Best authentic Mexican food I've ever eaten in my life lovely place great atmosphere, friendly team. You would be missing out if you didn't book this place, it has become our go to night out. Feedback we were waiting 40 minutes for our pudding and we got given the wrong ones, we ate it as it looked delicious, honestly you get very busy on a weekend, employe weekend staff to help! with more hands it will really help push customers in and out faster and help the waiters to give the best service possible for your restaurant. You can tell none of them stop to take a minute they work so hard.

The food was good, the service was a little disappointing. I went with 5 of my friends, and we had to reorder twice because they were out of certain dishes. First I tried to order Arroz con pollo, and was told a couple minutes later that they didn't have it. Then I went to order the special, and again they came back a couple minutes later. I finally ordered the carnitas, which were delicious.
However, we were still charged an extra 10% gratuity, which I thought was inappropriate, considering how they didn't have the food on hand, twice.

As a transplanted New Mexican, I was excited to try a restaurant that was a bit of home. Unfortunately, the food was only a distant approximation of Mexican cooking. Mexican cooking is regional so there is a wide variation in traditional dishes that are called 'Mexican.' There was nothing I ate at Casa Mexicana that was from any region anywhere in Mexico. It was a tomato-based meal that was bland with none of the spice and/or kick of Mexican food. The food is passable if you are not expecting to be served Mexican dishes. Even the guacamole was lacking which is quite a feat as it

This is a great independent Mexican restaurant, it's always heaving so they are obviously doing a good job.
I've been a few times and always had a good time and enjoyed the experience.
The decor is cool it has loads of cool artwork and ornamental pieces and the candlelit ambience makes it feel warm and cosy.
The food is good, the nachos extra are always tasty although I'm sure you could make the same at home, saying that they are great for sharing with a jug of Sangria between friends.
I had a lamb dish from the specials menu last visit, it was okay, the lamb was well cooked

This is my second Mexican/Tex-Mex review in as many weeks, which shows how much I love the cuisine.
25 of us went to Casa Mexicana on Saturday for a mates 30th. They set up 2 tables for us in the back room which was great as we had out own little area. That didn't stop us getting a few complaints though. We were a loud table from the minute we got there and unfortunately the tables close to us asked to move. A little embarrassing but it was a family with young kids - so understandable. The staff handled it perfectly though. They moved the other guests as requested and told us about it - but

Simply the best Mexican food in Bristol.
This independent restaurant has a great laid back atmosphere that's as suitable for a quick lunch as it is a celebratory birthday evening meal. It isn't the cheapest Mexican restaurant but is definitely worth the money.
I have been going for the last 10 years with friends and family and the food is always great. I can highly recommend the Nacho's Extra followed by the chimichanga, accompanied with a margarita or 2!
Really great service and the friendly staff can accommodate bigger groups.
Great restaurant.

Being from America and having eaten my fair share of Mexican food I was extremely skeptical when I was invited to dinner with friends at Casa Mexicana. I was pleasantly surprised by the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. I thought maybe it would be cheesy fake Mexican decorations and mariachi music but it was instead rather pleasant and relaxed. The sangria was strong and tasty, and the beef (might have been pork, it's hard to remember after all the sangria) was tender and well seasoned. The nachos were a bit disappointing but the main course made up for the average nachos. I left

I used this res. the week it opened all the years ago when the average Bristolian could,nt even spell Mexico or even know where it is.
This place is par excelence when it comes to authenticity its not for people who think Mexican food comes out of an El paso tin or packet, which I suspect most of the naff reviewers are.
The food here is second to none and its the only place I go in Bristol for Mexxy food.Just got back from Arizona and I can truthfully say spot the difference in taste sensations there is none.
You really need to try authentic Mexican food either in Mexico itself,Arizona of California

In a nutshell, it's a nice place to go for a meal with friends, but the food will not set your palette on fire!
The atmosphere at the venue is good and the decor is fine. The tables and chairs are a little on the small and rickety side, but I've sat on and at worse. The wine selection was good, maybe a little overpriced. The biggest disappointment was the food. For a Mexican, it was a little bland. Presentation could have been better.
To conclude, the venue is worth a visit with friends. The location and atmosphere is good. Just don't expect it to deliver the best Mexican dish

I like my food and i like lots of it. Casa Mexicana are pretty good at the latter however they fail in really doing the first justice.
It is hard to deny the slightly bland chain-esque atmosphere to the restaurant, which is aided by the pretty bland chain-esque food.
There is nothing wrong with Casa Mexicana, but there isn't anything especially right. I would love to rate it higher but i can't because it left my wallet felling pretty empty and my stomach full, but the food wasn't very good.

