The service was amazing, very nice and attentive waiter! the guac and chicharrones were delicious, also the molcajete salsa. Alix makes the best drinks! I had to get some to go + she's really kind. :)

We were looking for a place that will serve soup, it was cold and gloomy day so we wanted something delicious and warm. It was our first time in this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Food tasted amazing, freshly made and full of flavors.. I ordered albondiga (meatball) soup and my daughter got chicken tortilla soup. It was super delicious and had that homemade taste that we love, everything freshly done and prepared. We also got beef and chicken enchiladas, and carne with shrimp plate, Jamaica and horchata to drink - delicious. Service was fast and friendly, you give your order, pay at the counter and go choose a table. Once food was ready they call you. We loved the ambience, clean, traditional, well lit, with beautiful background music. We really enjoyed our lunch and will be coming back

A few years ago, I met this darling lady at a benefit, and she told me how much she loved going to Casa Fina with her bestie. I looked it up on Yelp and saved it in my bookmarks. I finally had the opportunity to stop in and check it out. Casa Fina is a family style Mexican restaurant with an authentic ambience that is highlighted by the colorful artwork on the walls. We sat at the bar and received a cheerful greeting from Alejandra. She was an absolute doll - very attentive with a wonderful personality. A Cadillac Margarita sounded good. I was bummed that I couldn't have one because they use bottled sour mix, so I ordered a vodka soda instead. It was stiff and hit the spot. Warm chips with Salsa Verde arrived quickly. The chips were warm and the Salsa Verde was mild and tasty. PIC ordered the Ranchera Carne Asada, which came with rice, beans, & tortillas. The presentation was nice. The tortillas are made in house and are as fresh as can be. We requested flour but received corn by mistake. However, they were delicious so I can only imagine how yummy the flour must be. The beans were good and the rice was moist & fluffy. Alejandra brought us Salsa Roja, which was spicy and had a nice flavor. PIC was happy with his entrée and said the asada was tender & juicy. The dishes are a bit pricey but you're paying for the quality. The staff are friendly and efficient and make you feel welcomed. I can see why my friend enjoys coming here. *Sunday Buffet Mariachi Brunch Noon - 2 pm * $5 valet parking behind the restaurant. Enter on State St.

This place is amazing the salsa verde that they serve with the chips is my favorite. The food is delicious I have had the chilaquiles verdes they are amazing, also the taco molcajete I believe that's what it's called. The only downside of it is the parking.

Had a chance to check out this place while attending an event with the State Assemblymen for his run on City Council. There is a covered outside seating area. Inside is 2 sections, the dining area has several round tables and chairs set up for 2-4 people. The other side has the bar and high tables and a couple of chairs. I ordered a couple of drinks; the house Margarita, Modelo, Cadillac Margarita and Don Julio Blanco. It was a packed house and the Bartenders were serving cocktails with a flow of easiness. Amazing job. Had a great time.

Was taken here by a friend. I'm figuring Boyle Heights, of course, the food has to be good authentic Mexican food. Boy, was I wrong. Terrible food and the Michelada was blah. But the food. Fries were harder than hard. Nothing on the menu even looked appealing. If you like more un authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Otherwise, stay away.

The music was too loud at breakfast, took a long time, and they forgot my breakfast burrito.
Let me start by saying parking is complicated. One valet guy who asked me to wait 5 minutes for him to rearrange the cars, valet $10.00.Our server Mario, the worst, probably checked on our table 3 times. Took our drinks and appetizers and came back to take our food order. The table next to us who arrived at the same time had received their food and had finished eating. While we were still waiting. Our food took at least 40 minutes, and that's only because my dad went up to MARIO to let him know we were waiting. He didn't even bring our food out. Someone else did. I ordered the enchiladas en mole, which was good. My dad ordered a Mahi Mahi burrito, which he said tasted burnt. My mom ordered crispy tacos, which were ok, and my brother ordered the molcajete, which I guess is an ok portion? I usually see the molcajetes at other restaurants large. This was more like an appetizer, zise molcajete, with only 2 torrillas go figure. We finished eating and I saw our waiter leave, LEAVE ! As in, he finished his shift and was done for the day!!He never came back to our table to let us know he was leaving. I mean, we could have walked out, and no one would have noticed.. that's how much service we received. SADLY WE WON'T GO BACK AND DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!!!
I went with two friend and we all loved it. Great selection, great service good price and a real neighborhood vibe. The guacamole was terrific (though I ignored the pork rinds that were served with it) and we had tacos, burritos and chile rellenos and everybody liked their choice. I can't wait to go back again.
