I hadn't been here in a couple of years while traveling. But since I was back I thought I'd try it. What a pleasant surprise. After a very disappointing portions and food at Chipotle, I discovered for the same price of just a burrito you can get a huge meal plus beans and rice and chips here. The chimichanga was very large and their salsa was amazing. I'll be going back here from now on and skipping the fast food Mexican places....

We really like the food at Casa. It is our go to place when we want to have a sit down Mexican dinner. The prices are very reasonable and they have a nice selection of specials daily. I usually order the delicious large chimichanga and can only finish half so 2 meals for the 15.00. Today i had the mini chimi special. It came with rice and beans and was good. I like the large meatier whole one better. I tried a glass of the house margarita for the first time tonight, and it was very good but very strong. We had very friendly service and they were very busy when we arrived. But she made us feel welcome and had a personal touch so we didnt feel short shifted. They gave us a free cherry chimi for my husband's birthday and it was very good without being overly sweet great job to everyone there. Hope you try this place sometime. Worth it.

Kevin and all his staff, Amanda, Billy, George, Tyler, David, Iliana are amazing!! I would put Kevin up against any Speakeasy Craft Cocktail Bartender. His knowledge is deep, and he serves only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. I love the food as well, our friends have come here since they were kids! I highly recommend him and his establishment.

This is a great place to stop for some delicious food.. the beef taco had more meat than any place I have ever been.. The enchilada sauce was really delicious and the beans had a lot of flavor. My server Catherine was very attentive, friendly and helpful. The chips and salsa were great too. If you haven't been here you are missing out..

They do a really good job of making gringo Sonoran Mexican food, think Mi Nidito, Guillermo's Double L. 3.5 stars Tucson wide and 4.5 stars on the Eastside. But, the bar is a cocktail lovers dream. Mr. Templin has expertly crafted one of the best cocktail bars I've seen anywhere and he has gone above and beyond with his Tiki Drinks. By far the best tiki drinks in Tucson and easily the match for what I've had in Palm Springs or San Fran. I was so glad when I learned of this bar.

I dropped in because I had to wait an hour for the bus. Surprised by excellent specials; got a pint of XX lager and a DELICIOUS crunchy chicken taco. Under 10 so pleased. Service was excellent, chips and salsa fresh and craveable. Definitely will be back; highly recommend!
