There was a sign across from this place that stated Casa Blanca Restaurant Parking . It was in a weird area that I wasn't comfortable parking at, but I took a gamble. My significant other and I walked inside. We were greeted immediately. We were able to choose a booth or a table and went with a booth. We were seated at 10. I looked at the menu to see what was offered. From the Beverages section, Soft Drinks were $2.99. The server gave me options and I chose Diet Pepsi. From the Cocktails section, I got a Margarita 16oz for $9.99. It was served on the rocks. The server gave me the choice of salt or sugar on the rim and I chose salt. The Especialidad De La Casa were Served with Rice, Beans Garnished with Grilled Green onion, Lettuce and Pico de Gallo. I went with Fajitas Casa Blanca for $25.99. It was Steak, Chicken, and Shrimp Mixed with onion, Green Pepper, and Tomato. The server gave me the choice of corn or flour tortillas and I chose corn. The server offered verde salsa and rojo salsa, so I didn't pass those up. They were free. We were given free chips and salsa. They were tasty and so was the free refill on them. I was given free water. It was alright. The Diet Pepsi was great and so was the free refill on it that I got. The Margarita was fantastic. My only issue was that there was a lot of ice in it. The Fajitas Casa Blanca were awesome. The whole ensemble was tasty. The verde salsa and rojo salsa were both decent. The service was fantastic. Our server was efficient. I didn't have any issues. Overall, I was impressed by this place. I wouldn't be surprised if I have a random moment and crave it someday. Date of visit: Apr 30, 2025

The menu was already at the table, so that was convenient. From the Bebidas Drinks section, they had Pepsi Products and I went with a Diet Pepsi 16oz. $2.49. The Tacos were $3.29 ea. and Served with onions and cilantro. I went with a Pollo - Chicken. The Burritos were $8.99 ea. and I went with a Chorizo - Mexican sausage. The Burrito: Served with beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. We were given free chips, salsa, and limes. It was all excellent. The Diet Pepsi was smooth and tasty. I ended up ordering another one and it was just as good. The Pollo was great. It had a good amount of ingredients. The Chorizo was fantastic. All of the ingredients came together to form a spectacular flavor. I added green sauce to it that was at the table and it perfected it. I added red sauce to it that was at the table and it wasn't too good. The service was good. I didn't have any issues. Overall, I had a great experience here. I would definitely go again.

Sat down near a staff member eating her lunch and she told us the salsa is made fresh daily :) my friend ordered the steak tacos and I had a chorizo burrito. The meals were more than either of us could finish. He was impressed with the tenderness of the steak, no signs of gristle or toughness. My burrito had great flavor. Definitely someplace I will return and tell my friends about! Keep up the great work.

They should just turn this place into a bar already the food quality has declined terribly over the…read moreyears. I used to love eating here when the steak tacos were flavorful carmelized and juicy and the beef tasted like beef not tomato achiote sloppy joes. When you used to order meat it tasted like whatever meat (just seasoned to bring out the natural flavors) you ordered. Now who knows what they're putting in the food it's all bland but over done like a bougie Taco Bell disguised as an authentic Mexican restaurant. Place looks nice and has nice staff but the food is far from your Tito's/Tia's or abuelo/a's comfort Mexican food. Even the beans were overly added to and tasted like canned cheap slop. Rice was very plain but plain rice pairs well with the properly cooked and seasoned food. It's been years since I ate here and I don't know what happened to the quality of the food here but I will not be returning again.
