Everything at Mi Casita is amazing! They have fantastic food, great service and reasonable prices. I highly recommend!

Fantastic place in Chester! I try to go there everytime I'm in the area (a few times every year). Food is excellent. They can make whatever you want, from the most authentic, to the most palatable for anyone from anywhere. The folks who work there are always friendly and welcoming. And they have an awesome outdoor patio. Five stars for Chester; four stars because well, you know, it's a long way from a population that thrives on this kind of food and its subtleties. I'm glad you're there Mi Casita! See you next time... read more

All four of our meals were tasty and the portion sizes were very generous. Our server was very kind and took care of us. If we're ever in Chester again, we'll eat here again. read more

Everything about this place is so mid. The food, the service, the menu items, the decor...all sooo mid. I've been here a few times in the last year and my belly was never satisfied. If you love Mexican food you really need to skip this place. read more

We had gone to Lassen Volcanic National Park and found this restaurant in Chester. There were lots of tables- thankfully not full on a weeknight. Clean and decorated nicely. The wait staff were super friendly and attentive. Today on top of everything. The food came out quickly and was so tasty. We were stuffed when we left. If you happen through the little town, I'd recommend Mi Casita. read more

Spicy and tasty food is all that matters. Try out this place as a localite or tourist. The ambiance is not the greatest but the food is all that counts. That does it's job. read more

We brought our entire softball and baseball teams here tonight after our games. We called in our order this afternoon and the staff at Mi Casita went above and beyond to make sure our teams were fed in a timely and hospitable manner! They were flexible (softball's game ended first so they got there before baseball), patient and gracious. They made us feel at home and checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed! Thank you La Casita! Muchísimas Gracias ! read more

Wow! Very few choices to eat in Chester CA, near Lake Almanor. We found a gem in Mi Casita. The food is awesome. Really good and Flavorful! The service was decent- it took awhile to get water and our order- but once it got rolling--wow- incredible. Never an empty glass or chip and salsa Bowl. The prices are what you expect for the location. read more

See all

I came with mom and got the crispy tacos very good for the area! Service is a little slow but than again we are on vacation Not a big deal! And nice sangria for a hot day read more

Mi Casita - a man and a woman sitting at a table with plates of food - Mexican Near Me - Chester, California

Not safe for Gluten Free!! It's a cute little place and they were friendly. Everyone except us enjoyed their meals, hence the single star. My husband who has Celiac and I decided to share an order of chicken fajitas. I informed the waitress that my husband has to be gluten free. When our food was delivered, the fajitas had some sort of glaze on them, so I stopped another waitress who was nearby and asked what it was. She informed me that is it TERIYAKI!! First, WTF is teriyaki sauce doing in a Mexican restaurant?? Second, it's darn sure not gluten free. I told her that my husband cannot eat that and her response was that the menu stated it had teriyaki sauce so they weren't going to do anything to make it right. I will admit I didn't read the menu thoroughly, but I did tell our waitress that our food needed to be gluten free and she acknowledged me. She also spoke perfect English so I know it was not a communication issue. So we paid $30 for a plate of fajitas and my husband had to eat two tortillas filled with rice and beans for lunch. Teriyaki on fajitas is a first for me.... I'll be sure to read the menu every place I go now because of this experience. Ugh. read more

Great service and food. I grew up in the area and I can say by far one of the best places in town.

Lake life is great! Keep that in mind. Our weekend getaway to Lake Almanor was amazing...the lake is great! Mind you, it's a small town so I really wasn't there to dine and be captivated by cuisine. For starters, the chips and salsa were ok...chips were thick and not really fresh tasting, and the salsa tasted like it came from a Pace jar. That's ok...the lake is great! Margaritas? Yes please! Wait...is there alcohol in this pitcher? They were very mild, and no, I wasn't expecting top shelf, but something with a little more zing would have been nice. My shredded chicken enchilada (wet) was ok, and I wish it was better than that, but hey, the lake was great! The service was ok as well, and I know that seems to be the theme for this review and I truly wish I could give it a better rating, but to be fair, it was truly just that. If you are just looking to replenish the food intake then yes, it's just fine, but don't expect anything more than that. Will I be back? I'm sure I will, as long as the lake is still there! Cheers! read more

