Mi Casita

I would definitely try this restaurant again, but actually go inside and sit down. This was the…read morefirst time I ever saw a drive thru Mexican restaurant which is a great idea...but you need to make sure that you check your order before leaving out. And I think that is the issue with most drive there's because 80% of the times something either will be missing or messed up. And once you leave out most of us including myself will not go back to the restaurant to get what was missing or messed up. So my order was a few different tacos and what I really loved was that you could order margaritas to go. When I got home unfortunately there was no cheeses that's was suppose to have been included. I know traditionally cheese really is not put on tacos...but this is Tex-Mex and I wanted that cheese. Especially since I am a cheese lover. They get a solid 3.5 stars and maybe when I go inside to sit they can redeem themselves for me and I'll up the stars.

El Sombrero - ¡Muy Bueno!…read more What an incredible find! We're big fans of carnitas, and for years our favorite was Mercado Juarez in Arlington, Texas--we hadn't found anything that even came close after moving to East Texas five years ago. That changed tonight. We decided to try El Sombrero, and the carnitas were absolutely outstanding--honestly, even better than Mercado Juarez! The flavor, tenderness, and overall quality were just amazing. We can't say enough good things about this place. It's safe to say we've officially found our go-to Mexican restaurant in East Texas!

Longview and it's surrounding towns had been without electricity for 3 to 4 days. There were two employees working inside. It was so hot in there that I had to go to my car to sit and wait for my food. These two employees were working their tails off in a kitchen inside of the building with no air conditioner I wouldn't have known if I didn't ask them why it was so hot inside. I have a hard time getting behind and /or supporting any business who cares so little about their employees that they're willing for them to have a heat stroke to have their business open . Besides, who in the hell wants to go inside of a building and eat Mexican food in the heat? hopefully in the future, you'll treat your employees better then I might consider coming back. Why is it that every time fast food places offer cold, freeze drinks, They never have them? Lol.

This review is for your TACO TRUCK catering. The Mi Casita Taco Truck catered at a wedding I attended recently. The staff (later found out it was the owner) was quite RUDE - to guests and the paying customer. The owner of the truck asked inappropriate questions to female guests, and about female guests (yes, sexually inappropriate). Since there were cops, cowboys, and oilmen at this event, he is extremely lucky that he didn't have to deal with them. The job was bid, and paid for, 150 guests. The owner told people helping that he only had food for 125. Then he was very impatient and rude about getting paid. This saddens me because their food is good. But it doesn't make up for this kind of behavior. There are too many other options in Longview to put up with this kind of service. read more

I have been a customer of Mi Casita's since 2018. Breakfast tacos are awesome! The ladies know me well by now and often have my order ready by the time I get to the window. (There are advantages to always ordering the same thing.) I have never been disappointed with anything I've tried, but I always go back to the same thing - steak, egg and potato taco. There have been occasions where I ate from their food truck. Their chicken street tacos are outstanding! I have recommended Mi Casita's to numerous people and will continue to do so. read more

We were passing through and saw the great reviews so wanted to try it out. This place is not fancy at all but we loved it!! I enjoyed their salsa bar with warm chips. You serve yourself on this and drinks so that is a plus for me. The salsa is spicy but they have mild options as well. I had the blackened fish tacos and my husband had the Chuck Norris burrito and street tacos. Everything was excellent and everyone is friendly here. We will come back!! read more

It's very easy for Larry and I to leave the dealership and run to get s quick bite to eat! Can be in and out in under half an hour!

If you don't believe it, you can watch it being done behind a glass just off the lobby. It's served on a plate, with grilled onions, a hot pepper, and a few slices of lime. Bean (not re-fried, but real beans) and rice are available as a side. Nothing fancy about this place, as David H, pointed out, but the food is front and center, as it should be. It's on the south side of Longview. At lunch half the patrons first language probably isn't English. At dinner, the percentage is probably a good bit higher. But I've always been made to feel welcome and I don't speak a lick of Spanish. The waitstaff has always spoken good English. The restaurant also seems to do a decent take out business, and once you try the chicken, you'll understand why. The flan is pretty good, too.
