Whidbey Island: La Casita: New Mexican restaurant opens April 15

There was a bit of confusion about the opening of La Casita, a new restaurant located at Ken's Korner Shopping Plaza off Highway 525 in Clinton .

So I go to La Casita and I order fajitas. I order fajitas because fajitas don't have cheese and I can't eat cheese. So what do they do? They put cheese on the fajitas. Nobody puts cheese on fajitas. Anyway, I thought the food was in general mediocre. Edible, but nothing special.

Great salsa and an excellent mole!

Excellent food and the staff is friendly. Three of us ate there Saturday 5/16. All food was fresh and tasty, not the non-descript glop of chain restaurants or the one further north on the island. I just hope they get their liquor license soon so we can enjoy a Margeurita!

Take out got all screwed up. New worker didn't know shredded from string or ground meat. Ended up with a ground beef burrito and a pork chunk burrito.
The ground beef was not good and mis=marked, the pork chunks were okay but seemed to have been steamed. Not carnitas by a long shot.
Over all very very bland. Salsa was good, but chips a bit hard.
I really want this to be a good restaurant, but so far it is just mediocre.
I ended up driving back to La Casita to get the correct burrito and wasn't even comped free chips. Also the promised guacamole and sour cream weren't included in the bag.
I'll give them another chance, but I don't think they will improve much.
