Casa Taco

Expensive. Bland. Not Authentic. Good service. This is good for those friends who want to "try" Mexican food, but don't know what Mexican food is. Per Google, they advertise "Casual spot offering traditional Mexican dishes such as tacos and burritos, plus beer and wine." And their website claims to be the "best tacos in New Mexico". The prices were insane for what we received. $4-$5 per 1 taco that is mostly tortilla and not much much filling. The pastor and fish were two of the worst tacos we tried. I couldn't even finish them because of the texture/taste. Plus, the portion sizes were TINY for the price. There was hardly any pastor meat in the actual taco. Same applies for the fish taco. It was filled with a lot of veggies and a small tiny piece of fish which was very slimy. Again, not worth it for $4-$5 per 1 taco. Service was fine, but the tacos were not good. You enter, order at the counter, and seat yourself. When a restaurant has a set up like this I expect the food to be more solid and don't have high expectations of the service. I'm just looking for good food. If you're looking for authentic Mexican street tacos - this place is not for you. If you are looking for an upgrade from Taco Bell - this place is or you.*Had to update my review with more details as I was accused of slander - this is my opinion. Again - service was fine, but these tacos, as a Mexican American, were not good. Very Americanized and again - an upgrade from Taco Bell. I had it at 2 stars, but after the response below I have decided to drop it to 1.*

This place is SO good. I feel it's underrated, honestly. Both times I've gone in for lunch it's a ghost town. The service is super friendly. Let's talk about the food. I've tried the chicken taquitos, chicken tacos, brisket tacos, and brisket burrito and I seriously think these might be the best burritos and tacos I've had in a long time. The meat is moist, the portions are generous, and they have family packs and tailgate party packs. I'm definitely ordering for my next family party. Highly recommend.

Sooooo I'm not sure what happened. I had a Carne Asada burrito plate, came out looking nothing like the pictures, not smothered no chile. I didn't ask for it that way but this is what I got maybe I read the menu wrong. But the person in front of me ordered the same thing as me and look at that burrito plate and then look at mine. The loaded fries are okay. The rice 5/10 and the beans 0/10 substitute those everytime. I don't know look at my pictures, that plus a drink which is like a medium size everything total was like $30. I tried to add some heat with their salsa bar and the salsa had no heat. I was expecting more from what i read about this place. Your mileage may vary. The dine in experience here is bad, seating is cramped and poor. Usually when a place looks like this the food makes up for it but not here. If you come here get take out.

We stopped at Casa Taco on a cross country road trip and it did not disappoint! I did a quick search online for quick casual food spots in downtown Albuquerque since we have our cat with us in the car so we would need something quick that we can eat in the car. Casa Taco popped up as an option and had pretty good reviews so we decided to stop by. The service was quick and the tacos were tasty!! We both ordered the brisket green chile tacos which were incredibly flavorful. A must try! We also both ordered shrimp tacos and I was pleasantly surprised with how fresh and plump the shrimp were! I'm someone who loves spicy food, so adding their to-go salsa on top was the perfect addition! Lots of flavor and spice and clearly homemade. Great place for anyone driving through town looking for a lunch spot!

The young ladies were great! The food is bomb! A must try if you're passing thru! We are traveling home to California! Did not disappoint! The place is clean!!Smells clean and the restrooms were clean and smelled great.

Coming from LA, I am always looking for the taste of good Mexican food that could compare to some of my favorites back home. Of all mexican places I've tried in Albuquerque, Casa Taco hits the nail right on the head.I had an asada burrito and some asada fries. The burrito was near perfect. The meat was perfectly seasoned. The guac gave the burrito a great consistency and added so much more flavor to the burrito. It came with a side of pico de Gallo, rice and beans. Everything tasted so fresh and everything was perfectly cooked. The only gripe I have with it is I wish they just put all the side stuff inside the burrito to make it that much easier to eat. Adding the pico, rice and beans inside would elevate the burrito.The asada fries were also very tasty. They were topped with cheese and green chile which gave it the perfect consistency and kick. The only thing I'd say is that the fries had somewhat of an oily taste but it wasn't overbearing like other places.The service was great and the access to the restaurant drive through was easy. I didn't go inside because I was in a rush but from the photos the interior looks neat and clean.Seriously good food for awesome prices. Give this place a whirl, I promise you won't be disappointed!!

This may be our new favorite taco place. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and delicious. Featured favorites for this visit were the fluffy tacos and house made chips and salsa. I'm looking forward to sampling more items on our next Taco Tuesday adventure.

Small and dingy restaurant... should have walked away! For the price they charge here, I had much higher expectations than what I received. If I could return my order, I would! I've honestly never been so appalled by tacos! I ordered the 2 brisket green Chile plate ($14) and an iced tea which apparently was $4+ because my total for one person was almost $20. So I was very shocked that the iced tea tastes of soap/dishwater, the rice and beans are bland and flavorless, and the tacos are soggy and small. The beans were also vastly undercooked and nearly inedible. Rice is completely bland. The meat inside the tacos does not have flavor and is very chewy. The only saving grace for me was the corn tortillas, which are very nice and crispy. Green Chile salsa was decent also, but not spicy. Overall, I will not return or order from here ever again. In a state where tacos are a common meal, I am surprised this place has survived. What a waste of $20.

Great taco variety! They have tacos that they call puffy tacos and they are a hybrid tortilla that is hard to explain...all you need to know that it's good! The nachos are huge and delicious and made with homemade chips. I would recommend trying the green verde puffy taco it's made with beef sautéed in green chile sauce. They have a great variety of Mexican food and you can order a la carte or as a meal with red chile rice and pinto beans.

Waited for Monday to order tacos for dinner. Only to find out they no longer do specials. They did a month ago. Paid almost $50 for a 1/2 quesadilla and 9 beef tacos that had pink meat, no seasoning and they ALL fell apart. Soggy tortillas. When we went for the first time a month ago, they were great. Tasty and held together. Must be new management. Soooo disappointed. We won't be back.
