Casa Blanca

You won’t find a better steak taco around. I double dare you. This place is the best tacos or burritos. And the guacamole is the freshest this side of the border!

I had the absolute worse service there. The waitress was extremely rude, bs treated me and my friends terribly for the entire visit. From talking over us to walking away mid conversation. The food was cold and my chicken quesadillas had bones and griddle in them. The cashier tried to overcharge us on our bill as well. I will not be going there ever again nor do I recommend it to anyone I know.

I had a really great lunch here today!
All the earlier reviews were right. Private parking lot. Authentic interior. Very attentive service and great food.
Started off with great chips and salsa. A little spicy… the way I like it. I ordered the enchiladas suisa chicken. Came out perfect. All white meat covered in a great cheese with rice and beans. I’ll be back!

Queso fundido was out of this world good. I really enjoy the gooey cheese and seasoned beef underneath with a side of corn tortillas. Very rich taste. The steak burrito was quite good. The steak tacos left something to be desired. Although they were packed with steak (very flavorful and lean), there was no onion, cilantro, or really anything but tomato and lettuce on the side to make it more authentic. This place is enormous… to the point where I walked in and my eyes were opened wide by just how far back it really went. Would go again.

When it comes to the food and the vibe, Casa Blanca has it all. Made a return visit here a week or so ago and everything was faultless; was even able to get a bowl of mild salsa for the chips on the table upon request.
Enchilada Suizas were as wonderful as ever. Tasty beans, plenty of cheese on top of the enchiladas, and a good server were all pluses.
My only problem with Casa Blanca these days is the neighborhood in which they are located; I do not feel safe going there even in the daytime with my husband.

Went here for my birthday with family and relatives that live nearby. The food is delicious and authentic. I had the carne asada with beans and rice and everything was delicious. My friend who is non-​hispanic had chicken with mole and he loved his dish and believe me he is typically a fussy eater but he really enjoyed the meal. It’s a great atmosphere and they had a mariachi band. My friend and I live in the city but we are already talking about going back. Its really easy to get there. Casa Blanca has been a favorite among my relatives. We had a few parties there and even a wedding reception there for one of the cousins there.

Huge tacos!
Great chips and salsa too.
Normal Mexican restaurant food. But the place is what to go for. It kind of reminds me from a place Scarface would have been filmed at.
On the weekend they have the mariachi going table to table and for a few bucks they will play for you.

Great food, good drinks, and beautiful banquet areas (upstairs/​downstairs). Ive been going there since I was a kid. The only complaint I have (and maybe it’s more of a suggestion) but the décor is outdated and the place could use a little make over. I’m no longer digging the pink booths and pink hue the restaurant has. The tile and stained glass mosaics are beautiful. The bar area is always dark. I’d like to see them open that up a little. I’ve never sat in there cause it always looks closed to seating but some do sit in the dark in there. But none the less, the food has always remained good in the 20+ yrs I’ve been dining there.

There is no substitute for poor/​bad service! What started out as a routine family dinner outing, end in an evening of bad jokes about a horrible dining experience.
In a geographic area that’s home many Mexican restaurants, I’ll spend my money elsewhere. I’ve never experienced a situation where there was a 7 – 10 wait between bringing each of four people’s food… and with no offered explanation.
Waited 15 minutes to get drink refills, and another 15 minutes after getting boxes for leftovers. to be offered the check.
To add injury to insult… they refused to honor our $ 5 coupon from
because we only had the smart phone view versus a hard copy. This truly annoyed me…
It was an awful experience from start to finish!!! Never again!!!

I had the steak tacos and they were very tasty. The hubby had pork ones. The food here is pretty good but the building is run down and dirty. It is a huge place, I am guessing it was really beautiful at one time. Bathroom was pretty gross. The place was dead and there were «pepper mixes» on every table just sitting out. Kind of turned me off.

Today was my first time eating here and the food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back to try a margarita with my meal!

BEST MEXICAN FOOD. PERIOD.
Sorry people. El Taco Real is OK but Casa Blanca beats it easily. And that’s based on the food alone. Factor in the old school charm of the Casa Blanca interior, and it’s no contest (I never understood what all the fuss was about with ETR, it’s average at best). I’ve been coming to the white house now for over 30 years, and I’ve eaten a LOT of Mexican chow in that time, and I can honestly say the Carna Asada at Casa Blanca is the best I’ve ever had. And I live in L.A. now which is pretty much Mexico anyways. L.A. food basically sucks but it does have TONS of great Mexican. Still, Casa Blanca beats it all. Don’t ever change, Casa Blanca. And don’t let a bunch of guerros tell you what makes a great Mexican restaurant. You clearly know what you’re doing.

