This is our new found secret in Ogden. Tucked away, it’s easy to miss, but now hard to pass by! All the food tastes like you’re sitting in the kitchen of a Mexican abuela. Homemade thick corn tortillas, delicious salsa and homemade chips, and flavorful meat, etc., I haven’t had anything I didn’t like here. The atmosphere is also fun and laid back. You MUST try their agua fresca! So delicious. Our kids love it too! This restaurant is owned by a local family (my husband knows their daughter) and you can tell they truly put their heart and soul into the restaurant!
Denny came out and did my wife's celebration of life. He did a awesome job! Food was beyond good.. I will definitely be using him again. Best tacos around by far.. Thank again denny..
This place is such a hidden gem. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with amazing flavors, this place is a must-visit! The ceviche was absolutely fresh and perfectly balanced — zesty without being overpowering. The birria was out of this world — rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor. Plus, the drinks were spot on — crafted beautifully without being overly sweet, letting the natural ingredients really shine through. You can tell they care about quality here. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and food that leaves you already planning your next visit! I'm so sad I didn't get any pictures.
Solid 4.5 stars! I typically don't order out especially Mexican food because it's difficult for me to want to pay restaurant prices for food I can make better at home. I've been sick with a bug and too tired to cook and really wanted nachos, so decided to give Case De Nena a shot. We ordered a Carne Asada Burrito, Birria Tacos and Carne Asada Nachos. I was pleasantly surprised everything was well seasoned and the Red Salsa was actually flavorful and *muy picante* which is hard to find in UT. The other salsas were great, too. The Birria tacos were just okay, but I'm not usually a huge fan of them anyway, so I won't doc them a whole star for my preference. The consome was super tasty and the tortillas were hand made, supple and very good. We'll definitely be back!
Everything was flavorful and delicious. We had the beef soup, the shrimp salsa and rice. We also ordered a cocktail cucumber drink. It was so refreshing and absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!
Super great food, the chips came out with salsa and they were very spicy for me. I wish they had a little water to begin with, but they brought it out later and it worked out great. I ordered the enchiladas and it was so delicious. My daughter ordered the birria tacos and she’s so happy. My other daughter ordered the burrito and it was massive enough to feed an a giant.
We love Casa de Nena. The Birria tacos and nachos are our favorite We enjoy the quality of the meat. I’m super picky and don’t love finding a piece of fat or extra chewy pieces. They are picky too and I just don’t have to worry. Love that about them! The Birria has great flavor! Their spicy sauce, onions, cilantro and lime are beautifully served on the side. So glad we found them!!
I would have never found this place had I not been going to one of the warehouses of the companies I work with. It's really off the beaten path but right off of the freeway as well. Their empanadas are so damn good.
