La Casita Restaurant

This place was amazing! The food was delicious! The service was fast and the waiter was very nice! The owner is a lovely lady. Over all a wonderful experience highly recommend everyone to try!

Great breakfast burrito. The jalapeños give a real kick, not just for visuals and they're generous with them.
A while back we ordered shrimp with garlic sauce, which was amazing--great flavors. We got something else that was unremarkable so we forgot about them for a while. Now I'm excited to try more dishes.

Great new Mexican restaurant in Highland Park!! The menu is giant! They have lot to offer.
Food was amazing and prices very reasonable. All you can see was only $47! Unbelievable!

The appetizer combo was 10 bucks and contained everything you can see on pic 2.
The Milanesa was delicious, perfectly cooked, crunchy but not burnt. It comes with a side of salad
La Casita Salad was vert good, it comes with a side of 3 tortillas which are brought inside a box that keeps then warm, just perfect.
Lovely place, highly recommended!
Oh, the only issue is that the service was kinda slow but it was totally worth it!

It's a cozy place which instantly makes you happy. I asked for tostada and enchiladas. They were soulful, and your smile gets wider. The cheery in top was their dessert. They have special cakes all the time. I tried their lemon cake and my friend had her chocolate one. We were on cloud 9. This place is a must try if you want to feels cozy happy and taste yummy.

Cute little lunch spot for a table of 2 or 4. I cant imagine coming with a party larger than 4 people, tho--the space doesn't seem like it can hold it.

Food was delicious. They start you off with some freshly fried chips & two homemade sauces. I ordered a tamale and three different tacos-pescado, chorizo, and pollo. I enjoyed the tamale, pollo, and pescado tacos immensely. The chorizo was overcooked, dry, and some bites had burnt pieces. My brother ordered the shrimp tacos. They looked great. He has visited many times and continues to come back.

Our serve was very polite and courteous. Prices were very fair. I would recommend.

This place is amazing!! The staff is always super kind, their food is even better. All homemade and authentic actual Mexican food!! Portions are huge and prices are amazing, came in an huge group and did not expect to pay so little for the bunch of us. Not to mention the atmosphere is super cute, clean and tidy. Every time I go I try something new and it always hits the spot

The food was delicious. They seemed to be a bit low on wait staff, so service wasn’t as fast as we’d like. But the waiter that did serve us was great, he did a good job of working with everyone in a timely manner. I would certainly recommend to place to my friends and family

La Casita. If you’re into mole, or would like to try, this is top tier, the best I’ve had in a long time. Sweet, deep, complex - delicious. Many moles are from Oaxaca, but here the owner said it’s her grandmother’s recipe, and it’s excellent. That’s grilled cactus as a side.

I followed it up with breakfast, the red sauce was authentic and good, the tamales very good too.

The owner is a wonderful woman, doing her best, she will need an experienced waiter or waitress soon.

Had a really great meal at La Casita. The Al Pastor Tacos were fresh, crispy, full of flavor, juicy, sweet from the grilled pineapple and savory with the perfect fattiness from the pork. I love it when the place serves a grilled green onion on the side.

The Pancita (tripe soup) was also delicious and the perfect Sunday soup that was hearty, full of flavor and helps you recover so you can start the week right. It’s a hard soup to find and they only serve it on weekends but I’d highly recommend it - soup was mellow and had a slightly gamey flavor from the cuts of meat used.

The place is cozy and the staff are super nice (shout out to Lindsey). Would definitely come back again.

The food is to die for. Everything is homemade and delicious and the prices are definitely worth it. The service is attentive and amazing. Small adorable place with great decor. Ive been back multiple times and will keep coming! Love it here I recommend

Came in because my usual spot didn’t have what I wanted so i stopped in and they had exactly what i wanted and more. Nice little place and really cozy. Definitely recommend this place!!

Came on opening day and loved it. Staff were super friendly and the decor was simple but cute. There aren't many tables but they're decently spaced so you're not on top of each other, and there's a second, small seating area above the first floor area.

Food was a little slow to come out but to be expected opening day. We got the spicy pork burrito - it was flavorful, the meat well-done, and was HUGE. Also got tacos de cameron (shrimp) - the shrimp was cooked well, nicely seasoned, and the tortillas were great - had a light, almost airy texture, and tasted home-made. Finally, also ordered the nachos de carne, and the chips also seemed freshly homemade and were nice & crunchy. They had a nice layer of cheese and beans in the middle so it wasn't just a mountain of dry chips with toppings. Finally, the red and green hot sauces were both good. Similar to above, seemed homemade which I appreciate.

Overall, really nice experience! Happy to support family restaurants like this, and glad there's another delicious restaurant in the area. Didn't take pictures of food because we ate it too quickly 😅

Update: ordered from here again and was just as delicious as before. The nachos are huge - definitely a 2 person dish, and even the Casita Ensalada (salad) was sharing size.

Nice, cozy Mexican restaurant. The food is good. But need to improve on service. My plate came after my girlfriend finished her food. Also came a but cold

This place is a gem in HP, quaint and charming, hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently! They use the freshest ingredients and make sure each dish is done the right way. The Tacos al Pastor was especially memorable. Must try!!

I fell in love with this place after visiting today. The flavor is amazing!!! I haven’t had authentic flavor like this in years. With every bite a smile developed and I couldn’t help but to order more. From the appetizer to the desserts it’s a 10 out of 10! It’s a very cozy laid back place with an authentic taste.

Food was amazing but large portions so be careful. The prices were very reasonable. The food tasted fresh and was made quickly. The best was the person who was both the host and also he was the waiter. He was very kind, funny, professional and sincere. He was tentative while managing phone calls, waiting tables, clearing tables and seating guest. His work ethic was amazing and you can tell her really cared. Really worth checking out and I can't wait to go back.

Delicious food. I got the vegetarian enchiladas with the green sauce. Great portions (not overwhelming and doesn't leave you feeling hungry either). The place is really cute and cozy. I left with some homemade tortillas to use for dinner and they kept well.

Service is friendly and the food is very fresh and tasty. Even simple dishes are done well. I have eaten much of the menu, and I am always impressed. If you come, order something you've never had and you'll probably be very happy!

Everything was beautiful! The environment, the music, the meal. Absolutely amazing. Spent my first Valentine’s day here with my boyfriend and it was a pleasant surprise. Will most definitely be back to try breakfast/brunch

I recently moved into the nearby area and had been looking for authentic Mexican food. I was drawn to this place since it had good reviews but was still a little hesitant. After trying the food it did not disappoint! It was fresh and delicious. Portions were generous and price was reasonable. Something I loved is that the menu was huge with plenty of room for choice. If you get a chance I would say definitely give this place a try! I ordered for take out so not sure how the service is in person but my order was done super fast and they were courteous as I picked up.
