Casa Blanca Mexican Restaurant

Queso dip is delicious! As a vegetarian, I enjoyed the many options available. I had the spinach enchiladas which were good — wish there was a little more to them and they were served with Mexican rice instead of white, though. The margaritas were another highlight, as well as the prompt, friendly service. Will definitely be back!

My wife and I love the food at Casa Blanca’s. Service is good and the food is delicious. Highly recommend Casa Blanca in North Andover

I’ve have come here a few years as it is the only Mexican Restaurant in the area, and as I’ve seen the prices go up, unfortunately the food is still not up to par. It gives the illusion that everything is authentic, but everything is unseasoned. I don’t think they use any seasoning in any of their dishes. I’ve tried the burritos, pollo yucatan, fajias, carne asada, and some of their tacos and I have always left full, but never satisfied.
Last night I came in with hopes of making my dish flavorful by asking for the Chimichurri sauce, which sadly wasn’t anywhere to close what real chimichurri sauce should be. Just lime and no garlic.
On the positive side, they have a very friendly wait staff and their newer salsa and habanero salsa are good.
I hope management can perhaps listen to the numerous reviews who have echoed these sentiments and turn this place around.

I really want to like this place. It has the potential. The downfall however is that everything is always bland or dry and meat portions have been dwindling. Especially with the price hikes over the years, I can find better fajitas pretty much anywhere at half the price. I used to be a long time customer because my family would force me to go. Now, I outright refuse. I have also tried the Andover and Chelmsford locations.
All in all, put some spice in your food, and don’t continually reduce your protein portions. This place has the potential.

My brother and I got take-​out tonight and it was truly phenomenal.
Everything is fresh and the portions are huge.
I ate a wee bit too much.
It really is that good.
The con queso sauce is otherworldly.

Mediocre, just mediocre. Still looking for a great Mexican restaurant in the area. This isn’t it. Not bad, but nothing good enough for a second visit.

This place was mediocre, I have had more fun and better food at Margaritas and Border Café. The food was very bland and over priced.

Place is excellent compared to most Mexican restaurants… food is fresh and authentic.

Usually go the Andover location but went to North Andover
Food was good, everything we had was fresh and served hot and yummy.
The waiter service was a very big turn off. I watched as he went to three other tables besides ours to check on things, but could not come to our table. i finally went to the bar to ask for a soda refill which I was told they cannot fill soda from that bar. Waiter finally brought the soda re-​fill, which then my daughter needed a soda refill also.
I think the biggest dis came at the end of the night. The waiter had run my credit card for the bill and I was sitting there, waiting for my daughter who had gone to the ladies room. Still dirty items on the table, which he had not cleared, but reached over me and said excuse me to pick up the check. In all my years of dining, I have NEVER EVER SEEN or experienced this. Normally the etiquette is to leave on the table and retrieve when the guests have left. It is not like there were people waiting for a table, or they were closing.
On the way out I flagged the manager who, or I think who was the manager who I told him what happened. Not sure if he understood anything I said to him, but did not say a word or sorry. Will not be going back.

The gluten free options are extremely limited which is strange since most Mexican food is naturally gluten free. I got a dish that had frozen rubbery shrimp and what tasted like stale rice. Will not be coming back.

The food was really good.
The drinks were fantastic.
Out waiter. maybe 8 was too much to handle for him, but then again maybe the 8 of US were too much.
The guy at the door, I think the manager, was very attentive!
I truly enjoyed my experience!
And would absolutely come here again!!!

Let me start by saying I’m a big fan of this chain. The Beverly and Amesbury stores primarily and the Rowley store too. The names of the restaurants may vary but they all have the same menu.
However, I found myself at the North Andover store, Casa Blanca, on a recent evening and was let down significantly. The food was OK … it was a weeknight and the place was very slow so when dishes came out missing things like guac and such, I wasn’t too surprised. Our server, the bartender (proprietor/​owner?) didn’t seem to want to be there but the service was, again, OK.
Now if you have ever tried the house margarita’s here, you will know they are some of the best. Whether it’s straight out of the gun or the giant silver cooler, the house margarita here is really good. AND … it’s only $ 7. So at the end of the meal I decided that a margarita would be a nice way to finish. I watched as they were made and I saw a very heavy pour on the triple sec and a short pour on the premixed margy. Took a sip and yes indeed it was sicky sweet. Then I looked at the bill. We had been charged for a Casa Blanca margarita at $ 9. Never saw a Grand Marnier floater either which is good, because I can’t stand that stuff.
So I bring it to the bartenders attention and HE tells me that the Casa Blanca is the house margarita. «That’s what Casa means,» he says. I explain that «I know, Casa Blanca means white house» and he turns and just walks away. If you’re going to call the Casa Blanca the «house» margarita, don’t also have a margarita called the «House» on the menu. I mean … pee on my head but don’t tell me it’s raining.
Now typically, I tip very generously (25−30% in most cases) because I know many folks in the industry. So we left him a 15% tip which we regretted by the time we got to the car. We will not be back.

