“ Ok, let's be honest. This is no cantina and it pales in comparison to Taco Bell. This is the Midwest taco joint! Hot isn't very hot, let's get that out of the way sissy's! Order a wet plate! Food is hot, food is cravable, food is fastish, food is cheap! If you are looking for some fancy taco place and service with a smile, this ain't it. Bring cash, order a little more than you think you'll eat, because for some reason, 12 tacos go down pretty easy. If you want to call and complain to the health dept about the cleanliness of this place, don't. You'll automatically go on the local hitlist, your trees will be TPd and the local HD doesn't give a rats taco. This place is a staple! Thank me later, share your pics, if you don't like it, go to Taco Bell. ”
“ This is the best Mexican food north of the Rio Grande. King Wet Sancho,wet plate,and combination dinner. ”
“ Taco Casita is the ultimate. Try it out and you won't be disappointed. Most of my reviews are lengthy. I just have no words to describe the overall experience of the efficiency of the service and calm of the patrons indulging in the tasty food. ”
“ A Terre Haute landmark for generations...this divey little taco place is different from anywhere you have ever been. It has a jukebox, tons of plants, and always has lines. The food here is so reasonable and at times can be a lengthy wait. Due to living in Indianapolis we have to make a road trip to visit! Pros of this place is a one of a kind taco, crispy as can be shells that are light and fluffy and the meat I can never put my finger on---but it is amazing! Cons---at times there can be a long line, and it is a less than desirable exterior. I must add that if you haven't tried a Taco Casita taco yet; make that long deserved road trip! I'm not sure how long this hidden gem will be around!!!! ”
“ Don't be turned off by the appearance! It's an older, un-updated building, but the food is very good!! It's hot, fast, and cheap! ”
“ I have been eating here since I was a young kid. This place has a cult like following, you either love it or hate it. We LOVE it!!! You MUST try it at least once, it'll probably be your next go to, crave place. ”
“ I don't care about the atmosphere here, I just love this place. It's one of those things you just crave. Both Castia locations are sketchy but lovable. The feast I am posting was $20 and that's just crazy. So much delicious food. I describe it as a high school lunch, but who cares? Good it's good. We got an enchilada deluxe combo- two beef enchiladas, taco, beans and chips with cheese, four tacos, fiesta nachos, large chips and cheese, large beans, 3 sour creams and a ranch- plus two 32 oz drinks....literally $20. Insane. This place is like a White Castle, you love it or you hate it. It's a college favorite of mine, so it's a must have when I go to Terre Haute. ”
