Visited 3/10/2022 Back again for the best Mexican Food in Brawley. The service is fantastic with it being a family run and owned with a super welcoming atmosphere. With a very friendly menu for adults as well as children and your selection with something for everyone. Combo lunches and dinners are extremely good with plenty of food to go around. This is also the best breakfast in Brawley. I used to go to go to another local favorite by the name of Brownies For breakfast but Quality has dropped a bit over there. Virginias is my go to breakfast place with breakfast being served all day. Just want to thank Virginia and her daughters for a very pleasant experience. Thanks Ladies.
We've been in the area for a few years now and have wanted to try out Virginia's Casita. But try as we might we were never able to find it. Finally one Saturday DH and I were on a mission. After turning into a parking lot that was for tenants of some apartments, behind some gorgeous shrubs and trees, we saw it! A pretty little corner unit with a generous and shady patio, with a neat as a pin interior with a very cute teacup motif. Virginia obviously takes great care and pride in her place. The food certainly reflects that. DH ordered Chile Colorado and for myself Chile Verde of course. Started with nice warm and crisp chips and salsa. Tasty without being too overpoweringly hot. Next up was a cup of Mexican chicken soup. Such simple ingredients that packaged a big punch. Followed up with our Chile plates. Generous portions of the best rice and beans I've ever had in the Imperial Valley. Very authentic. The meats were very tenter. Fork tenter actually. And the sauces were rich, flavorful and authentic in all respects. Brought just the right 'sheen' to my forehead! Service was wonderful. Felt like we were being taken care of by our favorite abuela. And pricing was very reasonable.
Amazing family run restaurant! They are just super nice and really feels authentic. I adore how they decorated the inside with teapots. My favorite is really the chicken noodle soup as it's flavorful and just yummy!
Great place , hidden in a strip mall in a bit of a seedy area .. when you walk in has a very Mexican feel , the staff and patrons were all very friendly , I had the huevos rancheros which was excellent , wife had chiliquilles the meal comes wit a bowl of a light broth noodle soup, virgina waited on us and was very polite and accommodating,
We got a warm welcome when we enter. The owner greeted us. We were a party of 8 and they made sure we all sat together. The place has a lot of plates in the walls, a lot of decorations everywhere. It kinda seems like you are in someone's home. Food wise, not the best! The chips and salsa they first give you are store bought. The orange juice taste that is from the gallon jar. Husband did enjoy the ice coffee (the only thing that tasted ok). The French toast where just toasted bread with cinnamon taste. They got also got bacon, it was over cook. My burrito wasn't the best, only nopales with egg, no salsa or avocado just plain no seasoning. The avocado toast was ok, cannot go wrong with avocado, but half an avocado for each bread isn't enough. My brother in law got the chilaquiles, same chips and salsa as they serve us at the beginning, not the best. Please note, if you use their cup they will charge $1 so just get a to go cup.
If you can find this place it's a fun breakfast. The entrance is off of a parking lot /alleyway. It's in the back of a big building just off of main Street. The French toast was excellent with eggs and with crisp bacon. Biscuits and gravy were meaty and creamy and the biscuits were super soft. Chile verde omelet was excellent with big chunks of pork not too spicy. The steak potato omelette was fun. Nice mix of vegetables and pieces of steak and a red sauce. Comes with some really creamy beans and a side of potatoes. The service is great. I think the lady that owns the place comes out and talks to me she brought around a soup. I'm not sure how you have soup for breakfast but we ate it and it was delicious tomatoe. They refilled my iced tea when it got near the bottom. All smiles, really friendly, and reasonably priced. Parking is easy in the parking lot on the side and the restrooms were very clean.
I spend 8-10 weeks in Brawley every year for work and this place is my favorite thing about it. The food is so good. The owners are so sweet. Just the best place i wish I they were in Phoenix so I could eat here year round.
Brawley a very hot place in the summer. Small town and looks like an old town. Well the city has many places to dine in and i looked up a mexican restaurant and came across Virginia's casita. I noticed right away it had sooo many 5 star reviews so i had to try it. At first we stood there waiting to be seated and Virginia had not noticed us standing there as she attended things around and was cleaning...but an employee who works there noticed us standing and waiting and at the same time talking to Virginia as she sipped on her refreshment and not once mentioned to Virginia "you got customers" since Virginia did not notice we were there waiting. Once Virginia noticed us she apologized and stated she did not see us come in and this was true but her employee did. Once seated we were given chips and salsa and i have to be honest here ..the chips did have a mix of stale and crunchy chips. salsa was good. I love Aguas and we were given sample which was nice and that to me was the best. Freshly made and very delicious and refreshing. i loved the Jamaica and they also had this Tropical one that was amazing. The menu was easy to read and i noticed on the back it is stated "aguas w/refill 4.95" and that i liked and cups were a good size and to get a refill was awesome. You get sopa de fidel along with your order and comes out before your order and the soup was nice. i enjoyed it. We ordered and we got a torta de carnitas and sopes. Sopes i was told they did not have that flavor that one enjoys when homemade but overall they were ok. My torta was good, i enjoyed it but the carnitas were more like chunks not pulled apart or shredded. But i had no problem with it just usually i get the meat pulled apart. my dish came with fried and they did not taste made from scratch they had ridges and seem like they came frozen but then just cooked and fried but they did taste good enough to eat :) so we finished and we were satisfied. and still enjoying our refreshments with "one" refill still to get keep in mind. Virginia has been in the business 50 years and is open from morning till 2pm. its good and many customers seem to love it and dine in and enjoy Virginias vibes. virginia is as sweet as they come. lovely and welcomes you and visits your table and ask how is everything and very warming. ok so she asked if we wanted a refill and we decided to ask for it on foam cup to go since we were done. Virginia said offcourse and got us our drinks on to go cups. We got up to pay with satisfaction on our tummys. Once Virginia went over the bill we noticed we were charged $20 for the drinks! we were shocked and asked why so much on drinks? Virginia stated because we got refills. And i quickly and nicely corrected her and said her menu has the drinks "with 1 refill". Virginia said yes but thats only if you drink your refill within the restaurant. I was again shocked she said that. We had told her before ordering we are new to city and it was our first time. Having said that i feel Virginia could have and should have said if we take the drinks to go she would have to charge us. But to me thats besides the point since a refill is a refill regardless u drink inside or to go. We were so good and happy and satisfied until the charge on the drinks being doubled. i explained and mentioned that i had no idea one gets charged to have then to go. Virginia just said i will refund just one then and i was not going to be negative or rude so i just said ok let me just pay the bill and we had only one refill removed which should have been both since being nee customers and was jot told that or displayed on the menu to advise customers that there free refills turn out to be charged if one takes it to go. Well our 5 star turned into 4 star due to this which being new customers we should have experience differently about the charging on drinks. Place is nice and has many dishes displayed and i do recommend this place highly but just be careful and "ask" about how charges work on refills or anything specifically :)
Went here for the first time and was welcomed. The decor is really cute and there's a lot to look at. I was with returning customers. So, it was really nice to have that warm welcome. All employees were so nice with smiles and laughter. There wasn't any room for bad vibes in there. The food is really good. Clean. I had breakfast burrito and biscuits and gravy. Really good food all around the table. The atmosphere was really good.
Omg.. cutest little place!! Came down to Brawley because I had court.. and after we got out we were STARVING! Looked for a good restaurant close by and this place popped up... read the reviews and decided to give it a try! **let me tell you we did not regret it, from the moment we entered, I fell in love with all the cute tea pots that surrounded the entire place, colorful tables and inviting feeling! We were greeted immediately, I believe the lady was the owner. . How did I figured it out?? She had a small and cute tea pot tattoo on the back of her neck!! CUTE!!! OK, NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FOOD!! MMMMMmm... delicious n spicy..so much flavor: Mexican Food.. We ordered drinks (horchata and ice tea) Chilaquiles and she offered us the soup of the day "sparagus" and it was delicious. ..and the chips and salsa were devoured quick..lol spicy too When our plate arrived, without tasting..our eyes were already savoring the chilaquiles,beans and eggs we were about to eat.. NOT DISAPPOINTED...!!!! I ATE EVERYTHING... NO ARGUMENT. .. I RECOMMEND IT 100% SERVICE, FEEL OF THE PLACE, THE FOOD! !! Would eat here again and again... I wouldn't doubt it if we came to Brawley again...