The kitschy interior of Casa Blanca is worth the trip in and of itself. Arched windows and doorways, ornate wrought iron, brightly colored tile, a ceramic fountain big enough to wade in, and (wait for it) pink pleather horseshoe booths. When I say pink, I’m talking about Pepto-​Bismol pink. It’s fabulous.
The servers are a bit slow, even when the place isn’t crowded. I absolutely love the chips and salsa; thick corn chips warmed before they come to the table and super spicy salsa. I love the cheese dip, but $ 7.99 per order is a bit steep. Margaritas are decent, but they only offer one size… small. However, the deluxe nachos are NOT to be missed. Individual round corn chips each have beans, seasoned beef, guac, cheese, and sour cream topped with a single jalapeño or pickled carrot slice. It’s the greatest way to share a plate of nachos since it doesn’t get soggy or gross. If you’re like me, you get a little snippy when your table mate piles all the good stuff onto their plate, but these little beauties ensure you’ll have a perfect bite of nacho deliciousness every time. Faster service, margaritas the size of a fishbowl, and better deals for appetizers would merit Casa Blanca 4 stars.

It just doesn’t get any better than this. Seriously. I’ve been coming here since the 70’s and have no intention of stopping!

This place used to be so beautiful. It is a little run down now. The different shades of pink in the dining room are a little overwhelming. The bathrooms also had the old towels rolls. Yuck. I wish that they would restore this place to its former glory.
Our service was excellent. I enjoyed my margaritas and the red snapper. I tried a bite of my partner’s burrito and it was also good.

I have always seen this place and wanted to stop in. I figured a Mexican restaurant in EC that has been here as long as Casa Blanca has to be great. I was definitely wrong.
The place is absolutely beautiful inside and it makes people think that they are in a real Mexian restaurant. It was all down hill from there. The nacho chips that came out were clearly out of a bag and then microwaved to make them warm and appear fresh. We asked if the tortillas were fresh but the waitress said that they also came prepackaged. I was shocked and couldn’t understand how they could stay in business in that neighborhood. Then I looked around and did not notice one Latino in the place other than the employees.
I ordered the chicken flautas and my wife had the caldo de res. My flautas came covered in a huge pile of sour cream. After scraping it all off, I was left with 3 incredibly dry flautas. I expect the edges to be a little crisp since it is fried but even the chicken in the middle was dry. I couldn’t bare to eat the rice after the first bite. My wife’s caldo was tolerable since it is very hard to mess that up. It seemed everything was just thrown in a big pot rather than taking the time to slice the veggies, but at least it was edible after adding some salt. The guacamole however was amazing.
I sent a mass text to my family when I left asking why nobody told me how terrible Casa Blanca was and they all replied back saying that’s we they refuse to go there. My grandma did mention one or two things on the menu that are actually good, but I don’t have plans to go back.

Been coming here since I was a teenager. No matter how long a time frame per visit one thing stays the same, the food, the owner, and the pretty girl who’s at the register. The carne asada or carne tampiquena are all I get when I come here. And it always taste the same, MMMMMmm. Even the drinks are reasonable. Margaritas on the rocks are the way to go here. They got a kick. Restaurant is always clean and it has a nice Mexican décor to it. I took my daughter there for the first time today and she loved it and she can be a picky eater. The waitresses are also very nice and polite and speak both english and spanish. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed. Adiós Amigos!

Went there with some family friends. Casablanca has a nicely decorated inside and the servers are friendly. The chips and salsa were included with the meal, but the salsa wasn’t anything amazing.
I had the chicken fajitas for dinner. They had decent flavor, but they were not the best in my opinion. The meat was not as lean as i would like and had some gristle in it as well. In addition, they were not served on a sizzling plate or with guac and sour cream as i am used to. However, I must say that the beans and rice were absolutely delicious.
Bottom line, nice place to eat, decent food, but el Taco real is much better.

I’ve been here numerous times, and it’s a reliable place for a comfortable Mexican lunch. There’s a huge amount of seating. I can’t say that I like the tortilla chips here as much though, as they are extra thick and crunchy. This last visit I had their fiesta lunch combination, and it was both huge and good (chili relleno, enchilada, skirt steak, and a pork sope/​gordita). It was a big lunch I agree, but it was also late at 3pm.

The carne asada is very good. It competes with El Taco Real’s for sure. My steak taco was a corn tortilla full of cubed steak. I was taken aback at first when there was nothing else in the tortilla. So i put a little lettuce and tomato in there, poured some salsa inside and smeared some beans and scattered a little rice inside. Could be the best steak taco I have ever eaten. The steak was so delicious and there was so much of it — I highly recommend it.
What a beautiful setting. Amazing tiles all over this wide open space. Stained glass, working tile fountains. I could have sat there for hours reading and drinking Bohemia.
The Margarita. Yuck. I asked for a margarita with Grand Marnier. They don’t serve that there — their margaritas are premixed but I was assured that they were excellent. It was not excellent. The mix tasted like a melted lime freeze pop. I like to taste good tequila and grand marnier in my margarita and my margarita was just really bad. I didn’t let that ruin my fantastic experience there. I ordered a Bohemia and that worked almost as well as a good margarita.
I can’t wait to go back and try some of their seafood dishes. The menu looks amazing.
