Mi Casa Restaurant

Touristy. Depending on where you sit, it may be too dark to read your menu and/​or things fall out of the trees into your food. Food is average. Had one of the short rib meals. It was tender but swimming in sauce. Order an appetizer but it came with the entrees so I’d say service is off a bit. Been here twice, don’t need to go back again.

The Amazing:
— Vegan and vegetarian friendly.
— Low price for the great quality
— Amazing ambiance
— Amazing service
— Amazing food

I am only giving this place a star because I have to in order to write this review. In one word, terrible! And a huge tourist trap! It looks like a nick nack shop. Save yourself the trouble and find a better place.

We have been coming to Mi Casa for years with our large family every December. This year the food was mediocre and cold. The clerk in the gift shop, our server, the balloon clown and the woman that makes the tortillas seemed angry, impatient and rude. It seemed as though no one wanted to be there. We did enjoy the wonderful mariachi band and the margaritas. We’d love to have fun again at Mi Casa and we hope the management can find fix the sad, disgruntled mood that currently resides at Mi Casa. Really missing the old Mi casa…

Mi casa has an awesome atmosphere — huge outdoor courtyard, mariachi, and BLANKETS.
I like any place with blankets.
The food is good too. Highly recommend the tortilla soup and carnitas.
YUMMUH

I had steak fajitas and there were plenty things wrong with them. They were dry, burnt, and just absolutely gross. Not long after eating them I broke out in a dead sweat and proceeded to have food poisoning the remainder of the night into the next day. Other people who joined us also experienced food poisoning and agreed that we will never be coming back. AVOID AT ALL COST… Unless you like being sick!

4 in our party went for dinner on 12÷27÷15, with great expectations. Unfortunately, it did not meet those expectations. The service was abysmal. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks and 45 more for food to arrive. Our waiter was no where to be found after taking our order. We had to communicate through the bus boy, who was not much help, either. Caught in between servers we ended a very frustrating evening by going to the hostess in order to pay our bill. I give it two stars for the food but little else was recommendable. Perhaps it was an off night, but there are too many commendable other restaurants for me to consider a return.

The atmosphere here is amazing and wonderful. The perfect last night in Mexico. The staff are amazing and the mariachi band was really nice too. The food was tasty but definitely not the best I’ve had down in Baja (much better in Todos Santos). I’d recommend it for the atmosphere though and the friendly staff.

We are so disappointed with this little jewel that we have been going to in Cabo for many years. It has become very touristy and had the ambiance of Chucky Cheese. The merch prices seemed very high and the service was missing the mark. Too, too bad!

Completely stunned by the positive reviews for this place… we were completely disappointed by our dinner here. It is the biggest tourist trap where every service staff expect a tip… bathroom door opener, tortilla making lady (none of our meals had tortillas but she gave us a dirty look for not tipping her as we passed by to leave), the balloon animal clown.
Must note, as we were looking over our menus, the clown came by and started making balloon animals for the kids (4 adults and 4 kids in our party)… then he made us adults balloon hats which we did not ask for. My husband gave him a $ 3 tip. He then went to the other husband and demanded more money! That should have been our cue to get up to leave since we didn’t order yet. So, once the fortune telling bird people and the mariachis came by, we waved them away.
Our meals at Mi Casa were very disappointing… probably because this was our last dinner of the week in Cabo. We had done a lot of research and ate at the most amazing local taco places all throughout town up until this dinner so we were quite bummed that we ended our trip at this trap.

Simply amazing
This place is authentic as you can get in Cabo
Wonderful atmosphere
The margaritas are enormous
My wife and I went here twice on our short stay to Cabo
Visit it tonight!

Decided to dine here with my two friends after a recommendation from our hotel concierge. So glad we did! Authentic, delicious Mexican food. I had the Chiles en Nogada which was like nothing I had eaten before. So good. The restaurant is not air conditioned but they have fans everywhere and the décor is truly part of its charm. Great staff, great food (on the pricy side but so worth it), huge drinks, fantastic décor. Definitely make this one of your stops when you’re in Cabo!

Yummy authentic Mexican food. The guacamole wasn’t as good as I hyped it up to be but overall, big portions and affordable! Food comes out very quick. We ordered the top 2 sellers — steak and pork.

Really, really good authentic Mexican food. Every restaurant we had been to so far in cabo had LONG service, but this place was the better out of the ones we had been to.
What I love about this place: décor, cute little shops, uniqueness, and authenticity. Price is a little high, but I’m happy to say the quality of the food did not disappoint.
Instead of the typical chips and salsa most Mexican restaurants offer, this place brought out GUACAMOLE, pico de gallo, a variety of salsas, and cheese. And holyyyy queso that cheese was so gooood!!! This was all put together inside homemade tortillas. Delicious.
I ordered the mole and the sauce was so freakin’ good. I could taste the hint of chocolate and they were very generous with the sauce that went into the plate. 35 different ingredients go into this dish. The rice wasn’t as well cooked as I had hoped, but the overall dish was amazing.
The quesadillas looked pretty good, would probably try that if I were to come again. Coming during the summer sucks when it’s so humid outside and this restaurant does not offer AC.

Beautiful garden courtyard restaurant with delicious food. My family & I decided to go in & eat after walking around the art district doing some evening shopping. The beautiful art & crosses inside the store front drew us in from the outside & that’s when we discovered the courtyard restaurant. I was not hungry, so I decided on an appetizer, my husband decided on tortilla soap & dinner plate, & both my daughters order from the kids menu. We all left full & did not finish our plates. The habanero salsa was the best, but a little goes a long way. I fell in love with San Jose del Los Cabos & the hidden treasures like Mi Casa.

