Casa Del Alma is an absolute vibe!
The food was out of this world. The
tacos were fresh and packed with
flavour, the quesadilla was crispy
and cheesy with a delicious filling,
and the burrito was ample and
delicious. The service was amazing,
super friendly and attentive, and
the whole place had such a fun,
vibrant atmosphere. Definitely one
of the best Mexican spots we’ve
ever been to, we can’t wait to go
back!
What an absolutely incredible dining
experience we had at Casa del Alma in
Darlington!
From the moment we walked through
the door, we knew we were in for
something special. Tucked right in the
heart of the town centre, it’s the perfect
spot to grab an authentic bite before or
after exploring the area — but honestly,
once you’re inside, you won’t want to
leave.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated
with a mix of traditional Mexican charm
and quirky, fun details that give it a
warm and vibrant personality. Think bold
colours and little touches that make you
feel like you’ve stepped into a fiesta.
Everything was spotless, too — clearly
well looked after.
I started off with a spicy margarita that
hit the perfect balance of heat and citrus
— a bold twist on a classic that instantly
set the tone. The food was nothing short
of spectacular. We shared a variety of
dishes: tacos, quesadillas, and crispy
churros dusted in cinnamon sugar. Every
plate was immaculately presented, and
you could tell that great care had gone
into both the preparation and the
plating.
The standout? The boozy mojito
cheesecake. Genuinely one of the most
unique desserts we’ve ever tried —
zingy, creamy, with a little kick. Just
divine.
Midway through the evening, the whole
restaurant was invited to join in a
spontaneous burst of fun — sombreros
came out, music turned up, and
everyone got up for a quick dance break
with free tequila shots all around. It was
festive, hilarious, and brought the whole
room together in a shared moment of
joy. Where else do you get that?
The staff were just as memorable as the
food — warm, friendly, and attentive
without being overbearing. They
explained the menu in detail, made
great recommendations, and made us
feel genuinely welcome. Special mention
to the owner, Matei, who clearly pours
his heart into the place. His passion for
authentic Mexican cuisine shines through
in every aspect of the experience.
This isn’t just dinner — it’s a celebration
of flavour, culture, and good vibes. We
left full, happy, and already planning our
return. Casa del Alma is a must-visit if
you’re in or around Darlington.
We’ll definitely be back — ¡hasta pronto!
What Our
Customers Say
I visited Casa Del Alma twice, and I
must say it’s a wonderful experience
each time. The atmosphere is lovely, and
the decor is full of life, complemented by
beautiful music. There’s attention to so
many details, from the candles and
cushions to the Mexican vibes
throughout. The food is delicious and
fresh, and the staff are very friendly,
especially the lady who welcomes the
guests. I highly recommend this place!
