Casa Mañana Mexican Restaurant

"Very spacious restaurant with tasty food. The tortilla soup served on the side is a must! The pollo platter with grilled chicken breast and shrimp, veggies on the side was amazing. We got an eggplant dish that didn't taste properly cooked unfortunately, with eggplant remaining hard. The enchiladas were also pretty good and you can customize for vegetarian options. Hard shelled taco that came with the enchilada was absolutely amazing. Service was great, our server gave great tips as she noted she has been here for 20 years! It is pretty cold inside, perhaps because there were many ceiling fans running - we turned the one closest to us off and felt warmer. Some of the plates were chipped, though server ensured we got proper replacements. Worth a visit for sure."

"Shrimp tacos are DELICIOUS! Grilled firecrackers are good too. Beef soft tacos were good too. Fast service. Shane the manager has been here since finishing at McNeese many moons ago!"

"Jolmary is and has been one of the best waitresses at Casa. She has always taken such good care of us and beyond attentive. After the storm, Casa as a whole has leveled up in their service and food! We LOVE it here!!"

"Wife and I finally got to check this place out, and let me tell ya, hands down the best Mexican restaurant we’ve been to. The food and service was top notch. We started with the Elcid’s Firecracker appetizer and it was so good. The margarita was fantastic, and the chips and salsa were really good too. The shrimp quesadillas were absolutely delicious. 10/10 we will definitely be coming back!"

"Our family tries to meet up and eat out once a week. Mexican food is undoubtedly one of our favorites. Lake Charles and the surrounding area has many Mexican restaurants to choose from. This week we chose Casa Manana Mexican Restaurant in Lake Charles. I normally write reviews for several corporate businesses when we travel but thought I would begin sharing our weekly dinner outings. To be completely honest I have not eaten at Casa in over 2 years. I happen to reach out to a friend and learned that she was no longer at Outback and was now in management at Casa. (Dominique) Knowing that 5 o’clock any day of the week could be busy. I reached out to Dominique to let her know that we would be coming. Our group of 7 were seated and our server was Isaiah. He was knowledgeable and happily gave stellar recommendations and ensured everything was perfect. Whether you’re craving tender tamales, marvelous margaritas, sizzling fajitas, quesadillas or a great kid’s menu, Casa offered an excellent menu option with a wide range of traditional dishes. Everyone ordered something different. Tamale Dinner Quesadillas (Shrimp, Beef, Firecracker) Taco Salad (Fijita Chicken) Kids (Cheese Quesadillas) The food was fresh and delicious. The portions were generous and packed with flavor. The Tamale Dinner was flawless. The Quesadillas were delicious and flavorful just lacked in presentation. The Fajita Chicken on the Taco Salad was dry and crunchy. I asked Isaiah to take it back and let the kitchen staff know, so they were aware). Management came out and discussed the issue (Jared). As a person who does reviews, I always try and let management know. Ranting about it afterwards does not give them the opportunity to address concerns with their kitchen staff. Casa Manana has a family-friendly ambiance and is perfect for date nights or if you’re celebrating a special occasion. Casa Manana deserves a spot on your list of must-try restaurants. I look forward to returning for lunch with my daughter. Thank you to Management (Shane, Jared, and Dominique), I appreciate the fact that management made rounds during the evening checking on all the tables."
