty of other places near Mill Ave that have respectful staff. read more

This place is absolutely HORRIBLE. I live very close to mill so I go to a lot of different restaurants and I'm completely surprised this place is even open considering how shitty they treat customers. I think her name was Gabby and she just seemed inconvenienced that we were there even though it was the middle of the day and dead. Wanted to get food too but thought that would be too much to ask...I'll stick to my other spots. read more

Blatant Racism! I wish I could give Casa zero stars. They don't even deserve one. I was there July 30th with two friends celebrating my 21st birthday. It was a Sunday night so the place was dead. We sat down and ordered our drinks. We were sitting right by the bouncer. Two African American men walk up, show their Id's and were turned away because of the SHOES one guy had on. These men were dressed nicely and were being polite JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!! The bouncer became cocky and laughed as he turned away the two men at the gate. I have never in my life experienced such blatant racism. If this is how CASA treats human beings, they deserve to be shut down. It's sad that in 2017 this is happening. My friends and I walked right out after the two men were turned away. I will never spend a single penny at this bar. read more

Went to Casa with a large group Saturday night. It was the first stop of the night and we hadn't had anything to drink yet. With a large group it is more difficult to order drinks. We had split transactions and we were gonna pool cash tip at the end. But the bar tender say one transaction without tip and refused to to serve us anymore drinks. Even though we tipped after finally receiving our last drink from a different bar tender. And then refused to serve anyone that was seen with is that night. She was completely rude. I get that place was crazy and I'm sure they deal with a lot of drunk rude people but we were not them. read more

This place is pretty cool. I like unique food and this place delivers. Their burritos are different then anywhere else. Who puts green chili pork and mac n cheese in a burrito? These guys do. If you want some good burritos that are very unique this is the place for you. I agree with some of the other reviews, the service isn't the best but it is not the worst either. Check it out. read more

Went here on a Monday night with my girlfriend to kill time before a movie. We sat ourselves and waited for 20 minutes without a server coming over or anyone acknowledging our existence. I then went to the bartender and order 2 drinks. The bartender acted annoyed that someone ask about a drink. The bartender let me know she was sending a server out to bring the drinks. I returned to where I was sitting to wait another 20 minutes. A security guard then came to check our IDs and that my behavior was strange. After he scrutinized our IDs we left. read more

The bouncer examined my ID and then refused to let me in with the excuse that "You stink." I had just showered and put on clean clothes an hour before. The asshole also neatly bent my ID in half as if that's some kind of actual test. Why then don't they do that in airports? Just some power tripping mental midget. Fuck this place. read more

The security guards at this place SUCK hardcore. They totally ruin what could be a great bar. They take their jobs waaay too seriously and they're super aggressive and straight up disrespectful to people. The bouncer at the front was such a jerk too. He let my other friends in then stopped me (the last one in our group) and then closed the rope and wouldn't let me in as he stood there talking to this other girl, all while holding, flicking and bending my ID for about 2 minutes before he let me in. Wtf?? He saw we were a group then just kept only me back in line while playing with my ID? Wtf is that? So messed up. When he finally gave me back my ID and let me in I snatched it from him and muttered a few words that I'm pretty sure he heard. Such a jerk. These guys need a reality check. Get over yourselves. Also - there weren't any paper towels in the girls bathroom all night AND the air dryer didn't work, which I thought was ridiculous. read more

Came to casa 2 weeks in a row on a Wednesday night with friends. Wore a pair of black cat Jordan 13's and was let in last week no mention of a dress code. This Monday came back only to order a vegan item from their menu wearing a pair of Jordan 6's and was turned away because "jordans are against dress code". I pointed out to the bouncer that I had been in last week wearing Jordan retros and his excuse was too specific to be believable, but trust will not be trying to get in ever again. Be careful shaggy haired bouncers wearing teeshirts with holes and 99cent flip flops will turn you away because apparently the money you have only spends well at footlocker and house of hoops. Will gladly take my $, j's and challenger to buy food and liquor from a place that doesnt use salty discretion to allow customers in on a week by week basis. This place is a joke, not a bar or restaurant if you have any doubts the atmosphere and food are definitely not worth the risk of possibly being able to spend your money here. *Updated* Didnt even think it was due to racism but after reading further reviews it all makes sense. The last visits I made to this place were with a large group of white friends. I am actually (believe it or not) half black and half white but extremely fair skinned and wear my hair straightened almost all the time. This week when I returned the only difference was my company. Rather than being with a crowd of white friends I attempted to get in with my clearly black, but mixed half white half black boyfriend. If you're anything other than black go ahead and try this place wearing whatever you would like. What your wearing has absolutely no affect on getting in this place unless it is your skin. read more

