La Casita

"Stopped in for an early dinner and glad we did. The past few Mexican food dining experiences in Showlow have been huge let-downs so tried La Casita. This place nailed it! Awesome staff, inviting atmosphere, and the food was on point! Can't wait to go back."

" A Hidden Gem with Heart, History, and fabulous food! If you're looking for authentic Mexican food served with soul, look no further than this small, history-rich local treasure. The place is old, but read that as classic, authentic, or vintage! You can feel the decades of continuous pride and tradition offered here. Every dish tastes like it was made in a home kitchen by someone who truly cares. From the tortillas to the slow-cooked meats, down to the beans and rice, all great choices! Their base salsa hot sauce is 2nd to none. All the food has that perfect balance of heat and flavor you can't fake. It's the kind of food that instantly transports you. The staff genuinely seem happy, and even thankful you stopped by. It's a rare find anymore. What makes this place special isn't just the incredible food and service--it's the feeling that you're supporting a piece of local history that has fed generations. You can taste the tradition in every bite. If you haven't been yet, go. And if you have been, you already know why this little restaurant is one of the best-kept secrets in town. My favorite: Chicken enchilada with flour tortilla and red sauce! Photo of Jen; birthday dinner place of choice!"

"First time trying this place today with a friend. Ordered the Chicken Taco salad (add scoop beans) & Machaca Chimichanga Combo plate. Friend said Machaca was a little over cooked but my taco salad was the BEST so far on the mountain! Service was friendly and fast. Clean restaurant."

"What to say about an amazing experience and fabulous service and outstanding food. Fast efficient and truly incredible Mexican food. If you've ever been to Ava's in Snowflake this might just be better. The fajitas were simply to die for and talk about plenty of shrimp."

"Been here many times. Out of all the Mexican restaurants in the area this one is the best. Food is really good comes fast and hot. Definitely one of the best places to eat in the Show Low area. We try to come here anytime we can when we are in the area. It can be a little hard to find the turn. It is right across from the hospital."

"Our first time to La Cassita but definitely not our last. Cheese Crisp was delicious! Taco Salad was amazing, and the Chicken Enchiladas were mouth watering! Every dish was so full of flavor and so shareable!! Here's a little secret... somebody forgot to tell them about inflation!! Wow!"

"Excellent authentic Sonoran Mexican food. Pick your seat and service is quick. Employees were in a zone and always hustling. Food was great. We stop here whenever we can."