Best Mexican and Margaritas in the Merrimack Valley hands down. All of the food is good and recommended. You need to try the Casa Wings if you like buffalo style wings. Give it a shot.

I was thinking to myself that I needed to leave a review and I realized that I did, so long ago!
I am still a regular guest here and I cannot say enough about this place. Roberto is the man. Period.
The food is delicious. I have my «go to’s» but I also try to order different things every once in a while. Either way, it’s great and consistent with perfect presentation. Margaritas are strong and the perfect blend of citrus and sweet, no crappy house tequila here.
I’m confused by the mediocre reviews, as it’s obvious that this place takes enormous pride in their work. The food is wonderful, the drinks hit the spot. The dishes are always presented beautifully and the place is spotless.
In closing, the roasted tomato salsa: try it. You’ll love it :)

Skinny margarita is now on the menu. However margarita pitchers still off menu
Also they will do a half order of guacamole if you ask. The full order is a lot for two people.

Went here last night for an early dinner with Hubbie and my son. This was the first time I’d ever been here and I have to say I was not overly impressed. Mixed reviews on just about everything.
To start, our server was slightly below mediocre. I would have said mediocre, but he never offered us drink refills and in fact we didn’t see him again after that «first bite check» until it was past time to clear the plates.
Hubbie had a chicken fajita salad. There was plenty of chicken… but hardly any peppers or tomatoes. and barely noticeable helping of cheese. My son had the pork tacos and they looked filling and he really enjoyed them.
I got the Casa Blanca trio because I wanted to try a variety of things. I had it with a beef taco, a chicken enchilada and a chicken chimuchanga. I tried some of all three and they were very tasty. The refried beans were okay but the rice was pretty sticky and not that good.
When our server came to clear the plates, he was all set to just toss the remainder of my meal and my husband had to stop him to say that we wanted to take the leftovers home (I had only eaten about half of the very generous portion).
When the waiter returned with my leftovers he said «dessert?» Which, having enough, we declined.
I may or may not return here. There are enough Mexican restaurants in this area that excel in food and service that I don’t feel the need to return to Casa Blanca anytime soon.

We came here tonight, after already eating dinner, for margaritas
and man are they good. But you have to order the ultimate margarita. Everything else is just ok. The chips and salsa are out of this world. As soon as we sat down at the bar a big basket of hot chips was placed in front of us and devoured. They were great. The staff is also extremely friendly and also atentative. As soon as we were in the last sip of our drink they were making us a new one, with our permission of course. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. The atmosphere is great and so is the staff and food. Defiantly worth a visit.

Went in for a quick bite with a buddy.
The burritos are huge, tasty are reasonably priced from $ 12.00. The Habanero Salsa; OOLALA, It was hot but freakin’ good! It’s nice to see a Mexican place that’s not afraid of the hot stuff (they have the mild stuff too).
The waiter was a character with a good attitude. I asked for a special accommodation and he handled it like a rock star. Good job!
I eat a lot of Mexican and this place seems to «get it» with good tasty food and decent service.
Parking can be a challenge; otherwise it’s a decent experience.

It is pricey for Mexican food and I have had the occasional blah meal here I will admit. But… they have probably the best chips and salsa of any Mexican restaurant I have been to in New England. They used to serve an amazing green sauce with the chips which I think is still available if you ask for it.
My favorite meals here are the enchiladas suizas and tacos al pastor. I love their rice and beans – I think it is probably my favorite in the area as well because it is very simple tasting and you can always kick it up with some salsa if you want. This place is probably pretty Tex-​Mexy but I love Tex-​Mex is the food of my homeland so I don’t mind. At the very least, go for the chips and salsa and their potent margaritas.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant and one of the only things I miss about living in MA.
I had the pleasure of eating here several times and I was usually happy w/​the food. I LOVE their brochetas and pollo pepe although the brochetas were sometimes overly oily. I’ve had better salsa at other restaurants– they are kinda lacking in flavor.
The service was usually good and they were always good at refilling the chips & salsa which kept my boyfriend happy.
The prices are good and you get a lot of food.
The décor at the North Andover location isn’t as nice as North Billerica’s but I preferred the food in North Andover.
The parking lot can be a pain but once your tummy tastes the deliciousness that awaits, you’ll forget about the hassle.
