Casa Ramos — Restaurant in Emporia

I chose this restaurant, because it had great reviews and it was one of the few restaurants open after 6 pm. When I walked in it looked small. The lobby looked a little shabby. Then they walked me back to the dining area and it was huge well lit and lovely. The silverware looked beautiful. It was sparking clean and without any smudges! The table and booth were very clean. I decided to try something new. I ordered the spinach enchiladas. I also ordered guacamole and pico de gallo. The enchiladas we're very good, but not really vegetarian as described. I'm not vegetarian so I was fine. The filling also had mushrooms and onions and was quite delicious. The enchiladas also had cheese! The Verde sauce was great.

I was expecting refried beans and was instead surprised with whole beans. I'm sure the menu mentioned it, but I was just looking for a menu item with Verde sauce and I'm sure just over looked that. I didn't think the beans were that great.

The pico de gallo serving was bigger than at other restaurants, but there was so much cilantro in, that it was all you could taste, and not spicy enough for me.

The guacamole tasted good but it had large chunks of avocado in it and it made it difficult to pick up with the chips. Also it might have been better served in a bowl in one large scoop then two small scoops on a plate.

I was surprised by the house salsa. It was spicy and delicious! I usually order the pico de gallo and guacamole because I usuallyudon't like the house salsa. That will teach me to taste the salsa first next time.

I know from an old boss, I had that came from a southern state that certain terms of endearment are just part of the southern charm. Although my waiter was very nice and extremely attentive I still felt very uncomfortable being called darling and sweetheart. Maybe just eating there alone, or it's just me, but I really didn't care for it.

As you can see by my check the prices were very good. I left full and with my budget in check. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and I would definitely return if I find myself in Emporia...

This place is epic. This is our first time here and we will make this a regular stop on our travels between Wichita and Kansas City. The waitress made a first appearance quickly. She got our order for drinks. We received chips and salsa and an offer for appetizers. We got a small bowl of white cheese sauce to go with the chips. Here's the deal. I don't tolerate onions and I'm a wimp with spicy food; I mean, a medium sized bag of nacho cheese Doritos starts to get too spicy for me. So, when I say that the cheese sauce barely started to be spicy, you can take that as being not as spicy as nacho cheese Doritos...and delicious. I asked the waitress what kind of a choice has no onions and no spicy. My order was "Camerones La Diabla, no onions, no spicy, with corn tortillas." My wife loves onions. She picked out something traditional and it was most delicious for her. Our plates were huge! No exaggeration, each of our plates were one foot diameter shallow bowls FILLED with food. Mine had shrimp and red sauce that was definitely not spicy at all, and tasted fabulous. I also liked that the corn tortillas were so flexible that they could be rolled up tight (for dipping in that cheese sauce) without crumbling and cracking. The food was excellent. The service was great. The place was clean with a great atmosphere. I couldn't even eat half of my dish. We had to-go boxes. I didn't have room in my stomach, but I ordered a flan dessert for each of us. That, too, tasted most delicious. The prices could have easily been doubled anywhere else. The prices were affordable. We'll be back on the next road trip. Also, I'm in a wheelchair and had no...

This is definitely one of the best Mexican Restaurants we’ve ever been too! My family and I don’t live close by Emporia, so every time we drive through, we make sure to stop! Its one of those places that you can’t get out of your cravings after going! They have the best staff there, who are so patient, friendly, and have great care while taking care of you to make sure everything is just right. The atmosphere is fun and relaxing, making you feel like you really are part of the family at Casa Ramos.

Each time I order the food, I am amazed! Tonight I ordered one of my favorites, Chicken Fajitas, and it came out sizzling hot! The chicken was cooked so juicy and had amazing flavor! The onions were perfectly soft, but not mushy at all. The peppers were the best touch as well. The tortillas come in a little drawer below your fajita fillings so they stay warm the whole time you’re eating. It also came with two more plates, one with toppings so you can make the fajitas the way you like, and another with beans and rice. The amount of food I received was enough for two to three meals! And it wasn’t just my food either, my family’s meals were both just as huge when it came to portion sizes. The prices are so reasonable as is, but once you see the size of your food you’ll realize how much of a great deal you get here. For three people, we easily all got six meals out of ordering 3 entrees! So college kids, trust me when I say this place is worth it!

The staff are so nice too! They came and checked on us plenty without being too overbearing. They made sure our experience was good there before we left.

I would highly recommend this...
