Nice location and good selection. Not what we expected but good. Value pricing on meals. Soup is great and chip. Of the 4 meals none were great just average. Seemed to be understaffed so no reflection on wait staff. They work hard. Food was similar to what you see at most Mex places. Not overly busy on Friday which is interesting.

Really good drink selection, but the taco options were a bit overwhelming. Everyone was happy at the table. The kids were definitely happier with the kids menu.

As usual we were seated promptly. The chips and salsa were, as always, served warm and delicious. The spicy mango margarita was superb. The seafood paella, which I was looking forward to, was a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT! A fair amount of mussels and small shrimp, no notable calamari and the crab was actually imitation crab. The small piece of haddock was the best seafood in the entire dish. This dish just didn’t measure up to any other meal I’ve had there.

Ordered take out from the website, got txt confirming order. Arrived 40 min later to pickup. Have no record of my order. Showed order confirmation. Then 20 mins laster order came out. Tacos had barely anything on them except meat. $2 for thumbnail of sour cream. Whole meal was not close to worth the price.

Airport prices for airport quality. Hoping for more authenticity and better quality.

The only thing going for this place is the atmosphere. I'm not sure what was worst, the food or the service. Waiter abandoned my table after dropping off food. I only had two bites of my meal and left the rest on the plate. It was really that bad. Will never step foot in this place again. Would leave zero stars if I could.

Expensive and food was very meh. Best thing we had was the queso dip. Everything else was in the range of ok to bad. Even the margaritas weren't that good.

Great option for Mexican food! You know a Mexican place will be good when their salsa and chips are great. And this one is… the food tastes awesome and the location has delightful outside seating. I had the Paella, and while this one has a different feel and taste from the Spanish version, it is still covered in saffron and delicious!

Food was great. Loved that there were tons of gluten free options and our lovely server assured us that celiac disease taken seriously. They even have GF fries! And my dog was permitted on the patio. Will be back for sure!

the raspberry margarita was delicious, as well as the grilled chicken caesar salad and steak fajita!

First let me say the greeting and seating was on point! but after we sat down the waitress came over introduced herself and then provided us with the nachos and salsa. Now let me tell you the salsa was very water so I asked for a side of the pineapple salsa, it was filled with so much cilantro you couldn't even taste the pineapple at all. Then we ordered the empanadas for starters and let me tell you OMFG they were deep fried in old cooking oil and were tasteless to which we both said what a shame because empanadas should not taste like this! My hubby ordered the steak fajitas and I ordered the fish tacos they both were not good the steak was tough and had absolutely no taste & the haddock fish tacos were disgusting and also had no taste . The entire meal from start to finish was so bad that my husband and I were like WOW this is totally unacceptable!!! either this cook is winging it or new. So for all the rave about this place please take my advice do not go there ! If you want some tasty Mexican food I would suggest going to Temazcal Tequila Cantina in Legacy and you will not be dissapointedwhat a shame !!!!!! I'm giving them 1 star because the hostess sat us down quickly and with a bright smile aside from thatthey suck

I was really excited to try this new Mexican restaurant! I finally got a chance to visit and honestly was underwhelmed by the whole experience. Everything about Casa Loca is average. The server was very gracious and friendly but unfortunately they forgot several drinks. The drink I did get was also not very good and do not recommend it, it was the coconut margarita. I ordered the fish tacos and they weren't bad but nothing to write home about. I'm glad I checked out Casa Loca but don't think I'll be coming back. Might be worth checking out but don't set expectations too high.
