If you love fajitas, you must go to Finca Casa Blanca! All of their food is good, but consistently over the years, we have been very impressed by their fajitas. Only once were they just "very good", the rest of the time, they're GREAT. Our favorite is the surf & turf with steak and shrimp. When you arrive, Maria (who makes the tortillas and weekend brunch) brings you hot corn tortillas with butter on the side. Just like my husband remembers his aunt making for them. BTW, a recent reviewer posted about stale tortilla chips and horrible salsas -- this is shocking. We LOVE their salsas (they bring two kinds with the chips plus mildly spicy carrots). Meat doesn't taste frozen, sauces don't taste canned. A fun side note: they have normal, large, and extra-large HUGE maragritas! Go try their fajitas! All of the servers are happy to see you and make you feel very welcome. They don't rush you, either. They want you to stay and enjoy! read more

Honestly it was some of the worst food I've had. Meat tasted like frozen meat, and the sauce on the burrito tasted like canned sauce they just threw on top. The salsa and chips were horrible, tortilla chips were stale and the salsas were just disgusting. Believe me I know what real Mexican food tastes like especially coming from a family from Mexico City. This was by far one of the worst places I've eaten at. Outside the building smelled like pee. This place was definitely not up to par. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE Only good thing I can say is that the man that served us was kind. read more

We ate lunch here because it was just a few steps from our hotel. The lunch specials were quite affordable and very tasty. The service was exceptional, they treated us like royalty. Really the best Mexican meal I've had in a long time. read more

This place looks abandoned. I purchased a Groupon and we've tried to go twice and it's closed. No one ever answers the phone. Unsure is they are permanently. read more

This is a traditional, full-service hole in the wall type Mexican restaurant offering delicious food at fair prices. You know you're at an authentic Mexican restaurant when they bring you a bowl of pickled carrots and onions along with your chips and salsa while waiting for your food. Everything here is homemade and tastes fresh and delicious! read more

I stopped in here because I found them on Groupon and wanted to try a new spot. The place feels very homely kinda like youre in someones home. The interior was very cozy. The staff was attentive to me. The food certainly felt homemade and came out pretty quickly! Stop in and support local! read more

Save your self a trip. The place is closed by order of the health department. And I have a Groupon!

Checked this place out after a hike and wow. Great service and the portions are more than fair. I had the ranchero burrito my friend had the enchiladas and both were amazing on flavor and presentation. My soda cup was never empty for long and everyone there was super nice. The salsa and chips on the house were a nice added touch. Will be coming back for the breakfast menu. read more

Been driving past this place on my way to the dog park until one day I decided to stop; glad I did. Tastefully decorated in a classic Mexican style, it imparts a comfortable and welcoming feel, complete with just the right kind of music to almost make you feel like you're in Mexico. I noticed the specials board on my way in and the Lobster burrito caught my eye so thought I would try it; $20 included rice and beans. The lobster was tasty and delicate and clearly the star of the show, sharing the spotlight with beans, pico de gallo, and a creamy butter sauce, with a flour tortilla holding it all together. The rice and beans accompanied the dish nicely. I paired the meal with a cold Modelo Especial, clearly authenticating the entire experience. Finally, fast, friendly service casting an exclamation point on a relaxed and enjoyable lunch, so much so that I just might return, but next time with the family! read more

VERY friendly service. VERY easy parking. Food was good. The hand made tortillas were great!

An average Mexican food place now that could use some better management or attention to important details. Oddly enough, with the fancy name change came a drop in quality. A step back for sure. It was La Casa Blanca before, now known as Finca Casa Blanca. We've never thought it was 5 star level, but it was worthy before after at least 3-4 times. The micheladas have been made well. On our last visit, I ordered the pork chile verde platter. I wanted the corn tortillas, but the waitress had to come back and tell me that the last corn tortillas were being used for my wife's plate of mole enchiladas. So, I was given the flour tortillas instead. It was 630 pm. The restaurant I believe was closing at 900. Why did they run out? Poor planning I would call it. Also, we both felt that most of if not all items on our plates were re-heated in the microwave. The reason we suspected this is because of some items were hotter than others on the plate. I know this because I have the same problem at home sometimes! Just a little tweaking and possibly this place could be up to par again. I will give them some time to improve and see the outcome as I don't plan on giving up on the place entirely. The service has always been very friendly and good, which makes me want to return eventually. Though I might think hard about it first. read more

Finca Casa Blanca - Pork Chile Verde combo 3/5 - Mexican Near Me - La Mesa, California

Went here before we head to a candlelight concert at Mt Helix park. Servers were friendly. It looks like a family run place. The place looks like they have buffet available. The place is a typical hole-in-a-wall restaurant the packs a punch in flavor. I always like trying places like this because I havent been disappointed yet. I had the flautAs and it was delicious. It came with rice and beans and I inhaled it. My friend ordered the chicken suizas and she loved it as well. Will definitely come back if i am in the area read more

Service was very good, and food was delicious! Margarita prices are the best in town!

