Came here on a Sunday early evening after seeing a play at the Casa 0101 Theater. Service is top notch and food is excellent. They offer a complimentary sopa de fideo. Shared the appetizer Sampler con mi prima and it was more than enough, be sure to get to the nachos at the bottom, the meat and refried beans are delicioso!! Sorry, the food was so inviting I forgot to take more pixs.
The Mexican burger was delicious! We also tried the molcajete and enchiladas they were yummy. The only downside was the atmosphere the music was too low, making it feel a bit awkward. Overall, good food. Service was great!
My first time trying this place and it will not be my last time here! I had the mole poblano and it was excellent! They give you complimentary fideo soup which was very delicious! They should have that on the menu! They have a full bar menu and lots of beer to choose from. The service was grand. Ambiance is nice and chill with cool art and cool music while you enjoy the deliciousness. Chips and salsa are not complimentary. They cost $2 I think.
The food was good, we shared a few bites from all of our dishes. The service was super quick . We had numerous wait staff attend us and check on us. Very clean and polite over all place. Reasonable proices too.
I Heard about Casa Fina through a friend, went for the breakfast and it was good, lots of variety and had their cafe de olla, hard to find coffee, good. The ambiance is really nice with paintings on the wall from local artists, even the Muralist who did the Ohtani and Valenzuela murals, pretty cool. Its a definite stop again when I'm in Boyle Heights. They also do military discount which is rare nowadays so I appreciate them for that.
This place is so damn delicious! I had the mole enchiladas and they were delicious, just spicy enough to give it that little kick, juicy chicken inside and the beans were great! The waitress was so sweet and great at checking in on us and I wish I remembered her name. What was a really nice touch is that it was a Tuesday night and they had guys walking around taking requests for music. Such a great atmosphere. I'll definitely go back and try more of their food again, especially since it's so close to my house.
Had a chance to check out this place while attending an event with the State Assemblymen for his run on City Council. There is a covered outside seating area. Inside is 2 sections, the dining area has several round tables and chairs set up for 2-4 people. The other side has the bar and high tables and a couple of chairs. I ordered a couple of drinks; the house Margarita, Modelo, Cadillac Margarita and Don Julio Blanco. It was a packed house and the Bartenders were serving cocktails with a flow of easiness. Amazing job. Had a great time.
