  Best fast food Mexican we have in the haute. It hasn't changed in 30 yrs.

  An anachronistic fast-food Tex-Mex joint that has persisted through the decades. It definitely has a "dive-y" feel, but the food is quick, cheap and delicious. Don't be intimidated by the appearance, try the wet plate or enchilada platter.
  
  The food is cooked with peanut oil.

  This place (and the other location) are terrible. It is "mexican food" cooked up in a nasty kitchen. I have been there twice and got more grease than actual edible food on both occasions. It is a greasy spoon mixed with tacos...terrible.

  Not the kind of tacos I expected. They serve minced beef tacos but I wanted Asada, Pastor type tacos on corn tortillas.
  
  They prices are very cheap though. It costs me $2.30 for two tacos and a medium drink.

  Move over Taco Bell, you have NOTHING on the Home of the Wet Plate!
  
  I hold the unofficial record of putting down 19 tacos in 30 mins at the South 3rd location.
  
  The use peanut oil, so if you are allergic to peanuts, STAY AWAY! I'm not, and I think it makes the tacos taste AMAZING!  I also love the King Sancho!  
  
  If you are in Terre Haute, you HAVE to stop by here. Dirt cheap, delicious, and guaranteed to make you come back for more.

  I love this place by far more than the majority of my family members.   I also acknowledge  that if you didn't grow up with it, it's kind of gross.   If you did grow up with it, there is nothing else in the world that could even compare to it.   It's just that kind of thing, you know?  
  
  Anyway, it is the home of the Wet Plate, so there's that.  I actually prefer the Deluxe Enchilada plate, though.   And I dream of those nasty little tacos.   I can eat like a billion.
  
  I miss their old juke box.   The modern one they have now is just not the same.    I remember my mom used to give me a $1 and I would play "Girl on LSD" by Tom Petty like 5 times because I loved it.   My upbringing was strange and wonderful.

  Taco Casita is a Terre Haute landmark and is still serving up great Mexican food as it has for 40 years.  You've never lived until you've been to Taco Casita...