Not many choices in Chester, especially after summer and during Covid. We had two basic combinations that were filling but unremarkable. Not a lot of flavor. They do have outdoor seating, but we ordered to go. Big negative for us, servers did not wear masks. read more

Mi Casita - Happy with today's hiking at Lassen! Cheers! - Mexican Near Me - Chester, California

Decent little Mexican food joint in the small town of Chester. Small family restaurant feel. Food was decent, would go again.

The food is greatSteak Fajita Plates but the service is terrible! I've been three times and had bad service every time.....the waitress takes your order, she brings drinks then the food......you will not see her again. She goes in the back and every time I've had to go looking for her just to pay. Basic Mexican food ambiance as the other small Mexican eateries I've been to. Although the furniture is run down pretty badly. Don't sit in a booth the springs are shot and you sit way down. read more

Best Chile rellano!! The plates are huge you definitely leave full and happy. Worth the drive. read more

Food was lovely, pretty standard Tex Mex. Service was great -- our server was very kind and helpful in accommodating dietary needs. Good time! read more

Limited vegetarian options, food tasted very bland and tostada was too oily and almost inedible due to that. We ended up wasting a lot of food. Service was fast and staff was friendly. read more

Worst $20 burrito I ever had. Would definitely recommend Carlos or Burros and Churros instead.

Burrito was ok... Chips and salsa could use some work... Other than that, services was good. 2 stars is just to leave room for some improvements... read more

Mi Casita - California burrito - Mexican Near Me - Chester, California

The last few years their food, although American style Mexican, has been amazing! Friendly service, clean and delicious food!

The Food was bland and salsa seemed canned waitress was friendly though but not traditional Mexican food.

Most people don't know about this but the ortega chile cheeseburger at Mi Casita is objectively the best burger in Chester. Their taco salad is also highly recommended by townies. This is Americanized Mexican food adapted to local tastes so don't go in there with the wrong expectations and you will do just fine! read more

This is one of the worst Mexican restaurant establishment that I have ever gone to. I live in Reno Nevada I come to Chester to see my sister we've eaten there twice. The first time was OK so we went back again the salsa sucked you could tell it came out of a can. It was all chunks of tomatoes, Riano was just horrified you don't use yellow cheese and a chili Riano the service was really bad. The lady there just was not pleasant and then we heard her go in the back in the kitchen talking about me and my sister and the Cook in the dishwasher came out with staring at usvery uncomfortable very bad service very bad establishment I've eaten in Reno and Carson City at these places restaurants and they were really good. This one is the worst food I've ever had in my life I'd rather do not recommend it. Reno Nevada. read more

My expectations must have been too high. My dad, brother, and I came to pick up some dinner after a day at Lassen. We ordered the Chile Relleno Ranchero, Shrimp in Garlic sauce, Chicken Fajitas, and Fiesta Chicken Salad. We ordered with the server who was attentive and kind and even offered us chips and salsa as we waited for our food to be prepared. The wait was to be 20 minutes which was to be expected. All but the chicken salad came with beans and rice. The rice was disappointing - honestly one of my favorite parts of any Mexican dish. It was dry, lacked flavor, and was clumpy. The beans were good. The shrimp were so dry. I can understand that there isn't access to fresh shrimp around here but even freezer shrimp shouldn't be cooked beyond repair like this. The Chile Relleno was weirdly greasy and watery at the same time. (The garlic sauce the shrimp came in faced this problem as well). The chicken fajitas dish was literally the Fiesta Chicken salad but in a flour tortilla. In both dishes, the chicken was dry and too salty. Best part of it all, each of these dishes ranged from $12-14. No complaints at all on the service, but man the food was so mediocre. Highly recommend going somewhere else. read more

What a charming little place. A family owned and run establishment, the chef came out to greet us. Nice touch! I had the chile reanos -- home made and excellent. My husband had Huevos Ranchero -- terrific. The salsa was clearly house made -- fresh cilantro and just the right amount of heat. Love it! read more

