    Love love love. My sister and I went 3 times during our week long stay in Rarotonga on Muri Beach. The food is freaking amazing, the prices are on point and very much the same to NZ and the staff were so friendly, oh my god. I'm going to miss the enchiladas and virgin pina coladas! Great atmosphere and a nice open setting to combat the heat!

    Great little place to eat if you are looking for something other than resort food. Had enchiladas asked if we would like it mild or spicy which was nice as some places just have the one option or don't ask at all. Service was prompt and restaurant was clean and tidy.

    Delicious Mexican restaurant in Muri Rarotonga. My Robbie mai-tai cocktail was delicious and we ordered from the specials board, both were good sizes for fair prices. Staff were very nice and the restaurant and dining area was clean and tidy and very well decorated.

    Definitely one of the better meals I had while in Rarotonga. I had the pulled pork burrito which was very tasty. The staff we’re all super lovely and atmosphere was great. The frozen margarita was also a laugh.

    Lovely and bright inside. Servers were friendly and no mucking around. Partner had the Carne abode. Basically a steak but he absolutely loved it! I had the roasted veg nachos. Would have liked to have seen more roasted veggies other than potatoes but still tasty and reasonably priced. A nice change from the usual fried fare on offer.

    I had the Poly Max Enchiladas from the Specials Board (with tofu and vegan cheese), and can honestly say it's one of the best dishes I've ever had. The taste was out of this world! Genuinely phenomenal. I really hope they move it to the main menu, rather than only being a special, because it's just so good that it seems a shame not to offer it at all times! They are vegan-friendly, even though their menu doesn't necessarily suggest it obviously. They can substitute most things for vegan options, such as tofu, vegan cheese, and vegan ice cream. They are also able to make vegan pizzas with their vegan cheese. They take care with vegan orders, too - it's not just a second thought. This place was a complete surprise in just how good it was and how vegan-friendly it was. We will definitely be going back!

    A charming Mexican style setting. Great choice of food. When it came to service, for us at least, it wasn't the best. We ordered 2 cocktails and a chicken and a beef quesedia. After 15 mins the chicken one arrived. Then followed the first cocktail 5 mins later, followed shortly after by the 2nd cocktail, then finally after my partner had eaten half her dinner, the beef quesadia. But they were both delicious as were the cocktails, so I would definitely go again.

    Honestly, one of the best restaurant experiences which I have ever had. La Casita is a low key Mexican-style restaurant with a beating heart, in the middle of the Muri township on Rarotonga. Pasha, the restaurant manager, and the other staff, visited our table often without intruding. They cared about our experience there and Pasha, who was our primary server, made sure that our order was perfect. The vegan options for both our meal and cocktails were *amazing*. *Highly* recommend this place to anyone. Thank you La Casita.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ The islands best kept pie secret. All I can say is that you need to β€˜not’ go there and experience the best pies you have ever tasted in your life. I don’t want to go there and find out you ate them all and I miss out. Haha. Totally awesome place.
