There’s a reason this restaurant has been going strong for 68 years. I used to go as a kid and recently returned. Yum!

I took my husband and a couple of our mutual friends here in November to celebrate his birthday. Maddie was our server, and she took amazing care of us, including making sure there was a birthday card to my husband already placed on the table. The food here is consistently excellent. They have an actual trompo in the kitchen, which I've never seen in an upscale Mexican place – and it proves a dedication to authenticity. All of our food was excellent, as well as the drinks.

Our group of five thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Casa Mia last night! Service, food and margaritas all were wonderful. The 49ers game was on all the televisions so the noise level was a little louder than the last time I was there, but there were some very excited football fans there all enjoying the game : )
