"La Casita has a special place in my heart because I 've been going there since it first opened. Definitely sentimental and admit my bias from this fact. I know it 's far from great or very authentic Mexican food, but I still go at least once every time I come back home for the holidays. Love the hot salsa. Service is almost always great. It is quick (probably too quick . Ambience is fine, nothing special since it 's in a strip mall. Cost is pretty cheap. I think the special plate is a common favorite. The white queso smothered Sancho is a solid choice. All and all it 's average, at best, Mexican food. 1 star is too low unless you 're a big foodie and Mexican afficiando, and 5 stars is definitely too high so those are either really biased or just need to try more Mexican food in bigger cities. Having lived off SW Blvd in KC, I know good Mexican and La Casita is sadly subpar as much as it hurts to admit. It 's really 2 stars but gave it an additional star for good service and just for old times sake."
