Brought my husband here for an early dinner he had never been, and the food did not disappoint. We both loved it.

Been here a couple times and the atmosphere is light and fun. I usually am seated at the bar and love the serve yourself chip area. Works great when you have a bigger party. I just went to lunch over the weekend and it was a great choice. I had their veggie side and I can say I was pleasantly surprised. It was not what I was expecting but it is a must try. I've had Shasta as a server a couple of times and I LOVE her. She is friendly and funny. She won't lead you astray with food recommendations and she will be honest when you ask her for a recommendation. This is definitely a place I will continue to frequent. read more

I grew up on @MexiCasa in Anaheim. The food was hearty, unbelievably cheesy, perfectly greasy and plain delicious. Mi Casa is the same - only better - and I was lucky to find it 25+ years ago when they still had Theek on the menu (ask a server). The big difference - and much the same - between the two is atmosphere. Mi Casa is more homey and warm. It has not changed at all since my hubby (then bf) and I started coming here. We usually plant ourselves in the bar, grab our own chips and salsa from the chip bar and settle into an old red vinyl booth. It's comfortable, familiar and happy. The bartenders are always nice and know how to pour a drink worthy of the Burro Room name. The food is delicious but not for the faint of heart. Prepare yourself for your abuelas food, full of cheese and love. Order the shredded beef taco or the nachos, you will not be disappointed. read more

Delivery order came in with the two combo plate of pork tamale and the colorado enchilada. Rice and beans were both very well seasoned. Enchilada sauce was delicious and blended well with the plate. Tamale was a little dry but a few spoonfuls of that enchilada sauce made it even better. The gooey cheese on everything was amazing and reminded me much of the good old school Mexican restaurants that provide you with those extra big portions without losing on the flavor. Really enjoyed the food. Definitely recommend and will be back. read more

Old school Mexican food in the best way possible. I'm sure most of the customers have been coming here for a really long time and for good reason. The food is freshly made, the menu has lots of great items and the service is excellent. Be prepared to wait a bit to get in, especially on a Friday or Saturday, but it's not crazy long, maybe 30 minutes or so. You can get a drink from the bar if you like or spend your time checking out the menu and trying to figure out what to get. It doesn't matter what you order...it will be delicious and too much to eat, unless you haven't eaten all day. read more

I don't know what seasoning they add but holy cow I'm obsessed with it..Do yourself a favor and go try it for yourself you won't be disappointed read more

Love this place. Food good, portions large, plates always crazy hot. This is a locals place that's been thriving for decades. Always treated like family here. Love it read more

The staff was amazing. Saturday night was very crowded and the hostess made us feel important and wanted. Once seated the wait staff hustled and almost ran to get us, pitchers of margaritas and enchiladas! They worked together as a team and made our meal a pleasure! Great ambiance, great staff, great restaurant! read more

Meadow helped me out immensely. She is the definition of customer service even at last minute on a Saturday night. Love her and an absolute delight to handle matters over the phone with. Mi Casa is lucky to have her read more

Love this place. Ryan always has new specialty items to try on the menu .The Pastor quesadilla is one of the newest items. So good! Mariella, Shasta and Bri run the bar like no other servers could! Always on top of everything. I look forward to coming here once a week. The Chili Verde is great and they will do their tacos with it if you ask. Margaritas are always spot on too. Wife loves the ground beef tacos. read more

Mi Casa is the best if you are really hungry. We have had many, many dinners after youth sports. Am loving the corn salad which has only appeared in the last few years. read more

This was by far the best Mexican food of my entire existence. I got the fire ass carne asada quesadilla and my cousins ordered the Chile relleno,, Chile verde enchilada, chicken taco, beef taco, burrito, chips and salsa. I had a bite of everything and it was like a smorgasbord of heavenly flavor. AND WE GOT IT DELIVERED. these days it's tough for food to taste good when it's a car ride away but this place survived and thrived. We on. read more

Service is Great in the bar area tender and servers are wonderful. Love Juan the bar tender. Food is really good also

We had our party catered for the first time and it was wonderful. The Taco platters were great with great choices of sides. And they surprised us with this oozing caramel churros. We didn't need anything else and everyone loved it. The staff were ready with smiles when we picked up the food, they were ON TIME. Thanks again Ryan and Shasta for making sure that we are taken care of. Thanks Juan for keeping us entertained at the bar. Best service by far. Shout out to Brie and Christian as well, who are all smiles even when they are hustling. read more

