You know there's something wrong when the only Mexican restaurant in the Strip District is empty on a Friday. Especially when that Friday is Cinco de Mayo. Now as a precursor I will admit that this is the only time that I have dined at Casa Reyna, and typically I won't write a review until I have dined at least twice. However, most likely this will be my only experience dining here.
So why the extra star? The downstairs dining area is quite beautiful. Other than that it was an all around poor dining experience. Appetizer came out with our food, which we watched sit in the window for about 15 minutes. Naturally everything was cold. Our food was pretty bland and all overall unimpressive, and the appetizer was supposed to be a rendition of Mexican street corn as a dip, but tasted like they just took a half a jar of miracle whip and a can of sweet corn and threw some chips on the side, pretty gross. And to top it all off, the food is quite overpriced.
If you head 6 blocks North there is a little taco stand called Edgar's. Save yourself the disappointment of Reyna's and head there if you're craving Mexican.
