    The hubby and I were craving Mexican the other day and didn't want to drive into Des Moines, so we pulled up the 'ol trusty yelp app and found this place in Carlisle! Omg! Thank you, yelp, once again! This definitely satisfied my Mexican craving and then some!

    The restaurant was very clean and inviting, the staff was friendly, and the prices were so cheap!!

    They brought out chips and salsa and the salsa was up there with the best I've ever had! The perfect consistency and heat level!

    I ordered the lunch special #4, I believe.  It was 2 ground beef tacos with rice and beans.  Soooooooooooo good! The beef had a ton of flavor and I really enjoyed the little peas through-out the rice. I finished every bite, down to the last few chip crumbs at the bottom of the basket!

    I can't say enough good things about LaVilla and can not wait to come here again! (hint hint, hubby)

    La Villa is a good restaurant.  They have really delicious mango margaritas. I enjoy most of their appetizers.  The cheese quesadilla and bean enchilada with a side of rice is what I typically order.

    Was looking for a place to grab some lunch on the way home and came across this place on Yelp. Since Carlisle doesn't have a lot of choices this looked like the best bet.

    What a fantastic authentic Mexican Restaurant.

    The place was pretty quiet when we arrived and never got busy. We had pretty good service, but could have been a little better on checking drinks as I could have used another.

    They serve alcohol and have Mexican Beer, Dos Equis, which goes great with Chips and Salsa.

    The Chips and Salsa were excellent. They bring plenty of Salsa with the Chips. The Salsa had excellent flavor and the perfect balance of flavor and heat. The chips were warm, crisp, and perfect.

    I ordered the ground beef burrito and it arrived super fast. Amazing! The ground beef had excellent flavor and the shell was perfect. The toppings were fresh. I loved everything.

    I can't wait to return to La Villa for more Mexican.

    Very good and strong alcoholic beverages. My boyfriend and I both ordered margaritas, mine frozen and his on the rocks. Both were flavorful and had a good amount of alcohol in them. The queso dip was delicious and the wait staff was attentive. Our meals were also quite delicious. They have an amazing Mexican rice and the best chori pollo in the area.
