Mi Casita

Unless they cleaned the place up since I left, don’t bother. Yes, they have delicious, authentic mexican food, but it doesn’t excuse the roaches crawling on the walls, and the employees not doing anything about it, or even acting like they give a crap. It’s very well decorated, with mexican music playing and all. The employees speak very little english, but for the most part you can communicate with them. I actually use to love this place until we started noticing roaches everywhere, and when advised about it, the employees just blew it off. When I go up that way again, I will not bring my family here, unless they cleaned the place up.

Good food at a good price. Eat there often and recommend anyone who wants a good Mexican meal that won’t break the bank. To check them out. n

Excellent experience at Mi Casitas! The Seafood Quesadilla was fantastic as well as the Fajita Quesadilla! Service was friendly, quick, and authentically
Spanish speaking! Atmosphere had a good vibe!

This is as good as it gets for American mexican food. The chips and salsa were fantastic!

I give Mi Casita five stars because the food I had last night reminded me of home. This was my first visit and I shall return! The salsa is freshly made as well as the chips. Francisco, the owner, took our order and waited on us. He was the only one waiting on four tables but that didn’t hinder his efficiency in the least.
My husband and I shared El Grande in order to try a little bit of everything. It came with a taco, enchilada, burrito, and a poblano chile, a salad, and of course, rice and beans.
We asked for a side of chorizo and Francisco suggested we try it fundido. So he brought out a plate of queso dip with chorizo in it. It was amazing with the chips.
The food, for the most part is pretty Americanized in order to suit the palate of the average, somewhat rural Midwesterner, so if you are hungry for something on the spicier side, just ask.
The taco shell was freshly fried and filled with ground beef and topped with lettuce and cheese. The sauce that covered the ground beef enchilada and burrito was tomato based and very bright and velvety. It brought back memories of my childhood eating at my own father’s restaurant back in California. There was something on the plate I’d never had before: it was a ground beef patty topped with a bit of a poblano chile and that was covered in a dome of fried masa. It was good!
The refried beans were creamy and the rice chewy. Both were seasoned well and just comforting. For dessert, we ordered a sopapilla; a fried flour tortilla dusted with cinnamon sugar, drizzled with honey and with a whipped cream floret and a cherry.
I can’t wait to go back! I’m bringing my friends and family with me next time.

It is safe to say that Mi Casita is the première place for Mexican cuisine in the Ames area. They have an excellent menu on both selection and quality. This is complimented by a courteous, efficient staff. I have been here a number of times, and not once had a bad experience.
When looking at the food specifically, it is simply delicious. They use great, fresh ingredients and prepare them expertly. Their menu is large but easy to follow and well categorized. They even have a vegetarian section for those who require it.
The service is friendly and very speedy. I have never had to deal with an uncooperative employee. In fact, their owner is frequently out waiting or bussing tables and making sure customers are comfortable. Although some of them may give the impression there is a language barrier, I can assure you, they’ll get it right.
Lastly, if you decide give this place a go, make sure to check their specials on the board. They frequently rotate some chef specialties that are not seen on the menu. The last one I had was the Hawaiian Quesadilla — quesadilla with ham and pineapple — it was fantastic! Honestly, whether it’s for a special night out or a casual taco run, Mi Casita provides the top Mexican dish for this area.

Mi Casita is the BEST!!! They are REALLY friendly! They have GOOD customer service!!! The owner/​manager is out waiting on people too! I’m really proud to have a fine eating establishment like this in nevada.

In my opinion the best Mexican restaurant in the Ames area. They have the standard Mexican favorites, but have done a really good job of offering some new items like Mexican Fettuccine, Mexican Lasagna and it is the only place in a 50 mile radius I can get Fish Tacos. Very reasonably priced, and super fast.
