Reviews of Casa Colima Mexican Restaurant & Cantina (Restaurant)

Veronica Santos-Rivas

Friendly staff and good drinks

Jeremy Hill

This place is the real deal. Good food, good drinks, and a good atmosphere. Five Words = The rice and beans doe! (Seriously do yourself a favor and make sure you get some on the side of whatever dish you order) The margaritas are pretty good as well, I would recommend ordering a "premium margarita" with Patron over their "house margarita" but try it for yourself. They also let you choose the flavor of the margarita which my girlfriend loves.

Nicole Stanford

I just found my new go-to for great Mexican food. It was delicious from start to finish. The chips, salsa, and bean dip to start are addicting. I had the chicken tamale and pork taco and I was so impressed. The pork was tender and the tamale was one of the best I've ever had. To top it off the service is quick and friendly. A wonderful overall experience and I highly recommend!

I recently moved to this neighborhood and couldn't be more happy to have an amazing place to go to for taco's, right around the corner! The chicken taco's are literally the best I've ever had and the happy hour (3pm-6pm) is great! The wait staff is ALWAYS very friendly and that is just as important to me as the food. I rarely write reviews, but after this being my 4th time coming here in a month, they super deserve it!!!!

Harry Thomas

Excellent food and outstanding service.

Chuck Gleason

Excellent menu, great service. Definitely among the best Mexican in the area.

Tracey Jones

The food was bland, but the hot sauce helped. Our dinner came out quick and hot. The server was short with all of his tables; it seemed like he was ready to turn our table, even though plenty were open. My wife's dessert came out several minutes before mine did. The one true bright spot was Giselle. She is a gem.

Deanna Hill

New location in Vancouver, Wa. The decor is beautiful and tasteful. We ordered lunch - carnitas de res and burrito with Chile Colorado. We had flan for dessert with a nice tableside presentation. All the food was excellent. The flan was the best I've ever had. The waitstaff is charming and funny. We took a peek at the dinner menu during lunch and have already made plans to return for ceviche.

Stephen Lester

TERRIFIC food, extensive menu, FANTASTIC cocktails, colorful decor, this place is wonderful in every way possible. And their special 40 ounce Margarita - Ai, Caramba!!

Natalie Ballard Strauhal

Friendly staff and great skinny margaritas!!

Erin McCarty Bloomquist

Worst food I have ever had. Low quality ingredients. Service matches the food. Terrible margaritas, kids macaroni is worse than Kraft, enchiladas were frozen spinach and flavorless. And, it’s really expensive.

Kristen Lee

My new favorite Mexican restaurant. Great prices and nice people.

D M

As close to Tex Mex as I can get this far from Texas. Delicious.

Ray Freeamam

You should stop by. The food is supper. Well worth a set down.

Morgan Thiers

Good food

sandra burton

To go order was ready on time.

Jessica Hernandez

Amazing everything! The food the customer service the music. Thank you Luis for the attention and the amazing service. Will definitely recommend to friends and family hope to be back soon(:

Dana Greenbaum

We used to go here all the time until the quality of the food went downhill. We decided to give them another try on Cinco de Mayo (after a 3 year hiatus) and it was actually pretty good. A fluke? I won't know until I try them again.

Yvette Guzman

This is literally the best Mexican food restaurant ever! I have been here several times and never been disappointed. I have never left a review but feel like this place definately deserves one! Chips are always freshly made and the beans and salsa are soo good!

Mary Stumper

Authentic food, awesome service!

Tonya Hopkins

First visit was great. Prob my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area so far, and we've been on the search since leaving Texas. Margaritas were huge, plenty of tequila & flavor. No sweet and sour, thank goodness. Large restaurant, so there was no wait. The salsa was chunky and had good flavor and spice. They also bring out a bean dip that has good flavor. We well return and try additional dishes.

Linda Hoskin

Good Tex mex

Bret Pinyerd

Happy Hour prices are too high for what you get.