I've been coming here for years. It's always been my favorite Mexican restaurant in OC. I have probably been 50+ times and I'm sad to say I will probably never go back. A friend and myself went this past Tuesday after a long day of work. It was awful. It's like it was everyone's first night or something. The Margarita's tasted like vodka sodas. I mean real bad, but wouldn't write a review on them. It was the food. Tortilla soup was cold, the cheese in my burrito wasn't melted, but the lettuce was soggy. And to top of off , there was a huge black hair in the chips. We spoke to the "manager" who literally was a Man who could have cared less. We still payed bill, no apologies or offers. It's enough for me not to go back. Major bummer read more

The service I was given here was terrible. this used to be a family owned business and I used to love going here, I don't look forward to it at all anymore. I came in to pick up some lunch and the worker Ryan was so rude. he dismissed me and just walked away and forgot I was even there. when he finally gave me my food the drinks were literally half filled. so I politely asked to get them filled all the way and he just set them down on the counter and left me sitting there for 15 minutes. So I went up to another worker, who is supposedly his wife, and asked for her to help me since he was being very rude. she asked me what the drinks were and scoffed, throwing her hands down dramatically. she snatched the drinks and walked away while saying to her husband "she's saying you're being rude, Ryan" and he rolled his eyes. I've never been treated so rudely at a restaurant before just for being polite and wanting what I paid for. I don't know what happened to Mi Casa but I'm very disappointed. read more

The service was excellent!! The set up inside is very rustic. Gives you an old El Paso theme. The guacamole was delicious!

We went to lunch on New Year's Day. I've always wanted to try this place and the fact that it was open and practicing safe Covid standards was wonderful! We got sun and a great dining experience! The server was professional, kind and attentive. The Cadillac margarita was so good my husband had two! I enjoyed the house margarita. This is a fabulous place for kids too! They had a fun activity that kept our elementary aged kids busy being creative for our whole meal. Three/Four members of our family are gluten free so I was glad they have a gluten free menu, which we ordered from, but were also very specific as to the need for corn tortillas, specific sauces,etc. I had the spinach enchiladas, which if you're gluten free is really special- most restaurants don't make their enchiladas gluten free (but they also let you know their enchilada sauce has gluten) and I had mine with their gluten free green sauce. It was very tasty and spicy (I think it cleared my sinuses). One of my kids got the adult chicken tacos. They were so full and delicious I couldn't but finish my child's meal! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we'll be back! read more

I have gone to Mi Casa forever. I love their food. I would normally give them a 5 star rating, however, this time I was so disappointed. They open at 11:30 and I was second in-line. I noticed that the two women in front of me pushing a dog buggy with a medium size dog. The hostess took them to a table. I asked the hostess why do they let dogs in there restaurant. She said because she was sure that if she asked they would say it was a service dog. I said it didn't even have a service dog sweater on. I said well ask them for the service dog papers and she said she wasn't allowed to. I just don't understand why dogs are allowed inside an establishment that serves food. Outside is different. Will most likely not recommend or eat at mi casa again. read more

My run of 5 star restaurants comes to an end . Gave this place two stars only because the waitress was nice. Ordered fajitas and its was about 2lbs of bell peppers and onions and about 5 thinly sliced pieces of steak. It was way over cooked and not to mention over priced. read more

Mi Casa - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican food, stay as far away from here as possible. The salsas taste like ketchup, the food is so bland, nothing about it is "Mexican", the food has a sweet taste to it as if you're eating a donut. It's more Americanized than it is mexican food. You can't just throw melted marble cheese on your whole menu and call it mexican, this place was just a Taco Bell on steroids. As a mexican I was let down immensely, and out $60. Didn't want to cause a scene so I took 2 bites from that god forsaken drunken burrito and hope I can digest it as fast as possible and expel it from my body ASAP. read more

We love Mi Casa as the food is good, the service is good, and the chips and salsa are to die for. I understand the inside may look weathered, but invest in good food products and not worry about the interior so much. El Torito has great interiors, but the food isn't close to how good Mi Casa is. read more

Love mi Casa. Generous servings, great food and great happy hour. Servers are awesome too!

Love this place ! Best Mexican food in town. Huge portions, great service. I have been coming to Mi Casa since it's inception and will always frequent this great restaurant. You can count on the food to taste fantastic with fresh hot chips and salsa being refilled throughout you meal without asking or waiting. Service is quick and efficient and the bar is also a great option if you want to catch a game while dining. Love that they have pretty much kept to the same traditional menu and update occasionally. read more

The best ground beef taco of any place. It's hard to find a restaurant that makes ground beef tacos in the first place. Most Mexican restaurants only have the can spreader beef tacos. I've been coming to this restaurant for over 25 years and it's constantly good. read more

