    My latest "CLEAN PLATE" award goes to Mi Casa. The food here is so good it almost makes me want to cry! There are good cooks, and some are even good artists and really excel at what they do. The food at Mi Casa Cafe surpasses that! You literally can feel the love in every meal. Those of you who know that experience. Will love Mi Casa! Sorry, I didn't take pictures this time. Give the Burrito Del Mar and the chicken tortilla soup a try. You'll be glad you did.

    Fantastic, authentic food! They DO charge for chips and salsa..$3.00.. Salsa definitely tastes homemade.. Reasonable prices considering the area ($$) 3 flat screen t.v.'s to watch football .. The restaurant has Xfinity internet and television, but no customer Wi-Fi!!. Would be SO easy to setup!
