Cheese enchiladas are topped with grilled beef and pork, cooked with tomatoes, onions and bell peppers, and served with a dark ranchero sauce. Pork tips and beans go into the burritos Mexicanos, which are matched with cheese, lettuce and tomato, avocado and jalapeno slices. Other items, such as chalupas and chiles rellenos, are also good. Su Casa provides margaritas and other fairly exotic tequila-based drinks that bear such titles as Vampiro, Submarino and, my favorite, Desarmador, but we were disappointed to find, the night we were there, that the mixes for these potent potions had not arrived. Service at Su Casa is friendly, well-intentioned and a bit tentative.
Food comes from a kitchen in a steady stream.
There's nothing slick about Su Casa, another in the city's growing roster of Hispanic-operated Mexican restaurants. The fare is mainly home-style, handmade, authentic and thoroughly enjoyable. Reviewers visit the restaurant unannounced, order from the menu, eat and pay the bill without being identified. The reports are not related to whether the restaurant advertises in The Commercial Appeal. A star rating is assigned according to performance in the areas of ambience, service and food.
