La Casuelas - Manteca

I think I just visited for the last time. Employees were rude. Charged me for full nacho players when all I ordered was a side of chips and cheese not full nachos with meat and everything else.

I haven't been to Las Casuelas for a while. We stopped by for breakfast after a run. I have never come here for breakfast before. I asked if they had menudo. They said yes. We ordered and quickly had our meals. The servings were appealing and plentiful. I tried the menudo and it immediately reminded me of the menudo my father made. The chili in the broth was very tasty. My only ding is that there was not very much tripe in the serving. I have been to other places where the tripe is more plentiful. We ate our meals and I took the broth home to add more hominy. We both enjoyed our meals. The service was great and prices reasonable. Overall, good experience. More recently I stopped by for lunch. Again the service was good. However, lunch was not good at all. I ordered a tamale with rice and beans, with no cheese. The plate came back with cheese. They took my plate back, took a while, then brought my plate back with no cheese. Beans rice were good, but the tamale was as tough as leather. I struggled to cut it with a knife, when I should be able to slice it with a fork. It stuck to the plate. Apparently it was microwaved too long or too many times. The tamale didn't taste anything like homemade. Mostly dry masa, with very little meat. I won't ever order that again. Hope my next experience is good again.

Waiter/waitress never made it to our table. Menus down and watched the help playing right next to us. One of those get up and leave situations. Manteca for you.

1st time here, the food portion was on point and the flavor was pretty good. Definitely will be coming back.

Excellent service ...excellent food... Can't to go back!!!
