Casita Tejas Mexican Restaurant

"Here's another burrito you should eat with a fork and knife. Casita Tejas is a Tex-Mex restaurant in Homestead that has two excellent wet burritos to choose from. We like the Texas chipotle burrito. It normally comes with chicken, but order it with steak—it gets along better with the spicy red sauce, sweet onions, and Mexican rice inside. Then there’s the burrito norteño—practically the same thing as the chipotle burrito, but covered in a cheesy salsa suiza and melted monterey jack." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

"In Miami, it’s harder to find a wet burrito than it is to find a spot on the beach where you won’t be subjected to someone else's reggaeton playlist. But Casita Tejas is a Tex-Mex restaurant that has delicious wet burritos. We like the Texas chipotle burrito. It normally comes with chicken, but order it with steak—it gets along better with the spicy red sauce, sweet onions, and Mexican rice inside the burrito. Then there’s the burrito norteño—practically the same thing as the chipotle burrito, but covered in a cheesy salsa suiza and melted monterey jack cheese. This is a great place for large parties too. The tables are spaced out and the dining room fills with light that shines through the large windows. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

"It’s no secret that some of the best Mexican food in Miami can be found in Homestead. Worth the trek are the Super Nachos at family-owned Casita Tejas. This large plate comprises of tortilla chips topped with refried beans and ground beef, shredded beef or chicken, and melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno, and sour cream." - Amber Love Bond

"When in Homestead, one must always stop for Mexican food, and it’s a well-known fact that Miami’s best authentic Mexican food can be found in the deep south. The menu at Casita Tejas checks all the boxes when the #TacoTuesday feels appear. Can’t decide on just one thing? Go for one of the combination dishes like the Guadalajara Platter featuring a tamale, cheese chile relleno, beef taco, chicken quesadilla, and bean tostada. That should be plenty to settle the craving — and all for under $15." - Amber Love Bond
