The only reason I say the food was only three stars is because they were out of my first 2 picks. This made me nervous, but the only reason there was a shortage was because it was so good. Can't wait to go again!

Tacos are terrible for the price. Soggy stale shells and the ground beef has no flavor. Just overall bad food. Green chili has no heat an just taste like tomatoes. 50$ to hardly feed 3 people terribly made food.I Would not recommend this place to anyone.

!!$6 For FROM THE BAG chips and salsa!!I needed to start this review with that ridiculous fact. While the waiter and cook (only two employees there at the time) were pleasant the food was poor quality. We ordered the enchiladas and tacos. There are only two meat choices, beef or chicken.While ordering we were interrupted by the waiter several times telling us how to order specifically from him and not the menu. For example, he refused to add onion or cilantro to the tacos because “I needed to try it as it was”. For “tacos” We received corn tortillas that hadn’t been warmed or toasted with wet chicken on top, bagged lettuce, a little sour cream and guac, and the most processed shredded cheese you could think of. The enchiladas came with a hefty heap of raw onion on the top (but they couldn’t throw a bit on the tacos?). Our waiter made a comment that this was a “TV dinner” which honestly didn’t make us feel great about the food we were eating that was poor quality not only in ingredients but also in preparation.This place was WAY too overpriced for the quality of food. IN NO WAY AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE. We were sorely disappointed in our meal and recommend that others avoid this place unless you poor quality food for a high price.PS: don’t trust a Mexican restaurant with a “live laugh love” sign.

The quality of their food and customer service is just lousy and horrible. This was a good restaurant way back when, but as they continue to stay open for business their food has just gotten worse, and their prices seem to continue rising. I have been to this establishment multiple times and each time I have tried something different, but all the plates I have tried are not up to par and lack quality. The “carne adovada estilo Mexicano” was really dry and did not taste like adovada at all, their rice and beans are mediocre, you can tell they sit in a big pot all day. As for the $18 “Summer Special” plate the taco shell is very stale and bland, the ground beef is not fully cooked and just awful, it genuinely tasted like DPS school lunch tacos . I’ll admit the only good thing at this restaurant and on the summer special plate is the Chile con Queso, but if you want to pay 3 dollars for a tostada with valveeta cheese and green chile be my guest. As for the drinks, a margarita is 7 dollars! But it is just non alcoholic margarita mix with very little to no tequila! The man who took our order was elderly, looked about 75-80 years old, which didn’t bother me at all until he was constantly wiping his eyes, mouth, and nose with the same tissue to clean some type of discharge from those areas, but the thing is he did not wash his hands once during the time we were there which made me feel uncomfortable and unpleasant. He was also very rude and basically slammed or plates on the table, reached over people to grab cups and chip baskets without saying excuse me, and lastly he did not even offer to refill our drinks. Overall I would recommend that you should not even consider giving this restaurant a try. They don’t really have any actual authentic Mexican food, it’s very Tex mex, but it’s overpriced and not worth it.

The food tasted very good so happy with the fiesta dinner and coke When it came to price they did the prices in the menu were not right (simple color paper print) in the menu the price was $12 on the bill the price was $16 or 33% more The fountain drink was $4 , pretty steep for a multiple refil soda Place has been around for a long time and I get the feeling their regular customers get the menu price and others pay what they think thy can get
How this place has over 4 stars is beyond me. Anyone gave this place more than 1 star must not have taste buds, and must be blind. The chili was water and flavor non existant. Nothing was good and in fact we didn't finish our food. While I was eating, I could see in the nasty kitchen and I saw the old lady take a dirty plate and clean it with her apron. She then proceeded to serve food and pass it off to the customer. We were put of there!!!Parking: Limited parking

I once worked at a restaurant housed in the same space called T&J Curve Cafe about 55 years ago. They had great Mexican food. I truly believe that Cazuelas' kitchen and original dining area has not changed since then and pretty sure no cleaning has been done. The food is mediocre and their green chili is watery and without flavor. To top it off, the owner (I believe the name is Rosie) is positively rude. Why is it still in business? Got me stumped! I'll never return. I'm giving one star because I can't give zero.

The best enchiladas, pork green chili and crunchy beef tacos in town. Also love the beans and the guacamole. Wouldn't go anywhere else for good Mexican food.