Without a doubt, the worst experience I have ever had at a "bar." Service was incredibly rude, drinks were terrible, atmosphere was okay. I definitely recommend avoiding this place, especially since there are so many better places near it. read more

CASA Tempe - This is the type of people CASA employs. This guy kicked me out for wearing a UofA shirt and started swearing at me. - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I love the vegan carne asada. It can be a little salty at times. I typically get the bowl and omit the beans as they are not vegan and get extra rice. Would love extra lettuce instead but I refuse to pay extra for a few shreds of lettuce. read more

I typically always have a great experience with CASA, unfortunately, that was not the case most recently. I believed I had forgotten my bag at the bar the night prior and attempted to call through the entire next day. I continuously called from the moment they opened until they closed. Not only did I call, but I also messaged them on Facebook which they read but did not respond to. I then visited the bar when I was able to and spoke to an employee who told me that she had, in fact, found my purse herself at closing and handed it to a manager to be placed in their lost and found box. She left to retrieve the bag for me and only returned to tell me that they no longer had it in their possession to which I requested to speak to a manager about. The manager I spoke with told me that someone must have grabbed my bag from their bin and left. She then told me they "oversee" the retrieval of lost belongings but failed to perform an identification check this time around. Not only did Casa not respond to any form of communication attempted on my end, but they allowed a complete stranger to walk off with my purse after it was in their possession and care. CASA dropped the ball in this situation, and behaved irresponsibly and unprofessionally. read more

Beth Is the best!!!!! So friendly and an awesome bartender. So excited for next weekend!

If I could give this place less than a star I would. My girlfriends and I came over for an usual Thursday night visit to casa as we thought it was going to be like any other week we come here but no. They served us a horrible $16 "bucket" with horrible beer. And know I was the DD so I was not drinking. My friends complained about their "bucket" drink so I had a sip of it and it was the worst beer I ever had. Came to the "manager" bartender inside and she pretty much told me that because we drank half of the bucket (which we didn't. They never even serve the full thing) the couldn't do anything about it. so I kindly told her that beer was not good (sandy and not carbonated enough) Jezz I even blamed on the cups being "dirty" just to be nice but she pretty much in short words told me she couldn't help me. Ok. Went to the other manager on the other side. Worst idea ever. He was very unprofessional. Made me wait there without knowing what was going on for a bit I even had to ask a server if he was gone trying to help me or? The severs were all nice btw and the girl didn't know. He finally comes backs Treated me like I was a stupid little girl and told me his bartenders wouldn't mess up a drink EVER. Come on! Like serving a drink on a busy night wouldn't make you make a mistake?. He honestly made me feel so little as costumer for just wanting to get things straightened up with my drink. I still even told him look I don't care about money I just want to have a good drink (my drink looked like a soup). All I wanted was for them to say sorry and maybe give me the SAME beer from a better tap but no. These people have the worst costumer service and made my night horrible. Never coming here again as so is my friends. read more

Literally the best carne asada tacos in the world! I am stuffed and I still ordered another

Every time I've been here the bartenders and security are entirely unprofessional and rude. It's a wonder this place is still open.

The most racist bar ever. I was standing in the restroom line then two people came and stood right front of me. The security is always standing right front the restroom door. So I told him, and he acted like there's nothing happened. Dose that happen because I'm NOT WHITE and the security and those two people were WHITE. Is this a WHITE privilege ??????????????????? read more

I went to Casa a few weekends ago with a girlfriend. I've realize the wait staff on Mill Ave in general isn't that great but Casa may take the cake for the worst.
