There are many, many Mexican restaurants in California and the Central Coast is no exception there are a lot of choices. Restaurants can become favorites for different reasons. La Casitas has become one of the close to home favorites for Mexican cuisine. It took us 2 years to actually read the front and back of the menu. That was because... More

The food isn't consistent. One time it will be good and the next mediocre. Parking is a problem especially on weekends.

Excellent Mexican food. We were staying in Morro Bay and made a special trip to Los Osos to have dinner at this place because we had eaten here before. Not a fancy place but very comfortable atmosphere. Delicious Mexican food. The iced drinks are served in glass jars with handles, kind of funky. Chips and salsa come with the meal... More

We judge good Mexican restaurants by the quality of their salsa. La Casita has the very best around with lots of flavorful spices and cilantro but not too hot. The menu has lots of variety and the Papa Burrito is an incredible value. They're less than $10 and there is enough there to take home and have 2 more meals!... More

If you want the world's best salsa -- THIS IS THE PLACE! We've been going to La Casita since they opened over 20 years ago. We've watched the owners children grow up, and now they're in college.

Not consistent, but sometimes heavenly and usually very good food. Service is mostly friendly and fast, and the price is really reasonable. Busy with locals most of the time. Great beans, tamales, and the salsa is unbeatable.

Well, it was busy so we figured it must be good. The chips and salsa was great. The chicken enchiladas were not so great. The chicken should be shredded instead of chunks, to insure you have chicken throughout. The rice is always an issue when mexicans are critiquing mexican food. My stomach wasn't happy !
