Casa De Mina

We came here with a large group for a late lunch during the holiday season. There was one other party here, so we had our choice of the place. Even so, it felt understaffed with one guy working the front room and one person working the kitchen. This meant that the front room man had to make drinks, take orders, and also watch to see if anyone else would come in. Ultimately, he seemed a little too busy and it made things move pretty slowly.Once we did get the food, my chile verde was delicious. It really filled me up and was the perfect amount of food. Somewhat counterintuitively, I'd recommend going during a busier time of day because there's probably an appropriate number of people working so you will have less issues with getting things promptly.

So normally I leave a review if it's AWESOME. Very few and far between do I do a negative . This isn't exactly that. It's in between. My husband and I come here all the time. I was pretty impressed that it was a little busy compared to the chronic dead in the past. Turns out busier isn't better. Our waiter- let's just say this.... he was personable enough but the dude seemed like he was on adderall or something from the get go . We all said something. My daughter in law is a server so I respect however you gotta be- but this was EXTRA. Also- the drinks came out a little randomly and the choices my daughter in law picked he told us sorry weren't available in like a very SPIRITED "good news bad news" situation. (his words) what he meant was that nothing you picked or wanted is available. Like- at all. The food was alright. I'm not picky nor are my kids who were at dinner. The food is almost always alright it's no problem. Nothing to boast about for sure. But that experience was just super weird. I left a great tip like I always do but the one takeaway was- there were several drinks on the menu that were "unavailable" so if you don't stock the ingredients for your offered menu- don't put them on the menu right? My bill was close to $200 for 4 adults and one kid so- guess it wasn't a great experience. The bar girl was SLLOOOOOWWW. So slow.

Best Mexican (Authentic) I've had in the state of Arizona - De La Cruz in Gold Canyon is second to Casa De Mina!The Fajitas are delicious, the Chimi is crispy and fantastic and the enchiladas with the avocado crema is super delicious - service was attentive and prompt!The restaurant is very Spanish in decor and the layout is not obtrusive or annoying - a little loud as it gets busy...

Well it was very busy last night so there was a long wait. Chicken fajitas were good but they only give you 3 tortillas for a big portion of fajitas! Delicious chips with 2 different salsas are served when you're seated. The red salsa was very good. They will bring a hot salsa if you request. The restaurant seemed disorganized as empty tables for 20 minutes with many guests waiting

I visited this place after a friend recommended it for authentic Mexican food, and it did not disappoint. We started with the queso and chips, which were excellent--the chips were thin, crispy, and totally addictive! For my main dish, I ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were fantastic. Tristen, our waiter, was friendly, attentive, and provided great service. The only downside was the hostess, who was not very nice--it was almost comical, though she might've just been having a bad day. Despite that, I'll definitely be back!

We've been here about four times with mixed results ranging from a five star to a one star experience. The food is always very good ranging in the 4 to 5 star range. Tonight's customer service bottomed out at 1 star. Our waitress seemed to have forgotten about us, the chef forgot about our order, and in short we had long delays for our food. Other guests who arrived after us got their food before us. My party left grumpy in response. Thankfully, the management recognized the botched customer service and sought to make it right with a 50% discount. Our waitress, who was absent for most of the meal, seemed oblivious to the fact that there was an issue but management was on top of it..The ambiance of the restaurant is always delightful and dining outside in the courtyard was nice.So although tonight's dining experience was less than we hoped for, we will return knowing tonight's experience was an anomaly..

Stopped in for lunch today, didn't realize they had a lunch menu. Very reasonable prices, with typical selection of burritos, tacos, enchiladas. I opted for the green chili chicken enchilada lunch. They happened to be out of refried beans at the exact moment we ordered. Instead of waiting our server suggested replacing it with corn. It was delicious. Our server was prompt and gracious. The environment was very nice, especially since there were no tvs to offer distractions.

We tried Casa de Mina for a late lunch date. The interior of the restaurant was clean and bright. They have plenty of seating and can accommodate large parties. We ordered chips and queso as well as a chicken chimichanga. The portions are quite large and can be shared.

If you're looking for authentic mexican food this is not the place. Chips and salsa were decent. I got the sopes and they were pretty decent minus the fact that my braised beef had a metallic and off-putting after taste that personally made it inedible to me and my husband. However when removing the meat the sope itself was pretty good. My husband got the shrimp fajitas and loved it! Service was fantastic! Tristin was our waiter and was really attentive to us. I really wish we were seated at a different table, however because we were right next to the door that led outside and it would frequently be left cracked open, and the freezing air would blow onto us for the majority of our dinner. Overall I personally wouldn't return but my husband said he would. I would give this place a 3.5 if possible.

Food is awesome! Chips & salsa are delicious. We love the fajitas. Service is excellent!