Great place food was delicious nice and peaceful 5 stars first meal also waitress amazing and very nice food Amazing

I came in with a party of 14. It was 35 degrees outside and I asked for a cup of coffee. There was none made and the waitress refused to make a pot. It was one of 2 places open, otherwise I would have left. My grandson ordered a corndog, 9 bucks and it was a deep-fried foster farms chicken corndog. I ordered carne asada tacos, couldn't eat more than a couple bites, dried out tasteless meat. My wife ordered a chicken fiesta salad and it too was dried out meat, hard to swallow. We won't be back. It was the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. read more

The outside setting was really nice, the waitress was also pleasant. The food had NO FLAVOR. I normally don't use salt but I had to definitely ask the waitress for some salt. The meat rice and beans even the salsa had no flavor!! The prices are very high!!!! 5.50 for 1 beer!! For my husband and I the total was over 50.00!! read more

Visited for the first time yesterday ... Unfortunately, food poisoning set in that evening.

*****Keep Driving!!!!****** My family ate there this evening and unfortunately can't give a positive about any of our experience. *food was very bland *no water was served or offered *THE MARGARITAS ARENT REAL, THEY ARE MADE FROM WINE *I ordered a taco salad, it didn't come with tomatoes or the guacamole it was supposed to. When I asked about the guacamole our server said they were out... not 2 mins later a different server brought a large serving to the table behind us. *husbands fish tacos were horrible and fish was burnt. *outside seating only (which is to be expected during this time) but THE FLYS WERE SO SO BAD that you couldn't even try to "enjoy" your meal. *had to ask a server (ours was gone) for a check. And last but not least I'm writing this review approx 2 hrs after our meal and I am now sick. Do yourself a favor and go to the market down the street and grab a rotisserie chicken and a salad and have a picnic on the lake. read more

Bagged chips. Guac from a bucket. Average food at outrageous prices. Service is good, so I guess its not all bad read more

The Good: The California burrito as well as the steak Fajita plates were completely unexpectedly delicious beyond what we would expect from a sleepy town Mexican restaurant. Great marinade and every bite was like the first and just as enjoyable. The Bad: No Military/Law-Enforcement/Fire Fighter Discount and when I asked the manager as to why, all I got was an ignorant smile and some awkwardness after the fact. read more

Everything tastes like it came out of a can. Other Mexican restaurants chop fresh tomatoes, onions and peppers for the salsa but this place has salsa that tastes like stewed tomatoes. The place was not busy the night we were in there but the wait staff never returned to bring more drinks - we had to hunt them down. The chicken in my burrito tasted old and dry. I won't be returning. read more

Wow! Had the sizzling Fajitas and it was really good. Cooked to perfection and well seasoned. Service was very friendly and everything was cooked to order. Very nice! read more

Only Mexican Restaurant in Chester, too bad. Stopped for lunch on Dad's Day last month, disappointing. No flavor, watered down salsas, chips had no flavor, $34.00 for a simple lunch. We felt sorry for the lone waitress doing her best to cover inside and outside seating. From talking to some local store owners afterward they say it used to be worth the money. Find another place in town or keep driving....... read more

We have been coming to Lake Almanor for five years now and for some reason never tried this place until recently. Maybe because it is all the way at the other end of Chester from things like the Holiday Market etc. that we frequent. So last Saturday we were looking for something different and gave this place a try. Service was fast and friendly and they check on us several times. It was lunch time and we had things to do so did not partake of the margaritas so cannot report on those but maybe next time. Here is what you need to know about this place. The portions are huge! So when you order that chile Colorado burrito a la carte thinking you are going to keep the portion small don't be fooled. My burrito was HUGE and easily made two meals (my friend scarfed the remaining portion down the following day so I would say it was a hit for both of us). The menu had a lot of variety to choose from. It was odd that they did not give chips and salsa. First Mexican restaurant that I can remember that didn't. But will still come back here. Just be prepared for the take out box you will need it. read more
