Su Casa Mexican Restaurant

This was Taco Bell 2.0. I think the meat was actually meat, so that was the only thing different. Horchata was aight.

This place is basic delicious mexican food for not very expensive. I come here for lunch, as I work downtown, quite often. They have great service, and a really nice patio so its a fun place to grab lunch in the summer time. I’ll be back, again and again.

It’s just your typical American Mexican restaurant. Free chips and salsa! There is a nice patio area and the staff understands the importance of a fast lunch.

I’ve been here for both dinner and lunch. During lunch hours, it’s a nice place where you go order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. I had the Nachos Supreme and thought it was delicious. I also got the Black Bean Salad which was also great. Dinner is a bit more romantic. They’re known for The Mexican Dinner and that that did not disappoint me and my husband.
Their awesome service made my husband so excited that he gave the same amount to the person who served us Dinner.

They are so fast. Best salsa ever! Great waiters and waitress. prices are so low.

This is the cheapest, quickest lunch around. The free chips and salsa are awesome, and I’ve never seen a wait staff so quick and attentive. Generous portions and decent food. Love it!

Good place! I’ve been a couple times and it’s always been a good experience. My husband really likes the California burrito and the combination plates. I tried his chile verde enchilada and it was quite good.
I had the baja fish taco and the tortilla was fun and different because it was fried first. Beans and rice were good too. Not amazing, but good.
One thing to note about the rice– it’s cooked in chicken stock so it’s not vegetarian friendly. The vegetarian burrito is not great, but the tamales are.
We ended the night with the fried ice cream. It came with some cinnamon fried chips and LOADS of whip cream. All the garnishes were overpowering the actual fried ice cream– which was quite good. My preference would be to to just get 2 scoops of the fried ice cream and keep the other toppings optional.
In general, it’s a nice place to go and it’s not too busy.

Yes. Go. We love it. We decided to go on a whim and then wondered why we wasted so much time not going here. The staff is awesome. The Chile Verde is amazing. The food service is so fast. Huge servings.

The restaurant was cute and clean, the service was quick and friendly. My food (the special) was reasonably priced and well presented. Sadly it was bland. I’m a spice wimp so that’s saying something! Luckily I was able to help it with the complimentary salsa (which came with a generous portion of chips).
One thing for parents to note though; I went with my son. He requested chicken tacos with only chicken & cheese (no lettuce, tomatoes, special sauce, etc.). It seems that their chicken is actually cooked in green chiles. Great for flavor and moisture — not so great with picky kids who say, «Yuck! Green stuff!» LOL

This is not good Mexican food. For the same price you can get much more authentic elsewhere in salt lake. The rice and beans are incredibly bland.
My boyfriend ordered a burrito and it came with enchilada sauce on the side. The sauce was watery and cold, unlike traditional enchilada sauce. Don’t bother going here

There has never been another place that I have had worse food. RUN AWAY– Don’t be a fool — GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. You are better off at Taco Bell!
The beef had a really off taste (never a good sign) and the tostada shell tasted like it was one year expired and being stored in chemicals. I don’t know how they prepared that but I couldn’t even finish after a few bites off my plate.

I ordered a smothered burrito with cheese and onions it was 10.00 and it was horrible! Not only did it take forever to get my food but they stuffed it with ground beef! Ten dollars for ground beef ghoulish! No thank you!

Nice staff, good food but all their rice has chicken stock. They should be more sensitive to vegetarian and vegan patrons.

Canned meat, jar sauces, ketchup based salsa… everything is premade frozen and can garbage.

Bland and uninspring. I ordered the enchalada, taco plate which barely breached the level of Taco Bell. At $ 9.00 I expect better quality food.

This place is solid and always will be. Not everyone is trying to be «authentic mexican» and no one cares how many times you ate street tacos in Ensenada on your 3 day booze cruise. It’s great Mexican American food. It’s priced greatly and I’ve never had bad service.

The most un-​Mexican Mexican food I’ve ever had. I think we can all agree this place would benefit greatly from a spice cabinet. I guess it’s fantastic if you are basic. Not horrible but not very good either.

Sopapillas!!! I finally found a restaurant in Utah that has them! (Actually, there’s Las Glorias in Draper, but theirs are nothing like the ones I’ve ever had anywhere before – in a bad way) These are not perfectly light, but they aren’t super dense, either.
The Cheese Enchilada was everything I demand – cheesy, hot, and flavorful – and more – a few onions without having to request them, and a little hint of cinnamon in the sauce was a welcome addition. Son’s Lunch Combo Special (Bean and Rice Burrito, smothered in Enchilada Sauce, and Bean Tostada) was also great.
The prices are great, and the ambiance charming.

This food at Su Casa isn’t horrible, but it’s certainly not great. If you’re used to Mexican food anywhere outside of Utah, you’ll probably find the food here to be very under seasoned. While I accept that many people here don’t love overly spicy food, a lot can still be done to improve what Su Casa is serving and still have it align with the preferences of people here in Salt Lake. Specifically, I’d reconsider your recipes being used for the black beans and for the rice. Both were INCREDIBLY bland, in my opinion.
On the upside, I was actually really impressed with the salsa served when I sat down and the iced tea was also very good (this may seem like I’m grasping for anything good to say but the tea was freshly brewed and as dark as my friend’s diet coke). I also want to recognize how personable the service was. The server I had was very good and I watched as the manager very graciously moved a couple to a new table because they were sitting next to an AC vent.

Everything everyone else has written is true, but, with respect to my friends and fellow Unilocalers, the low ratings are out of context.
Su Casa is an Americanized Mexican restaurant that offers decent tasting food for good prices, with some nice outdoor seating and free parking. Don’t compare it to Red Iguana; compare it to a casual-​service Del Taco, or that chain your parents always want to go to.
Yes, their «salsa» tastes like spicy ketchup, but I’d call that «taco sauce.» Not the best to serve with chips, but the chips are tasty. And, as my anti-​onion wife will attest, there are no crunchy onions to overwhelm.
The food we got, while perhaps a bit watered down to an American palette, was still tasty. Super salty black beans, nice jumpy cheese in the enchilada, a hardshell taco stuffed with (relatively unseasoned) ground beef and topped to the brim with veggies, and, an honest-​to-​G-​d black bean taco salad, once again without onions, that my wife was so thrilled to find.
Maybe this isn’t your kind of place — and I can understand how it wouldn’t be. But so long as my wife craves veggie taco salads without onions (something hard to find and hard to execute it seems) we’ll probably be back.
