Family-run joint serving traditional Mexican in an airy environment

MexiCasa

Ok but nothing special, I've had way better Mexicans around the country. The fries were nice, the restaurant was clean and today and the waitress was very friendly but that's about it. The enchiladas were bland and the tortillas were dry, hard and tasted stale. The beans were nice but the rice was stodgy. I felt it was a bit pricey for the quality and they also stuck a service charge on which I didn't like. Safe to say I won't be returning again 🙅🏻‍♂️

Located within walking distance of Stratford station.
This little hidden gem is definitely worth a visit. When you walk through the door, the atmosphere reminds me of being in rural Mexico. The staff were very friendly and provided great service with a friendly smile.
The menu was varied, and the food was impressively tasty. We didn’t have to wait long either.
We went for the platillos, and we were impressed by the portion size. Three are more than enough for two people.
Overall it’s a fantastic place if you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, which is good value for money and leave you wanting more.

Located in Stratford, @mexicasa377 serves authentic halal Mexican cuisine. The extensive menu will leave you with something to taco about🤭
We tried the following:

𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘀 𝗔𝗹 𝗔𝗷𝗶𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗲 (𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗼𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗽)

Upon entering, we received a very warm welcome from the waiter. We were seated promptly & I was instantly impressed by the menu. I asked for recommendations & opted for those dishes. The nachos were delicious & extremely filling. The portion size was huge, you could easily share this with a few people. I love wings and more often than not, if I spot it on a menu, I’ll order it. We chose the Chipotle bravo wings. They were tender & had a spicy kick. The delicious marinade will certainly make you want to lick your fingers as they were very flavoursome. The Quesadillas (3 in 1 portion) were loaded with beef, beans and lots of cheese. I absolutely loved these. They were well seasoned & the sauce complimented it well. Who doesn’t love a melty, cheesy quesadilla😋
Whilst the Ternera en salsa (6 hour braised beef) was cooked well, I found the dish itself dry. If it came with some of the juices/gravy, this would have been a great dish.
The garlic shrimp tacos were relatively small, I was expecting more filling as you had to take a few bites before getting to the filling. However, the prawns themselves were tasty.
The Beef Enchildas were served with frijoles (black beans) and Mexican rice topped with Tinga sauce. This was scrumptious, all the flavours worked very well.

I loved the fact that their children’s menu had a varied option!
Overall, we had a lovely evening & really enjoyed most of the dishes. If you’re looking for a casual, dining experience with a great ambience, it’s definitely worth checking out.

I ordered a sharing platter but the food was pretty average. There was no flavour, wings tasted like they were microwaved. The beef had at least 80% fat which isn't ideal at all and the prawns tasted as if they were cooked a few days before. All in all, the quality of food was poor however the service and staff were exceptional.

The restaurant itself looks great, food is really good, staff is very nice. They have special (cheaper :) ) prices for lunch, but everything we tried was still great, and freshly made.  Not a "high end" place, but definitively recommended, and will I go back and bring friends.

All our food is Halal. We do not serve Pork, however we do have an alcoholic bar. Mocktails are prepared and served separately.
