La Casa Mexicana - ALBION

Food was decent but service was a bit lacking. We waited 10 to 15 minutes for our checks then stood at the register for at least 10 minutes to pay while waitstaff walked by several times.

We started dining here nearly 10 years. It was one of our favorite places from 2014 to 2019. It was always packed, very lively and the food and atmosphere were excellent! We stopped in recently, we were very excited to return! Sadly, our experience was nothing like it was in the past. It started with the waitresses less than welcoming approach, which was more of a tell me what you want, so we can get this started and finished approach. We ordered 2 coffees, she replies discouragingly with it 's instant, do you still want it?! We reply yes, when did it change? She says, it 's always been instant! No, not when Jesse was there. It was a fresh pot and you didn 't have to ask or pay for a refill. Our lunch comes, see photo. Folks...this is not true authentic Mexican shredded chicken enchiladas. This is boiled chicken rolled up in a tough tortilla with a sour tasting sauce and bland. I was concerned to eat it and Gordon Ramsay 24 Hour episodes were playing in the back of my head. The restaurant had maybe 3 booths filled, including ours. It was prime lunch time hours. No students to be found. Maybe 5 dining adults. One rude waitress. The enchiladas and rice were undoubtedly microwaved. We are told new cooks and La Casa has previously shuttered. I can sadly see why. Old food, not tasty, abrasive service. It was nothing like we experienced in the past. We were tempted to leave during lunch. I think the first major change came when Jesse left. He was the heart of La Casa!!! He ran the restaurant and managed the employees and interacted with the guests like it was his own restaurant. Sadly, it is all gone. We will never return. I don 't know how they are still open and the health department needs to check their kitchen practices and dates on food, storage and handling. RIP to the original La Casa that is no more.

Very clean. The food was not good. Meats were dry and flavorless. Corn tortillas were greasy and soggy. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Chips and Salsa
