Mi Casa Restaurant

The best burritos in the area! Excellent customer service and family owned. Generous and fresh portions! Dine in or take out. Delivery also. Made to order, so there is sometimes a wait. But they give you chips and salsa while you wait. The salsa is fantastic! :) It is one of my local staples and I highly recommend! Reasonably priced too.

Second time here, the food is great and authentic. Good value for your money, also great service.

Walked in and ordered at the counter. Ordered the huevos rancheros and a Mexican coke. While waiting for my food to come out, I was brought chips and salsa. The salsa was pretty darn good. I was happy with my meal and will definitely stop in the next time I’m around the area.

4 solid stars!
Horchata is a 5 star chata!!!
I ordered 2 al pastor tacos, a chilli rellano taco and a small Asada quesadilla.
Chips and salsa came out and it was gone in about a minute. It was soooo good! You could tell it was fresh, homemade salsa!
Al Pastor tacos were good, chili rellano was fresh out of the fryer and was a little too hot to handle. After my tastebuds cooled off I got into the Asada quesadilla and it was amazing!
Would love to come back and try it in a burrito.
Staff was very welcoming and made me feel right at home.
Can’t wait to come back!

Cute little restaurant. Very relaxed inside. I definitely want to go back and try more things… we only stopped in for a snack, so I can’t really attest to much of the menu items, but what we had was hot and fresh. The service was prompt.

This is a family owned business with a passion to make really good food at a very affordable price. Quality says it all. Portion sizes are great. Everyone is friendly. You may have to wait a little because each dish is made fresh to order. Come in, sit down, munch on the chips and fresh salsa. It’s worth it!

Delicious, simple Mexican food. Excellent sauces and salsa (Verde sauce is my favorite). Love their chicken and steak burritos. Great service and friendly, appreciative owners. Our favorite spot for Mexican in the area.

Not the worst place. I’m also puzzled at how high it was rated. Tacos were authentic (with cilantro and onion), doubled in size but a big O.K. Meat was not great. Rice and beans were good. Agua Horchata o.k. It all felt heavy. Chips were ok but table salsa was not good. It was bland but they probably cater to those that do not like or are used to spicy foods (NOT ME).
Bathroom is outside and in the back. Not good for those with small children though this is clearly run by a family. I’m lucky I was there with a friend.
In my early 20s after a drunken night this would have been a good spot. I hate to say it but I won’t be returning.

This place has good food. Nice to see ribeye steak offered on its burritos and tacos. What’s suspect is charging separately for cheese and lettuce on tacos, and not allowing for fountain soft drink refills. Requiring at least $ 10.00 to use your credit card can be burdensome. It would have been nice to be served the complimentary chips & salsa as soon as I sat down to wait for my order to come. From what I can tell, new or infrequent customers are not treated warmly. I want to like this place, but I think next time I’ll be restricted to small takeout orders; I just need to remember to have cash with me.

I am pretty happy they are here. Good food, not expensive. Nothing fancy, just a good restaurant.

Mi Casa is a small restaurant that is housed in a place that obviously use to be a Taco Bell and is now serving up more authentic Mexican food. It is good to see Wheaton have a place like this and not have given the building to a title loan store as so many former Taco bell structures have become. This structure hosts a family independent Mexican restaurant that is about as good as a place as you can find in Little Village in Chicago. The burrito was big and beefy not so smooched with lettuce as I requested. Great place in West burbs but the space is small and service a bit long.

Mi Casa has the best Mexican food in all of Wheaton, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights and Glen Ellyn.
The service is quick, friendly and attentive.
They even make their own tortilla chips, salsa and guacamole, all delicious.

You will not find fresher Verde (sauce) than at Mi Casa. The house salsa is a thick paste consistency, and muy bien as well. Their Steak is surprisingly tasty, with the perfect ratio of lean, grease, and fat. I have never seen a restaurant with NO public bathroom get as good of reviews as Mi Casa. Es Casa Pequeña

Came here with a few friends one night to get out of the cold. The tacos were great – tasted fresh without the greasiness of other similar joints. I wish more chips came before the meal, but the salsa was really a kicker.
Hopefully next time I’ll get to try the horchata

The first thing that pops in your head when you think of tacos in Wheaton is probably not good and possibly awful. This place is between good and great. The service was quick and friendly and love the fact that its family owned and family run. Dad on grill Mom on side and Daughter up front taking care of customers. Place was really clean and thats a big plus. My food was fresh and hot and seasoned just right. The chips and salsa were above average thanks for not piling on a huge amount that would go to waste. Prices were in line with places similar so no big surprise good or bad. I will be back again when Im out this way. Thanks for the great surprise.

