    This is a great little family Mexican restaurant!!! We gave it a try for lunch with some folks from our church on a Sunday. They accommodated our large group with grace and efficiency. It's a no frills, family run place with tasty food for really reasonable prices. We were very happy with our experience in all aspects. They even took our friend's plate back to the kitchen to keep it warm for her just because she was away from the table for a minute when the food came out. What great service! It's what you might expect if you were a guest in someone's home. Another favorite moment for me was when a regular customer came in, and seeing our large group, he paused. Just as soon as he stopped to consider this unexpected predicament... a young lady came out of the kitchen and greeted him with part of his usual order in her hand. She told him, "Mom saw you coming and said, "Matt is here!" What a heartwarming thing to see! If you become a regular, they will know your name and mom will have your usual order going before you even have time to sit down. If you are in the mood for a lovely meal at an affordable family Mexican place I highly recommend that you give this place a try soon!

    A lovely experience and reenergizing meal after walking for hours at the Rose Bowl Flea. The hostess was inviting and friendly. We eat at a lot of food trucks here in the valley, so it was refreshing to have a nice sit down meal and with even better quality! The food tastes clean and the tacos, beans and rice I ate were incredibly tasty with lots of flavor. Super reasonably priced for this quality. I can't wait to go back. If you're in the area looking for a meal, look no further and pay this spot a visit. The lighting of the location and the beautiful dishes warranted a 35mm film photo!

    Excellent food as always. The most delicious cuts of meat extremely well prepared. Filling portions, affordable prices and friendly service. I drive 30 minutes one-way for the food. They also sell Meats by the pound. On the weekends they also have the best menudo and birria. 10/10 recommend. First brought my parents, then my wife, now we bring her parents too. They love it.

    This is hands down my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Los Angeles county. It’s family run by the kindest people and the food is consistently excellent. Carnitas are their specialty but the al pastor is my favorite. And don’t sleep on the churros - the best.

    Feels like you eating at your own casa! Closest to authentic home made Mexican food. The staff is amazing, my favorite spot for fresh made carnitas since 2011.

    Decent spot for enchiladas and tacos. Tacos maybe a bit too pricy ($3.25 per) but it is a sit down place so it makes sense.

    I can't even explain how wonderful it is to go to Mi Casa. I've been returning for the excellent carnitas and great service for 8+ years! This is a family owned business by the most caring people, who make the best carnitas I've ever had in my life. Thank you for the amazing food throughout the years.

    I had a fantastic dining experience at the Mexican restaurant! The authentic flavors in their dishes were outstanding. The guacamole was fresh, and the tacos were bursting with flavor. The service was top-notch, and the cozy ambiance made it a memorable evening. Highly recommended!

    I tried the carnitas, asada, and al pastor tacos. The meats were dry and some were more on the crispy side. The red and green salsas were needed to cut the dryness. For $3.25 a taco, I kinda expected more from this place. There are quite a few places around here that sell tacos for about two bucks with better quality. The gentleman who took my order was definitely friendly so that was a plus.
