Delicious Tostada grande, wet burritos, (chile colorado is yummmm).. friendly hometown service, delicious breakfast on weekends only,. I also love the enchiladas and many other items.. old time Mexican/Mexican American foods, yes Combo plates and a large carte too!
Prepare for a wholly Ojai-coded review here.... We were in town from for a couples breathwork session. It was a really beautiful and moving few hours. Upon leaving, we both agreed that we needed something cozy, hearty and delicious. After some research, we found this absolute gem of a restaurant! We cozied up in corner both and were greeted with some delicious chips and salsa. We were quick to add guacamole, which was equally fabulous. Soup, salad, tacos, fajitas, and two cokes: one regualr and one diet, with lemon! The food was really great but mostly I'm writing to convey a lovely experience. The service was incredible and ambiance couldn't have been better. We'll be back!
I recommend Casa De Lago Mexican food restaurant. The service was welcoming, attentive, informative and kind. The food was excellent. I had a shredded beef taco and tamale. My husband had the carnitas plate. We shared a cup of albondigas soup which was delicious. And We loved the salsa and chips. Definitely a all around great meal and experience. The ambiance was very comforting and it's a family oriented restaurant.
Amazing authentic Mexican food. They were humble and told me that the cafe at Lake Casitas was their competition but the Casitas Cafe was no.match.
Another great meal at Casa and great service as always. Server Gwen is the best. The chili verde is absolutely the best.
