I was recently made aware this restaurant is is now under new ownership. A friend and I had dinner here tonight and couldn’t be happier. The food environment and service was fenomenal. My friend and I sampled a few of their signature tacos to include a rich and flaky bear battered fish taco. Which was among our favorites. I also tried their vegggie tacos and was pleasantly surprised with how much flavor they had. All of their tacos are made with hand made tortillas. You can definitely taste the freshness. Our next favorite thing was their cocktails, we tried their skinny margarita” la flaka” and their spicy pineapple drink both were amazing. Over all this place has great atmosphere and supper friendly staff. The new owner was so attentive and such a pleasure to meet. I can honestly say I can’t wait to go again. 10/10

“I hope the manager sees this review!!!! After considering visiting the restaurant and trying the food for a long time, I finally decided to go for dinner yesterday. The first thing I did upon arrival, while waiting for my table (for two), was check the menu on Google. I was swayed by the photos customers upload, but I didn’t know they had changed the menu. Anyway, as soon as the waitress (Roxy) arrived, I asked her, and she had no idea what was on the menu and had to go to the kitchen to ask the chef. *First flag The drinks arrived after 20 minutes. *Second flag The appetizer arrived 30 minutes later, and she never brought us napkins and cutlery despite asking twice, and I had to ask another waitress. *Third flag When the food arrived, I asked the waitress for salsa, and she never brought it. Another 20 minutes passed, and I had to ask one of the assistants, who was very kind, by the way, and he brought it to me right away (a young man with dyed curly hair). *Fourth flag *five flag and every time I asked her something, she forgot. I think she was more worried about appearing in the video they were filming at the front door promoting the food than paying attention to the customers. I must say she is friendly, but she lacks experience in customer service and needs more training to provide better service. I know that sometimes they want to have young employees to give the place a good appearance, but they forget the most important thing, which is the experience customers want to have in a restaurant, besides the good taste of the food. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning to that place because I just read the reviews, and I’m not the only one complaining about the bad service, despite it being a nice place.

I had such a great experience at this taco spot! The flavors were incredible—fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned meats, and tortillas that tasted homemade. Each taco felt thoughtfully put together, and the variety on the menu made it easy to try something new. The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. The atmosphere was casual and inviting, making it a great place to grab a meal with friends or family. Definitely one of the best taco places I’ve been to—I’ll be coming back for more! ✨

I only had happy hour so it’s based on that. I found the food ok but I have a lot better at similar style places thus the mediocre rating. These places that try to “fancy” taquerias, have to be exceptional for me to rate high. For me, this was not that.
The bartender, Cruz was great. Very outgoing, customer oriented.
The vibe is nice with the inside/outside option so you can can take advantage when the weather is good.

First Visit, Sat at the bar, people sitting in either side of me uninterested in conversation (talking amongst themselves). Prefer friendly conversation at bars. Sunday at 4:30pm
They start all night Happy Hour at 5 on Sundays. Got the Casero Margarita at 5:10pm and the Baja Fish Taco (didn’t love it—fish fried in old grease—you can tell by the color). Guacamole was delish (unfortunately ordered before HH, but it’s only $1 off at HH). Chips and Salsa is pretty good—tried the green and the spicy in addition to the house. Margarita was ok.
Looks like a nice atmosphere in the dining areas. Bar was ok—seats not that comfy. Parking not bad—shared with several restaurants and businesses.

The food (that we actually received) and the atmosphere were great. Unfortunately, the service was terrible—mainly due to how incredibly slow it was both times we visited since the new ownership took over.
On our first visit, we agreed to sit outside on a very cold night because we were told there were heaters. The heater near our table didn’t work, so we asked if we could move closer to a working heater or go inside. The hostess said that would be fine and told us she’d be right back—but she never returned. Instead, she continued seating new guests at tables with working heaters. Eventually, another family got fed up and left, so we took their table ourselves. Even then, it took an extremely long time for just two of us to get drinks and appetizers, and our dinner order was never taken. When our server finally came back, we asked to check out and ended up getting takeout down the street.
Two weeks later, we returned with a friend and had nearly the same experience—very long waits for drinks, food, and service overall. During this time, we noticed the owner and friends hanging out and having a good time while customers waited.
We had enjoyed this place before the ownership change, but we won’t be back unless things improve or ownership changes again. It’s a shame, because the restaurant has a lot of potential.

The chips and salsa were absolutely delicious, and the mezcal margarita was outstanding—I highly recommend it! The esquites were incredibly flavorful, and the corn tasted perfectly fresh. Deon, our waiter, was pleasant, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend this place!

I wish I could give this negative stars because this place deserves nothing. Called ahead and no one knew what the taco Tuesday deals were or happy hour- isn’t that your job to know if you’re answering the phone?
Nonetheless arrived and said there was a 10 minute wait. After 10 minutes one of the 3 hostesses said they are just cleaning our table and should be 10 minutes- I was like another 10 minutes? Then someone stepped in and said table was ready. Why is your staff so confused?
We get seated and we wait. No one brings water. No one greets us. I even witnessed a server go by another table and ask if they were ready to order. The said we already ate we are just waiting for the check- I gasped how are you so confused you don’t see all the empty plates on their table? Then another server brought a glass of red to a table and it wasn’t even theirs. Everyone was just confused the entire time. Guests and employees.
We wait another 12 minutes and no one even glances at us. We just got up and left- and again no one even noticed or said bye. To the manager- you really need to check in with your staff and business. This was our first impression and we will never go back and I’m actually so disturbed by how poorly this business is ran that I’m going to tell everyone I know. Do better.

We have been going to Casero for years and always enjoyed the food and drinks. We visited the restaurant a few weeks ago for take out now that it’s under new ownership, and man it’s not the same quality food. I order the same thing every time (surf and turf burrito) and it wasn’t good. A lot of smaller portion, tons of spanish rice instead of protein, tortilla wasn’t grilled, the overall taste just wasn’t the same. So disappointing because I really loved this place.

Used to love this place! We would come a few times per month. Recently they changed owners and seem to have made some changes. Being that this restaurant is in a very family friendly neighborhood, I was a little surprised that they got rid of their kids menu altogether. I was still able to order a kids meal for our daughter, but the sizes/quantities were cut in half. My husband and I each ordered our usual two tacos and those weren’t the same either. Just kind of feels like the new ownership team instructed the kitchen staff to cut costs by reducing sizes, ingredients, etc. Pretty disappointing since this has been our favorite place for a few years now! Hoping this is just some transition issues and that the new ownership team is able to turn things around because we loved Casero!
