Mexicasa Restaurant and Grill

I used to love this place. Now the good waiters are gone and you are left with lazy ones who need to find another line of work! I don’t them lasting much longer here. There are many other options to pick from.

This place is decent. They have good queso and good acp but the service sucks. We had to ask for refills when our glasses were empty. It took forever to get a refill. Some things you just shouldn’t have to ask for.

Don’t bother. Used to be good but not any more. Tonight they were obviously having problems. Waited 45 minutes for food after ordering. No apology. No explanation. Never going back. Too many good places around that actually care about their customers.

Margaritas are good and a fair price!
The food is nothing special but it wasn’t bad either.
Server was friendly but not too attentive.
Their hours suck.

We have visited this place many times and we tend to keep our money in the area.
Overall: Meh, the food was just bland if you got tacos– nothing really special about this place. It could be so much more, I think some flavor to the food would be a good start. My husband and I have gotten so many types of variety of food here and we are just not impressed but we try to give it another try.
The service is NOT the best in the world. There would be times we would wait for over 10 minutes for someone for the love of God just to bring us our check. That is one of my key things with restaurant. They are here to make sure we enjoy the food and they are on top of things. They did not deliver and two weeks ago was the last time we go there.
Just be prepared to wait for everything. You are on their time.

The gang at mexi casa treat you like family. Mario makes the best margarita around. I travel all over the country and love mexican food. I can eat it all week in the south west and when I get home I have to go here. There is nothing that beats the food or the people.

The 4 Stars drew me in but unfortunately it was a let down. Like many of the other reviews the best word to describe the food is BLAND. There’s just no taste. Salsa is bland, cheese dip is bland, chips are bland and on the verge of stale… just not very good. The only redeeming factor is the margaritas are good and service is good. Probably wouldn’t want to return.

This is my 2^nd visit and 1^st review.
The girls and I enjoy an authentic Mexican meal! The girls split the Wednesday dinner special — enchiladas with beans and rice. I ate a side of guacamole with my refried beans! Absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh and make to order! The service was quick and the staff is very friendly! This is a definite repeat, kid friendly dinner spot! I love Mexican food and I love this place!

Really good food. A bit upper class type of Mexican cuisine. Bit pricy for Mexican faire. Nice ambiance.

We had some friends visiting from out of town one night who wanted to meet us there. Since it’s constantly being raved about by the locals, and it’s not too far from home, I had no problems trying them out. Might as well see if the other Mexican place in town is good as well, right? Yeah, I was not impressed. We were stuck in a corner and practically ignored all night. My husband and I both ordered steaks, which were pretty bland. Everything just kinda felt like it had been pre-​made ahead of time, then stuck in a microwave and heated up. Mine was supposed to come with tortillas, yet I was never asked my preference between corn or flour, and never brought tortillas. Even though my meal was presented in a way that would have benefited from the tortillas. We were also never offered proper knives, and with no waiter in sight, we were forced to eat our steaks with butter knives. You likely won’t see me back there any time soon. Which is disappointing. I really wanted to like this place.

First let me start of saying this is the first 1 star review I have given, and the only other two star I gave for a food place was because of horrible service. This one the service was about a 3.5 stars but the food, the food, OMG it was as horrible as it gets. My wife and I have never had worse.
I will say we both got different kinds of steaks, not normally what we get at a Mexican restaurant but they were on special so we decided to try it. This place has no business cooking steaks in my opinion. They never asked how we like our steaks and they came out extremely overcooked and dry. Without A1 I couldn’t have even gotten it down, and I always taste a couple bites before asking for steak sauce. My wife’s was the same, and she couldn’t even finish hers. Also I would think one would expect a Mexican steak to have some type of seasoning, but absolutely nothing, so it was also the blandest steak I have ever had a restaurant.
My special also came with shrimp, again horrible, the shrimp was not even deveined, had no seasoning and was extremely dry. In hind sight I wish I had taken a picture of my plate because you could see just how plain everything was, no garnishment whatsoever.
The salsa was thinner than tomato soup and really not that much of a taste, and the chips were not at all fresh chips that one would expect in a sit down Mexican restaurant.
Really the only reason for even one star is my daughter did like her rice and black beans and the server was OK.

