    Mi casa logo!

    Muy mala atención!! La mesera muy ruda, hablando muy mal y muy cortante, quise hablar con la manager, y la mesera no dejaba hablar, la manager ni siquiera escuchaba mis comentarios, al final las dos con una risa, No recomendados especialmente el customer service!!

    Lively! The music, the appearance, and the attentive service add to the lively vibe of this place! "Mi casa es su casa", indeed haha. I had a botana mixto. It is a chilled dish consisting of shrimp and octopus with cucumber, tomatoes, and red onions. Lots of lime/citrus. Think seafood ceviche. Very cooling and tropical. Even though it was raining outside (at the time of this review), I wanted something cold and fresh. Lo and behold, there's this! Great! I'll try their hot dishes next time.

    I've passed by Mi Casa Cafe a few times and finally got to try it! It always looks like a popular place. We ordered the enchiladas and taquitos, as well as chips and salsa to start with. The chips and salsa were $3, with the chips being thinner tortillas but excellent salsas. I liked the red -- with a balance of sweetness to the acidity. There are also chunks of tomatoes, onions and cilantro. The green was cooler and very fresh. ENCHILADAS DE CANGREJO: The crab enchiladas had a burst of the ocean, enough crab meat and celery, tomato and onion. It came with a green and red sauce. The red sauce was saltier, but I liked both. Black beans were hearty, the salad was flavorful with crunchy pumpkin seeds and cotija cheese. The rice was like a fried rice, a bit salty, but so good with the red sauce that had made its way there. ENCHILADAS AL PASTOR: Red sauce enveloped the hearty al pastor chunks in the enchilada. I tried some of this dish and it was also very good. FLAUTAS: 4 crispy chicken taquitos dressed up with guac, cheese, sour cream, tomatillo and pico de gallo and lettuce. Overall, we enjoyed our food and service was great. If you're passing by wondering whether it's worth trying, stop by and give it a try.

    Burrito de Camarones (shrimp) at $13.99

    I'm caught in a busy day and wanted to get something delivered for dinner. Mi Casa Cafe caught my eye (thanks, Yelp!!). The order came with a small bag of chips and salsa. Everything was packaged and delivered with care. Burrito de camarones at $13.99 The yellow bell peppers added a nice sweetness to the bite. The shrimp was grilled nicely with the peppers and onions, but lacked seasoning. El burrito Del Mar at $18.00 I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a wow moment when I opened the container. The shrimp and crab was on top of the burrito. Inside was white rice, beans, and guac. All the excitement was on the outside. The shrimp was over cooked and not seasoned. In both burritos, the white rice inside was plain and boring. They were generous with guacamole in the burritos so that made up for the rice. Either way, it was tasty and I didn't have to make it.

    Best place I've been in a long while. Great food Great customer service Great ambiance A little on the pricy side but it's totally worth it. I will be back!

    Got ripped off here! Ordered a chicken super burrito. While waiting I was brought chips & salsa. When the bill arrived I was surprised to see a $3 charge for the chips & salsa and $1 credit card processing fee, both a first for me. Visa charges merchants less than 2.5%, why would they charge me what comes out to 6.5% and not disclose there would be a charge if I used my credit card (I had cash)? Why didn't they disclose anywhere (menu, sign on the wall, THE SERVER) that I would be charged $3 for a small portion of chips & salsa? Aside from that, something seemed off when I only got the restaurant reciept copy to fill out. When I asked for customer receipt copy, they gave me a different receipt with the total without the line item charges of the above mentioned. Upon insisting on getting the same reciept, they finally provided it (see attached). When I confronted them about these lack of disclosures, I was told their new menu would state there will be charges. BTW, the burrito was nothing special, definitely not worth $11.50. I hope that extra $4 was worth it because not only will I never be back, I'll be sure to warn everyone to stay clear, like I'm doing here.

    Service is great. Ambiance is great. Family style seating with bar and bar seats. I have been here twice. Service is great and the food is amazing. I have ordered the Taco Salad on both visits. Beams are great steak in juicy and tender. COKE in a bottle.

