This week's choice for lunch is La Casa Country. A western themed restaurant located in the Golden Zone. We were here two years ago and had a good dining experience. Next season we hope to branch out and visit more different restaurants. But....we're happy we are actually getting out at all!!
Wednesday afternoon about 12:30 and we are waiting for the bus. La Casa Country here we come!
An antler chandelier! A very large restaurant known for it's beef and Tex Mex cuisine. Later in the day they have cowboy dancers or at least they used to. Not sure whether Covid has ended that for now.
That's Sue joking with the waiter. Very attentive staff here.
The waiter taking Marion's order. She and Fred will be heading home on Friday. Ruth up front deep in conversation.
All the ingredients are ready for the house made salsa.
The waiters hands are just flying as he prepares the salsa.
The food is starting to arrive and I see three very large salads.
Ruth and Diane are sharing the very tasty looking Mexican plate. An taco, chili relleno etc.
This is Sandi's shrimp salad and it is huge! I think salad was on her menu that night as well.
Marilyn had a chicken salad and it was huge as well.
This is Sue's small steak and it wasn't as good as it should have been. An odd shaped piece of meat and it was supposed to be rare. It was delivered on a piping hot cast iron grill plate so, it of course continued to cook. Not rare at all and a bit chewy. Beef is always a bit of a risky thing to order in Mexico but this restaurant prides itself on it's beef.
A blurry pictures of my steak fajitas. Tasty but again the beef was not as tender as it could have been. I did however eat most of it!
Another Mexican plate and I see cowboy beans, a taco, a piece of grilled chicken, chili relleno and fresh salsa.
So overall the lunch experience was good. Prices are higher than average which we knew, service and ambiance were excellent and most of the food was very good. Not a place you'd pop into for a quick bite but lovely for a nice dining experience. The last time we were here I had a very tender medium rare steak.
Next week Lucky B's in the Golden Zone. We\d hoped to go to Toto's cocina Italiana but it doesn't open until 1:30 and that's a bit late for lunch.
We have never eaten there so was glad to read your review. Years ago it was said to be expensive and we rarely ordered beef in Mexico. Beef is better in Mexico now but still a hit and miss. You ladies do have a great time together. Thank for sharing.
