Casa Lopez Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Puxico

Family and I went to an ice cream place in Wappepello. After waiting over 20 minutes for someone to take our order, we got up to pay for our shakes and leave. I inquired as to why we were completely ignored, and was met with the BS excuse that they were understaffed. With 4 people in the kitchen, and 3 on the floor, it was simply a bold faced lie. Horrible customer service. I'll spend my money elsewhere, thanks. Typed in nearby restaurants, and Casa Lopez came up. So glad we decided to make the drive to Puxico.

Immediately, we were greeted and seated. 3 people were on top of serving us, even though they had more diners than the place we were previously at. After our drinks and food arrived, they were attentive without being overly so.

The food was delicious. The refried beans were a tad salty for my taste and the "cheese sauce" I could have done without. (Which is completely optional, it's apparently one of those "when in Rome" moments. I guess everyone in the area enjoys cheese sauce!?)

Everything was clean, dinner was priced just right and the dining experience was more than what we were hoping for. We truly enjoyed our experience there. I'm looking forward...

Casa Lopez Mexican Restaurant was such a surprise! Great food and service. We had the Speedy for lunch and I have to say it was on par if not better than some big city favorites. We had the top shelf margaritas for Cinco de Mayo. Not acidic at all and not too sweet either. Very nice! Update: upon our second visit 5 months later, we found the top shelf margaritas lacking. Very little tequila, no Cointreau or Grand Mariner. Probably cost cutting...

This is a little gem of a Mexican style restaurant in a small town. Wonderfully delicious food, a wide variety of dishes, and a relatively great value.

I hope the locals love this place as much as I do. Casa Lopez shouldn't be a secret to those traveling through either....
