Casa Vieja Mexican Grill and Cantina — Restaurant in Cozad

Long-standing record holder of THE best Mexican food I've ever had, and I've been to over 50 different restaurants stretching between Southern Maine all the way to Central Colorado!

My only problem I've had there has been though no real fault of the restaurant itself, per say. The ladies who work the front of house don't speak English as their first language, and I barely speak Spanish.

No one ever checked on how things were and we never saw our server again until she brought the check. I hope that service does not become their Achilles heal. On a different note, there are only two small tortillas included with the fajitas and that's not enough, however, two additional tortillas are an...

I cannot express how happy I was to find this “hidden gem” (to us). We make the drive through Nebraska fairly frequently and, as vegans who try to eat relatively healthily, we don’t usually have a very easy time finding food along the highway. This was some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in my life; their salsa is incredible and we really enjoyed our veggie fajitas (sorry I didn’t get a photo!). I was even able to get some agua de jamaica, which I drank all day every day when I lived in Mexico, but don’t frequently get to treat myself with here in the states. I cannot express how grateful I am that we found...
