Place is pretty good ... I drove past and was sad el gordo has been closed since 2020. I decided to give it a go. Got a steak burrito which had tons of seasoned steak .. only issue was I didn't get much onions / cilantro. But it reminded me of the old Gorlo ways. Waitress was friendly and attentive. The setup was basically the same as gordo. I def will return back here

A first class eating house. Go there today! From the football sized burritos to the seafood platters and including fabulous huevos divorciados, Las Casitas brings the hospitality big time. Noble heir to the El Gordo legacy. Very pleasant staff-good welcome. Big recommend!

I ordered via Uber Eats and they called to ask me what kind of enchiladas I wanted in my order, which I found to be very considerate and something I had completely overlooked when placing the order. Thank you!

I have ordered takeout from Las Casitas several times now. Their Al Pastor and Steak tacos are delicious and authentic. I would skip the chlorine tacos as they are not as flavorful. You can never go wrong with the loaded nachos!

Las Casitas is a tradition Mexican restaurant in the Belmont Craign neighborhood. The service is good and I really enjoyed the food I tried there so far. The restaurant is situated on Belmont Ave which is busy street but street or side street parking should be easy to find. Additionally if you go into the alley behind the restaurant there is a small gravel parking lot and a door where you can enter from the back so no need to walk around. Inside there's a bar and a number of tables, the place is colorful and has murals on the wall.They are BYOB which is really cool cause a Modello and a steak is a real great pairing. I really like the chips and salsas they serve you while you wait. The chips are generic but the salsas are real nice. There are three different ones, a spicy red salsa, a mild pico de gallo (fun fact a friend told me pico de gallo stands for beak of the rooster) , and a salsa verde. I'm personally a big fan of the spicy red salsa. So far I have tried only the Chilaquiles for breakfast and the Tampiquena for dinner. I highly recommend either of these dishes if you like steak. I was told they serve Chilaquiles all day so you can have it at at any time. The way the skirt steak is cooked is perfect with nice char marks, almost all fat cooked off and the flavor is juicy and colorful. As I'm writing this my mouth is watering just thinking about it and I want to go back. Maybe I will... The service has been great both times, very attentive and server was real nice and accommodating. They do have child seats so the place is child friendly. The first time we went there with a friend who has a very young child, they were very nice to bring things like rice for him to eat and he threw food everywhere but the server cleaned up and despite us being apologetic she's said none is necessary. Las Casitas has been good to me so far. I can't wait to go back and try different options off the menu and I'll make sure to take some pictures next time. Do
