Casa Ramirez Mexican Food

"Great chicken nachos. Chips made onsite. Delicious salsa. Paige was an absolutely fantastic server. The only thing I didn’t like was that the happy hour $5 margaritas are premixed and very sweet. Owner is very attentive. Beautiful inside with available patio."

"This is an interesting restaurant with a Latino name, sort of European interior design, with Mexican & German food on the menu. It's owned and run by a U.S. Veteran who lived in Germany for 10 years. My daughter had a burrito and I had Jager Schnitzel with fries. We also had fantastic margaritas. We were both delighted with our food! We entered at 6pm, ordered at 6:15 and food was at our table at 6:42. I don't think that's a bad wait time for homemade Schnitzel! After reading reviews, I was very pleasantly surprised with both the food and the service. I will be returning. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!"

"My family and I celebrated my birthday here recently. We all loved our dishes, drinks and rum cake! Definitely going back to try more European pastries! Jose & waiter Paige were amazing!!"

"This review is a tough one to write because I want to be honest, respectful, and fair. New restaurants can be expected to go through some growing pains, usually for the first two or three months. After about 10 months Casa Ramirez is still struggling to find rhythm. This past Veteran’s Day weekend I came here for dinner with two local friends. Our overall experience, and first impression, was not all that good. First, here’s what went right. For being a Mexican restaurant we found it quite interesting that German schnitzel is on the menu. Two of us ordered it and we all agreed that it was some of the best schnitzel we’ve ever had. Really, that good. The chips were good. The drinks were good also. The salsa was very good. Beyond that, well… The third dish we ordered was a Mexican steak. It was dry, gristly, and tasteless. I had a hard time getting it down and was grateful that my friends shared their schnitzel. I don’t know why but the owners were using two hired hostesses as servers (there were no actual servers). One of them is 16 years old and this is her first job. Bless their hearts but they were getting no support from the kitchen or management, and despite their efforts they both struggled and took the brunt of vitriol from other customers, many of whom just got up and left. My table decided to stay and see how this played out. It took us a full hour before we got water and menus brought to the table. In an effort to speed things up, some customers went to the counter to retrieve their drinks and bring them to the table themselves. At some point thereafter the owners, who were very nice and apologetic, finally started to help out on the floor but it was too little, too late as many customers had already departed. All in all we were at Casa Ramirez for two hours and 40 minutes. My recommendation would be to come here earlier in the evening when it is not so busy or wait until the restaurant builds up steam and rhythm at some point in the future. I really do hope that they can pull through this because the potential for being a great and unique restaurant is most certainly there."

"We went for dinner on Cinco de Mayo, the restaurant was about 80% full to capacity, they have regular tables then some nice fancy tables. Overall I would round this place up to 5 stars based on our experience Staff: Friendly, attentive, very busy. The restaurant was very busy and service was a little slower, but I would expect that when a place is filled to almost its capacity. Chips and Salsa: They have two types of salsa: Mild and Spicy, the Mild salsa needed a little bit of salt, the spicy salsa tasted very good. Chips were crispy and not greasy. Combo #7 Rice and beans were mildly warm but had good taste, picadillo and the chile relleno was very good. We loved that the picadillo was not greasy, and the chile relleno had a thin egg crust and chile filled with cheese. you get two tortillas. Combo #8 Rice and beans were mildly warm but had good taste, the steak was cooked medium well and was well seasoned with some cooked vegetables and you get two tortillas. we loved the seasoned steak and vegetables as they had good taste. Overall, for 2 beers, Combo #7, and Combo #8 for less than $60 before tip is a good meal for two. Considering the competition in the area, we will definitely comeback and in our opinion the best tasting Mexican food in the Catalina area."
