Casa MX is a casual, neighborhood-style Mexican restaurant in Coral Gables organized around shared plates and communal tables. The room is broken into separate sections, including a smaller front room suited to a quieter meal, which makes the space feel larger than it is.
Much of the menu is built around botanas meant for the table: aguachile de camaron in classico and rojo versions, ceviche de atun Sinaloa, a huitlacoche quesadilla, and grilled octopus with garlic aioli and salsa macha. Tacos come on house-made tortillas — carnitas, lengua, and duck tinga among them — alongside flautas filled with duck confit, guacamole made to order, and homemade meatballs in chipotle-tomato sauce. Larger entrees like steak and whole fish round out the menu for those moving past the small plates.
Chips and salsa are complimentary, and the atmosphere stays casual rather than dressy, making it a comfortable stop for a relaxed date night or a table with kids in tow.
