The Al pastor tacos here are the best I’ve ever had. The flavor was amazing, the salsa verde was great, tortillas were perfection. I ate in complete silence because I was at a lost of words from how good they were. The jamaica was also wonderful and sweetened to perfection. Coming back to Tuscaloosa just for these tacos.

My new favorite place. Great selection of plates and salsas. This was my first time visiting this establishment and I will definitely be coming back. The environment, great tasting food and friendly staff made the experience 10/10.

I tried the al pastor and asada tacos. The al pastor were my definite favorite because they packed a bigger flavor punch. This is an authentic taqueria so expect to feel like you are walking into a taqueria in Mexico only with much better ac. There were many other things to try both on their menu as well as in their drink case and a dessert rack beside the check out. I don't think I would like menudo (never tried it) but I did notice it on the menu if you are looking for this favorite dish. I am looking forward to trying more menu items.

If you follow my other comments I've posted you'll see I've been all over the US and I made a few post from East Europe I love hole in the wall Mexican restaurants. They love cooking and wants you back over and over, I personally love their attitude service with a smile, but for me the food is above all the other restaurants I've been to in Tuscaloosa. You new folks have to try this place, dis TACO CASA and make this your new a place

We own a window tint shop a couple of doors up from this place and we absolutely LOVE it! We think their Mexican tacos are the best- they have many other things on the menu but the tacos are our favorite. We always get the same thing every time and they know us by now and I don't even have to repeat the order. It is a very clean restaurant with great service and we highly encourage you to try it! A word of warning however, unless you REALLY REALLY love hot food, steer clear of the red sauce lol- it will set you on fire. The green sauce has just the right amount of kick and great flavor.
