Casa Mexicana

Casa Mexicana sits on West Kettleman Lane in the heart of Lodi’s vibrant Henderson Village, offering a colorful slice of Mexico to locals and travelers alike. The family‑run eatery welcomes guests with bright murals of papel picado, wooden tables and the scent of fresh cilantro drifting from an open kitchen. Diners can start the day with a hearty breakfast of huevos rancheros, chilaquiles topped with avocado, or a Mexican‑style omelette, while the coffee bar serves rich café de olla and freshly brewed espresso. For lunch and dinner the menu showcases signature tacos al pastor, carne asada, and fish tacos, alongside sizzling fajitas, smoky birria, and the restaurant’s famed queso fundido. Standout plates include the mole chicken with a deep, chocolate‑spiced sauce, the tender milanesa served with lime‑infused mayo, and the hearty pozole broth brimming with hominy and pork. The bar offers handcrafted margaritas, horchata, and a selection of Mexican beers. Prices range from $8‑$18 for most entrees, making it an affordable spot for families and groups. Casa Mexicana also provides catering for events, a full‑service bar, and a comfortable patio shaded by string lights. Open daily except Sunday from 11 am to 8 pm, the restaurant invites you to enjoy a lively atmosphere, friendly service, and the flavors of Mexico just minutes from Lodi’s downtown and wine country.
