    Booths high and romantic. Wait if time. Also bar seats by fireplace. Pepper tortilla chips & ask for habanero sauce to mix w/salsa to dip. Amazing flavors! Go-tos: sprouts, wings and spicy enchiladas

    Black bean queso is the best! All the happy hour food is very good! Goat cheese stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon and a strawberry salad are great choices.

    To me, a Mexican restaurant is only as good as its guacamole: this place only gets a 🥑🥑 out of 5 rating. But the Jalisco Mule was delicious enough to make me forget. Go here for happy hour & tacos.

    Bring a friend and enjoy some of the best sangrias, margaritas, and Happy Hour nachos in town. The nachos are extra grande but to die for. Ole!

    Absolutely amazing! Shrimp ceviche was fabulous and the special enchiladas al pastor was to die for!!! Get the red sangria or a tequila sampler!! You can't go wrong here!

    Don't be scared away by the "trying hard to be cool"/sometimes chain-like decor. The tequila list is impressive and the food is great.

    The pork flautas are where it's at, 100% delicious. The squash quesadilla is also excellent.

    Shrimp tacos and steak tacos were amazing, which I tried based on other comments. Also good were the tex-mex spring rolls and chorizo quesadillas. Didn't care too much for the garlic prawns, but will

    The nachos were phenomenal, and a total steal at $5 during happy hour (which runs both at normal times and after midnight — perfect late-night drunk food!). The margaritas were pretty gross, though.

    Fantastic Mexican food and service! Lots of seating. Just on the outskirts of "The Pearl" district.

    Bro-centric atmosphere. Americanized food. Good neighborhood spot for a Margarita.

    Have your margarita shaken and served up like a martini. Fabulous!

    La Casa is generally open until 1am! Great for some late night Happy Hour in Portland.

    Order the chipotle mushroom appetizers.....the best. Might as well order another Margaritas.. I suggest patron Cadillac margarita

    The Chips and salsa is excellent, and the seating outside is perfect for sunny days.

    Not that it's a surprise, but the calamari is a hard pass. Tough and tastes of nothing but vague fishiness. Get the Black Bean Queso or Street Tacos instead, both are delicious.

    Awesome happy hour food! No drinks on the happy hour menu but about 15 good food options under 5 bucks.

    Vegans - You request the Happy Hour nachos to be prepared vegan-style. They're still delicious.

    Service was slow and paid no attention. Rice had zero flavor. The carnitas were good as was the enchilada red sauce. This place has as much energy as the local library. Stay away - go elsewhere.

    Just heard some guy order a Jack on the rocks with a Coors Light back. Kids aren't allowed here. That order should't be either.
