    I have been driving by here for years and finally decided to stop in for lunch. Wow what have I been missing. Although it wasn’t very busy inside the restaurant, the lunch pick up orders were out of control. During the time I was eating the flow of people didn’t stop and after tasting the food I completely understand. I ordered Camarones a la diabla, which is my go to plate when trying new places and I was very pleased with it. The shrimp were good size and had the tails already removed, the sauce was spicy but not over bearing for my taste and the beans and rice were flavorful. There are a number of other items on the menu that I want to try so I will be back soon. Stop in and try it for yourself.

    We met the owner Senior Martinez at a fund raiser and got to know him and asked what business he was in. He said he is the owner of Casa Martinez and makes the Menudo himself on Sat n Sun. So today we stopped in and tried a large bowl of Menudo n one of Pozole with homemade tortillas and two coffees. First of all parking is very tight and we parked down the neighborhood. Second it gets real busy by 9am were the line starts lining up out the door. We were there at 8:30am. So we got a table with no problem. The Menudo had a deep dark red chile color and the flavor was very good with medium hot Spicy flavor. The corn had good texture with a little snap not mushy. The stomach lining was cooked just right. As for the Pozole it came with plenty of beef and corn. The red soup was also very tasty. The homemade white corn tortillas were perfect. Even the coffee was spiced with Caramel making it enjoyable to drink in clay jaritas. Overall, it was the best Menudo n Pozole we have tried. Every other 4 person in line came in with a large empty pot in there hands waiting to buy Menudo to go. That was incredible to see. Definelty a locals favorite. Come and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

    Phoned in an order. Drove 20 minutes to be denied service for not wearing a mask at the register for a transaction that would have taken about 1 minute tops. I was then asked to show a vaccine card which I did not have on me. I was not offered a mask or offered a solution to pay for my food I had ordered. Mind you everyone else inside sitting down was maskless. I come here all the time and never encountered a power trip from this establishment as I did with this younger male cashier.

    It’s always a hit or miss with their customer service. Went there on the weekend for Menudo. After 30 minutes of waiting and noticing a couple of customers who got there after me but get their menudo first, I asked one of the female workers to check on my order. With an attitude she responded with “that’s how long orders are taking to come out”. She went to the back an in a couple of minutes came back with a completely different attitude asking to see my receipt. Took it with her and never came back. I got up to go ask for my money back when one of the servers came out with our bowls. He told us our ticket/receipt had gotten “lost” and that’s why it took so long. It’s frustrating to have their “ready” made menudo take so long and being told that 30 minutes is the normal wait time for it when clearly it is not. So we decided to stay and try to enjoy the menudo. We asked for a chopped up chile serrano to go with our menudo. No problem, that’ll be $1.00 and .50 cents for using debit because we didn’t have a dollar on us. Having the opportunity to compensate for the wait time, they decided to not care and still charge us for ONE chile. Unbelievable! Some of their food is good but not good for them to be so greedy and unappreciative of their customers…. Disappointing

    I only go there to pick up food for a customer, by looking at the price seem fair and always crowded. Heard some great reviews, someday I will try their burritos.

    I don’t recommend this place to any one at all I order a big order today 02/25. I got a kids meal with Dino nugs that were over cooked a breaded fish meal that had no flavor nor the nasty rice and 2 small burritos with no hot sauce on the side because I guess no one eats burritos with hot sauce the people there are incompetent no common sense. There for it deserves less then a star. And anyone that says the food is good there ether work for the place or are family members. Let’s keep it real nasty food in casa martinez

    Was great food and friendly helpful staff. The food is definitely homemade, no cut corners. The food is freshly made after you put in your order. Will definitely come back...their combination burrito was ok. Could have been big for the price you pay. They use a regular size flour tortilla. They don't pack it like most places where you would get your money's worth for the same price...

    Never disappoints with their delicious array of Mexican traditional food. Very nice family and great service. Tamales and champurado are “da bomb” during holiday season. Taste brings back memories of my “Ama” cooking which warms my heart.

    Authentic AND delicious Mexican food restaurant. Hadn't been back since 5 years ago. After arriving from Cortez, Colorado My in-laws brought us here mainly because of their gorditas de chicharron con nopales and their café de olla. Ama Angelina (RIP). Nowadays after my Heart transplant I'm glad to see they are still here and haven't lost their essence. The Caldo de Res is so flavorful. My wife says gorditas are STILL delicious! Definitely our go-to restaurant for AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE great prices. Wonderful Service

    At first glance it might not seem much. But the service and the food are at a whole new level. The employees are so polite and respectful to you and the food are actual real Mexican food. Like homemade Mexican food. Definitely coming back here and you should try it if you have the chance.