Shelly Wellman

I'm so happy they have opened in Vancouver! I loved my blackberry margarita and delicious tamales!

Dan Logan

Mahamed Ali

Good food, clean restaurant, and very friendly staff..

David D'Angelo - D'Angelo Auto Sales

Fun place for an event. Rented the up stairs (with a dance floor), had a private bar tender and buffet style dinning for the entire group. Food was great, drinks were better and the memories will be forever. Definitely book this place for your next party.

Jen Dean

Roger Collier

Roman Pavlovich

Best Caso in town

Ashleigh Burgess

Not sure if it was an off day or what but the massive amounts of fruit flies on the wall made me worry about an infestation. Used to be one of my favorite Mexican joints in town.

Dahlia Ramos

This place is a perfect place to dance although is Mexican songs. They have karaoke

Kira Rowe

Great service and very colorful, detailed interior design which is fun. If you're expecting the food to be along the lines of Por Que No, it is not. The food is quite bland.

Willard Malaguti

Wonderful time and grat food and drinks

Jessi Paige

My boyfriend and I (both of us appear white, neither of us are 100%, I am actually Latin) were interested in trying a new Mexican place.I saw that this place had good ratings, and was open late- so I was looking forward to giving this place of shot. When we got to the door, we were carded & my boyfriend was frisked, and he was asked to put his baton that was in his pocket back in the car. Then my purse was searched; after that I was asked to put my water bottle back in the car. We were both checked before we even got inside- then we were asked to show ID again. I informed the host that we had already been carded. The scowling stares that the security guards gave us- did not waiver after I mentioned that we had already been carded. We had a nice seat in the dining room, since we expressed that we didn't want to drink booze, and we were only there for food. Apparently the menu gets paired down after 11 PM. There was nothing available for vegans. There were only meat and seafood options- then we decided to leave, because not only did we feel very unwelcome, and discriminated against but, we also couldn't even eat there. Maybe I will come back before 11 PM, but with these dirty looks given by the security guards for trying to eat dinner; that does not really make me want to come back.

jager bombs

Jennifer Dean

Amazing food, nice staff, video poker

Jason Krajewski

Great any night family Mexican. All the plates are filling and the staff is always friendly and helpful. A little inconsistent on their margaritas - sometimes a little lite on the tequila and heavy on the mix. If your looking for good family nite food at good prices in Hillsdale - this is your spot!

vance c

Love these guys here. Food is super good too.

Ken Murray

Good food and service!

Jennifer O

YES PLEASE!! Good food, great prices, fun vibe. Also how can you resist the south park reference? lol. Just a nice local place for a Thursday girls night with margaritas.

David Bensel

I love this place! We live in the neighborhood so come here often. The food is always delicious, the service is always amazing, and the drinks are always awesome! You won't regret coming here!

Brenna Switzer

Love this place. The tortilla soup is amazing.

Andrew Simmons

The food's good but when I came in with my work clothes on they thought I was homeless and made me sit outside and I spent $80 at night take out

Candyce Reynolds

Nice atmosphere and excellent salsa.

MAc Dennis

Little spendy, but big margaritas and big portions

Orey Sloan

Great food!! Pro friendly sevice

Britt D.K. Gratreak

Some of the best Mexican food in Portland. Just be careful if you have a food allergy and let them know-- never assume. Their chips are fried in a common fryer and their red sauce for enchiladas are not gluten free. (But those can change over time so always check) They used to be very friendly and as careful as I was about my food restrictions but now they don't seem to care. They will literally lie to you on the phone unless you tell them to go check the ingredients of their food.

Anita Shuler

We met friends here for an early dinner. The food was good. They have quite a varied menu with lots of authentic Mexican dishes. The service was attentive and friendly. I will be back.

Alixandria Barnum

I have been coming here for years, and every friend I've ever brought has put it into their repertoire. The staff got to know me when I lived a little closer and they are just always so sweet, so funny, and if you're comfortable with them they will tease you in that friendly way friends do. It's really one of my favorite places to go.

