La Casita in Mammoth, AZ is the basis upon which I judge Mexican food. From simple cheese crisps to…read morethe many combination plates they offer, La Casita's food is top notch. If you're traveling up or down AZ Highway 77, it is a required stop if you're passing through. The venue is not fancy, but who cares when the food is good. The servers are always attentive. I no longer get to sample their offerings as often as I would like. I used to work locally and it was the obvious lunch stop with vendors because of how good their food was. This trip I got my old favorite, Machaca Chimichanga (which you can't get that's worth anything in TX or MT). The tortilla was crispy and almost melted in my mouth without any signs of oil. Yum! Their beans are always excellent, made the old-fashioned way, creamy. Fit my drink, I opted for Modelo Negro, which complimented my chimi perfectly and followed the meal with an order of sopapillas with cinnamon & sugar and honey. ¡Perfecto!

Yesterday I walked in after ordering flautas over the phone. Afternoon on 12/23/24. The lady…read morecashier was rude as soon as she looked at me and the food wasn't good. I ordered two orders of chicken flautas with rice and beans. Two waters..a Horchata(my daughter liked it)and Jamaica. When we opened up the food this is how it looked. Pictures below. Hardly no cheese. The sour cream was watery from the lettuce still being wet and the crunchiness of the flautas got affected. The green salsa/guacamole?? Don't even know what that was..it was sauce that was greenish and so thick it looked squishy and tasted horrible. It couldn't even slide out the little cup to my flautas. Kitchen and Cashier were busy - con el chisme-(gossiping). In overall I would never order there again. I know how to cook and this was embarrassing. $32 NOT well spent. Would actually like a refund on this one Rated 1 star but would rate 0 if I could Esto no es como deben saber las flautas. Estoy desilucionada con su calidad en comida Y servicio( customer service)

A friend of mine and me were exploring the area and he suggested that we have lunch there. My choice was the Chile relleno, flour taco with ground beef and a cheese enchilada and accompanied by rice and refried beans. The Chile relleno was cooked perfectly, along with everything else. If you are looking for authentic, fresh Mexican food this is the place to go. It was delicious! I can't wait for the return trip for breakfast! Highly recommended!

The burrito had bacon, eggs, potatoes, cheese and I add chorizo to my burros lol. The burrito seemed to have made an improvement. It was portioned correctly, still large but rolled perfectly. Before they used to be bulgy. The chorizo used to be super spicy, this time is more mild. After this burro I'll be back for breakfast again. The place never changed inside and out. Still a little Mexican restaurant in a small town. Service still nice, you'll see the same faces when you order there.

The eggs were done perfectly, the beans tasty and the ranchero sauce alright, but not outstanding. A good dollop of salsa spiced up the sauce. The service was good and the coffee cup kept full. The tortilla was hot and tasty. They continue to do a great take out business and clearly they are one the locals favorite destinations. I debated giving a fourth star but held off once again. We will return and see about a fourth since they are clearly at least a 3 1/2.

Look, I'm not gonna to lie you...I haven't eaten there in over 10 years. Not because it sucked,…read moremainly because I can't get into the place. It's too busy. Guess why it's so busy? Because it's probably the best Mexican restaurant in Southern Arizona. And now, EVERYBODY knows it. I used to blame the Snowbirds, but it's obviously because of the "locals" now. Not many Canadians spend the summers with us, and the place is still crazy busy in July -but- If you can get in...do it! If I had the time to wait in line, I'd do it too. Enjoy!

The chips & salsa: chips were piping hot, and comes with a bowl of the best green salsa - perfectly sweet with that hint of hot at the end. Amazing! My wife ordered a horchata which was spectacular. My order- pictured shrimp tacos- were absolutely delicious and as you can see the presentation is top tier. We got their dessert special carrot cake to go and had it later that night. The carrot cake is beyond words crazy good. All around just a delightful experience! If you're within 80 miles of this place make the journey. I'm not kidding at all- best Mexican food I've ever had

I am not exaggerating when I say I could drink their enchilada sauce straight out of a coffee mug. It is THAT good. It has so much flavor, and it completely makes the meal for me. I could probably put it on just about anything and be happy. The food is flavorful, filling, and exactly what I want when I am craving Mexican food. The portions are generous, the atmosphere has that comfortable local restaurant feel, and the service makes you feel welcome. But seriously, did I mention the enchilada sauce? There are restaurants you remember because you had a good meal, and then there are restaurants where you find that one thing you start craving later. Guayo's enchilada sauce is absolutely that for me. If they ever start selling that stuff by the gallon, someone please let me know. I'll bring my own coffee mug.