The service and promptness of our greeting were exceptionally welcoming. The distinctive teapot decorations create a truly homely atmosphere. The free fideo soup is not only unique but also delicious, setting the restaurant apart from others. The quality of your food is outstanding, and the pricing is unbeatable. Gracias. ChavaQ! read more

This place was delicious a little hole in the wall but well worth finding. I had carne en chile rojo with two over easy eggs with beans and a small chicken soup which was delicious! I drive a semi for a living and finding places where you can park the semi and delicious food is close to impossible, this place was perfect. As soon as I walked in it reminded me of my grandmothers place with a lot of beautiful mexican decorations. The owner Virginia is the sweetest lady you will ever come across. Right away she made me feel like I was family... I would not mind driving my Harley 3hrs plus To try another delicious dish. Thank you again for the delicious food will definitely stop by again. read more

Take your GPS readings with a grain of salt, as when I entered the address of this amazing restaurant, my GPS landed me at least a mile west, near the western outskirts of town, far from the actual destination. GPS doesn't seem to know much about "Main Street" in Brawley, as I just happen to know it's divided 'east" from "west" by 8th Street, also know as California State Highway 111. Virginia's Casita is located in back of the Cd. Plaza building, located at the intersection of 8th and Main Streets, in the "heart" of downtown Brawley. Forget your GPS, forget your street address, as you just want to park in back of Cd. Plaza, and you'll find Virginia's Casita, located at the rear of the complex. No problem with safe, off-the-street parking. I have to admit that Virginia's is a little hard to find, but the quest is well worth the effort, as the food is delicious, and Virginia will welcome you as if you were a part of her family. The breakfast menu of Virginia's is both basic and extensive, depending the way you look at it. Both American and Mexican cuisine is offered. You will not meet a friendlier restaurateur in your lifetime than Virginia! The "cutesy-poo" decor is... well... cute, the service is fast, friendly and amazing, and the food will make you come back again and again. Oh, did I say the food is AMAZING? If you love good food, you'll love Virginia's Casita. Check out the photos I've posted and go to www.erench.com for the full review on Virginia's, and other restaurants. read more

This is a darling authentic Mexican food family-run restaurant that you must experience! It was difficult to locate so I called and Virginia came out in the plaza to find us! You must turn into the Cuidad Plaza parking lot off of Main St then it is on your right! She has 150 teapots from her collection of 300 decorating her extremely clean restaurant! The food was delicious and the conversation with Virginia, delightful! Even the bathroom is decorated with personal touches of care ( and immaculately clean!). We highly recommend! I had the special with tostada, beans and rice with chicken soup, chips and great salsa. She has been cooking for her family since age 12 years! She blesses her community with her food. read more
