I’ve passed this restaurant many times but never had the chance to stop in and try the food. Everything was delicious. I got chicken enchiladas with cheese and chicken tacos. You also get chips and salsa. The people are very nice. I must have gotten there at just the right time because I was one of the few cars in the parking lot, and about 10 minutes later the whole parking lot was full. La Casita appears to be a very popular place for lunch, and probably the other meals too. I will definitely be going back. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was decent. Guacamole was not house made, salsa was a little bland. The shrimp taco, lunch portion, had ample shrimp and the unsweetened tea was fresh. Super casual dining, although it’s newly opened the furniture looks dated. The staff was .

It was just after 9pm on a Saturday night when I drove by while out looking for a bite to eat, and I noticed they were still open. Decided to check when they closed, and it wasn’t until 10pm, so I stopped in. I was promptly greeted in a friendly and courteous manner, and told I could sit wherever I liked. The server arrived quickly to offer a menu and complimentary chips with salsa (standard fare at Mexican restaurants around here), and took my drink order. I really had a craving for chorizo con huevos, but it was only listed on the lunch menu. I asked the server if chorizo con height was available outside of lunch, and she said yes. So I ordered them. The food came back pretty quickly, and I was told the plate was hot. It wasn’t just hot, it was nuclear, so be warned that when they say a plate is hot, they’re not playing (thankfully no burned fingers but if you have little ones, be watchful). The tortillas that came with the entree were about as hot as the plate. The tortilla chips served prior to the meal were of the thinner variety, so they didn’t feel too heavy to munch on. The salsa was flavorful, and definitely not spicy, though I found it need just a dash of salt since I don’t think the chips were salted. The chorizo con huevos comes with a nice portion of chorizo mixed into scrambled eggs, Mexican rice, and refried beans topped with a little cheese. The chorizo was flavorful, but not as spicy or overpowering as some chorizo can sometimes be. The eggs were also cooked just right (they’re very easy to over cook and whoever prepped the meal did an excellent job). The server was very friendly and outgoing, and it looked like there was plenty of staff on hand taking care of the few other diners in the restaurant. I was checked on frequently, and my drink refilled as needed. Sadly, they were out of horchata, which I’ve had from here before, and found it quite enjoyable. I’ve actually had their food carry out a few times prior to this visit. Everything I’ve tried has been good, though the time I tried their menudo (they serve red menudo), I was saddened by the lack of hominy. It was still pretty good, but I’m used to it having hominy. One thing I wish they had more of was a better variety of burritos.

The food was only OK. Bland taste for Mexican cuisine. Forget about the cocktail (mojito) if you’re wanting alcohol with your dinner. Perhaps stick with wine only. After taking the first sip I felt like I’d swallowed ocean water. The waitress wasn’t happy after seeing my facial expression and made us wait to take our order. She waited on two other tables who arrived after us then circled back for our order. After eating the tasteless food with the help of salt and hot sauce we paid the bill and tipped the waitress then left.

Absolutely delicious. Authentic from what I’m used to back home. Very close second to La Casita, Sierra Vista, AZ. I ordered the chicken enchilada dinner and they were very accommodating in giving me salsa Verde over a red sauce, my mom had a taco salad and devoured it. The food was fantastic and the service amazing despite being understaffed. Keep up the good work La Casita, Crystal River, looking forward to coming back.

This was the worst Chicken Fajita I’ve eaten in awhile. The guacamole didn’t taste fresh and the chicken didn’t taste good either. It was a very disappointing experience. Also, they don’t sell mexican coke in the bottle.

Went out tonight for a few tacos and This was my first time time here. It was really delicious and the prices were also very nice. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She brought out some homemade tomatillo green hot sauce which my fiancé really enjoyed. I will def be back!

This is, without question, the best Mexican we have ever had – the great news is that it is in our community. We travel a lot, and get to experience amazing restaurants (we are total “foodies”). This is THE BEST! If you are ever anywhere near Crystal River, Florida, be certain to stop here – and make it early in your trip – because you will want to come back for certain. Advice: order the “K”! Mind blowing!!!

I’ve been looking for a “go to” street taco place in this area for a while. I believe I have found it! The street tacos were amazing and fresh! Reasonably priced as well. This is coming from a taco eating expert! I also got a free dessert sopapilla for my birthday and it was sooo big and sooo good!
