This was one of the few places open for dinner on a Sunday around Truth or Consequences... and this one closes at 6 pm, even though there was a half-hour wait at 4:30 pm! There were only a few tables full in the very basic dining room; a lot of the orders were take-out. I ordered the pork adovada burrito. It came with a little cup of whole beans and a little cup of red chile rice. The pinto beans were perfect. The burrito was a bit dry and didn't have a particularly rich flavor... I should have ordered it smothered in red chile sauce for $1.50 extra. Overall, though, it was a good early dinner.

Great place to eat!!!! We came to Truth or Consequences NM, on a hunting trip and our guide brought us here for lunch. You can’t go with the Brisket tacos, carne asada burrito, or jerk chicken tacos.

My husband & I were on a 45 day cross-country RV trip. This was my favorite meal of all the food we picked up. We ordered four different types of tacos, plus guacamole. Perhaps my favorite were the puffy tacos. Every aspect of the meal seemed as though care was taken to make it excellent, down to the chips!

My wife ate here yesterday and said her Tacos were very good, though I was in shock when she told me the prices: $16+ for a 3 chicken taco plate with beans, rice and chips/salsa. I have eaten here in the past and found the tacos to be just OK. The shocker is The prices are double of what is charged at Tony's and El Faro, in T or C for a REALLY good Taco plate served at your table on real dishes with an attentive wait staff. Why would anyone eat at Taco Casa? This kind of inflation only happens when You accept it.

I ordered a green chili cheese burger the meat was dry and tough. I am a Elephant Butte local and have eaten at Casa Taco since it opened. I have watched the quality of the food go down and the prices go up. It was doing pretty good until covid hit.

I don’t normally post bad reviews on restaurants, once a mistake is pointed out to the staff 9/10 it’s fixed automatically. But considering I drove to Casa Taco twice tonight and my order still wasn’t correct the second time, I imagine other would like to take it in to consideration next time they think of doing a take out order. I called in my order for Al carte chicken quesadilla and loaded nachos add brisket paid $26 to get all the way home to discover no brisket, no lettuce, no sour cream, and no guacamole. Called went back and the nachos now lack ground beef and guacamole.

We ordered the special chicken taco, which is a corn taco fried. I realize that fried includes greese, but this is a bit much. The chicken in the taco was good. I am not a fan of tacos the American way with cheese, it would have been nice to have the option of just onion and cilantro. Also they were out of guacamole and they opted to have me test the salsa first before I ordered salsa and chips as I was told it is never the same way twice sometimes hot sometimes mild, which is an odd answer. This was too spicy. I was given the salsa in a small covered container and not something to taste it with, so I dipped my finger in it to test, when I said it was too spicy the girl was going to put it back with the others for sale, so I grabbed it and said we would take . I think the outdoor garage atmosphere is well done, though lots of flies.

Pros: plenty of parking; friendly service Cons: tacos were cold and broke apart due to the grease; the chips were cold and the salsa had too much cilantro. Spent $53.00 for 2 orders of tacos, chips & salsa, and 2 drinks. Very disappointing.

I've been to this restaurant a few times now. One of the times they didn't get my order right. I should have checked before I left, oh well. The food is decent, but its the same stuff you can get at any New Mexican restaurant in the state. Its a bit expensive for what you get and usually takes a little longer than I think it should to put a few tacos and a burrito together. I've never had anything bad from this place, so its a safe bet that anything you get from the menu won't be a disappointment. I'd also say that nothing I've had there impressed me very much. I may have had too high expectations visiting since all the locals talked so highly of the joint. If you don't feel like going into T or C to one of the Mexican restaurants there this is pretty much your only choice in Elephant Butte.

Something special for the area, unique taco's that you will enjoy if you are into something new for a change. They have some very good beers (micro-brews) to quench your thirst too. A little bit out of the way but worth the extra drive!!!

They treat thier employees horrible. The manager never takes accountability for her actions. Her employees are always wrong and she's always right. Horrible place to work. And the food isn't even that good for how expensive it is.

Great tacos! They are packed with tons of filling. Boyfriend and I both got 2 taco plates and couldn't finish our meals. We were stuffed! Great flavor in the beans and rice. Tasty guac and a generous portion in each taco. You won't leave hungry

Our first time here and looks like most people take it to go. We sat in the other room with tables and no one else was there. It is January and the room was so cold and uncomfortable to eat. Taco Bell had a better Taco Salad. I wanted just wanted water and the machine was broke. I would never come here again and the prices are too high.
