La Casita

My sister and I stopped by La Casita after a meeting, glad we did! First off all, I totally love chips and salsa and although they don't offer flour chips, it's always nice to have some. Their Salsa is served in a ketchup type bottle, so heads up. Lots of spices, tasty but not too hot. We also ordered the side of guacamole, which I didn't particularly care for. I yearn for that flavorful, fresh bite of an avocado with the crunchiness of onions, tomatoes and cilantro. If you like a plain, avocado "blend" then you might like it, my sister did. I ordered a chicken salad, which was good, tasty and quite small, which is fine - it's perfect for the price and one full serving. I usually can never finish them, but it was just the right size ! I do wish there was more chicken in there, so I might order double chicken next time. The beans were really good! My sister ordered tacos and she really liked them too - but her favorite was also the beans! This place has been open for many, many years and is extremely popular. It's a perfect spot if you feel like taking a beautiful ride and stopping in for some Mexican food, perhaps a beer or two (wink,wink). Perfect to enjoy someone's company! The ladies that work here are not only beautiful, they're just as kind when they serve you. One suggestion is to be sure to ask for everything you need when the servers come around because they do get quite busy! Last suggestion, maybe order a cheese crisp as soon as you order drinks, this way you can casually wait while they prepare your food. The view is spectacular and there's lots of fresh air outside! I would definitely go back! P.S. no heartburn!!!

Big, busy place with good food. Four of us came for lunch a few days ago. The place was packed with families, but they were able to seat us immediately.We asked the server what the house specialty was, her response was the chile rellenos, so I ordered a combo plate that included a chile. We munched on chips & salsa (very good) for 15 minutes while they prepared our order.The enchilada was wonderful, the red chili burro was superb, but I'm not a fan of the chile relleno - seemed undercooked and not browned (see photo). Maybe it's just what I'm accustomed to.One of my companions ordered a margarita and it came in a bottle. I get it, easier for the restaurant, but it doesn't take much to make a real one.Great place if you are a biker - they seemed to have more motorcycle parking than car spaces!

We had not stopped at La Casita in Mammoth for a number of years so we stopped on a busy Sunday to see how we liked it. Many years ago they were our go-to restaurant when they were located in Globe. The service was good with several waitresses serving us rather than one. We ordered the #7 and #8 combination plates. Both of these had a red chile burro which we both thought was the best item on our plates. The taco was the old style which I liked; the wife thought the chili rellano was tasty and plump even with the white color; my tamale was the only disappointment. It was dry and cold even with the red sauce on top. The salsa was sweeter than I prefer but I used plenty. You can see by the pictures that nothing was left on our plates so that speaks for the food. The place is larger inside than it looks from the road. The wife insisted on cones since she saw all of the kids getting one. Not complimentary but a nice touch. We have tried three of the four restaurants in Mammouth and are still interested in trying the fourth. Some distance from Tucson but fair prices, good food and service and a nice ride.

We have been enjoying the wonderful food at this restaurant for over 50 years. It was always the place to stop on our way back from Roosevelt Lake.We live in Tucson and still drive out once a month to get our "fix" of great authentic Mexican food.My husband is no longer able to walk well so we get our food to go and sit in the car to eat. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Don't think you could go wrong with anything you order.

I was not blown away by the food, nor was this the best Mexican food ever. The chips were mediocre to say the least, and they give you a very small bowl with a squeeze bottle (I thought was ketchup) but it was a smooth mildly spicy sauce. My chimichanga was a wreck. I ordered the green chile-beans-pork and beef chimi and what I got was a soupy, soggy mess. I couldn't finish. The minute I cut into my burrito, a liquidy mess spilled out. The beans were soupy and watery and there was barely any meat. I paid $11 for soggy tortilla and soupy beans. Yuck. To make matters worse, about an hour after leaving this establishment I got a nice healthy case of heartburn. Thank goodness for Tums.

Nice spot and a family atmosphere. Always clean, great prices, good food and spot on service. It's a drive from Tucson, but stop by if you're out that way.

I went here when I was younger it was amazing! Food was amazingService was amazingThe ambiance was so nice! It smelled amazing and the designs were cool! Would recommend trying the menudo!

Best Chile relleno ever and as a chef and one who makes Chile rellenos myself brown Chile rellenos are over done as are brown omelettes.

Food was AMAZING so traditionally Mexican.Service was fast and was amazing.Traditional Mexican chiles and decorations,was very quiet and not that busy.

Great food ,service and price . It's worth the 20 minute drive from Saddlebrook Ranch.
