Casa Alvarez has been family-run in Rowland Heights since 1991, serving traditional Mexican recipes from Colima Road.

Had the most amazing dinner at Casa Alvarez. Shrimp cocktail was perfectly seasoned with just a hint of horseradish, albondigas soup with seasoned meat balls to perfection, tostada salad with the juiciest of carne asada, and hubby enjoyed a delicious Chile verde wet burrito topped with eggs. Overall a great meal. Homemade salsas, margaritas, and flan pushed it over the top to fabulous. Highly recommend this place.

Casa Alvarez has some of the tastiest Mexican food around. The albondiga soup had 6 meatballs with lots of vegetables in a savory broth. The crunchy beef taco is really crunchy. The beef is perfectly seasoned and covered with lettuce and cheese. Yummy! The chicken flats are humongous, crispy, and delicious. The friendly service is an additional plus.

Really huge portions! O got the cheese enchiladas plate that comes with 3 enchiladas and there was no way I could finish it all. The enchilada sauce had a good rich flavor as did the beans and rice. I liked the dollop of sour cream on top along with the lettuce and tomatoes. The salsa was thick and chunky and the chips had just the right thickness and crunch. Service was very attentive and the dining room is nice and big with lots of soft padded booths. Highly recommend!

The food is delicious and service is decent but a bit slow. You will have to wave down a server to get extra chips, a drink refil, napkins etc.. I highly recommend the Chile Verde, Chile Colorado, and the crunchy tacos. They also have a fantastic spicy salsa that you can ask for called Diablo Sauce. We come here often for family dinners and they have plenty of space for large parties.

Love the food here, the Beef taco is abundant and the Chili Relleno was fluffy and delicious. The staff here is always friendly and the service excellent. I like the atmosphere here, very comfortable. It's always a nice place for us to end our week and have Sunday dinner with the Family.
