Casa Deli Restaurant — Restaurant in Savage

The food is ridiculously priced for the money. All the food was warm at best, not hot at all. I had the chilaquiles and the beans were too salty and the eggs had that strong eggy smell. The portions were very small for a plate they are charging 20 dollars for. The dish without meat is 14$ but if you want to add meat it’s and extra 4-6$ we ordered the cafe de olla, which also wasn’t hot, and it was terrible. It was very bitter and didn’t have any of the cinnamon flavor it is supposed to have. The spice level on the salsas are also misleading. I had the habanero one with my food and it wasn’t spicy at all. The only thing that was actually good was the giant concha (bread). I would say the service was great but the lady really served cold food and thought that was ok so 2 stars for that. In the Menu they have the name of a chef, I don’t know if he makes all the food but he should stop calling himself a chef since he really did Mexican food a disservice by claiming he can cook Mexican food. Don’t waste your money here. The place is also quite small with tables cramped together. I don’t know if they are trying to save on heating but for a small building it was cold in there so if you go in the winter you’ll probably be eating with your jacket on the whole time. The bill for 3 people came out over 100$ so save up if you really want to try it. The giant concha is priced at 22$ and you can...

Let me begin by saying: I was not the same person walking out of Casa Deli as I was walking in. No, I transformed. My chakras aligned. My credit score improved. My skin cleared. I briefly spoke fluent Spanish despite 3 years of high school French. Such is the power of a taco lovingly cradled by the culinary gods of Casa Deli.

The chips and salsa? Not an appetizer—an initiation. Each crunchy triangle felt like a prophecy being fulfilled, each scoop of salsa a glimpse into the divine. I swear I saw the face of Quetzalcoatl smiling at me in a swirl of roasted tomato.

Then came the tacos. To call them “food” is like calling the Sistine Chapel a “nice doodle.” The carnitas melted in my mouth as though every pig had lived a full, happy life, gone to college, and written poetry before arriving at this final, noble destiny. The tortillas? Pillows woven by angels and lightly kissed by the sun itself.

Halfway through my meal, I felt time slow. The mariachi music in the background synced with the beating of my heart. A child at the next table took his first steps. Somewhere, an old feud was forgiven.

By the end, I wasn’t just full. I was reborn. I left Casa Deli floating three inches above the sidewalk, whispering “gracias” to strangers, radiating peace like a walking churro-scented beacon of hope.

Five stars? Insufficient. This place deserves its own...

Casa Deli Savage is an absolute gem of a Mexican restaurant that truly deserves five stars. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warm and friendly service that made us feel right at home. The highlight of our dining experience was undoubtedly the woodfired chicken, which was cooked to perfection with a smoky and flavorful char. The tender and juicy meat paired beautifully with the accompanying sides, creating a delightful burst of Mexican flavors in every bite.

What truly sets Casa Deli Savage apart is their welcoming atmosphere for families. We brought our infant and toddler along, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The restaurant had a kid-friendly ambiance and even provided high chairs and a children's menu. It was a relief to be able to enjoy a delicious meal without any stress or fuss. Additionally, I must mention the Paloma drink, which was absolutely divine. The refreshing blend of tequila, grapefruit soda, and lime was the perfect complement to our meal. Casa Deli Savage has undoubtedly become our go-to Mexican restaurant south of the metro, and we can't wait to return for another fantastic...
