Amazing, authentic and delicious Mexican food! This will become your favorite Mexican restaurant in the Bay Area. Don't normally write reviews, but I had to share this business as a way of thanking them for all the love and effort they put into every dish I've ever had there. Run, don't walk. You will be recommending them to everyone you know. Thanks again Casa Villa!! read more

Had dinner at Casa Villa tonight. I've ordered food from them via DoorDash in the past, but tonight was my first time dining in the restaurant. We arrived around 5:30pm on a weeknight and the place was empty except for one couple. One of the first things I noticed was the music overhead was very loud. The waitress told us to sit wherever we wanted, so we grabbed a booth in the side room. Fortunately, the music was not as loud in there. I decided to try something I hadn't ordered previously and went with the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and rice. My companions ordered carne asada street tacos, chicken enmoladas, and a strawberry margarita. The food arrived quickly. My dish was nice-sized with three enchiladas, and while they were good, they were a bit too spicy for me. I could only eat about half of them. The rice was delicious and I would have liked more. Everyone else really enjoyed their food and kept commenting on how good it was. I asked if their food was spicy and they said no. They liked their strawberry margarita, too. I tried to order tres leche for dessert for us to share, but they were out. I've had it before at Casa Villa and it is scrumptious with lots of strawberries. The waitress then surprised us with a tiny piece she found in the fridge and three spoons. She didn't charge us for it. Overall it was a good dinner and I highly recommend Casa Villa. The restaurant is cozy with a warm, homey feeling and the service is excellent. I've had the fish tacos and quesabirria tacos in the past and they are delicious. read more

The carne asada plate was okay, the carne asada itself was missing that smoky char flavor. It was also my first time trying nopales, and they were a bit sour for my palate. The refried beans were decent. The rice was soft and fluffy. The tortillas were hot, fresh, and homemade. The shrimp ceviche was decent. It wasn't as lime-forward as I prefer, and the red bell peppers caught me off guard since I'm not used to having them in ceviche. I did enjoy the addition of mangoes, which added sweetness and tang that balanced the dish. read more

Casa Villa - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

Here is my Delish experience!!! We recently discovered this hidden gem in San Jose after our family friends recommended this spot. This restaurant serves amazing authentic Mexican food with great service and a pleasant ambience. The frescas and mocktails were especially flavorful and refreshing. I really liked their kids menu options and ordered pancakes with fresh strawberries along with a side of fries. It may seem like a small detail but we absolutely loved the fries, they were perfectly crispy and not thin or soggy. Coming to the food, our favorite part was the molcajete which is a massive platter with multiple items and very filling, definitely worth the price. The spicy sauce that comes with the platter is incredibly delicious and adds so much flavor. For those with a smaller appetite, they also offer smaller portion options like the pollo quesadilla which did not disappoint at all. Overall this has become our new favorite spot every time we visit the Bay Area, an authentic Mexican restaurant with great food, great service and a welcoming experience. read more

Warmly greeted, then pick your own table/booth. Each breakfast was fresh and hearty, including the guacamole. Fresh is important for my dish, otherwise, it can be a soggy mess, as I opted for the Rojo Chorizo Chilaquiles, Eggs Over Easy. I love me some chorizo, so I was clamoring for a little bit more, but the dish was incredibly delicious nonetheless. Their Mexican Coffee is unique and a must for me at breakfast time. The storefront and sign are on the smaller side, so look for the umbrellas out front. read more

Casa Villa is a small Mexican restaurant in a willow glen strip mall. They are expanding soon but for now they have less than 10 tables. The facility itself is in decent condition, well decorated and about as clean as you'd expect. The service is really friendly and the prices seem reasonable. We got the molcajete to share. It's pretty big and served very hot in a volcano rock pot. There were generous amounts of beef, chicken and very flavorful sausage. It all seemed fresh and well cooked. But it was lacking something in flavor as most of the ingredients seemed sliced and basically boiled. It needs more seasoning or something to elevate the flavor. The tortillas were excellent. read more

