Casa Cocina

We began this dinner with an excellent smooth mild Bean Dip, followed by good tableside guac. But the Tortilla Chips were very salty. Albondigas Soup was hearty and filling with very good, nicely formed meatballs.
I ordered 1 Ground Beef Taco and 1 Shredded Beef Taco but received 2 Groud Beef Tacos. They were very good tacos but Americanized crisp tacos deep-​fried in metal slots.
Things were off on service this night. Restaurant staff seemed so overwhelmed by the turnout that the chef himself brought out some of our completed dishes, and I had to ask three times for butter for my specially ordered Flour Tortillas. My party of four dined on a Wednesday night, but apparently the Speedway crowd contributed to a full house in the early evening.
I will still frequent this establishment. It is close to where I often reside, and the food is consistent and sound, if not the service.

Just stopped by for a quick drink before the movies … Kimi the bartender was super friendly and got us exactly what we asked for !!! Quick easy and great service!!!

Great service!!! 5 stars
Poor food reminds me of Taco Bell from 15 years ago when I used to eat there.

The only thing that’s good about this place is the hostess and margaritas. But not even a top shelf margarita could help this food. And the finishing touch was the waiter standing at our tea leaves telling us we had to pay now because the restaurant closed 5 minutes ago… lame.

Very nice waiter, his name. I dont remember! I think it was luis but im really not sure. a young mexican man who used to life in new york as he told me. very nice waiter! they didnt have cherry coke and he made me one handmade. 5 stars for him… the food. the quesadilla, cheese burrito, was really nice, real big plates! the rice and vegetables, well the rice was too hard and the vegetables didnt really taste fresh. so this was a bit disappointing. my mom had a mixed plate. it was suppose to be like an entrance, but it was so big it couldve passed easily as the mean dish… we took the food home in a doggybag, but this wasnt worth it… the next day we could throw it out because it was not nice anymore. so this made me doubt about the freshness of the dish. but overall. for a weekly meal for nice rate it was a nice experience.

The food was very very good. The service could have been better. It was a little on the slow side getting us in and seating us. Once seated we waited for our waitress, name was Nicki and she was terrific!

Stopped in for a bite and drink before a movie. Waitress was very nice and the place was clean an inviting. As for the food (combo platter), it wasn’t that good. Seemed like everything was either pre-​packaged or frozen before serving. I felt like I shouldn’t have eaten it after I was done. Maybe there’s other things on the menu I should have tried instead.

The food is always delicious. Basic Mexican fare– baked burritos and enchiladas. The bean dip is amaze balls. We come back for the food but the service is always sub par. We eat here every 2 weeks and we either get the super slow non existent server or mr no personality that brings me an empty Tapatio bottle and insists they don’t have Chalula even though I’ve had it there every other time.

My family and I have eaten here multiple times and we’ve never had bad service. The chips are great and taste close to home made. They come with a red and green salsa as well as bean dip. My margaritas are always filled to the rim. The food is americanized and isn’t what you would expect at home but it is worth it. Our waitress Nikki was very quick and polite and very sociable. The price are great, and the mariachi band that plays make it an enjoyable cultural meal.

Decided to try this place out after a friend recommended it. Out of four of us, none of us were impressed. The waitress was the only positive experience. The tacos were mediocre. The cheese enchiladas were tiny. The Chile relleno was extremely spicy when they are typically mild. They use cheddar mix blend of cheese rather than authentic Mexican cheese. Overall was just not impressed.

We decided to grab some food before a concert we came to see at The Club.
We did not go in the restaurant, but sat at the bar outside instead.
It was happy hour so I ordered a Mango margarita for $ 5 and nachos for $ 5.
The mango drink was delicious… not too sweet, which is also a concern with fruit drinks. Didn’t really taste the alcohol, which is fine, because I was just having it with my meal.
The nachos were ok. They didn’t look like a lot on the plate, but they filled me up. I ordered a side of salsa, because I don’t like the onions in the pico.
I would give the nachos a 2 and the drink a 5… so overall I gave it a 3.
I would definitely return for the drinks.
The service was just ok.