Leslie Miller

Excellent food and service

Nicole Haran

Fresh guacamole made right at the table! Fajita burrito was fantastic. Amazing flavors! Ask for the habanero salsa. It is a must!

Scott Eddy

Food isn't great, good margaritas.

Krystal Garza

Always excellent food and drinks!

Fabiola Zavala

We will definitely be coming back. This a great place for a date, family gathering or a girls night out! The food is great.

JJ Segundo

Great food and fun entertainment on the weekends

Ross Reddick

Love the Cadillac margaritas and the combo meals

Yvette Benavides

Only thing I like was the chips and salsa and the bean dip. I got the fish tacos and I didn't like them they were so bland. Also I didn't care for our server

Leo Burrell

Great service

Spring Power

This is not just a regular Mexican restaurant. It is a story, a different world. I wouldn't change a single bit. Amazing ambience, great fresh food with exceptional taste! Easy parking in front. Super friendly staff. Also bigger groups have enough space and the service is still fast and good.

Travis Martin

Great service and delicious food!

Roberto Schroeder

The burrito was good but not enough meat, I ordered carnitas it was mainly rice and beans, needs a little more meat!

Warren Caughy

My favorite Mexican restaurant in the SW area. Highly recommend their largest jalapeno Margaretta. Everyone will stare in envy as they bring it out, great for a date night. Colorful interior, friendly staff, lotto available, and full bar. Did I forget karaoke on Friday nights! Check it out!

Sam Lynch

Pretty standard American/Mexican place. A little inconstant but does the job. A good happy hour. Great staff and atmosphere. Convenient location.

Joseph Johnson

Amazing staff serving the vast authentic Mexican Cuisine!

Sean Carpenter

Reminds me of home. The food is great, the drinks are big (and so are the portions). It'll remind you of the small town Mexican restaurant you always ate at with your family.

Andrew Wildwood

classic fare served hot and fast with generous portions and friendly service!

Dom Monte

Delivery drivers rely on prompt preparation of food otherwise the time window for acceptable delivery is compromised. It is unacceptable that a driver has to wait 10 minutes after the latest possible pickup time for the order. You fail at this although I have no idea how good or bad your food is. Judging by the business is can’t be that bad.

ezar2xfizzler

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant we’ve been to. The food was perfect, the service was quick and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. The place is very spacious with plenty of seating. What really makes this place special is the way it looks inside. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth going to!

Leah Goeres

Consistently good Mexican food. It's a very big restaurant with lots of seating and a cantina area. They are packed on Cinco de Mayo but most other days it's easy to get a table. The inside and outside are very colorful with fun artwork.

Kimba Arivaderci

Great service but a little pricey

Heather Kragerud

Fast service, great food, and reasonable prices.

Jeff Howard

Food is great, and the service is actually good, but I had to pick Poor/Fair for a big reason. If you order drinks, be careful... The prices are all over the board, there is -zero- pricing listed, and asking about alcohol prices appears to be offending to the staff. The waiter was so weird about us asking about beer and margaritas prices, I went to the bar to ask. I was basically met with the same offended look. With prices ranging from $7-$20 bucks, I guess that just part of their business model.

ladd douglas

Nice atmosphere.

Alli Crouse

First visit-Service was amazing, food was beyond amazing, so much flavor and so delicious, I can't wait to come back for more! Best Mexican restaurant in town!! Second visit was just as amazing as the first!! Service was fantastic and the food was incredible! Can't wait to come back again!

Jeri Wolf

The food is really good. Menu though, is incredibly hard to see and read.

Erica Martin

Great service & food. High powered margaritas

BikerCowboy

Great food a little pricy . I would eat here again

Fortino T

Good food and customer service I recommend

Mr. T

Beware, they charge dinner prices after 3pm. They tried to rectify the confusion but sent me a gift card with no verifiable balance. Website is outdated. Food was decent but feel ripped off.

