Mi Casita at 111 Clarissa Ave, Avalon, California.

Mi Casita is tucked away on Clarissa Ave about 200 feet from the beach. The front staff is not the most friendly, but the waitresses are alright. Pricing is moderate.. expect to spend about $15 or so per person excluding drinks beyond water. Speaking of which, water should not be $1.50 when it is routinely. 50¢ elsewhere on the island. So, the poor rating is for the food. The obligatory tortilla chips were clearly from a large bag...the salsa from a jar. Our order arrived rather quickly which points to pre prepared food. The meat in both the tacos and the Chile Colorado appeared less than fresh.. the taste came off as dry meat from sitting around too long. The sauce in the Chile Colorado had a skin when it arrived. Additionally, it had way too much salt. The rice was bland and pieces clumped together, again from sitting in a pan or container. The beans were cold.

When I went the waitress was amazing her name is Maria but when I went recently she wasn't there anymore and it broke my heart. Ohter than that the food is amazing plus there cocktails are to die for. They have this one cocktail called a "cazuela" and it's the best drink I've had but it had me tipsy after my third sip. What an amazing time spent at Mi Casita.
