The Scene: – Founded in 1947, this Sonoran eatery has proven itself one of the city's real veterans. Just look for the big black bull and matador statue marking the entrance to the restaurant's three dining rooms and popular outdoor patio. The Virgin of Guadalupe watches over diners served by traditionally dressed staff under the saguaro rib roof. – – The Food – The chimichangas are a bit skinny, but everything else is amply proportioned. Start with a pan of cheese crisps, crunchy, fried tortillas smothered in cheddar and topped with green chiles. Meat…

Well I Love Casa Molina !

by ladyvelo at Citysearch

The atmosphere is second to none at Casa Molina. I absolutely drink in the sights and sounds of this happy place. The food is excellent and we do request the hot salsa. The servings are so generous and the staff seems very quick on their feet. I enjoy every moment!

  • Pros: Decor, Fast Service, Generous Portions

Very disappointing

by drakula at Citysearch

Service wasn't good. Party of 9 and we had to seat ourselves. No waiter/hostess to be found. There were only 2 other tables in the house -- where were they? We had to get our own menus too. Horrible.

Food wasn't good. Salsa tasted like watered down ketchup. Maybe since we are white they figured we can't have hot stuff?

My tamale was still frozen inside. Now that's fresh....

I would not go back to dine in. But oddly, their catering service is really good. Go figure.

Since 1947

Nothing beats a mansoon on the patio at Casa Molina. Margaritas and a carne seca Loca. Those who know, go. And the original on the east side rules the planet. Hail chicken mole!
