Tacos & Tamales Class @ Su Casa www.bucketlister.com **10/10 Stars - A Must-Do Experience!** The Tacos and Tamales Class at Su Casa was an absolute blast! Oscar and Cheque were super patient and knowledgeable, giving us the history of & guiding us through making delicious tamales. Margarita, our server, kept the margaritas flowing and the vibes high. For an amazing price, we enjoyed chips and salsa, drinks, three tacos, and got to eat the tamales we made. The class was so much fun--we were laughing so hard that the people in the restaurant wanted to join in! This wasn't just a cooking class--it was a party! If you're looking for a fun, delicious, and unforgettable experience, Su Casa is the place to be. We're already planning our next visit!
The food was great and was quickly seat and food came fast. The food was hot, fresh, and very delicious. There were some empty tables, but most were full showing the people's opinion on the restaurant. Lulu our server was so sweet and enthusiastic. She often checked up on us and took our orders quickly. It was a great experience at Su Casa I will remember this place and eat here often.
Great food and service. The friendly server did multiple check backs to make sure everything was ok. She even gave us a little history tour of the place and how it was an old stable converted to a restaurant. They even have a bar. The restaurant has the old Mexican restaurant vibe.
We did a take out late one night and we had no complaints! The service was quick and friendly. We just split a chicken quesadilla and it was fabulous! The chicken was perfectly seasoned and not dry at all! Definitely a great place for a quick bite!
Authentic feel with an interesting history. Came here on a Friday at 6:30 and it was quick to get seated with a part of 4. Free chips and salsa for each table. Enjoyed the chicken fajitas and it was plenty to take leftovers home. A friend got the chicken enchiladas and thought they were good but was a little disappointed at the portion. Overall great experience, great prices, and great service.
I saw the reviews for Su Casa and was a little worried at first because the reviews varied from loving to strongly disliking Su Casa. I fall on the loving spectrum! Ambiance - the exterior AND interior, contrary to a review I read, are quite unique. The restaurant is set in a 19th-century carriage house, and the ambiance as such reflects that character. It is not a modern, small plate, fine dining experience, but that's what makes it so great. The salsa that comes with the chips is spicy, flavorful, and bold. We ordered a queso as well, and it perfectly hit the spot. My fiancé got the chicken fajitas, which he would recommend but does say they weren't mind blowingly different, but were perfect for what we wanted that night - really good (and as close to authentic in our area) Mexican food. I thoroughly enjoyed my cheese and onion enchiladas - very large portion size and the sauce was DELICIOUS. Overall, this restaurant was very casual, relaxed, and delicious. Don't go here expecting to have something different and modern, but go for a warm hug of comfort food.
