Casa Cavazos

One of the best Mexican restaurants around. They have been open for almost 40 years and have been in the same location for almost as long. We've been coming here for many, many years. It was a go-to place after church on Sundays. The food is always very consistent.

Classic Tex Mex restaurant owned for 40 years by the family that started El Chico. The recipes taste like when I was a kid. Some of the best ground beef, chile con carne and pork tamales I've ever had. One of the few places in Dallas you can get a puffy taco! It's usually quiet, never a wait and no margaritas here ... BYOB

Super huge portions of food. They have a bit of everything, and I would like to say the correct name for what I ordered but it was something long in Spanish which I can't remember and certainly couldn't pronounce if I did, so I won't insult anybody by trying. It was basically a mild Chile Colorado though, with cubes of pork in a nice ChileSauce served with retried beans, Spanish rice and fresh Tortillas. Overall I really enjoyed it, and the chips and salsa were very good as well.My wife had a chicken breast covered in a queso cheese sauce which she said was very good and which had some fresh looking guacamole on the side. My mother in law had a spinach enchilada which she said was superb. We've been here a few times and always walk away happy. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the ingredients and the portion sizes. The service was great until the Church crowd showed up, and then it sort of fell off from there but we will still go back in the future so am sure.

Great service, Great food, awesome Prices but terribly outdated. BYOB is also welcomed but not advertised ANYWHERE! It's definitely a family friendly place but needs some SERIOUS UPDATES

I am in from out of town for a convention and after getting back to the hotel room, was beat and only wanted to go somewhere close. Casa Cavazos got good reviews on Yelp it was just across the freeway. When I walked in I noticed it was 5 minutes to closing. There was no one in the restaurant except employee's. I offered to go elsewhere but the waitress mopping the floor (and I assume an owner) very cheerfully said please sit down, we're open. Her attitude was very upbeat, she was very attentive, the food came out fast and was fantastic. I had not eaten all day and didn't want to go anywhere else, these folks with their positive attitude, attentiveness and great food just flat made my day. I will most certainly come back again and again. They created a wonderful experience for me.

we have eaten here for over 40 years. The best Mexican food in this area. would not go anywhere else

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the whole wide world ! Casa Cavazos has been around for as long as I can remember and is definitely a hidden gem. There isn't anything on the menu that isn't amazing!! Hands down THE BEST Mexican restaurant in Dallas !

Two visits in and I'm finding this place kind of charming. It may not be the best Mexican food, but it certainly does the trick. My server both times has been very attentive and nice. The only drawback is that they don't serve alcohol.Casa Cavazos has an extensive menu and daily specials. The chips and salsa come with a bowl of pickled carrots, onions and peppers. On my first visit I ordered the Deluxe Dinner which included a guacamole tostada, a crispy beef taco, beef, chicken and cheese enchiladas and rice and beans...because you know, I figured I needed to try a variety in order to write a well-rounded review. Overall it was satisfying. The guacamole and the beans were a little bland...but otherwise it was good.My next visit was on a Sunday night and I ordered the Burrito Special...three beef burritos with guacamole and sour cream and a cup of queso. Again, the guacamole and the queso were underwhelming, but the burritos were fantastic!!!!!!! I see this special in my future on many Sunday nights to come. I just wish Casa Cavazos would up their game in the guac and queso departments.

First time going had the sour creamEnchiladas. Food was great. Service was great. I'll be back for sure. I want to try more things here.

Very slow service for a restaurant that was empty. I had to ask 3 times to get more salsa from two different members of the wait staff. The first person sat at a table after asking laughing with who I assume is the boss or owner. When the second member of the wait staff was asked she told our waitress and she audibly huffed and waited another few minutes before getting any.Food was okay. No bad, but okay. The second waitress was more helpful than our actual waitress. I made sure to tip her, but I'm hard pressed to tip a waitress that huffs when asked for a refill of water or salsa. She got a flat 15%. You were not busy, and I usually tip around 25%. We are very polite... perhaps the fact that I was a man there with my husband??? I don't know. Never going back, and the food was not worth it. Maybe you'll have a different experience.