Decided to check this place out since we had a good experience at the steak house next door. They brought us chips, 2 salsas and a bean dip. Chips tasted commercialized, salsa gave me the impression of store bought that was blended and the beans came from a can. Maye they didn’t but it tasted like it. I ordered the Mole poblano and a bowl of tortilla soup. First they brought me Albondigas (Mexican meatball soup). I sent it back and they brought me tortilla soup. It was FILLED with thin tortilla chip strips. It wasn’t bad, I would say 2.5 stars. The chesse was one continuous glob at the bottom but the broth flavor was decent. Then the main dishes came. My mole was WAY too sweet and had no spice in it. The rice was crumbly, beans too dry but the corn tortillas were as good as they come from a bag. I didn’t finish my whole meal (or the soup). Wife ordered a side salad with ranch and it was average (ranch was good and salty which we like). Her fajitas were ordered with no tomatoes but came with it. She ordered a side of cheese and the waiter didn’t bring it out. They also did not include the Guacamole like they were supposed to. The fajitas were okay, had decent flavor from the «charring» but could have used a little salt. The veggies were way too oily for my liking. Overall, food and service I will not be going back.

This is a great place to sit down and enjoy a Mexican meal. Food is really really good, the manager D’Ann is really nice and always says hi. I almost always get the Fajita’s, its filling and good. Only once they were a little shy with the chicken. Great prices, great food and great service. A+.

I have eaten at lots of Mexican restaurant so I’m a pretty tough critic and this place was not that great. I really was not that impressed. It’s located inside the Cannery Casino so I’m sure it soaks up plenty of business from the people who are already there feeding slot machines their social security checks. I don’t think I would go out of my way to walk through a smoky casino to eat here though. I find it funny that this place boasts «Las Vegas Review Journal The Best of Las Vegas 2008»… umm its 2011 that doesn’t say much. I think the portions could have been better for the price. My girlfriend got fajitas and it was mostly vegetables. Overall our meal cost $ 29.17 before tip, I ate my whole meal and my girlfriend took home some vegetables. I did like the chips and the two salsas and bean dip that came with it. If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant go to VIVA ZAPATA’S it’s just down the street on Craig and I-​15 its way better.

Let me say first that I have been to this restaurant before and am not going off one time only experience. With that being said, I would rather have spent my money at Roberto’s then Casa Cocina.
To start the meal, it took the hostess a good fifteen minutes to get us a seat in the not busy restaurant. From there we sat at our table for 20 minutes before the waiter meandered over to take our drink order. Before we had our order taken however my friend and I overheard a conversation between two waiters to the affect of «I don’t want to have to serve them.» Being that we were the only people in the area at the time and the same waiter ended up serving us, there is only one logically table they could have been talking about.
The food itself arrived on time and was well prepared. During that time we noticed that the hostess was at the table next to us flirting with the men sitting there and all the while there was a line piling up at the front of the restaurant. It took another employee telling her that people were waiting for her to start doing her job.
As the meal drove to a close and we waited for the waiter to reappear from the netherland he had disappeared to, my friend and I became impatient and asked the passing hostess for the check. She apologetically went to fetch it while out of nowhere our waiter reappeared and asked if she was getting us the check. We responded with a polite yes and he said «I’ll be back in a few minutes to cash that for you.» We waiting for about ten minutes before we went up to the hostess to cash the check and leave no tip.
I realize that this accounting is not necessarily a reflection of the restaurant as a whole but I can say without a doubt that it did not seem like any of the other employees were very polite either. We were seated near the kitchen and heard a large amount of grumbling and complaining. I also realize that very few people love there jobs enough not to complain about them, but they should have had common sense and decency not to do it were your patrons can hear.
Needless to say, I will NOT being going back to Casa Cocina again.

To start I must say I am not a fan of mexican food. With that being said, I really liked this place. I took an out-​of-​town houseguest here because she likes mexican. I was really impressed though. They sat us right away and a drink runner/​helper person came right away to bring us chips with three different dipping sauces. The chips were extra salty, which I really enjoyed. Our meals came with a cup of soup, a hearty helping of re-​fried beans and an ample scoop of rice. The shredded beef in my burrito seemed to melt in my mouth and the chicken in the taco was so juicy. The whole plate came piping hot and smothered in a gooey mess of melted cheese.
They also have a promotion going on right now. If you order two entrees or more, a host comes by to let you pick an envelope out of a basket. Inside your envelope is a coupon for your next visit. The only catch is you can’t open it until you come back, so you won’t know what you have won until you come back to eat there again. I guess it doesn’t matter, the food is so good I’d pay full price for it.
Don’t try to come for lunch though, they are not open till about 4:30pm. Plus they are closed Monday and Tuesday.
