“01.06.25 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant Es Tu Casa 'Mi Casa' (Is your home my home) in the City of New London? 🤷🏾‍♂️ Well I am sure that I will be back for more delicious Mexican food. I gave them two 👍🏾👍🏾 due to serving me two amazing meals this evening! I will be honest and admit that the prices are a little bit "heavy" compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area but overall I really enjoyed my meals and the atmosphere at Mi Casa's a lot!

“Really nice CT hole in the wall spot. A bit away from the busy downtown area of Niantic, and right past the famous Book Barn, if you're coming from the North. Inside is nice an cool, with enough space for people to eat. As well as outside tables by the porch or the front of the venue if it's nice and cool.

Eventhough it was busy, these people were fast.

Once you get in, you go right to the front desk and order. If there's a line, make sure to have already picked what you want. Don't wait last second to figure it out. It's not polite. Then pay and get your receipt and your number.

Take a seat and make sure the waiter and waitress sees the number for your food.

We had a pleasant time. They have two doors so you dont have to leave the same way you came in and bathrooms.

If you have children or wheelchair, make sure to have someone to order for you since the first step of the venue is tall. Making it hard to get in for wheelchair ♿ people.

Decent parking space. Just pay attention with the ongoing traffic. People drive too fast and they stop for nothing when you are leaving the plaza.“

“It was nice when I went. The food is good, restaurant appeared clean. The only things that needed repair was a soda machine that was spraying soda, just a little. Otherwise, the food server was friendly & explained to me how to order.“
