I live very close to this restaurant and so I pass it almost everyday. But my first time eating here just happened to be on Valentine's day. I had just come from another restaurant where I had such a terrible experience with the staff that I ended up not ordering anything and just left.

And so my husband came to Mi Casita as a "last resort". However, that turned out to be such a big blessing in disguise as this is now one of my favorite places. Firstly, when I walked in 3 different friendly ladies attempted to assist me or at least made sure I was being taken care of.

I ordered the costilla de res and my husband got the lomo saltado. Both were excellent. I liked the food and service so much so that we ordered take out again the next day but this time with family.

The sopa de res was very rich though we do wish it had a bit more meat. I took a completely different path and wanted to try their philly cheesesteak. To my surprise, it was actually decent though there was a comedic part where I found a thick slice of cucumber.

The pupusas are also heavenly! My favorite is the revuelta pupusas and though I get full easily I ordered extra just so I could enjoy it again the next day.

This place is a treasure and I'm grateful for the extremely friendly staff and professional management for running it so well.
