Best WLM Reviews
It's been a few years since I was here. I recently ordered take-out chicken tacos. I tried calling in my order but the call went to a voicemail that was full. I learned the staff working the front area have only one phone line and if it's busy the call goes to a voicemail which was full. I would think that a business like this could have someone monitoring the lines to take food orders. Two tacos a' la carte was $12 plus tax. Food quality was good but pricey.
I have never been disappointed with the quality, quantity or service. Delicious doesn't do justice to the authentic taste of Mexican food. The way Nana made.
Salsa is great! I could taste the stale oil in the chili relleno. My husband also says that he has had better chile rellenos. I would rate my tamale a three or four stars. The person we were with ordered the shrimp and he seemed to really have liked it.
First time here and everything was delicious! Fresh chips and salsa, beer was cold, service was top notch and the entrees were flavorful and plenty! They also make their tortillas fresh as you can see from one of my pics she is behind the glass making them from scratch!
Great food, fast and friendly service. Ceviche was awesome. Fajitas were flavorful and not over cooked.
According to Google, Mexican cuisine is second only to Chinese in American popularity. Having grown up in Arizona, I can honestly say it is hard to find an exceptional Mexican restaurant. This is contrary to what one would expect. As a retired chef having travel around the world, I’ve eaten in some amazing restaurants. The flavors of Mexican cuisine are some of my favorites. Whether smokey flavors from the Sonoran desert, or the oceanic cuisine from Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, to the seven moles of Oaxaca, I simply love Mexican food. Yet, it’s difficult to find much else beyond the plethora of mediocre Tex-Mex here in the southwest, which perplexes me. I would think competition would drive quality, as in New York City, where it’s hard to find a mediocre restaurant because of the fierce competition.
All that being said, I was delighted to find Casa Perez! My wife and I were on our way to Prescott Valley and hungry. A Google search yielded Cases Perez was only a few miles ahead in Dewey, Arizona, on Highway 69, and had a good rating, so we stopped. I am delighted we did!
We arrived at 11:15 am. The outside of the building is plain and unassuming. There were only a few people in the restaurant on this Saturday morning. The restaurant wasn’t very busy, so we were wondering, “How good is this place? It’s not very busy.” They immediately seated us, and they delivered chips and salsa to the table. The friendly server set water and menus on the table, asking if we wanted anything else to drink, to which we declined. The restaurant is exceptionally CLEAN, and wonderfully decorated with historic Mexican murals on the walls, tables, and chairs. Staff is wearing the uniform of the day. Mexican music is playing in the background, but is not so loud that is annoying, as is sometime the case is some restaurants. Here, the music is quite pleasant and adds to the environment. The restrooms are spotless as well. There is also a gift shop. So they obviously take pride in their Mexican heritage.
Now for the food. When I visit a Mexican restaurant for the first time, I often order a shredded beef taco, cheese enchilada, and chili relleno with refried bean and rice. This gives me a good idea of how well they know how to season their food. If they can’t get these simple things right, they won’t be able to get other more complicated dishes right either. The red sauce on the enchilada was rich and savory. They nailed it. The beef in the shredded beef taco was well-seasoned, and the shell was nice and crunchy, with a solid texture. The relleno batter was light and fluffy with a savory and rich green chili sauce. I would have preferred a bit more spicy heat, but it was still amazingly flavorful. The refried beans were perfect, as was the Spanish rice. My wife ordered the shrimp fajitas, which came to the table sizzling hot on a cast iron griddle on a wooden platter, with her rice and bean on a separate plate. She was surprised at the number of shrimp in the order. She raved at the flavor of the food and how the shrimp was not over-cooked (as it often can be).
While the prices are higher than most Mexican restaurants, the portions are also larger than most. Neither one of us finished our food. If we lived in the area, we would have taken the rest of our food with us, but being from out of town this was not a practical option.
Service was timely and very professional. Our server was extremely friendly. We will return, and I’m excited to try other menu items when we return. I am delighted to offer a rating of five stars.
This place is usually a 5 stars, but man the service was really bad on this visit (young girl who spent more time talking than she did waiting on us). The food is absolutely delicious, the best in a 30 mile radius. We drive there from Prescott. If you are traveling to Prescott, stop in for a bite, if you live in the area drive to Dewey for some really good chow... you will not be sorry.
Visited for the first time, I have passed by, and when I don't see it empty, it's full. I was surprised it was not that big and more surprised to see there was a tortilla maker, nothing better than fresh tortillas. It's quickly began to get busy as we ordered, so the service got slower, but the chicken with mole I ordered with flour tortilla was great.. atmosphere was super cozy and colorful. Mexican decor brightened up the place beautifully .
