Casa Puebla Restaurante — Restaurant in Hockessin, Delaware

Parking was fine, we found a spot. It's in a busy strip mall, so parking can be at a premium. We came in at dinner time. The place was pretty busy, almost all of the tables were full. I counted 18 tables total. The place was a nice little joint with a extensive menu, and a large meat selection. We sat at a table and were waited on immediately. The service was excellent, everything we needed we had in a timely manner. I saw some people knocking the service in other reviews, that was not the case today.

I ordered a Modelo bottle. It was cold and refreshing. They have a fully stocked bar behind the counter, but no real bar to sit at. From what I saw they had a decent amount of tequila selections, and every other liquor known to man.

Chips & Salsa!!!! Chips... fried perfectly with a nice crunch. They had no problem holding topping. Salsa...(green) mild heat, tomatillo base with onion, cilantro, and a touch of avocado. This was the perfect blend, and without a doubt one of the best I've tried in my travels. Salsa...(orange) Fire!!! Spicy in a good way with plenty of lasting power.

I ordered Tacos Dorados Al Pastor $6 : 2 Tacos dorados al pastor servidos con guacamole. Guac....cool, chunky texture, delicious. A little too hard on the onion for me though. Taquitos...Fried the living life from them. it was hard to even taste the meat inside because the fried shell taste was so overpowering.

I ordered Tacos: 3 per order $6. I chose De Cabeza (Beef Head). The meat was tender and good. Think pot roast consistency and flavor. It was on the bland side of town, yet very moist. It was much better with the green salsa.

I ordered a torta...Milanesa de res: ($9) Con frijoles, jitomate, aguacate, lechuga y queso Oaxaca. Breaded beef with beans, tomato, avocado, lettuce, and Oaxaca cheese. This sandwich was huuuuuge!!! It was impossible to get in one bite. I really enjoyed this loaded up torta. The breaded beef was seasoned and cooked perfectly. one of the best sandwiches out...

Absolute waste of money and time!!! I love to support local restaurants but this was a mistake. We were at Longwood gardens and found this restaurant few miles from there…reading few reviews felt like it might be really good new restaurant.

Firstly, the restaurant has no name board, when you reach that shopping centre or restaurant centre you have to guess ohh this might the one has that’s the only one which doesn’t have name. It was sunday night, it was empty. The server/host came to us and without waiting she asked our order, “ I asked her for 2 minutes “ she went off and came up with “ Lime water “ . Which we never ordered- Without confirming she assumed and put the order. Secondly, while placing the order she was not aware of the menu at all . She was not able to answer to our questions or doubts, nor there was anyone who could help us with our order. Actually after several mistakes of the server we got that either she did not understand English or she was not interested in serving us that day.

Food - We ordered -Mole chicken burrito - not atall good the sauce was very tangy -Chicken quesadillas- i had asked for grilled chicken - the quesadilla was absolutely a flop dish one restaurant could serve. -Rice and beans - the beans were spoiled and could taste it. Rice was edible There were complementary nachos and salsa served- the salsa was in bottles there were no bowls or plates served to eat them. Upon asking our request was never fulfilled.

Absolute bad experience…wouldn’t recommend...

I just moved near here and I had been wanting to find a close to home go to place for food when I don't feel like cooking. This place is definitely exactly what I was looking for. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is courteous, welcoming and kind. I've been spoiled with really good authentic Mexican food by living around here but this place is a step above all competitors. I got 3 chorizo tacos, 3 steak tacos and a steak burrito with guac chips and salsa and it was some of the best food I've ever had in my life. If you're near by this place is a MUST...
