Casa Durango

11:45 on a Friday — Closed. Unilocal said open, but it was closed. And has been closed for awhile.

My wife and I live in Normandy Park where this restaurant is located. We went to this restaurant for the first time last night .I will say we will NEVER go back!!! Although the food was ok, we had ordered a plate to share. We asked for a list of pricing for their drinks which we never received so ended up ordering glasses of wine. Got the bill, the wine was way over priced for what tasted like box wine then we were charged for a chef salad ($ 9.99), which we didn’t order. When we asked why we were charged for the salad, the waiter, (who also subs for a cook), he told us this during our dinner, said that the charge was because we ordered one plate to share and he had to bring us another plate to eat it. We weren’t being cheap, we can afford to order two plates, but we wasn’t that hungry and we were not sure of the quality of the food being our first time there. I can now see why this place was empty when we got there and empty when we left. I am sure they pull this on most all that come in this facility and has a reputation of being a rip off joint.

Food so bland. Sucked!!!’ Refused to pay for the dish I did not eat, one bite was enough! Had a terrible time with the owner because I did not want to pay for a dish that was tasteless. I was very upset, I need to stick with Chipotle or Las Margaritas Aways good

Yep. It’s that good. Allow me to qualify that.
Amazing large portions at a reasonable price. 2 item Combo for $ 10.99.
Biggest burrito I have ever seen.
Really good salsa and free chip refills.
Great service.
If you like rich, but not exactly «healthy» Mexican food, this place delivers.

Well the food is good here the salsa is pretty much amazing, but while i was eating, I found an ant crawling on my arm and looked down and seen another one. Eh ants are gross…
I also came here on another day to get to go food, but i sat in the restraunt for 10 mintues without seeing any employee as well as getting any service.

I LOVE this place. I love Mexican food in general so I have tried a lot of places but this is definitely one of the best. The man that works there is always friendly and even remembers that I am a vegetarian! I have tried the veggie burrito, chalupa, combo plates, you name it. It all tastes delicious, authentic, and fresh. The friends I have went with, who are not vegetarians, love their food just as much as me. I am also a hot sauce fanatic and this place has some good hot sauce! Definitely ask for some when you order. Overall, definitely a hidden gem in Burien. Again, I love this place.

This is really the best mexican food I’ve had in a long time!!! I recommend the enchiladas, they are my favorite and I’ve tried many different places looking for flavorful but not too spicy mexican. The waiter is always very polite and the food is always hot and fresh.

Good food. This is my second favorite Mexican restaurant, but due to my newly acquired severe peanut allergy I guess it’s my new favorite. (they don’t use peanut butter in their red sauce like my favorite location does). The staff are friendly and the prices a reasonable. Great seasoning on the carne asada. Great margaritas as well.

Delicious. Excellent service and when I asked for things without cheese/​sour cream they instantly understood I wanted no dairy and accommodated me easily. That alone is worth another trip when I’m in that area again.

There food is really good. I went for happy hour taco’s there website says $.99cents. Well 16 tacos cost me $ 30.00 with tax. Be warned!!!

The chicken chimichanga I had last night was life changing. Before last night I’ve never been a huge fan of Mexican food but my gf was craving it last night. I’ve grabbed a burrito from Casa Durango before and it was alright but nothing spectacular. Last night we got the steak and shrimp with beans, rice and tortillas and a chimichanga to go and shared them. Both were amazing, but as soon as I ate the chimichanga I wanted to order another one and I am still craving another one. I’m hoping I can hold out until Sunday before the craving gets the better of me.
The guy up front (owner?) was really friendly, too.

Tried this place on a whim during lunch. The service was quick and friendly. The food was okay. The salsa was spicy enough that I enjoyed it. I ordered four tacos. lengua, asada, pollo, and fish. They were okay but no wow factor. The lengua is my favorite kind of taco and made correctly is very beefy and tender with lots of flavor. I didn’t really get that here. It just seemed okay. Not bad but not enough to make me drive a distance just to come here.

We had dinner here on a Friday night and were seated promptly. The waitress with the «mousy» voice was our server for the night. She was nice but it was obvious that when more customers came in she was a little overwhelmed, but she did a good job overall.
We had beef fajitas and carne asada. The kids had a tasty quesadilla and a yummy burrito. The food was pretty good. It was fresh and tasty for the most part. Echoing some of the other reviews, the fajitas were a little on the bland side. The carne asada was very good and the chile relleno I ordered as part of the combo was perfect.
Refried beans and rice were very good.
This place is definitely worth coming back to.

This place is pretty good, fast service, good menu. Same prices about as Azteca but better food. They use more vegetables in there Quesadilla’s and other menu items, so it’s not always just meat and cheese.

Definetly a hidden gem in Burien. Food is amazing, the only thing I might not order is the fajitas again cause they were not very flavorful. But the enchiladas and the Durango Burrito are amazing!

Service was good, attentive, friendly server. Kids food came out very fast, our food followed close behind. Food was hot and fresh.

Awesome food, friendly server. :) Whenever we want Mexican food and spending a little more is just fine, this is the place to be.

This place has awesome reviews, that is what upsets me most. I hate to be negative, but the service put a damper on our evening.
I ordered Tacos Pastor and they were amazing authentic. Love!
My sister ordered an appetizer with shrimp, and she was surprised to see it wasn’t cooked. It looked great quality, she tried and just didn’t like it.
The waitress was not readily willing to exchange for another, and said she would have to ask the chef. my sister personally didn’t like what she ordered, (no offense to anyone), not their fault. We got a new meal, but then the waitress informed us the cook staff was making her feel bad because we sent back a dish.
I would have given a rave review, but all this was so unnecessary and as patrons, we shouldn’t be made to feel bad while eating dinner, that we are paying for.

I work near this place and stopped in for take away lunch. I was warmly greeted and even offered a table and water while I waited. I ordered the torta with carnitas.
The food took a long time to get to me (I sent others there on a later date and they complained about the wait for food). My torta was huge. It was a generous portion and very tasty. It was exactly what I wanted. It did come with poorly made fries. The fries were unnecessary because the sandwich was big enough and I don’t come to a Mexican place for French Fries.
The server was extremely nice and I look forward to more visits. If you go, prepare for a wait or order well ahead.

I cannot express with words how happy I am that we found this place! This is real Mexican food, served hot and fresh. I know some other recent reviewers complained about the service. The service we received from our waiter during the Sunday lunch hour was some of the best service I have ever received anywhere! He even brought our forgotten box to our car after we left the building. I had a dish with tiger prawns, mushrooms, and onions in a chipotle sauce. It was excellent! My wife had a chimichanga with chicken that was simple, yet flavorful. The salsa served with the chips was the best I’ve had thus far in the Seattle metro area. They have a great kids menu too.
Do not let the exterior fool you. Go in and enjoy some delicious Mexican food! Just a quick note to SoCal natives. This may not be exactly what you are used to, but we have found it to be the closest to our SoCal experience in this area.
