I have been to Las Cazuelas three or four times and have yet to be disappointed. Whether I am sitting upstairs or down, there for dinner or brunch, the food is always great and the service is always excellent. It is BYOB and you can bring liquor and they will make the mixed drinks for you, which is really cool.
I have tried a few different items on the menu and here are some highlights; Antojitos Rancheros, the appetizr platter which is large enough to have for a meal and provides a nice selection of items; Mole Poblano; Banana Crepes; Vanilla Tres Leches; Huevos Rancheros; and the Pan A La Francesa.
Also, they are always on Groupon and LivingSocial, so check out the deals, but be sure to tip you waitstaff well because they do an excellent job.
I tried Las Cazuelas recently, after hearing pretty good things about the food and atmosphere. The first day I went in the place was crowded but we were seated promptly and our order was taken right away. The food came out fast for how many people were there. However, it lacked any real flavor. Camarone tacos for me and a seitan dish for my friend. The seitan was way too salty with no other flavour and the tacos were very bland. Still hungry, we got the ceviche. This was the ONLY good thing about our meal. Water glasses weren't filled at all during the meal, even after the restaurant emptied.
I decided to go back a few days later, to give it another chance. We had a different server this time, who seemed very new to the business. Tables who sat after us had their order taken before. However, again, the food came out fast. (Wrong order first, but quickly fixed.) This time I got the veggie enchiladas and my friend got the camarone dish. Again, VERY disappointed. Salt and pepper seem to be their only seasonings. The shrimp had NO flavour, they were very much overcooked. The sauce on the enchiladas was the same salsa put out on the tables as you are seated. The veggies on the side of the shrimp meal were the exact same as the ones in the enchiladas. There is no creativity or thought behind any of these meals.
I will not be going back. I have had MUCH better Mexican off of the trucks in South Philly.
I went back and forth trying to decide whether my experience at Las Cazuelas warranted 2 or 3 stars. On one hand their food was delicious - seriously amazing guacamole, insane appetizer platter, on point chimichurri asada. But their service (and this is coming from somebody who NEVER complains about service and always tips more than she should) was TERRIBLE.
You know something is wrong if you've finished the first round of appetizers and you still have yet to get either silverware or sharing plates. Also those margaritas you asked for never came, until you finally managed to flag down your waitress (after multiple attempts) and practically begged her. Trying to figure out how the heck you were going to eat the next plate of food without a fork or knife or ANYTHING, you asked the guy who came to clear your plates if you could please get some sort of utensils and maybe plates if that wasn't too much to ask, napkins would be marvelous. Miraculously after 10-15 minutes of staring at the appetizer sampler your prayers were answered! But still no napkins. Your water glass was never refilled throughout the duration of the meal, and it took you 10 minutes to find the waitress to ask for the check, a good 15 minutes for her to bring you the check, 15 more minutes until you could wave her down so she could take your credit card, and 10 minutes until she came back with the receipt.
It really wasn't the waitress's fault either - she was really nice, and it was apparently her first week on the job and she was covering the restaurant BY HERSELF on a Sunday night. She was clearly trying her best to deal with the crappy situation the management had put her in. Nobody can cover a whole restaurant (even one as small as Las Cazuelas) by themselves when it's a full house!
All in all I'm probably going to give them another try - like I said, their food was great! They just have some very obvious service issues to work out. Scheduling multiple servers would probably be a good start.
I just hope next time we at least get some napkins...
Ate here with my dad for lunch.
We quickly got addicted to the chips and dip!
The food was very good and the atmosphere and service was great.
Would eat there again.

So I love spicy food. At most places, I load on the hot sauce. So I assumed when I got the arroz con pollo with chicken, rice, and mexican sauage (which was delicious) that it wouldn't be spicy enough. I so stupidly didn't even taste it and asked for some hot sauce, which they brought me in a dish. It looked like Franks Red Hot, so I dumped it on. Big mistake. The hot sauce was SO SPICY (which unbeknownst to me, they charged me $1 for). It was so hot that I downed 5 glasses of water, had tears in my eyes, and couldn't finish the rest of my meal. On the plus side, I was stuffed from water and hence, didn't overeat!
The service here is really fantastic. The server was so friendly and kept our water glasses filled. We had a groupon ($15 for $30) and although it didn't say it on the groupon, the server told us that it came with a free dessert! We got the crepes with bananas, caramel, and fresh berries which was tasty. You also get free chips and tomatillo sauce, which was great. The place is BYO, takes credit cards, and they offer different margarita mixes w/ your booze. They have a private room upstairs which is great to reserve for large groups.
