This place is excellent! Great atmosphere and service.
Las Cazuelas is really good. It tastes authentic. And it's a lot of food.
The staff was good, the one waitress we had was a bit overwhelmed, but nothing horrible, I think she could have used some extra help - but again she earned a full tip from us. She didn't directly ask everyone if they wanted a drink, so the teenagers didn't get anything but water for a while, but once it was pointed out to her she got and kept their drinks squared away.
The food is bean heavy and simple, but flavorful. The salsa is nicely spicy and the guacamole delicious. I would not compare the salsa to Pace whatsoever. It's simple but similar to what I've had in Mexico & other Mexican restaurants, and is only slightly runnier than what my friend makes us. My friend likes their green chili but has complained that although flavorful, it needs to be spicier. In my experience, just like Chinese food, the different areas of Mexico result in very different food lumped under a generic category. You'll either like Las Cazuelas or you won't. The parking lot is tiny and depending on the time of day, can be difficult to get out of.