LOVE this place. They have the best queso I have ever had and really great food. Service is always great also. One of the servers always knows what we want when we come in. :)

Have eaten here in the past and the food was good, not so much tonight. The chips tasted stale and the food was flavorless. Don’t know if it was an off night or not, but I will try another place before returning.

Very nice local restaurant. My husband and I wanted to try something new and different, well I should say I wanted to try something out of he norm, he pretty much likes to stick to what he knows. So, when he agreed to try it out I was hoping that it would be good and they didn’t disappoint.
To start off the atmosphere was very casual. It was a Friday afternoon and they had natural light coming in and no lights on inside, not sure if it was part of them adding to the atmosphere or saving on energy but none the less it worked.
For lunch we had tortilla chips and salsa for appetizer, fat burrito for the meal and for a drink a Jamaica. The tortilla chips were very good, definitely taste fresh and homemade, the salsa was just ok, a little too watery and could have used a little more flavor. The burrito also taste homemade, fresh and it was a good size. It was a little hard to handle but really not an issue, I was able to inhale the whole thing. The Jamaica drink was very good. The waitress told me in Mexico they call it «water with flavor»…I call it sorrel with sugar… it was good.
The service was great. The waitress was beyond sweet, very patient, explained the menu and I learned a little about Mexico.
Overall great experience. Our total bill was less than $ 20, that’s enough to make anybody happy for tasty food. I was pleased and so was the hubby. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because although the food was very good it was not a WOW factor. It taste like something I can try to replicate at home. I would recommend this place to family and friends as a very nice local restaurant to check out.

Just okay. I order the usual dish that I order from every Mexican restaurant-​burrito and enchilada combo. It was just ok. Very very bland. The salsa is way to spicy. My son usually loves all Mexican rice but he refused to eat the rice. Probably will not come back. Very sweet family owns the restaurant. I do love the kids eat free on Saturdays promo but I rather have better food.

Margarita… check
Cheese dip… check
Kabobs…check
Taco salad… not so much
Staff…check for courtesy and politeness, not so much for attention to detail. One item we ordered never came and they never realized it.
They were very busy and so we will come back because we feel the food is very good on the whole.

Well I stopped in because I saw the 4 ½ star rating which is hard to obtain, BUT the Enchilada and Taco plate I ate was surprisingly Bland with a capital «B». The chicken was possibly just boiled in a lot of water with little to no seasoning. I saw no evidence of vegetable seasoning either, such as onion or cilantro throughout the chicken. The salsa was not seasoned very well either and was watery. It almost tasted just like the glass of water I had.
I will say this; the service was fast and attentive
Thank goodness the food was inexpensive or I would have been mad as all get out.

The best Mexican restaurant! You won’t find the grease covered, premade slop here. Everything is fresh and delicious!
I absolutely LOVE the street tacos. They are a new addition to the menu and I can’t have enough of them!
If you are in Harrisburg, this is the BEST choice around by far!

Mexicasa is a delight to a neighborhood city with no other evidence of mexican within 10 miles. Nonetheless, this place will stand anywhere even in Texas and California full of mexican delights. They have a great Mariscos menus full of Ceviche and Seafood enchiladas. The traditional menus are good as well. My only issue if it is a bias issue is they only have guy waiters no waitresses.

Not in our typical neck of the woods, but we decided to go out to eat on our way to a show, and this is one of the places that came up as a possible option.
The location was a bit of a challenge to find, since you have to get into the parking lot, then double back a bit, but it is not all that bad. Once inside, the staff is friendly and quick to fill the chips and drinks.
Menu items are fairly typical for your Mexican restaurant, and the plates are well-​filled. Food is similar to many of the other restaurants of this caliber around town — not your authentic variety, but it will certainly do in a pinch.
