| - My cousin from Ohio was in town and wanted Mexican food. I was a bit hesitant to take her to La Casa de Juana because I have had inconsistent service and food there. I think perhaps they change cooks often, maybe managers too. Well, last night was totally awesome. First of all, the music was horribly loud, but when we asked that it be turned down, they did that immediately, even asking if it was turned down low enough. Afterall, most folks go out to eat to also enjoy conversation. Our waiter was a young newbe, Jesus. He was fabulous. Very friendly and engaging--we had quite a nice long conversation with him since they weren't busy at all. It's sad that they weren't busy as I so much want the businesses in my neighborhood, the Fiesta District, to do well. We intentionally came early so we could take advantage of Happy Hour margarita prices. For $3 the margarita was huge and delicious. We enjoyed the chips and salsa which was yummy, different than salsa I've had at any other Mexican food restaurant. We both ordered the three item plate for dinner. I always want a fish taco, but most restaurants do not give the choice of a fish taco (only beef or chicken) on the specialty plates--guess fish is more costly--so I was really happy to see that. It was very reasonably priced, only $9.99. Everything was delicious! Oh, and the decor is so colorful and fun. I hope they stay consistently good--I'm ready to go again.
