CASITA TEJAS MEXICAN REST – Mexican
Family-run in historic downtown Homestead since 1987, across the street from the Seminole Theater and a short drive from the Everglades. Casita Tejas cooks Tex-Mex with the volume turned up: sizzling fajitas, a whole red snapper, super nachos loaded to the edge. Starters mean vaquero bean dip, queso fundido with chorizo, gorditas and the fiesta sampler. From there, tacos al pastor with pineapple, carnitas topped with pico de gallo, baja fish tacos in chipotle tartar, tamales under original red sauce, and enchiladas rojas, suizas, rancheras or mole. Weekday lunch specials, plated with rice and beans, run until half past two.
