Mi Casa Restaurant

When ever I travel I always try to find an authentic cultured local authentic restaurant. Today I found the place I will return to next time I am in Utica. I went in with zero expectations. Simple drink menus, I went with the sangria. OMG. The sangria! While I sipped and looked at the menu, ( all food I have never heard of) on the wood plank menu board. I went with a steak something. I said I will have the xxx. The polite waitress repeated it back correctly as I tried to say it 3 times and all 3 times she said it right and I butchered it. We both smiled and she walked away. When the food came, my eyes opening wide. The fragrance was amazing. Imagine the perfect stuffing without the breading, wrapped in a perfectly cooked steak. Smothered in a Marsala style sauce with extra garlic. When you drive down the street and you say to yourself “I would never go there” because of the location or how the paint on the building may not be the most fresh. Stop the car and go in. You will be overwhelmed by hospitality, fresh ingredients, fair prices and a full belly. @Mi Casa I will be back. Thank you for an amazing experience

Ho-LEE sheeeeeeet. This spot is the real deal. I guarantee you have driven by this place more than once but you never went it. Food is unbelievably authentic, flavorful, and original. Let me be clear, there are no chips and salsa.....this is not Mexican - it's Dominican. Everything was perfect.

I made a delivery for this meal...the food was very good ..but the delivery man had the audacity to just automatically think he can just take the money and not give the change back.... honestly in my head I thought "hey keep the change" but I changed my mind I guess your taking advantage of a vulnerable situation...lucky for me I had money left over...but still I would have liked my change back.... I was just like nevermind because I was too hungry to argue...

I'd go back just to order their juices made in house. I had the Mango juice, fried tilapia, plantains and house salad. Prices are good, portions are good, and my server was very friendly. Authentic Dominican style restaurant. The music and flavors made me feel like I was on vacation but in the comforts of home. Thank you Mi Casa!

For a restaurant labeled as Caribbean, they definitely had a decent array of flavors highlighting multiple countries in the Caribbean. The front of house, Luisa, She was very sweet and accommodating. It was our first time in any Caribbean restaurant, and she took her time to help us with selections, and gave us a little overview of what the food was like that they were serving, primarily Dominican, versus what it would be like if it were Puerto Rican varietals. Everything was wonderfully fresh and delicious, everything was served with care and love, you could tell the Chef puts a lot of love in the food! We were passing through, but we will be back because of this. Wonderful experience! I had the eggplant dish, mofongo, passion fruit juice, and shared a serving of the tres leches cake! My husband had fried plantains, a chicken dish stuffed with yuca, and soursop. While we were here, it was not very busy with people seated and being served, but lots of takeout. It's not usual that we would have had such an opportunity to and chat with the staff, we were very lucky in our timing! It's evident that this is a cornerstone restaurant for the community!
