Mi Casa Restaurant

Another dump that thankfully closed!

Went here for a friends birthday.  Quite frankly, I never heard of this place until I was invited here, this restaurant acts like it doesn't want to be found.  It's a rather small little place on the south side of Ogden Avenue.  It doesn't really shout out what kind of place it is, just a dark red awning that says Mi Casa.

Interior of the facility is very mininalist, about a dozen tables, lots of windows.  You go inside and you're not sure you're in a restaurant, but you are.  Menu has some of the basic mexican dishes, a selection of beers and a variety of tequila based drinks.

Ordered chorizo quesadilla's, steak fajuita and a margarita.  Margarita came first and to be honest I had better.  Took a while for the quesadilla to arrive.  Once it did, I found that it was salty and very very greasy.  Almost like a greaseball pepperoni pizza.  Here's a chance for the fajuita to come through....nope.  Stuff was overly seasoned and salty, natural flavor of the beef and vegetables was lost.

Service was friendly but slow.  Sorry folks, there are just too many outstanding mexican restaurants for me to give this place another shot.

Tried to go to Lalo's, but couldn't find a parking spot near the place, so I asked my GPS for a Mexican restaurant and Mi Casa was the closest so we gave it a try.

Not a single person was in the place, which made me think twice.  However, our food was great and the owners were fantastic.  We ordered a chicken dish, a steak disk, and tacos.  All three entrees were excellent.

This is a hidden gem.  I hope more people find this place.
