Great service. Nice full tacquitos. Everything we tried was delicious

Bueno! I think it's my new favorite Mexican restaurant. Lunch was fast to arrive, warm chips and salsa / bean dip while... waiting. Had a chili Verde chimi and tamale two item combo. Staff was welcoming. Decor is bright and I can't wait to bring myfamily back. Bet my kids will love it too. Read more

What a local gem. Service is top notch. Lots of seating including outdoors. Festive decor. Wait on a Saturday night was about... 15 minutes. Ordered the carne asada chimichunga. Love the tender meat and they don't use fillers. Beans are just how I lovethem. Chips are nice, light and fresh. Attentive service kept us with full drinks and plenty of chips. Read more

I want to say our service there was great! He was prompt friendly and funny! But the reason I'm giving this such a low rating is... that it was probably the worst food I've ever had dinning out to eat. I had ordered a combo plate number two tacos with groundbeef. I ended up with shredded pork and I know that because my friend had ordered the pork and it was the exact same. I had amargarita and it just didn't taste right. Maybe I choose a bad tequila but the mix was bland and my drink tasted like waterytequila and a whisper of the lime I squeezed in there. The atmosphere was neat and quirky. But the food was just awful. Read more

I've returned to Casa Colima a couple of times during Covid times, both during the summer and the winter. Their patio out back... has enough hanging plastic sheeting to protect customers from the elements, while letting in enough fresh air to at least givethe illusion of not being completely indoors. The food retains their solid, old-school presentation. Sometimes, I'm in the moodfor the classics, accompanied by rice and cheese-covered refried beans. Casa Colima is happy to deliver on all fronts. During arecent leisurely lunch, the Christmas playlist served up (by my count) at least 5 different versions of the song Feliz Navidad. Despite the potent earworm qualities of this particular song, I'm considering it a very positive part of my experience, goingbeautifully with my combination plate. (BTW, I chose a medium sized combo, and it was plenty of food). Read more

The servers were very nice and the price was pretty decent but I wasn't a huge fan of the food. Towards the end of the burrito I... found some white fatty looking thing in my food which ended my meal for me. Probably a random event but it was enough to make menot want to go back. Read more

We don't like beans but they came with every meal and with every round of chips. Not sure why but the queso dip is $10? The... food was average and service was still great despite it being crowded. I wish the fajitas came with any cheese at all. Theyjust hate cheese and love beans. The margarita was perfect. We left with an entire take out box of beans tho. Read more
