La Casona

Came here since it was an hour wait at DPS. I had a frozen house margarita and the cheese was yummy. Waiter was nice and service was quick.

Not perfect but perfect for me. When I’m back in town there’s only one place I ever go. Queso is top notch and El Guero hits the spot every time!

10:55am. I came here because I was having my tires worked on at a nearby place.
Isidro was my waiter. He came quickly and was quick to bring my drink, chips and queso. I watched 5 waiters in the back just stand around with their arms crossed talking and then looking at their phones. To their credit, the restaurant opens at 10:45 and there was only 3 other tables dining besides me. My food came out at 11:10– awesome! Nice work, kitchen!
I ordered the seafood enchiladas, refried beans and rice. The plate was hot. The frozen margarita was standard, nothing special. I was sad that there wasn’t any sauce on the enchiladas, just queso fresco. Bland. I salted my whole plate and it made the meal much better.
All of the tables were clean, floor was clean, décor was very nice. The mariachi music would have been too loud if I were trying to talk to someone but since I was alone, no big deal.
Starting about 11:20 people started coming in and the staff kicked into gear. Well, some of them. Maybe I should have faced outside. I’m just not used to seeing staff stand around on phones and stuff in full view of all customers.
It was a good solid meal. I wouldn’t send anything back, and it was piping hot– which goes a LONG way in my book. The portion size was good. There wasn’t an empty spot on the plate. You definitely get your money’s worth. The food was just bland in flavor.
Would I come back? Sure! I’d love to try something else. I am sure they make food with a kick to it. My dish just wasn’t it.
This place certainly has the capability to do great things! It’s big, the kitchen is FAST and it is CLEAN!
I watched a hostess carry out bag after bag for to-​go orders. This place does good business, and I hope they are successful. There are many businesses nearby for people to come here for lunch on their break. Good luck!

It really hurts to give this only 2 stars because the food was really, really good. Everything was well made, and the flavors were fantastic.
The down side is that everything else was bad. From the obnoxiously loud mariachi band that didn’t take a break, and made it impossible to hold a conversation with anyone at my table, much less talk to or hear the waiter. To the service that took so long I almost walked out. Our waiter came to our table to take our order, about 15 minutes after our queso came out. We were beyond ready. Then we didn’t see him again until we had to ask another person for our ticket.
In short, I won’t be back. The food was great, but the service was just that bad.

Ask for Lazaro! Very hospitable gentleman! Great food, fast service! Very impressed. Lived the rice, the fajitas, the beans– not salty and not filled with salty bacon! We will be back! :)
