Casa Blanca Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Wilmington

First time here. Cinco de mayo. Real busy. The front hostess weren't friendly and messed up our wait and seating. We were stuck in a booth way in the back around a corner in a cubby with another booth, shut off from the rest of restaurant. It smelled weird and had little flies on the wall. Got moved to bar. Then a booth. The music was extremely loud and nobody could hear or understand eachother including the server. The drinks weren't great (margaritas, margarita flight and tropical Tucan) food was ok tacos al pastor. Bland not much to it and cabbage and onion with it just raw nothing fancy. The silverware was dirty and one of the drinks glass had soap bubbles in it and the cup was still hot. I also saw on the table if you leave a Google review you show server and get $5 off meal. I was going to write a review anyways but then did it now to get the discount because the bill was $135 and not worth it. We were already charged so no discount. I'm not sure if this place is subpar today due to the business of cinco de mayo (we came at 5pm) or if it's always like this. They didn't provide a full drink of the crystal ball either there was no flame or 151. When I asked they said it was because they were too busy. Not great service and unhappy all around. Luckily I had earplugs in my purse for when traveling and my partner snoring, I've never had to use them at a restaurant ever lol but today was the first. I was looking to come here for trivia but after this experience I have no interest in ever returning. Maybe I'll try their $1 tacos on taco Tuesday but thats a big maybe and only because/if my buddy wants to come back then I'd go for him to see a good friend. I gave a 2 instead of 1 because I'm being generous and taking the holiday into consideration since it's also my first time and experience here. The flies really bugged me, pun intended or not, just seemed unsanitary and unclean. The bathroom was gross too. I'm not even a snob or super food critic but after being here less than 10 minutes I already wanted to leave, I only stayed because I was with my bf and best friend and we all decided to just tough it out. I read the reviews before coming and they seemed decent/good, I guess it depends on the person writing the review lol. Forgot to take that into consideration, the boys are easy to please but they weren't happy with this place either. Oh well, on a more positive note, hurray for the victory of the mexican army over...

I decided to take myself out to lunch, just past noon on a Friday in September. Although the parking lot didn't appear busy, there were quite a few others also ready to enjoy lunch.

I took a seat at the bar. The TVs were set to Divorce Court and something else that I can't even remember. The volume was not on, nor were their captions on the screen, so the Tav wasn't entertaining, but it wasn't loud and obnoxious either!

I was quickly greeted by the friendly bartender. A server delivered chips and salsa shortly after I was settled in. My chips were fresh and not too salty, and the salsa was mild. There are hot sauces available at the counter if you'd like to add some kick, though.

For my meal, I kept it simple with an order of the baby chimichangas. By default, they are served with chicken and are plates over a bed of lettuce and tomato. A generous portion of both sour cream and guacamole are also included with the meal (it's actually an appetizer, but I polished it off as a meal :) ) I ordered a club soda with lime, and refills are free.

Good service, good prices, good food. I'll be...

nice new mexican restaurant in wilmington. i did a take out order, and the lady was really friendly on the phone. i got an order of camarones casablanca, and also chicken enchiladas. the camarones was a big dish. there were 7 good sized shrimp cooked just right well seasoned. it comes with plenty of veggies, rice, cheese, and sour cream. check the photo i put up to see exactly how it comes. i got mole sauce on the chicken enchiladas... it was full of flavor and packed with chicken. the meals came with free, hot, fresh tasting tortillas and salsa. the salsa is on the thin side but it is rather spicy and delicious. the only thing i forgot to get is guacamole, and for that i am a fool. ugh... i love guac. anyway, the 2 entrees costs $30 altogether which is reasonable. i am not a mexican food connoisseur, but i thoroughly enjoyed my meals, the lady was friendly, and it was affordable, so to me this is five stars . the place looked nice and roomy inside, so eventually...