    Camarones appetizer - grilled in a spicy, tangy sauce

    The air was awful in Novato, so we decided to strike out south to find good food and cleaner air. What a pleasant surprise to find Mi Casa tucked away in the 'contractor' area of San Rafael off DuBois. The menu is very impressive - it was hard to decide exactly what to have! Although we had a short wait for a table outdoors it was well worth it. My pollo asado plate was fragrant, done perfectly, and the rice, beans, and salad that came with were all fresh. My wife's shrimp appetizer plate was loaded with fruit and veggies which really went well with the seafood flavors. She ordered it spicy, and it certainly was! Lots of black pepper really gave it a nice zing. The staff was incredibly attentive - i'll bet they checked on us at least 10 times during our lunch to ensure things were OK (they were OK). My only reason for giving four and not five stars is really pandemic related - the outdoor seating leaves you right in the parking lot, with vehicles coming perilously close to the tables (and each other), and some of the patrons of the other shops in this small strip mall must be deaf, based on the volume their car radios were cranked up to. Anyway, if you're in south San Rafael, looking for some AUTHENTIC mexican food - this is the place. I think we were the only non-latinos in the whole place the entire time we were there - and that's a good thing :) So great menu, tasty food, good portions, attentive staff - four solid stars.

That said, I've been here twice and unfortunately had the same experience both times. The first visit, I ordered a regular chicken burrito, and it was pretty bland. I figured it might have just been an off day, so I gave them another try and ordered a super burrito the second time. Sadly, it was also bland--even with sour cream and guacamole, which I didn't really see or taste. Their burritos are long but not very thick, and flavor-wise they just didn't hit for me. I was hoping for something more seasoned and bold. I truly hope this is taken as constructive feedback, because I do want local spots like this to succeed. The service is good, and the people are kind--it's just the food that needs more flavor. Unfortunately, based on my experiences, I can't recommend it and probably won't be returning, but I wish them the best and hope they continue improving.

This spot seems more of a tequila bar that serves food rather than a restaurant setting. For food, we ordered the fish tacos, shrimp ceviche and taquitos. Their fish tacos were good! That green salsa (avocado/chiles) that comes with it was very spicy. Shrimp ceviche on the other hand was whole pieces of cooked shrimp halved lengthwise with cut up avocado and cucumber. I have had better. The taquitos were okay, the exterior tortillas were a bit overcooked. Was impressed with the selection of tequilas however. Would recommend the anejo flight. I'm not a huge tequila expert, but discovered that I like El Tesoro Anejo, very smooth! Service was attentive and our server went out of his way to explain the difference between the various flights. I would come back to try the tequila again for sure!

Now, it looks like every other restaurant in Marin. The drinks are still great and that green ghost pepper salsa is fire. Pixels next door is fun for tipsy gaming.

I went in and there was a bit of a line but the staff took orders and got the food out very quickly. Well run operation for sure. The inside was clean and as soon as a table finished it was immediately bussed and cleaned. I like that they had a open cooking area so you can see how they prep all the orders. I ordered a Carnitas Super Burrito and 3 Pastor Soft Tacos, I liked the complimentary salsa bar which had a few different pickled items, red and green salsa's along with chips. The Carnitas Burrito was good, the mix of the sour cream, guacamole, beans and rice with the salsa gave it good amount of flavor. My only issue was the Carnitas was a bit dry and chewy and was mostly just salty in flavor. Still Tasted ok but it could of been great if they gave a bit more love to the Carnitas. Feels like it was on the flat top to long. The Pastor Tacos were good as well, The onions, cilantro, and salsa they put on the the taco's was a good combination. The Pastor was seasoned good and had a nice spice level to it with a bit of sweetness. My only issue was that the Pastor like the Carnitas was tough and dry. Overall I liked the food and the price for what you get is a good deal for sure, just wished the Carnitas and Pastor were prepared a differently as it would have been a 5/5.
