better choices out there

by togi55 at Citysearch

I'm ashamed to say I've been going to this landlocked roach coach on and off for 20-plus years, primarily because I'm lazy and it's very close to where I live. I've managed to mostly overlook the overpriced taco-stand quality food until now because the place is so spacious and convenient and the margaritas are actually pretty good. But the bar area is now a haven for newborns and toddlers. Save your money, load your flask with tequila and have a better (and much more satisfying) Mexican dining experience at the Burrito King down the avenue.

• Pros: location
• Cons: poor service

Best Mexican food in LA!!

by Peanut at Citysearch

The food is fresh, fresh, fresh!! Very tender rice and moist beans. The chips and salsa are to die for!! And not too expensive. The drinks are mediocre, but the food is definitely worth it.

• Pros: Fresh chips & salsa
• Cons: Drinks aren't the best

BEST TACOS AND SERVICE

by avalonOmega at Citysearch

I have been to Casita Del Campo about 15 times, and yes everytime I go I always leave happy. I know one server there, he's the older mexican gentlemen and he is a great server who is always friendly and attentive. I would suggest trying to the chicken tacos plate. The chips and salsa are absolutely amazing, and the chips of course are freshly baked.

If you are looking for an authentic mexican restaurant with a to die for environment, well this is the place.

It's adorable inside and as charming and authentic as mexican can get in SILVERLAKE mind you!

Cute people too.

• Pros: Ambience,Service,Food
• Cons: Busy on weekends

Worst Bar service, food is nothing to write home about.

by lovemetender123 at Citysearch

I wish I could give this place zero stars. The bar service was horrible. I literally waited for an hour to get an overpriced mediocre margarita. Granted it was busy but still there were four bartenders who obviously had no clue what was going on. The food is okay, just overpriced. The salad is just a bed of lettuce with some generic dressing smothered all over it. I ordered the carnitas which were good, just a little too salty. For the price, its just not worth it when there are so many places in L.a that do it better.

• Pros: good chips and salsa, good table service
• Cons: Slow bar, food is mediocre, overpriced

Lovely and delicious

by felicious at Citysearch

I was a bit hesitant about trying this restaurant after reading the mixed reviews, but I went with a few friends for my birthday and had a wonderful dinner. We requested a table outside and sat on the very lovely patio. The decor inside and out was beautiful, and had a very relaxed feel. Our server was marvelous and the entire wait staff was extremely attentive throughout our meal. The food was very fresh and delish. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for either an intimate date or a raucous dinner with friends. Every mood can be accommodated and fed here.

Great food, good service

by sorozco72 at Citysearch

This is one of my favorite places. The food is always good and the service is friendly. There is also a bar if you just want to drink. It's a very social atmosphere.

Try the specials!

by vsusa at Citysearch

The place is fun! I have never had bad service there. I like the 50-50 gay straight vibe. It's not pretentious. Try the specials! Not my favorite marg in town, but decent. I like the area, the atmosphere and the food and drinks are good. They have shows but I have never been.

A Favorite for Years and Years

by jsnso818 at Citysearch

I first found this place back in the early 60's when it was a little cottage of a place. It's grow and grown over the years, and while the food isn't as good as it used to be, it's still very good. I went there on my first date with my partner (of over 40-years now) and fell in love with him over dinner - so a special spot for us.

• Pros: atmosphere, food, service
