Too bad this place closed. We went one time shortly after they first opened and thought it was decent. Tacos great, steak burrito was a little much, guac and chips outstanding.

I came to Casa Aí±ejo with my family a couple times. We always enjoyed the food and the service was good too. I decided to write today because my service and dining experience was EXCEPTIONAL. Our waitress Abby R. was the absolute best server I've had at Casa Aí±ejo. We told her exactly what we wanted and she made sure that everything was perfect. It literally was PERFECT and I know it's because of her. Thank you Abby for the exquisite service and thank you Casa Aí±ejo for the incredible food and drinks! My tip would be to order the mango margarita and anything they serve. Everything is delicious

We came with a group of girls and all we ordered was mini tacos - every flavor and variety. They were all amazing except the vegetarian one .. The margaritas are also dangerously good.. Fun place to start a ladies night of fun ..

First time... had Dave as our server AHHHHMAZING! best carne asada EVER , baja,and carnitas tacos delicious! Street corn on point, drinks -blackberry basil, hibiscus margarita, and the Eastwood delicious!!!!! Ambiance cool, comfy, service impeccable my new favorite spot. Ask for Dave he will take excellent care of you. Only downside churros were raw..Can't wait to go back, definately celebrating my birthday there Update Invited 60 FB friends to join me for Taco Tuesday 9 came. It was thier first time too. Everything was on point again. I tried two new tacos, octopus and veggie. Delicious!!! especially the octopus. Tried guacamole too delicious. We gave the churros another chance... same issue. Let's get something else on the menu for dessert that is keeping you from 5 stars! Until next time amigos!

Stopped in here awhile back on a bike tour of happy hours around our neighborhood. First and last "visit." Not particularly busy, sat on the nearly deserted restaurant side of the bar. Bartenders and bar backs stepping over each other to do next to nothing except chat with a few people on the patio side of the bar. Bar back brought us waters. We looked at the menu for a good 10 minutes. No one ever acknowledged us at all. Got up and left 5 min. later. Hostess asked why we were leaving so soon. Told her there was no one working at the bar. Went down the street to our favorite cluster of Windsor, Joyride and Federal Pizza, which is what we should have done in the first place. Shame on me for trying to give Casa A****** my money. F*** this whole plaza. All these restaurants here, like quite a few others in the area, are trying waaaaaaay to hard to skate by on image alone. Service, consistency and quality are what keeps the doors open for decades. NEXT!

I came here several weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed my time here ! The service was good as the staff was attentive but not "too attentive" if you catch my drift.. Their happy hour is amazing, you should come and sample it and see for yourself! Their guacamole and salsas are all phenomenal, different than other places nearby. The food was tasty but the CHURROS were a home run!! They are better than the ones in Disneyland! They come with three dipping sauces so they cater to different taste buds. They had chocolate, strawberry and pineapple dipping sauce! All of which were great!! We came on a night that wasn't busy, but I know on a weekend or Friday night it would be hard to park, so keep that in mind! Give this place a shot!

What can i say we love to try new places and this one is definitely going into my favorites! We were seated right away and our waiter was very lovely. The tacos were not only delicious but filling as well. I recommend getting chips and guac with any meal and to customize your own however you like! We decided to get creative and chose the crab with pomegranate... it was amazing! Don't leave without ordering the churros for dessert! Our waiter says that people like to call them "fluffy clouds" and they are! They are served with different dipping sauces and the strawberry creme is to die for! We had a great first experience here and will be coming back for more.

Amazing Tequila selection. The Machaca Nachos are outstanding!!! I will come back and sit on their huuuge patio!! The street tacos got a big thumbs up from my wife. The margaritas were fresh and delicious too!! Would recommend coming on a warm day to enjoy the wrap around patio!!!

As a former server I try not to be hypercritical of the service, but gurl. This may the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. We were sitting by the bar and it took 20 minutes to get a drink. Wouldn't matter normally; however, that coupled with soggy food, and a snarky bartender when I simply asked what he made. Made this rating.

Nothing bad. Just nothing stand out. Arrived around 7:30 p. on a Sunday. The place was pretty empty. Nice hostess made her way to the front from some far off place reasonably quickly. We were shown to a booth that was spectacularly uncomfortable - like a church pew with some throw pillows (how do they keep those pillows clean?). We could see the kitchen including the pass. I wasn't sure if all the people back there actually belonged back there as one was wearing a sweatshirt. Server was prompt, polite and made good menu recommendations. Requested "unflavored" black iced tea was decent but it is not unflavored. Bummer. Refill pitchers were brought to the table, thank you. No refills on water that I recall. They charge $8 for a good size portion of freshly made guacamole. An extra $1.50 for the salsa. The "hot" salsa was oddly flavored and not hot. Pico is pico. The mild salsa had good flavor. I think the menu price for chips and salsa is $5. Why do places think they can charge for chips and salsa? If I come back, I'll order the gauc (with none of their suggested additives ... pop rocks?) and not the salsa and see what I get charged. The guacamole is not priced on the menu. Recommended Flautas with chicken were nicely plated and flavorful yet buried under iceberg lettuce and pico. The chili verde was a large portion of soaked, shredded pork belly in a chili sauce with an occasional radish for color and some cheese. Served with hand made flour tortillas. It did not look appetizing at all. Not very inspired but tasted OK. No suggestion of dessert so I have no idea what they may offer. Worth a second try. But, I wouldn't go far out of my way for this one as other choices are nearby.
So.... This is my 4th visit to this place... Love the atmosphere.....2 of 4 visits... Where good.... Drinks... excellent the first 3 times... Tonight really bad.....I used to bartend and whoever is here tonight is....an amateur... Bad mixing.... The customer service lacks a bit.....server seems to have too many tables to be able to give enough attention to his customers... It took way too long to check on us after the food was served and after the drinks.. Which took way too long to be served in the first place....... btw the server multiple times failed to pick up plates we literally sat till the end... As I'm writing this.... With every dish and glass we where served..... They need to polish their service.....