BEAUTIFUL dining space!!! I was really blown away by the floral outdoor spaces & the colorful art that surrounded them. I would def. recommend this place.
Amazing service — the waiters were constantly checking on us (but not overwhelmingly so) and teaching us new words in Spanish.
I LOVED the mole (that my boyfriend got) and he loved my chile relleno but neither of us were pleased with what we ordered. Oh well, it’s how life works sometimes. LOTS of vegetarian options + meat & fish.
I suggest walking around and seeing the entire dining space + the shop/​art gallery attached.

A special place (San Jose Del Cabo location).
Open air courtyard with lush vegetation, lots of authentic art and beautiful night lighting and fountain. Nice for romantic or special occasion though there were also families both times I was there.
1^st visit: enjoyed my tamale sampler appetizer more than my fire-​grilled meal. I have never been a huge fan of mole and the tamale’s showed me I just had not been exposed to the correct recipes.
2^nd visit: I had short ribs in a spicy tamarind marinade that honestly I still dream about. The accompanying cilantro mashed potatoes were awesome.
The margaritas are well done and all of the dishware is beautiful. The servers are wonderful and attentive without being intrusive.
Mi Casa also has a nice art gallery with some neat gift opportunities. On a scorching Art Walk night we were greeted with chilled champagne.
This was my favourite version of ‘3 Milk Cake’ or Tres Leche Cake during the visit.

Mi Casa was our first meal out and with it being Cabo, I was expecting so much more than the Mexican food back home. Sadly I was underwhelmed with our dining experience here.
Cocktail de Cameron Acapulco — Basically a shrimp cocktail. I did not care for this. I’d describe it as shrimp in a watered down ketchup sauce.
Camarones al Aguardiente — The menu read «sautéed Baja shrimp flame broiled with a garlic-​guajillo-​tequila sauce». It sounded so good. I was expecting a dish with complex flavors. It was far from that. The shrimp was over cooked and the sauce was salty with no depth.
Tacos de Camaron al Pastor — This was hubby’s dish. This was actually decent but still nothing to write home about.
The most annoying part of our dining experience was the number of vendors that stopped by our table. I suppose most of it is fun if you have kids in your party, which we did. First there was a clown that made balloon hats for everybody. Then a photographer came by with sombreros and took pictures which they try to sell to you at the end. A mariachi band came by and played limited music by request. Basically anything you could think of to milk a few extra dollars, Mi Casa had it. The last entertainer was a guy with 2 canaries that pulled fortunes from a box for each person in our party. I’d say that was the most unique and most fun. If you end up in the same situation as us where you’re hit up by every entertainer, I’d try to politely decline all of them except the canary man.

Great atmosphere, decent food.
I love the decoration and the attached store. The trinkets are beautiful and aren’t priced very differently than elsewhere, but the quality seems high and there is a great selection. It is a great way to spend the inevitable wait time for your table.
This is great place to come with a group. There are all sorts of things to look at and entertainment (mariachis, fortune tellers etc) abound. Yes, it is an extra way for them to make money, but this should be expected if you come here. Kids loved it and so did the adults.
We came a couple months after the hurricane and they did not have a lot of the dishes on the menu– which I think was a result of the fewer tourists or difficulty sourcing ingredients. Additionally, several of the rooms were closed and only a portion of the restaurant was open. They were making do with the aftermath of a disaster so this was completely understandable.
The food we could order was OK– nothing spectacular. They make their tortillas on site and you can watch the woman making them on the first level. She let the kids taste one right off the grill which made them very happy. I had a carnitas platter and a couple people I was with had the mole. Kids ordered from the kids menu.
I have no comments on price as we went with a large group of kids/​adults and another family treated all of us.

The first thing that you can say about Mi Casa is that it’s a real looker. Tons of trinkets and hand painted everything gives it a massive «authentic» feel. Strong skull folk art grabs a lot of attention here, and is played on by a young lady walking around taking pictures with you (for $$). Mariachi that plays a few Gringo hits, and quickly runs out of song in their repertoire. Very cool courtyard with a mango tree growing in it, the restaurant is like being outdoors in almost every seat.
I came here on a reservation made by Jaime R. for our first night in Cabo. The first thing I did was get the menu to order drinks. Second, I pulled out the calculator (app) and asked their exchange rate. Just before I ordered my drink, I pulled my jaw from the nicely decorated table. Close to $ 15!
Let’s just take a break here and state that everything in this place is EXPENSIVE!
So, Got my drink and ordered the filete a la Veracruzana. Very nice sea bass fillet in a tomato/​pepper/​caper/​onion sauce. This was definitely the highlight of the night, it was everything I could have asked for, and it was worth the price. It is the sole (hehe) reason that I can consider giving 3 stars!
Everything else, unfortunately, fell short.
On the food front, chile relleno was tiny, not well stuffed, and not well breaded or sauced. Rice and beans were very plain, and a multitude of other dishes were «forgettable».
Service wasn’t so great either. Drinks were slow to come out, tortillas (especially the flour) took much too long, and our server seemed to be easily perplexed.
If you’re looking at this location for a nice dinner in Cabo, I would suggest that you ask your concierge for a menu if possible. Check out the prices and decide if it is in line with your night. I’ll save you a call on the lobster, for you daring types: it’s about 1.5 Kg and $ 80.
