Well I thought PV had the best mexican food but Casa is right up there too.
The atmosphere at Casa is better than PV. Great place to take your date or gather with friends!
Love the top shelf margaritas (pick your own tequila!) All the food is great and a different chip/salsa than PV but very good.
The bar is small but the brick wall and the wood bar is awesome. Wish this was in my basement!
Can't go wrong here!
LOVE Casa del Sol in downtown Muncie. Food throughout the very extensive menu is fantastic! I've tried many choices and all have been excellent. Freshly made with fresh ingredients, you can immediately tell this isn't a place that skimps on quality. Â
My favorite is a simple but so well done Quesadilla from the a la carte. The Poblano Chile stuffed with cheese is nothing short of amazing!
Owner, Miguel is there no matter the time of day. He runs a very well staffed place and is friendly and attentive to customer needs.
The bar area is small but quaint and offers a wide variety of Mexican beers, as well as a full range of hard alcohol too. The margaritas are POTENT and perfect! Â :)
Live music every week brings in local musicians with appreciative and attentive audiences, enjoying authentic Mexican cuisine with a variety of acoustic and unplugged bands.
From their chips and salsa ... to the full plated meals, you absolutely can not go wrong with Casa del Sol or anything they have to offer, I guarantee it will become your fav Mexican restaurant! It's my fav for sure! Â Though they do have a sister restaurant -- Ciudad located on Granville Av., in Muncie, my preference is Casa del Sol simply because it's a little smaller, and has a great atmosphere and music.
A friend and I tried this place for the first time this evening and were generally pleased:
Food: We tried a variety of a la carte items, including Mexican rice, guacamole, a cheese enchilada, a tamale, and a quesadilla, and my friend had a classic Margarita on the rocks. The food was pretty good and, although we thought most items were a bit bland, our orders seemed much fresher than at a large competing Mexican restaurant chain in town. The guacamole, while again, very fresh, was the blandest  I've ever had. I had to add salt and a spoonful of salsa. The rice, however, was heads above that served in other local Mexican places. Delicious! The chips were fresh, not greasy, and the salsa was thin, almost watery, but with a nice, tempered flavor, although I prefer it in individual ramekins rather than in one large bowl for the whole table. My friend did not comment on the quality of the margarita.
Ambiance: The decor definitely says Mexican restaurant, but bright colors blended with more muted colors, warm wood, tasteful mural-style large paintings, and wrought-iron windows mounted on the walls lent a measure of elegance compared to other similar establishments. No sombreros on the walls here! A separate bar area looked as if it would provide a nice experience, while not disturbing those who choose to sit in the dining room. All of this provided a more elegant take on standard "Mexican" decor.
Service: I stood near the sign that said "Please Wait to be Seated" for three minutes while several employees walked past me, causing me to think that perhaps seating was not organized by the staff until later in the evening (I arrived at 5 pm). Finally, someone did come to seat me, however. I had to tell three different people that I was expecting a second person in an effort to have a menu available for her when she arrived.
Accessibility: Parking was readily available when I arrived, but later in the evening, I can imagine it would be different. Prices seemed very reasonable, and my friend noted that the items she ordered here were cheaper than at the main competing restaurant. There seems to be ample seating inside, suitable for groups. I did not notice a party room for privacy, but arrangements may be able to be made.
Three-star rating is due to the blandness of the food and the fact that I was left standing waiting to be seated while employees walked right past me. Overall, a good experience, but I don't see myself driving downtown very often when I get a craving for Mexican food.
After being a fan of the owners original restaurant since it opened we were excited to hear they were opening Casa Del Sol downtown. Â Seems like it took forever for the doors to open but once they did we were not disappointed. Â
Same great service and exceptional food no matter what you order. Â I can now schedule all my downtown meetings at Casa Del Sol and have had the pleasure of introducing many of my friends and associates to the best Mexican food I have eaten anywhere in the Midwest. Â
The wait staff is very knowledgeable about what is on the menu, how it is prepared and can offer suggestions if you have specific likes or dislikes which works for me because I am a picky eater and also have health issues that make it necessary for me to stay away from certain foods. Â
From lunch or dinner with my girlfriends, business meetings, dinner with my husband and carry out every meal I have gotten from Casa Del Sol has been exactly as was ordered, prepared quickly, reasonably priced and totally delicious! Â Plus we like the idea that we are supporting a locally owned business that puts money back into our community, something that is important to our family.
I've eaten here 5-6 times and love it. Â The servers and owner are super personable, but it's the food that brings me back. Â The fajitas, chiles poblano, THE CARNITAS, are all great. Â No complaints about the huge Dos Equis Ambers either. Â The small kitchen can produce a huge menu of piping hot grub. Â This is also one of the few places in town that sells Jaritos and Sidral if Mex soda is your thing. Â I'm glad to have them downtown.
Review Source:Took a chance on this place when we were in downtown Muncie after seeing a couple positive reviews on Yelp. Not sure how this place had managed two 4 star reviews.
Inside was clean and looked nice. Food was bland at best, borderline disgusting.
Even the salsa was bad. I mean, how do you mess that up?
Service ... not quite there. (Thanks for not bringing the check!)
Nope, won't be going back.
Eaten here several times for lunch. Very busy as it's the newest place to eat downtown (plus limited options). The food is very good and served hot (temperature). I've tried several different entrees, and each has been very good.
One warning, as you go into the restaurant, there is a slight step up in the floor. If you are not aware it is there it can creep up on you (I hope they fix it as I would hate to see someone roll an ankle or fall). Otherwise great experience.
New restaurant located at former Restaurant 2 OH 4. Â The restaurant has been open for about a week. Â Very large dinner menu and the prices were quite reasonable. Â We had a Mexican foreign exchange student. Â She has eaten at about all the Hispanic venues in the area, and she thought she liked this one best. Â She said it seemed more authentic. Â She was alittle disappointed that the Chile Poblano was not made in the traditional green, white and red fashion, but other than that was pleased. Â She was able to get a Tamarind soda that she was fond of from home.
The restaurant has been remodeled and nicely painted. Â Complimentary chips and salsa provided. Â Free refills on everything except specialty sodas. Â Entrees quite large. Â Four persons, non-alcohol drinks, total price $47.00.
They do have a private room for parties.