This place is like the American dream. A family opens a restaurant in what used to be a Taco Bell. Walk in any given evening and their high school kids are alternating between homework and helping customers.
The food is AMAZING. Real Mexican food, not the tourist crap. The salsa is to die for. And the service is amazing.
Go check this place out and support local small business!

We still like the place, we’ve been there 14 or 15 times. The owners are terrific, friendly and helpful. Good prices.
But the taco’s aren’t as flavorful as they should be. The steak lacks char and my wife and I have both been having a hard time distinguishing between the Carnitas and the Chicken.
FYI: The unisex bathroom is is around back, (Door is outside)

The food is outstanding here. Authentic Mexican with fresh ingredients and a great family friendly staff. The food is very well priced for the quality. You may wait a little while for your food. This is not a quick take out place!!! But it is worth the wait! Mi casa is busy during the eating times so plan accordingly. They take phone orders as well.
I waited a long time for a burrito dinner for take out during the dinner hour and so were 10 other people! They noticed the long wait and gave everyone complimentary chips and salsa. So kind!

Little hidden gem next the Wheaton Fire Station on Main Street. I have been here twice and it’s not a fluke… amazing tacos!
Ordered a cheese quesadilla… yes a quesadilla, don’t mock as it was crazy good. The cheese had a bit of a sour/​salty bite. It was served with a dollop of sour cream and some lettuce n tomato chunks.
Next were the tacos. The steak taco had a ton of flavor and piled in the taco with fresh cilantro and chopped onion. Then came the pork and chicken tacos. The taste of these were also just as fabulous.
They are served simple in a basket. The fillings are piled on two small corn tortillas.
The restaurant is very small and family run with a handful of tables. Be aware that this is not fast food service and could almost seem like a longer wait… but good things come to those who wait!

My BFF recommended we meet here for dinner one evening last week, and if I trust anyone’s opinion on Mexican food, it’s def my BFF. She and I have been to more Mexican restaurants together than anyone else I know, and she’s never led me astray. So as I drove up to an old Taco Bell building that had been re-​painted and re-​branded as Mi Casa, I was confused. Could Lauren have really missed a beat here? Was her streak of fantastic Mexican recommendations coming to an end?
As we walked inside and I looked around, I grew more suspicious. The menu is scrawled on whiteboard posters above the counter. The tables and chairs are undoubtedly from the Taco Bell they purchased. A tween girl stood at the counter waiting to take our order. I was pensive, to say the least.
I perused the menu and found all of the standard delicious sounding items. I hadn’t eaten yet that day and being that it was dinner, I was eager to sample a myriad of items from the menu to test this place out. I got the queso fundido, a chile relleno taco, and the enchiladas dinner (don’t do this. It was way too much food and I nearly slipped into a food coma and moved into the restaurant permanently, living amongst retro plastic tables and chairs). My friend ordered her selections, and we chose a table.
The aforementioned tween (who was doing schoolwork between orders and made me feel really guilty about being there to eat) brought us water and chips and salsa while we waited for our food. Chips were bland, salsa was decent. Then my queso fundido arrived and my homegirl’s guacamole and chips did, too. The fundido was deeeeeeelightful but honestly melting chihuahua cheese and serving it to a fat chick is not exactly brain surgery. I was still holding out to see how the rest of the menu stacked up.
I did not have to wait long. My chile relleno taco arrived and looked/​smelled heavenly. The taco holds an ENTIRE chile relleno — a poblano peppers stuffed with enticing melty cheese and dipped in a breading, then subsequently deep fried. This chile relleno would have been amazing all alone, but topped with onion and and cilantro and wrapped into a steamy delicious corn tortilla?! Holy crap. HEAVEN. I’m craving that damn taco again just writing about it. I shoulda ordered 3 of these and called it a day. The enchilada dinner was equally delicious — I got mine with green sauce (I can’t do spice, I’m weak), and tried each filling, all distinctive and tasty. I would happily enjoy a plate of these again except that I don’t want to eat anything but chile relleno tacos for the rest of my life. OH and the prices are insanely affordable. Heaventacos, on the cheap?! Is this freakin paradise?!
So once again, my BFF didn’t steer me wrong when it came to Mexican food. Seriously, look past the exterior of this place, the furnishings, etc. Look straight at that chile relleno taco. Gaze at it. Devour it. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
