Casa Mexicana Bar & Grill

We just moved to the Tampa area and we are so thrilled to find authentic Mexican food here. We have lived all over the country and it can be hit or miss with some Mexican restaurants. This one is authentic probably because it’s privately owned!! It’s not another cookie-cutter chain. The food here is excellent and the service is warm and friendly, plus, the prices are exceptional reasonable!! While we were there for lunch today a delightful gentleman, Marcial Hernandez, was playing his guitar and singing the most beautiful Spanish/Hispanic songs. His music took us back to days we had spent in Mexico and Spain many years ago. It is our understanding that he performs in the evenings too. This is such a great place, not fancy but very sweet with delicious food and friendly service. They also have a little bar tucked away in the back away from the tables. Just a really great place overall.

Very good tacos. Hot sauce great as well. Great service!!!!

Nothing but great service and food! Decent prices considering it’s in South Tampa. Friendly staff.

Amazing tacos. Amazing rice and beans. Very friendly wait staff. I come here every Tuesday for the $1.50 tacos, always on point

First time visit at 430 pm on Thursday December 27, 2018.

Military discount is 10 percent.

One table of 4 was already in the restaurant when we arrived. The noise level was quite high from conversation of that table on the other side of the restaurant and the staff in the kitchen. Acoustics bouncing of conversations was to a point I thought it was entirely too loud to be enjoyable.

We were given a small container of chips with salsa when we sat. I thought the amount of chips was skimpy and the salsa was very watery. It was spicy but you could drink it with a straw. Taste was good though.

The menu to order simple tacos was confusing. My son loves tacos and we try a new restaurant each time we can. For some reason just ordering regular tacos with rice and beans was not in a standard combination.

The tacos were good. The steak was very good. The ground beef a little greasy

The rice was ok. The refried beans were good. I thought the portions were skimpy though with the rice and beans.

We drank water and the bill before tip was $16.37
