Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant

A bit pricey, food was no different from other Mex places

Things are changing here. Visited tonight. Salsa was a dark red instead of the usual bright red it's been for 20 years plus. We got the charra beans tonight. Looked and tasted different. The recipe for the tacos al pastor has changed completely. The meat used to have an almost orange-red color to it and it was better. Also, it was odd that the tacos a la mexicana did not have cilantro and onions. Service from a girl who has been there for a few months was terrible. She didn't like to work and did not like making multiple trips. For example, instead of bringing drinks immediately, she waited until cheese dip with chorizo was done, which was too long. On the plus side, they now give you two corn tortillas for each taco. I hate to see changes, here, though.

Hard to believe haven't been in three years. We were at our very favorite Mexican restaurant tonight (this one). Best salsa on earth. Clean, fresh, bright atmosphere. Great service from Marta and Rigo, the owners. Marta is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They've changed their recipe for tacos al pastor. Have to say I preferred the old one, but this one was better than anywhere else we've been. Charra beans are awesome. They've been at it since '91. Marta says she's getting tired working all day. Looking forward to retiring. She seems so young. She said they are going to close it down when they retire. I mentioned to her that I visited their place on Buford Highway back when they had it. I asked her how many of their customers are veterans of the old place and this one. "You and one other guy." This is one of my five or so favorite restaurants.

Visited Mi Casa again tonight. We live in Chattanooga but were in town and had to stop in. Not much we miss dining wise about Atlanta, but this is one we do miss.

Salsa is the best I've had anywhere. Cheese dip with jalapenos is the best. Tacos al pastor and with chorizo are the best. Charra beans are incredible. Nothing on this menu is bad. We were served by Marta tonight, one of the owners. She is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, as is her husband, Rigo.

I want to slap the recent reviewer who slammed this great place, but you know I have to give him credit for the guacamole comment. The guac here is one of the only bad things here. It does seem out of a tube. Makes no sense since everything else is perfect. There is another guac you can get as a side that is more authentic, but the version they squirt on the food is not good.

Best Mexican in town. We've been eating at Mi Casa since they were in the old place. I even ate at their now-closed location on Buford Hwy. In my opinion, this is the best Mexican food in Metro Atlanta. The tacos al pastor and the salsa are great. We also love the beans a la charra. I think I spelled that right. Frijoles a la charra are Mexican-style pinto beans and are great here. Rigo and Marta, the owners, are almost always there, which almost always means a great dining experience.

My family has been coming here for at least 10 years. Rigo and his family have been working hard at running their place for more than that. Great atmosphere, everyone Is family, the food and the prices are great! Just come on a Friday night and see why this is a local

Love the food! Wanted to give it a 4.5 but this rating system won't allow... The salsa was excellent and their menu has good variety. Most of the time I don't like the rice served bc it's tasteless but the rice here surprised me and I really enjoyed it. My favorite was the 3 enchiladas. All were excellent especially the one with salsa verde. The tacos were spiced just right and the refried beans were tasty. Service was attentive and atmosphere was on par for a mid range restaurant. Prices were reasonable and you get a huge portion. A friend from Mexico recommended this place to me as authentic for this end of town and he was right. I highly recommend it too!

Been going here since I was 12. Everyone is super friendly.
