What People's Say About Place

Today our family discovered a wonderful new place — La Casita Cocina Mexicana & Cantina. We really enjoyed the steak tacos — the meat was incredibly flavorful and juicy, and the side of beans and rice made the dish even better. Just one taco was enough to feel completely satisfied. I also loved the seasonal margarita — refreshing, well-balanced, and generously sized. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service is attentive. We’ll definitely be coming back!

As far a food I feel like it was decent Def more of that regional flavor and what typically people expect from a Mexican restaurant. Some American infusion to it. Salsa not really spicy. I am not a fan of smoky Chipotle so the salsa that came with the steak tacos was a no go. But if you enjoy nice cheesy dishes with beans and rice they Def have that and in very generous portions. I will probably try something other than steak tacos if I go again. My kids loved it and ate well. One ordered steak tacos as well and the other a kids meal. Our friend ordered a mixed plate. It hasa nice vibe through and good for families. Like all places costs are going up but a great local place to try if you are in thr area.

We are new Washington from NM and this was the first place we tried for some Birria Tacos and they were exactly like the tacos from our favorite spot back home. Absolutely delicious every time we have ordered takeout or in the restaurant. The atmosphere is great and service is even better!

I love getting tacos and a XX beer here. The food is amazing. The decor is humble and themed but I don't go to Mexican restaurants for the decorations. The food is excellent and never disappoints. Easily my favorite comfort food in Issaquah.

Tonight I came in for dinner for the first time. The service was five stars. Our server was so attentive to everything! Chips and salsa, drinks, and checking up on our food. Not only that but our food was excellent. I highly recommend coming here and can’t wait to come back again soon!

Cheap prices, godly food (as someone who is from the south good mexican food is hard to find in WA), and even if you're in a rush, they'll have the food to you in less than 10 minutes! This has become a repeat location for us and we have been back several times to the same conclusion. The only thing they are slow on is brining you the check!

A great place for Mexican food. Had a Chimichanga and enchilada with rice and beans. Great flavor and really good sized portions. Family had quesadilla with rice and beans and chili relleno. We ended with fried ice cream, so delicious, unfortunately forgot to take a picture, but it was excellent. And of course chips and salsa.

Such a good find, amazing Mexican comfort food, all the ingredients tasted very fresh and my husband and I were seated right away. Yummy margarita, Super incredible service, our server was attentive without being overly distracting. This is the kind of place I would crave and would want to come back for the food. I took one star off because in the bar section the smell of cigarette smoke was overwhelming I almost thought people were smoking indoors.