I would give this place NO stars if that option was available! After waiting well over 15 minutes at our table the waitress brought us a menu and said she would be back to take out drink order well another 15-20 minutes went by she sat a party of 6 down after us not only took their drink orders first, she brought them their drinks AND went ahead and took food orders meanwhile she never came back to at the least take our drink orders! We were only a party of 3! We ended up walking out. Horrible service! Will not be supporting this establishment ever again. Very disappointing. read more

Casa Villa is located in the same Willow Glen strip mall as Mimosas, which I have previously reviewed. It look unassuming from the outside, but you step through the doors it has a warm and friendly vibe. There is enough Mexican decor to give the place flavor, without being kitschy. Service was fast and friendly, and our waitress was very helpful. They've got a large menu with lots of interesting items, including a large breakfast menu. We got chips and salsa - the chips are homemade, and the salsa was really good. I ordered the shrimp empanadas, and they were amazing. The crust was flakey and flavorful, and the shrimp filling was perfectly cooked. It came with a cucumber salad, which was very refreshing. My friend ordered the Camarones Al Ajillo, and said it was delicious. I had a Tres Leches cake for dessert. The presentation was beautiful, and the cake itself was perfect. We finished our meal with cafe de olla. It was freshly brewed, and the wonderful smell filled the room. And of course it was served in clay mugs, as it should be! The only downside of the meal was the margarita I ordered. The presentation was really nice, but the drink itself was just OK. There were no premium cocktails on the menu, so next time I might stick with a beer or Michelada. There are some great Mexican restaurants in San Jose, but Casa Villa is an unexpected gem - I'll be back many times! read more

We ordered the quesabirria tacos, flautas, and chicken enchiladas with verde sauce. Everything was excellent! Slight hiccup with one of the orders having sour cream after requesting no sour cream. But the customer service was great, they fixed the ordered immediately with no delay. Very quick service and very accommodating. Everything we ate we would definitely order again. read more

We been here for breakfast, as o we decided to try it for lunch. They expanded to the next door since the last time I've been here. I'm assuming that means business must be good. Not much of a crowd for lunch,it's usually crowded for breakfast. They have a nice variety on the menu, pretty much something for everyones taste. I got the mole enchiladas. I know it depends on who makes the mole. I don't think I've had the same tasteing mole. Here the mole is slightly sweet,not at all spicy. Not my favorite,but not bad. The refried beans were dry and had no seasoning,same with the rice. Where they expanded,it still looks like they are remodeling. Will probably be back,but for breakfast. read more

Been wanting to try Casa Villa for a while because I love trying out new spots close to Willow Glen. Casa Villa is in a plaza around the area and is a really small restaurant with only about 8 tables in the indoor area. The place is decorated really nicely but the service wasn't really as welcoming. We came here specifically for the pozole and ceviche. Pozole was good had lots of flavor but was really spicy. Ceviche was super weird and I didn't like the taste at all. Super sweet not very favor. The chunks were too big and not like your traditional ceviche. My boyfriend ordered the enchiladas which he liked because it came with rice and beans. The horchata was super yummy as well but was mostly ice inside of the glass. Was a little let down by the service just because it took a little while to even get our order taken and no one had checked up on us after receiving the food. The few times we needed something we had to call down a server which took a really long time which is unfortunate because the place didn't have many tables so I assume they prioritize take out orders. Overall, I don't think I will be returning. The food is mid and prices are still high for what you get. Total came out to be $70 for everything with tip which is decent for all of the food but the service and food just didn't meet our expectations. read more

Quaint little restaurant in a quiet area of the town, parking right on the parking lot of plaza. They have nice drinks and the food is fresh. I was expecting a traditional clay bowl for my pozole, but I got it in a regular white bien instead. I suppose it's no big deal since the pozole was pretty good, but for some reason I like the clay bowl better, just for the experience and presentation. The one thing I was disappointed in is that I was expecting (handmade) corn tortillas. I could've sweared that I saw it on the menu. I got prepackaged corn tortillas instead. Overall it was good. read more

A small Mexican restaurant, tucked away in a sleepy plaza with plans for expansion into an adjacent space. Service was efficient and friendly. We tried the molcajete. The presentation was a plentiful cornucopia of sausage, beef, chicken, and veggies served in a traditional volcanic stone bowl. We'll be back to explore more of their menu. read more

