Mi Casa is a story of family, of multi-generations dedicated to good food and festive times. Over 50 years ago, my grandfather, Barrie Moore, opened the doors at Mi Casa. Ever since, our family has been serving up hearty portions of Sonoran-style Mexican food to a devoted following. Our hacienda-style, family-friendly Orange County eatery has thrived thanks to our wonderful customers and our ever-so-tasty dishes made with fresh and authentic ingredients. All the traditional Mexican favorites are available, from tacos, enchiladas, tamales, taquitos, chile rellenos, and any combination thereof. I invite you to visit our family-owned, independent restaurant upon your next trip to the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa, CA, area!
Guests dig into cheesy Mexican favorites & margaritas in a festive space with ample booth seating.

Reviews
The guacamole appetizer, although a gigantic portion seemed a bit over priced and was just kind of thrown at us, rather than sold to us, since the chips and salsa were just average.
It is definitely a family oriented type atmosphere, nice and cozy but trying to get out of there or any service is going to take you forever, so plan for spending an extra unwanted 30 minutes just waiting around.
We went right before the dinner rush with only half the restaurant occupied, yet the service was incredibly slow, it took us at least 5-10 minutes before we could ever find our server on each occasion (getting to go boxes, the check, additional napkins etc). I’d recommend ordering take out/calling ahead if you’re ever short on time. Sit down will take a while.
Over the years they’ve had a couple different locations but this is the original and my favorite. The owners are great people and I’ve enjoyed watching the evolution of the different family members run the restaurant over the past 40+ years. I remember going in this place back when grandpa ran it, then his children were always at the front counter and created such an awesome environment. Nowadays it’s run by I guess you could say the grandson and a group of awesome managers that really make you feel like family. The waitresses and the bartenders and even the bus boys wave to you when you walk in the door.
The food is really good, not like other Mexican restaurants in the area, it’s very unique!
If you’ve lived in Costa Mesa long enough there seems to be a cross town rivalry between MiCasa and El Matador and I think it’s safe to say that you either like one or the other and to my knowledge there’s not very many people that like both . I am a MiCasa person and I will eat here 2 to 3 times a month, we always like to sit in the Burro Room where the environment is lots of fun and full of really cool unique people.
If this is your first time visiting this restaurant I would highly recommend the chicken fajitas, I wish they would put more onions in the fajitas and less peppers but I still order the fajitas 90% of the time. You can’t go wrong with crispy shredded beef taco, the enchiladas are good and what makes this place really stand out is there guacamole, chips and cheese and the case of dip. Now let’s talk about the margaritas, the margaritas are awesome and the waitress staff and the bartenders really do a good job keeping everybody happy.
I wish they had a couple big TVs, the TVs that are in the burro room aren’t the greatest but I heard a rumor that a remodel is coming soon.
Bottom line is if you’ve never been to MiCasa I highly recommend you pay this place a visit. I’m not even gonna tell you about their secret salsa because I’m not sure they want me to mention it but damn it’s good . I’ve been telling the owner for years to make a trio plate where you can get what I call the secret salsa, a little bit of queso and a little bit of their guac because again I think it’s their guac and the queso that makes his place stand out from all the other Mexican restaurants in the city.