Torta barely had any meat, bread was stale and for 16.95 it was not worth it at all. Left hungrier than when I came in. I only come here because it's walking distance but I guess I'll walk 20 minutes extra to Sombreros from now on. Save your money and don't ruin your day, go somewhere else. read more

Great authentic Mexican food. Very tasty and a good place for lunch or dinner. They have a great variety of dishes to choose from, and the chips and salsa are fresh and flavorful. read more

Ordered through Door Dash. Order was accepted and driver was waiting for pick up and then the order was abruptly canceled.

Excellent food and service. My wife and I go there at least once a month. I would highly recommend it.

Unassuming restaurant with charm. Happened to stop by on a Sunday morning and found a $20 brunch buffet with amazing choices. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely a good deal for good food! read more

forgot to take pictures! Second time here, the food is really good and so are the margaritas! The employees are super nice .

Good salsa, carrots and fresh tortillas. Not a fan of the chips. Food was decent, atmosphere cozy. Service was fine. I ordered a burrito but there was no indication it would be a wet burrito and I don't like them that way. Also side of guacamole and meat was very small amount like I noticed that they were trying to cut corners by giving a huge bowl and only 1/3 full. So yes I'd go back because it's cute and very convenient but it wouldn't be my first choice. Only a few tweaks and it would be a favorite. read more

Authentic Mexican food. Fresh warm chips and delicious salsa. Margarita paired perfectly with my meal. We ordered carne asada fries, carne asada quesadilla, carne asada burrito and 1 carne asada taco and 1 carnitas taco. We were obviously in a carne asada mood! Service was a bit slow but other than that we enjoyed our meal. read more

This place was okay as far as Mexican food goes. It's definitely not a bad place. The place was clean and we were seated right away. The service was excellent and slow. Not crowded at all. May be since this place is sort of tucked away and not visible. I enjoyed the food but there wasn't much flavor profile to it. read more

Something is off with the food quality and taste now. The last few times I've stopped by, the food just wasn't as good as it usually is. They must have a new cook who needs some time to improve. I'll try them out a few more times but if things don't get better I will sadly have to stop eating here. read more

This place has fantastic margaritas and I love the drink presentation. We enjoyed the food too! I had a Mexican Pizza which was delicious and the avocado appetizer was to die for! I can't wait to bring my family and friends to dine at Finca Casa Blanca. The waitress was so kind and they gave me flan & sang happy birthday such a hidden gem!!! read more

Pretty solid. I've been here twice, and both times I wasn't dissatisfied. They are right off the 8 in La Mesa heading toward El Cajon. Parking lot is behind the building and a few extras in front. Pros: - menu selection - affordable - delicious salsa and chips - nice casual date night vibe - atmosphere is dim and like a older cantina. - friendly staff Would return if in the area. read more

My daughter always orders the carne asada fries and I have tried just about everything. The chips are served warm and the salsa is quite tasty They have happy hour on certain days and the margaritas are quite yummy. They are also served with those cute umbrellas. Sometimes around happy hour they are busier than usual but nonetheless, quite worth it. I love these little treasures around the neighborhood. We need to support these gems. Oh and try their soups if you get a chance read more

Went in for menudo. I ordered 2. We got lots of harmony and little meat. Expected more for $10 bowl. I asked about their buffet, $20 per person. I think it's too much when you can go to El Torito for $18 and get more variety. Tortillas are the best though read more

We just discovered this local gem. From now on this is officially our FAVORITE Mexican restaurant in the area. Their menu is very diverse (especially soups and desserts), very generous portions. Service is attentive, cheerful and friendly. Muchas gracias! The lobster was HUGE; draft Modelo beer was great. They appear to be under new ownership. The business name has been modified to "Finca Casa Blanca". Looks like their new website is still a work in progress. Don't miss this place - they are located on Murray Drive, right behind the Charcoal House restaurant, have indoor/outdoor seating, and are open until 8pm. Tenemos a volver! read more