I decided to start the new year off with a non-meat dish. I thought I'd have to order from the sides but was happy to see a vegan chile relleno. The sauce had a refreshing taste, not spicy. They have a vegan section on menu but the items are all made with either Beyond or Impossible meat which I don't like. I also had the mango pineapple agua Fresca and a side of chips and salsa. The salsa was a hit. We will be back! read more

Menu is very large, will be back to try some other things soon. read more

Cozy little Mexican spot! I got the posole and the pork was super soft and tender. The soup was pretty spicy and came with onions and chili oil on the side. We also tried the hibiscus drink, and it was the perfect sweetness for me. We first ordered the horchata but ended up switching, and the service was super nice about it, she changed it with no charge. read more

Do Not order the Fajitas! Unlike any fajitas that I've ever ordered. These arrived like a stir fry meat and peppers on a plate rather than on a sizzling platter. Also they were served without any sour cream or queso. I had to dig through all of the bell peppers in order to find the small strips of meat. My lady did enjoy her Birria Tacos, so research Casa Villa food before ordering. read more

December 12, 2025 and our party of 4 came in for dinner. Lots of close by parking. The restaurant is well lit, and the menu is easy to read. The chips and salsa was good, and it is obvious the chips are nuts prepackaged/mass-manufactured. The chicken nachos were thoroughly enjoyed. The shrimp super burrito was filling and delicious. There was no problem substituting the corn tortillas for flour tortillas for the chicken enchiladas. The Quesa-Birria tacos were perfect! Thank you for the service, Liliana Reza R. read more

I'm a big fan of chilaquiles, so I'm always looking for the next best one in San Jose! We decided to try Casa Villa since I saw it on their menu. No wait to set seated on a Saturday around noon. There was plenty of parking in the lot, and they have both indoor and outdoor patio seating. I'd say the Chilaquiles was a winner! You can get either red (salsa roja) or green (verde) sauce with their chilaquiles, but I asked our server, and she said you can get half and half! The chips were smothered in sauce with pico de gallo, sour cream, queso fresco, and two eggs on top. It's served with rice and beans, and you have a choice of either pinto or black beans. I also tried some of the Breakfast Burrito, which I didn't like as much as the chilaquiles, but it wasn't bad! It has scrambled eggs, chorizo, mozzarella cheese, rice, beans, pico de gallo, and a side of country potatoes with bell peppers and onions. They give a side of salsa on the side, which was on the spicier side! read more

After having my eye on this place for about a year my wife and I decided to have a brunch date here this past friday. Walked in and noticed the hustle and bustle right away. The staff was attentive and awesome from the get go! I ordered the pozole and she ordered the quesa villa. The pozole was some of the best I have had from a restaurant in a long time! Initially, not spicy, but they give you some chile de aceite which was super hot but so damn delicious! My wife loved the quesa villa with the crispiness of the tortilla and the great balance of toppings. Definitely coming back! read more

We had breakfast here on our trip to San Jose. To start, my husband is from Michoacán and naturally we are very picky with our Mexican food. Menudo 10/10. Tripe was melt in your mouth , perfectly cooked, not chewy at all. Huge pieces Consommé is thick, incredibly seasoned authentic Mexico taste. Chilaquiles verdes with chorizo were possibly the best I've ever had. They make their own chorizo, handmade tortillas and we couldn't believe the flavor. I've never seen my husband eat so slowly in my life. We just didn't want this meal to end. Cafe de olla was too perfect, I felt like we were back in Mexico. The chips and salsas were to die for. We would drive 2 hours just to eat here again, and just might next weekend. Gracias para la desayuno de royalty. read more

Wife and I were on a lunchtime walk nearby and decided to give them another chance. Ended up disappointed they haven't regained their spark and continue lowering their value proposition. First off, we weren't offered chips and salsa. Aside from that service was good. Secondly, my torta de asada came without beans and lettuce as listed on the menu. The skimpy pieces of thin-sliced steak hardly made a dent on the sesame roll that enveloped them. Finally, my wife had the tostadas rancheras which were tasty but pretty lonely on a plate unaccompanied by any sides. At $35 for these 2 dishes, we felt it was a bad value. We won't be coming back read more

Good local restaurant. The dishes were tasty and filling, and the overall vibe felt relaxed and comfortable.
