Casita Tejas Mexican Restaurant in Homestead is a charming, family-friendly spot with a long history, having opened its doors in 1987. The ambiance is welcoming and cozy, making it a great choice for a casual dinner. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The food itself is tasty, with a flavorful salsa that stands out. However, the vegetarian options are somewhat limited, which may be a downside for those seeking more variety in plant-based dishes.

Everything about this place was amazing, from the food, to the customer service, to the cleanliness of the restaurant itself. We were told to sit anywhere we felt comfortable, and our waitress immediately gave us menus and drinks. Food came out in about 10 minutes and everything was delicious and fresh! Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were happy and satisfied with our meals. Definitely will be back soon, I can see myself making this a regular restaurant for my family and I to go to for authentic Mexican food! Run here, don’t walk!

My husband is a big fan of Mexican food, I personally haven’t found a place that conquers me but honestly this place got me for real. Let me start saying the customer service. They were excellent, all of them so so so kind. The food was awesome. Prices were great. I felt so good that I needed to share this with y’all. 100% recommended.

Here's a rewritten version: The Mexican food here is authentic and delicious. The restaurant itself is simple, clean, and welcoming. The staff provided good service and spoke English fluently. Entrees averaged around $15.00 each. While the dishes were fairly typical, they were well-prepared and satisfying. All in all, it was a pleasant dining experience.

My buddy took me here for dinner. We were told to sit anywhere. Our waiter immediately gave us menus and drinks. Food came out in about 10 minutes and everything was delicious and fresh! Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we were happy and satisfied with our meals. Definitely will be back soon.

Absolutely wonderful! We had our rehearsal dinner here & couldn’t believe our eyes when we came in to the beautifully decorated tables & signs welcoming us and our guests. The food was amazing as always, but the service & attention to detail blew us all away. It was an amazing start to our wedding weekend & we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect restaurant to host the dinner. Thank you to all the staff & especially Jenina for going above and beyond to make it so memorable. You all are the best!! We will be back for a delicious meal soon. This place is worth the 1.5 hour drive :)

We are from Italy and Scotland, and we were on vacation in the Everglades National Park. Luckily for us we found the best restaurant around. We went back all 3 nights of our trip. Go here, you won’t regret it. I wish we had this restaurant back home I miss it!! Gracias Casita Tejas. The best!
