Casa De Oro

The food was ok, not the best or most authentic Mexican food I have had, but it was enough to fill me up. I was seated promptly, was not checked on again until I was 90% of the way through my meal. I waited around about 10 minutes after my meal waiting for the check, which never came. I had to go to the counter and get the check myself.

My mother reports: «If you like peach, GET the peach margarita.» The waitress was shocked that I didn’t want meat or dairy in my meal, but answered my questions & delivered what I ordered. I’ve had better Mexican food, but never better or more personal service. Nice work, Red Oak! We’ll be back.

This place is the bomb. Awesome food and awesome service. Always stopping by when I have the chance

Ok food. Ok service. Margaritas were far below average. Have eaten there on multiple occasions via work and each experience has provided a similar experience.

you have to rate this place for what it is. A gringo restaurant far away from any city. Would I eat here if this place was in Omaha? Never. But for Red Oak IA it’s pretty darn good. The carne asada burrito does not suck, and that is saying quite a lot for a Mexican restaurant in small town Iowa. My favorite restaurant in Red Oak.

We were visiting some family and were starving. We didn’t want fast food so we came across this Mexican Restaurant.
First impression was it looked decent on the outside, when we walked in we had to wait a few minutes to be seated; not because they were busy, but because no tables were cleaned off.
Once seated were provided with the menu and soon the chips with salsa. We took about 5 minutes to look over the menu and were ready to order… but we never got checked on again for easily an additional 15 minutes. Finally we get checked on and order taken, along with the table that got sat down behind us just a few minutes ago.
Food was excellent, ate it all. Margarita was a bit different; but they its still a margarita! Someone eventually came and got our plates out of the way, then we proceeded to get hustled and hassled over getting desert after many attempts of saying we would pass.
We waited for our check.10 minutes later still no check… finally decided to go to the counter and they printed it out…
Food can be great but service can ruin it all. That is what happened here.

Slow service. Average food. Ordered a jumbo margarita without knowing the price. It ended up being $ 17.50. Ive had similar sized margaritas for $ 8 at other restaurants. When we asked if it was a mistake the lady responded «jumbo margarita, jumbo price.» The margarita was also pretty weak. If I were to spend that much money on a drink, I’d expect it to have a fair amount of alcohol in it which this one definitely did not. Basically paid $ 17.50 for a slushy. The salsa was very watery as well.

Great food and a fantastic staff! I could easily make a meal out of the chips and salsa, IDK how many times we have our salsa refilled but it’s always alot. I’ve had to wait for a period longer than expected when busy and questioned my decision to stop until the food came then I realized I’d most definitely wait again and again for what was placed before me. In my opinion this is one of the very best Mexican restaurants around including all of Omaha and I try nearly every single one I come across.

This place is TRULY a treat. The atmosphere is reminiscent of my trips to Tijuana and the food is wonderful. My perfect meal is Raspberry Margaritas and the bacon wrapped prawns. YUM!!!

Best restaurant in town :)

From the moment I walked in, the super nice and responsive service began. It was busy at 630pm, so the first person asked «how many» and that they would clear/​clean a table. While I stood there at the door, comically «how many» was asked 3 more times from 3 other people! Had to laugh. Once seated, I realized just how super fast and work harding the servers and assistants worked to provide great service… and all helped each other.
Customers all seemed happy and pleased, and many locals recommended eating here. I enjoyed the warm chips and fresh salsa, a monster-​size strawberry margarita; a (smallish) burrito but oh-​so-​good chile verde; a chicken taco (tasty but with a packaged hard shell!).
All in all, it was a good place! A rare outdoor patio in the city, which is great when it’s a nice afternoon or evening. Kind of plain and unassuming from the outside, but oh-​so-​cute on the in. And, they are in the middle of a remodel — so it should only get better!
