We had a very good lunch at Casa Mexico. We tried the chicken and barbacoa tacos, along with the rice and beans—all of which were flavorful and authentically prepared. The atmosphere is casual: you order at the counter, find a seat, and they call your name when the food is ready. It was busy during Saturday lunch, but the wait wasn’t too long.

We recently checked out Casa Mexico while we were in Philly, and we must say that we felt like family and at home! The service, music, food, and ambiance were all outstanding. I loved the mole and could taste the care that went into making the dish. The pozole was also delicious. Now we understand why the chef is a James Beard Award recipient!

Had a wonderful dinner at Casa Mexico. Delicious authentic Mexican food. The atmosphere is very relaxed and family friendly. Highly recommend the enchiladas and any dish with the mole sauce. Thankfully the restaurant takes credit cards which is still not true for the barbacoa part of the restaurant which is the part that is the more famous.

This place is a vibe! We drive 45 minutes for delicious breakfast el gratin sarten and for lunch the taco salads and pitchers of margaritas. The service is always top notch and the food is so good. During the summer you can sit out on the boardwalk to people watch.

My family and I decided to go to Casa Mexico after realizing that our favorite taco place (South Philly Barbacoa) had closed for the day. We ordered the chicken with mole and it was served with delicious rice and beans and warm tortillas. The mole was perfectly sweet and spicy. We also ordered cecina tacos that were served with nopal and onions. The tacos were tasty and packed meat and authentic flavor. Our 5 year old loved the rice and beans. The prices are reasonable and worth it. The best part was meeting Chef Cristina Martinez. I’ve been a fan for years. We recommend Casa Mexico to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine.

Hey guys, first time in Philly. Hands down one of the best tacos, from the way the tortilla is made to the way they cook their meats! That’s not the best part, their Agua fresca 😮‍💨 is mouth watering! The atmosphere is beautiful! Very welcoming! And the music Is on point! 🙂‍↔️ 10/10 would come again just for this spot! How ya doing!

Do… not… eat here. First of all, they say they are the sister restaurant to James Beard’s South Philly Barbaccoa. Maybe accurate if we’re talking about an estranged sister with no cooking experience. The mystery meat in the tacos was nauseating, the $5 small plate of rice and beans were downright criminal, and the chicken was flavorless and dry. Don’t be bamboozled by the SPB association and think this place will serve you anything but well below average scraps.

Casa Mexico never disappoints. Always an excellent experience. Cristina Martinez easily one of the best chefs in Philadelphia and the country. Last night's mole was amazing. During our last visit we ordered the Chiles en Nogada, which were spectacularly delicious. The service is always excellent. All of Cristina's staff is lovely and so sweet. She's usually there as well, and I always feel like I'm in the presence of a celebrity because I've seen her on Netflix on the episode dedicated to her. But she's always so low key that you would never know she's THE Cristina Martinez.

Hello, just an observation for the owner who charged us and took the order upon entering; She continually recommended that we had to pay for everything and order with her. I think she doesn't trust her staff. The third time she told us it was annoying since she doesn't trust her clients either. I hope she finds a better way to control her leaks.

Best traditional Mexican food in the city I should say, but didn’t like my experience with the waitress. She brought us things we didn’t order. At first I thought they came with the order but no, they charged extra. And also please be careful always ask for a receipt this how I knew, she’s going to try not to bring it to you. We gave her good tip and even like that when I asked for the receipt you can tell she altered the numbers, my total was $73.. and she changed with a pen a made it look like an 8. So be careful with this. Don’t get fooled by how nice she is. I was really sad by this because the food was so delicious:( there’s was no need to be doing this. I hope the owners don’t have anything to do with this.

The food was very delicious, but they brought us rice and beans without asking for them and we thought it came with the dish. Then they charged us on the bill.

In the end they charged us 78 dollars and the total was 73 dollars, we realized this because we asked for the invoice and it was altered with a pen. The real price was 73 dollars in total and they had modified it as a 78.
