Casa Mexicana — Restaurant in San Francisco

I drag myself from 30 minutes away to come here somewhat regularly. I can't overstate just how friendly the staff is. From the moment you get in line to when you're eating is probably under 5 mins. That alone deserves recognition.

Prices are very reasonable, and are a big part of why I keep coming back. I eat quite a bit for my size, and their azteca burrito is more than enough to fulfill my cravings. They usually have some sports on the TVs too, which makes for great entertainment while destroying plates of food.

I saw quite a few regulars during my lunch visit, and it was nice to see the staff chatting and laughing with them. It makes the atmosphere feel quite friendly and inviting, and that always makes the food taste even better.

If they could open a second location closer to me, my wallet would be in real constant danger! Great work to all involved in running this business, from management to the cooks...

Actual five stars. Not just because the food is delicious, but because it's set up to be made exactly as you want it.

The kicker for me is that they have good carne asada. The meat is tender, cooked right, and cut well. Often places will nail everything but have terrible meat, not this place.

If you have ever been to Freebirds in Isla Vista (UCSB as it was in early '00s), this is the closest thing I've ever found to it. Even compared to the other Freebirds in the Bay area.

I got the steak quesadilla, added cilantro + onion +...

While staying in the city and working on a musicians budget, I'm always looking for an affordable place to eat and Mexican food always provides this. The restaurants in Noe Valley tend to be pricey but this one has its prices just like the ones in the Mission District. A local told me they have it raised their prices in years and that's absolutely wonderful. The staff is extremely friendly and I loved eating there night...
