The large parking lot hints at what is to come. We arrive for an early lunch and the lot is essentially empty.
The instant vibe walking is Mexican American much as Chi-Chi's or Acapulco. The limited menu selection confirms my suspicions as did the clientele.
After too much time perusing the menu and testing the patience of the waiter, we settled on the Mexi-Club, Seafood Enchiladas, and the No. 6 Combination.
The Seafood Enchiladas, consisting of two tortillas with crab meat and shrimp, is mundane tasting and on par with servings by competing Mexican-American restaurant. If anything, it is below par with its popcorn shrimp. Come on, give me at least a 40 count shrimp size!
The No. 6 Combo consists of a flauta, grilled steak taco, and a enchilada. This ia the most expensive of the three entries but a step up in taste from the Seafood Enchilada. Here the food begins to shine and we think better quality than its competition.
Finally the best of the bunch, the Mexi-Club, toasted whole wheat tortilla filled with marinated grilled chicken breast, cheese, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, crispy bacon and Chipotle ranch dressing. This is different from competing restaurants. It is a synergy of a crispy shell with a medley of wonderful filling flavors accentuated by the pico de gallo. Everybody agreed it is the best. I had to parry the forks that kept making their way toward my platter.
There certainly is much food that we couldn't finish.
La Casita is better than its Mexican American competition but give me the real deal.
