Review: Mi Casa Seafood & Fine Mexican Cuisine (624 N Golden State Blvd Turlock, Ca)

This place looks small from the outside and the parking lot doesn't help argue that statement, but the moment you walk in the place is huge with plenty of room. There is plenty of seating available as well as a banquet room for private parties and even a bar if you prefer to have a couple of drinks with your meal.

I came here because my friend rants and raves about this place not only because he used to work here, but because this is the place he measures all mexican restaurants too. Trust me I' almost just a picky.

Your greeted once you walk in and we both went straight to the bar! I ordered a michelada with Modelo beer. It didn't come in anything extravagant like some other places, very simple. But the flavor of it was perfect, the beer and michelada mix were just the right amounts with neither over powering the other. (these come in double versions as well)

For a appetizer we had the mussels "estilo de ajo" (cooked with garlic cloves). I love garlic, but anyone that knows me knows I usually try to avoid it because I tend to be very sensitive so I don't have it too often. It had a amazing flavor and spicy as hell just like I like it. If your sensitive to spice I may try and avoid it otherwise go nuts as much as I did. (plus side the garlic didn't make me sick)

Now onto our entree, ,we both shared a "Molcajete" made with chicken, it came out sizzling with juices and lots of melted cheese and green onions in a pumice stone bowl. There are many places in the valley or California that make these, but till today none are as good as Mi Casa's version! Mouth watering strips of juicy chicken in their special sauce that I ate heaping portions of with my flour tortillas and housemade beans.

My experience was pretty amazing after a long morning of driving and the staff along with the great food made it a super experience. 

I know most of the reviews complain about wait time, I didn't wait long maybe because I was seated at the bar, but trust me the food is way worth the wait. So yes expect a decent amount of time for your food, you won't regret it.

When you come in don't forget to say "Hi" to Jenny or Henry, tell them Pedro from Visalia sent ya!
