I don’t know about you, but when I have mentioned to people that I’m going out for some Mexican food, I always get the same answer-- “There’s no good Mexican food around here… Well, maybe Chevy’s I guess…”
Um. Yeah. No.
Everyone is wrong. There are some fabulous places where one can get some authentic Mexican grub. A small trek to Casita Tejas in Homestead will have your taste buds thanking you for the culinary fiesta!
My friend Wendy and I arrived during lunch hour on Sunday and took a seat in this sunny, sunflower themed restaurant. The interior of Casita Tejas is small, but adequate.
We waited a few minutes and our server came with a basket of chips and a small bowl of salsa. The chips were fragrant and slightly warm. The salsa was chunky, fresh and had a small touch of sweetness to it.
Wendy and I placed our orders and decided to start with some Tamarind soda. We both had to get the Burrito Norteno because it just sounded soooo good on the menu and my God, it was. The burritos were jammed packed with flavor and the sides of rice and beans, a delight. Large portions and everything fresh and flavorful. All in all, my meal was exceptional. I don’t think there was a single molecule of food left on my plate. Although we had eaten everything on our plates, Casita Tejas proved to be a nice place to stay catch up on some much needed girl talk.
After requesting our bill, we continued to munch on the chips and enjoyed the buzz of the place. People were chatting away and you could hear the dulcet tones of a tiny AM radio being played in the kitchen. Our server returned with our bill and a nice surprise. The total for our fabulous eats was a mere $21.00!
As we left Casita Tejas, we were still talking about the burritos. They really were that good. along with the service and atmosphere.
I don’t think Chevy’s stands a prayer.
