La Casita

La Casita has a pretty large menu. You might be overwhelmed when reading it because the items are in Spanish but the descriptions are luckily in English. These are the types of places that serve the best and most authentic Mexican food. The hot salsa has some real good kick to it for you spice-lovers. I personally ordered the Milanesa which is the South American version of a German Schnitzel.

Being a Des Moines resident, and having visited Omaha in the past to try to find the most authentic Mexican restaurant, we have found it! My wife, daughter and I absolutely loved the food here. It tastes so fresh! This stuff is home made and made with actual ingredients that make you think your mom's cookin'! As soon as we walked in the server warmly greeted us. He was kind and very attentive to our needs. I placed an order and that is hard to meet, a "gordita" (a meat-stuffed thick corn tortilla) and man this was goood! My wife ordered 2 "sopes" (think corn tortilla with meat and toppings) and she loved them. My daughter ordered a plain "carne asada" (steak) taco; she ate it all! The "orchatas" (hispanic rice-cinnamon-vanilla drink) were off the hook. We will definitively be back to visit. We have found our spot!

Decent food. Price point higher here than your average taqueria. The corn tortillas appear to be handmade and their green salsa is very flavorful. More so than the red. For 2 people to order a meal each and a drink cost 33 dollars not including a tip, so yeah pretty pricy. Due to that, we will probably not come here often.

Good authentic Mexican restaurant. My no. 1 combo with a taco and a enchilada was good, the green sauce on the enchilada was excellent, and the rice and beans were good as well. Chips come with bean dip and not the typical salsa and they come with a green and red salsa in bottles. Margaritas are decent and cheap.
