I've encountered regional Mexican cuisine that incorporates clove before, but not to this extent or across so many menu items. The flavor profile was unexpected and, for me, a bit overwhelming. Overall, the food was just okay. The restaurant was packed, so it's clearly doing something right for many diners. The staff was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service, which definitely added to the experience. While the food wasn't quite my style, the welcoming atmosphere and hardworking team deserve recognition.

So random, but I'm not mad at it. My husband has been craving milanesa so he got the chicken milanesa torta. Any sandwich that comes with beans is an automatic winner in my book. I got the tlayuda to satisfy my bean craving. It was huge! I had to take some of it as leftovers. I loved how spicy the brown salsa on top was and it had a great crunch. The waiter was so friendly and sweet and took great care of us. I wish we were closer so we could patronize this establishment more often!

Besides that the salsa with chips was very fresh and good on them for having the watery salsa and not the chunky one. The sopa de pollo was incredible, shredded chicken seasoned well and plenty of it, a few carrots and potatoes very soft and a few peppers, plus a fair amount of rice. The soup was great, well seasoned and almost a meal itself by its size. The tilapia de tres entree was way better then expected buried under juicy and tender shrimp and scallops was two large filets of tilapia, I mean seafood portions were very good and the scallops were not cooked into marbles like other places do. The sauce for the dish was best, it was spicy and smoky, way better than a garlic and butter sauce they do for the other seafood dishes. Refried beans were alright and the yellow rice was good, but wish I had more for that smoky sauce. Definitely amazing food and high quality. Nice to have a local spot.

Menu was interesting with both Mexican and Italian options. Awesome that they have "combination" plates so that you can try a little of everything. Loved the house chips + salsa and I really enjoyed my shrimp rellenos dish! The shrimp enchiladas were also tasty. The shrimp tacos were quite underseasoned and the big boy chipotle burrito was underwhelming per others at the table. I thought the beans were tasty but the rice not as flavorful as I like. The tortilla soup appetizer was soooo delicious and my favorite part of the meal!! We also shared a pitcher of coconut margarita which automatically was prepared frozen not on the rocks which was a bit of a bummer. Overall a pretty tasty meal and positive experience at Casa Villa

I don't deviate too much when it comes to Mexican food- as long as I can get solid shrimp tacos, a seafood dish or a vegetarian one, I'm good. There's some serious energy here with colorful pops of sombreros and other Mexican decor. There's also a compact bar area+high chairs with the kitchen's cowboy doors beside it. Even though Jalapeños wasn't buzzing in the early afternoon I was here, I can really see this place popping at night. I mean...the rating and the majority of the writing on this place say it all. Unlike another Mexican spot in Highland I visited in which they served cut-up shrimp with their tails in my tacos, Los Jalapeños' shrimp tacos were NOTHING like that. These are unbelievably juicy, big, seasony, left whole AND there are 2 per taco! They came with a garlicky sauce which caught me by surprise because there was no menu indication and nor was I told about it when I ordered. It was good though- but I did try scraping most off. Regardless, Jalapeños is one Mexican restaurant that calls for consecutive returns with incredibly warm service.

The red was like water and very hot. I ordered the AL Pastor Super Tacos. Super means it comes with rice and guacamole. The corn tortillas that the tacos were on weren't crispy. The were tough and tasted stale. There were onions on top and I was hard pressed to find a radish or cucumber. The AL Pastor was dry and bland. Very little pineapple taste. The rice was also bland. I had to pour sauce on it and mix in guacamole to add any flavor at all. Speaking of the guacamole, very bland and tasteless. I did like the presentation of the guacamole, but the taste is what matters. The server was a young kid - I had to request silver ware and napkins. He didnt ck back in until I was 95% done with my meal. All in all I was wholly disappointed and won't be returning any time soon. Mexican dishes should be alive with flavor. The plate I had was flatlined.