Casa Mexicana is one of those places everyone seems to have a good word for. Whether it's birthdays, romantic meals or family gatherings, the feedback is invariably glowing.
It's not hard to see why, either. The restaurant has a cosy feel with warm colours, exuberant aztec-inspired art and fairy lights draped everywhere.
The food selection, as is customary of most Mexican restaurants, is relatively limited. Not necessarily a bad thing as it removes the agony of indecision. We opted for the 'ultimate' fajita, which arrived speedily, steaming and sizzling. Tasty and generously

One of my favourite haunts in Bristol- Casa Mexicana is always I place I try to bring friends or family visiting from out of town. And my whole clan ate there the night before my wedding so it will always be close to my heart.
It has been rated one of the five best Mexicans in the Uk and I think it easily lives up to this.
The menu is authentic and varied so that it doesn't fall into the traps of cheaper Tex Mex eateries. Instead the decor and the flavour is less tacky and more Mexican than any other such place.
It can be hard to get a table here at the weekends so I would recommend booking

Having never tried proper Mexican food I was a bit wary when my partner dragged me along to try Casa Mexicana. I was pleasantly surprised that the food was neither too hot (so that I was able to enjoy it) and neither tasteless. Just perfect! Although I admit I was wary when I ordered, and my partner was not meaning his eyes were watering the entire meal!
The service was lovely and friendly, as is the entire interior. It's well designed but maybe a tad garish. I did feel that it was slightly overpriced, however portion sizes are more than adequate so you won't be left thinking you wasted

I'm actually quite surprised at the high rating this place has already. Maybe it is due to the fact that it has apparently been in Bristol since 1986 and is to its credit (or not as the case maybe) the first of its kind. And by that I mean chain Mexican theme restaurant.
In all reality however and by modern day standards it's a loud of rubbish and no better or worse than the McMexican style food they serve at Chiquitos. Quantity over quality seems to be the order of the day in Casa Mexicana, but if you're the sort of person who likes that sort of thing then I guess you'll

A lot more than just tacos and tex mex, Case Mexicana have a menu full of things I hadn't heard of. Good food brimming with flavour. Be warned, they're not scared of spices here and there's a couple of dishes that'll make your eyes water. As well as plenty of dishes that I hadn't heard of they've got things like fajitas and burritos. The beef burito's is filling and eating it is only a bit of a messy affair, recommended.
With lots of red paint and warm lighting they've managed to do fairly well at getting something of a Mexican feel to the place. I think

After around a quarter of a century of belly-bulging service to the community, Casa Mexicana has earned a fond spot in the hearts, not to mention the stomachs, of many, many Bristolians.
The interior is bright and immediately engaging, managing to be, somewhat paradoxically, both chilled and vibrant at the same time. The feat is achieved by the cunning layout which means that although they can easily seat well over 100 punters, the interior is split into several small caverns, giving a certain intimacy to proceedings.

I have to say, I wasn't that impressed by 'Casa Mexicana'.
The atmosphere and deco are okay, if a little tacky. The seating is small wooden chairs, which aren't great to be honest.
I was there with a large party so we had to pay a deposit. This was forgotten from our bill, so we had to remind them to deduct it.
As for the food, well, it was for me, pretty distinctly average. It might be that actually it was truly authentic Mexican food, and that places that taste nicer are using more English-favoured ingredients to make it tastier to our palettes, but losing authenticity

I really love mexican food and the food here was good. I loved the authentic Mexican feel of the place and they do a good Margarita. They serve a huge pile of nachos with all the works for starter and the fajitas come on a sizzling hot dish which is fun and a bit of a change!
Sadly I can't give it five stars as the service was quite slow. Even though it was a weeknight and not very busy when i visited the waitresses kept forgetting our orders, e.g. for more drinks. After a while of waiting we eventually gave up on the waitress remembering to bring us the desert menu which we had asked to

One of the UK's first Mexican restaurants, this is the original and best place to get your fill of fajitas in Bristol. The Mexican classics (fajitas, enchiladas etc) are top notch, but also try the more adventurous specials such as.
Lovely neighbourhood atmosphere complete with the smell and sound of sizzling plates arriving at tables makes this a great fun night out!

This restaurant has apparently been running since 1986.
On my first visit i was impressed by the cosy, colourful decor and enticing aromas. The staff are friendly and polite and their recommendations were good choices. the variety of tapas is good and their prices are not too bad.
My second trip to casa mexicana was a worse experience but i still had a good meal. Try the lamb shank, you wont be disappointed.
Overall a good restaurant situated conveniently for me. Perhaps quantity over quality for a few of the mains but overall pretty good.
Had a few problems with my big invitation club card