Kandy Scott

Quick service, good food, reasonable prices.

Ashley Reyes

Food was good!! Ordered from tualatin...risking I would get some nasty white washed food...kis I've had that happen a lot of times in tualatin...so this was great !! Very glad I decided to try it.

Dagoberto Herrera

Great place first time there it was fun

Carrie

Great food, great service! We will definitely be back.

E. K. Lewis

Lisa James

This is my favorite Mexican food place. Lovely staff and amazing margaritas.

hillary cruz carvajal

Marcos was are waiter and he was very attentive and always helpful with a smile on his face . No delays with our meals . I would highly recommend this restaurant and your dining experience will worth it !!

Eric Williams

The food was not bad, the service was beyond belief ridiculous. The food came out over the course of approximately 20 minutes and some were finished before others even got what they ordered. They apologize right away but then after ordering another drink, a half hour goes by and still no drink. More apologies then we waited for approximately 15 minutes to pay because they couldn't figure out how to run the cards apparently. I would highly recommend Raul's in Raleigh Hills by Fred Meyers.

Tamara Richardson

My children had a great time. Love come back when the bowling alley is done

Lola Aminova Ryan

Family run business. Always friendly staff. The food is delicious and one can bathe in their large margaritas.

Clark

When I start craving a famil style Mexican restaurant, this place is my go to. Free chips and salsa, bright colors, great, friendly service, and sort of low quality (but tasty) food and drinks. All while playing mariachi music over the stereo system. I love this place, and hope they never change a damn thing!

Lisa Berglund

Best margaritas! Good food, awesome ambiance and super friendly staff. Oh and prices are good too! Great for a party they have lots of room and good parking.

Charmell Camacho

I visited between my daughter's double header baseball games after being told they were great and inexpensive. The food was really bland and overpriced. The meal was served quickly and the place seemed clean.

aaron findley

Chili sampler is awesome, staff is really friendly. Great service.

Tony Hunt

Friendly, decent food, and just. Great neighborhood place to spend time.

lance brown

Great place to dance. Have not tried the food yet!

Malia P.

I've been here about 3 times to meet up with coworkers. They never disappoint! They give you sides of refried beans and salsa with your chips, which are delicious. Margaritas really are the best in town, servers are attentive, and we've tried maybe 1/3 of the menu -- everything's been amazing.

Hannah Heacock

Always fabulous, I'm not on that side of town, so when we are over there, we make it a point to stop and grab food. Delicious steak and chicken fajitas!!!

Love the service. Everyone is very nice and willing to help one another in taking care of customers. Love karaoke and Nelson is the best in making it fun for everyone and having a great time.

Edward Liljeholm

Very friendly Staff! They are helpful and welcoming. The food is good, and presented with pride. The biggest joy of the restaurant is the tables and chairs which are beautifully decorated with scenery of Mexico.

D. Scott Smith

Very enjoyable. I had the Chile Verde. Yum.

Rebecca McEntire

Food is good, not great, but they're open pretty late

carolyn noblet

This was my first visit. The service is attentive, the ordering system, sends orders directly to the kitchen. The turn around from placing our orders to receiving our food was less than 8-10 minutes. We were a table of 11. Our visit was on Sunday night. The restaurant was full with a waiting line. The meal and dining experience was worth it. I would have rated my experience a 5 had we received better follow up after receiving our meals.

joel hansen

Really good chips - also really good customer service

Denise Ackerman

Delish chips, beans, & salsa to start! Chicken burrito yum!!

My favorite is the Deluxe Burrito.

Good food and waiter

Michael Johanson

This place is underrated. The food is good and so is the price! They are good with kids and have great option for them. The margaritas are a bit on the sugary side but not bad.

Sandra Camacho

Friendly atmosphere, food goof, Margaritas Great!

Lillian Cholick

this place was disgusting. I had the fajitas and the chicken was microwaved. 0 stars if i could.
