La Casita Alpine Reviews
This is the little house of Flavor. Only a few tables available. Best Tex Mex for Miles around. I have literally driven 100 miles for thier food. Cash only, call ahead if you want take out for lunch. Worth the drive.
Excellent enchiladas. Both the green and red sauces on the enchiladas are flavorful without being too spicy and the cheese is deliciously melty.
I wasn't sure if it would be open because I tried to call and kept getting a busy signal! Now I know why! This place had the phone ringing non stop, and why wouldn't it be? We ordered a pretty large to go order, and our order was up in minutes. The food was incredible and the service is excellent. Would recommend to anyone!
What a fun little place , although it can seat probably 50 people inside and maybe 10 outside. Colorful, great service, and really good food. I’m vegetarian so the cheese enchiladas were perfect and good news- the beans had no lard and the rice no chicken broth. My husband is a carnivore and throughly enjoyed his ground beef enchiladas as well as the beans and rice. The place fills quickly so go early! 😍
If you’re staying in, passing through, or anywhere near Alpine, you’ve got to check out La Casita! It’s a hole in the wall neighborhood restaurant that appears to cater to mostly locals. Within 30 seconds of seating myself I had a basket of fresh tortilla chips and fresh made salsa…you’d better be ok with spicy because it is! I opted for one of the house specialties, the Mexican Plate. It’s a lot of food…two tacos, three enchiladas (beef, chicken or cheese), rice and beans. The tacos are filled with flavorful ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and freshly grated cheese. These were some of the best taco shells I’ve ever had…light, crispy and a great fresh corn flavor. I could have eaten a half dozen. I had the beef enchiladas and they were filled with the same great tasting ground beef found in their tacos. The enchilada sauce had the subtle flavors of sautéed onions and garlic in a mild red chili sauce. They were covered in gooey melted cheese, as were the homemade refried beans. If you’re looking for great Tex-Mex food in the Alpine area you should check out La Casita.
This is what Mexican food should taste like. I couldn’t get enough. I’m not quite sure if I have ever publicly sopped up the last of the enchilada sauce on a plate with a tortilla. The sauce was out of this world. The only other crispy taco shells that I’ve had this good in my life were my mothers – God bless her soul. For crispy tacos- the freshness of the lettuce, tomatoes and cheese was what you could only achieve at home. The carne asada was sheer perfection. The salsa was too spicy for my liking, but another in our party inhaled two bowls by himself. No thrills, no frills inside. None needed. The food speaks for itself. They close at 3 pm. Cash only-no plastic.
To be fair, they were out of what I wanted, so I had to order something else. The food was ok, just not what I was hoping for. Service and atmosphere were good. They were busy, so that's usually a good sign as well.
Good food, but they were closed at 7:30 despite signage and this site saying 8:00. Why do Alpine businesses have such a hard time working posted hours? If you're gonna be closing, change your signs!
We went to tour the Sul Ross campus and stopped to try out this restaurant we heard about. I tried the flautas my niece had and they were delicious! I ordered the green cheese enchiladas, but was given chicken. I switched with my son who got the red cheese enchiladas. I'm just not a fan of chicken enchiladas. The food was GREAT! But the service could have been a little better. The fact that they had given me a wrong order was disregarded and nothing was done about it.
Some of the other reviews we had seen pegged the outside quite well. It is a house converted into a restaurant, on a residential street. However after being in business for 41 years, I think they're doing something right. We came for my wife's birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. TripAdvisor gave it one dollar sign, and I don't think that's exactly accurate. Two adult males into children's meals with water and tea was $40. However the portions were large and the food was really good. The restaurant was clean, quaint, and filled with locals. Wee would definitely eat here again.
The place is located on outskirts of Alpine. I ordered chicken enchiladas and chicken tacos. The chicken tacos were good but the enchilada dish didn't had any salt in it resulting in a bland taste. It had lot of cheese which would have made it awesome but without salt it was useless. Same with the sides they provided, refried beans and the rice, there was no salt in those too. The place is cash only.
2.0 | the staff was very friendly but sadly the food was not great at all. I felt like the guac had sour cream? it didn't have seasoning, lime, onion, any of the normal things you'd expect in traditional guacamole. the rice and beans we left on the plate bc it just looked like mush, and the steak was quite chewy and overdone. sadly it seems like the authenticity of Mexican cuisine has been lost to cater to its crowd. unfortunately, I would not recommend.
Food was ok the queso con puesto was over salted. The staff for whatever reason didn't want to help our table out they kept going around to all the other tables. When I requested to have the queso plate swapped with another plate because it was way to salty the waitress made a face. Also be advised that cash or check is only accepted here!
I Did not even bother to eat here. I ask if I could seat outside because it was a party of 5. They told me we don't serve outside just get it to go and you could seat outside. So then I say ok we seat inside but there is not a big table available for a party of 5. No help, we seat and waited for our party. Few min have pass no help. I just walk out. Then another lady which by the way that one was nice. Then offer to acomodate us. But at that point, no im leaving! That should of have being done when I walk in. So no.
