About La Casita Mexican Grill

La Casita Mexican Grill offers a delightful dining experience with big, reliably good food at very reasonable prices. Their carnitas is tender and crispy, while the carne asada is surprisingly tender and flavorful. The El Pastor has a bold and smoky flavor, although it may contain a significant amount of grease. The chicken can be a bit bland, but the red and green salsa helps enhance the taste. The chorizo breakfast burrito is incredible, making this a perfect breakfast burrito spot. Customers have enjoyed huge burritos that are affordable, with many saying they would return often if they lived nearby. The bean, cheese, and rice burrito is a popular choice, especially for vegetarians, and it provides a great energy boost. Convenient seating is available close to PSU buildings, although some may find the access challenging due to steps.

The restaurant is praised for its delicious and plentiful burritos at a price that fits a student's budget. One reviewer considers it one of the best carts in town, with kind people and a good business to support. The cart is very close to foot and car traffic, and customers often walk into the park blocks to eat if they have time. The green salsa is described as absolutely incredible, and the menu offers great value, with delicious tacos and vegan options, as well as giant $10 meat or veggie burritos with cheese, guacamole, beans, rice, meat, and sour cream.