I really wanted to like Mi Casa since I live close by, but it was very disappointing. I got the California burrito to go, and for over $15 I expected this thing to be giant! Unfortunately, it was an average sized burrito. The burrito was cold when I was eating it, and I thought that I had just waited too long to pick it up, but it was evident that the burrito had been cold when assembled because the cheese wasn't melted. My girlfriend got the chile verde. The pork had decent flavor, but there was no sauce at all. It was just a plate of cubed pork. Overall the food was edible but subpar. For a $30 dinner I expected much better. read more

It saddens me to write this. I moved out of the area 10 years ago and while in town briefly I was so looking forward to your special dinner. But, within the first few bites I found a blondish hair. Since I'm brunette I know it's not mine and it totally took my appetite away. Maybe it's a fluke but even so it's disgusting. read more

Well that is it , from rude bartenders , to sun service . Now trying to support our community we order To go from mi Casa and got a rock in our food . They dropped our food on the ground . Instead of re making it , they put it in the container and sent it home with us . From being rude to now trying to get us sick . It's too much . I don't know how you screw up rice and beans but you did . Enough is enough . In this sensitive time to serve someone contaminated food , also for the facility to have only been sterilized in September . Disappointing to say the least . When i call at 8:30 to say something they don't pick up. Never returning read more

Always our go to place for Mexican food. We've been going there since 1972 and have never been disappointed.

Meeeehhhh. Margaritas are just OK, $20 for a pitcher during happy hour is a good price. Food is pretty bad though. I got the chili verde and my pork was so tough and the chili was so watery thin. Service could also be better, we had to ask for extra napkins, limes, etc, several times before we actually got things. Waters never got refilled. 1 hour before closing they started giving us boxes and the check without us asking, basically trying to kick us out. read more

It's greasy Mexican food. The wait on a Friday night was about 30 minutes+. I ordered the shredded beef enchilada combo plate. I should have stuck with one enchilada but after waiting all that time, I ordered two because of the hunger pangs in my stomach. The food was surprisingly tasty but covered in melted cheese and probably made with lard. Not that I'm complaining, but it was a huge portion. I also asked for a pineapple express margarita, which was thankfully strong. Service was ok. I thought that leaving a pitcher of water at the table was very Korean BBQ of them. The waitress was amiable and prompt. The booth, we were seated at, was small and set next to the bathrooms. The bathrooms lack ventilation so you might want to avoid them. Decent food but if you like cheese, you're going to love this place. read more

A divey little family-friendly Mexican food restaurant located in a strip mall is just what we wanted...only we didn't expect it to be sooo divey. This place needs a bit of a face-lift and so do the restrooms-yucky old and smelly. We walked in excited to enjoy some homestyle food but imagine what a bummer it was when the hostess greeted us like a zombie! What a buzz-kill. No eye contact, no smile, no greeting. Boo!! C'mon now, welcome your customers-put them in a happy mood to order lots of food and drinks!! We could have went anywhere to eat. Our waitress...another buzz-kill was like "Flo" only without the Southern accent. As a matter of fact I think she was more like Alice-hard-edged and bored. But... she was attentive to our needs and our order came out quick. The warm crispy chips and salsa were tasty and offered lots of flavor. Bonus? They refreshed the chips after we gobbled them down. I was hoping the food would at least be tasty and thank goodness it was. The fluffy rice and the creamy re-fried beans tasted homemade and you get generous portions. My red chili cheese filled enchiladas were good. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mi-casa-mexican-restaurant-and-bar-costa-mesa-3?userid=uEvusDwoSymbJJ0auR3muQ#isjm-7FrJYFSl49xdLpLuA The food is not bad for "typical" Mexican food, but with the service and ambiance falling apart they only earned 3-stars from me. Hopefully they'll give this place a good scrubbin' because it's in need of some sparkle and maybe they'll find a cheerful hostess and wait staff. read more

Mi Casa - Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

After a failed attempt at fish 'n' chips, we landed anchor at Mi Casa. It was a busy night but I have a problem with menus and water already at my table. Who knows who drank my water before me? How long has it been sitting there? Does it have bugs and dust mites floating in it? So not cool. And what was up with our waitress? 80's rewind? Big hair, spandex? Crazy. We ordered up the combos. The burrito combo for my partner in crime Jay Sharky and a chicken taco and enchilada for me. Both plates were covered in cheese and I love my cheese but I don't like it to the point where it's melted and tastes like plastic coating and ruins the flavor of my dish. And the chicken. Let's not get started but that's what Yelp is for right? The good, bad, and ugly? So yeah, extra crispy and fried till it was burnt. Yeah, I don't like salmonella for a side dish either but don't burn my chicken. Please. Mi Casa this will probably be my last stop. Farewell. read more
