Local tips
- Book ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings, especially if you want one of the cozier corner tables or are dining as a larger group.
- Come hungry for the all‑you‑can‑eat fajitas, which include refills of tortillas and fillings; it is one of the most substantial and social options on the menu.
- If you have dietary requirements such as vegan or gluten‑sensitive, mention this when reserving so the kitchen can prepare suitable alternatives.
- Consider an early evening sitting with children, when the atmosphere is a little calmer and there is more flexibility with seating.
- Ask staff for tequila recommendations if you are curious; they can suggest milder styles to sip or mix into a margarita that suits your taste.

Discover more about La Casita
Mexican warmth in central Silkeborg
La Casita sits just off Bindslevs Plads and feels like stepping straight into a neighborhood cantina, with low lighting, warm colors and a hum of conversation from closely spaced tables. The space is compact but cleverly arranged to accommodate couples, families and small groups, and the glow from candles and string lights gives the room an inviting, intimate feel. The restaurant champions the idea of eating "as in Mexico" in the middle of Jutland, blending classic recipes with a relaxed Danish sense of hygge. It is the sort of place where you settle in for the evening rather than rush through a quick meal, lingering over shared plates and one more round of drinks.Plates inspired by classic cantina cooking
The menu revolves around recognizable Mexican favorites: sizzling fajitas, cheesy enchiladas, loaded nachos, tacos and hearty platters designed for sharing. Fajitas are a signature here, often served all‑you‑can‑eat style with warm tortillas, grilled vegetables, beans, rice and a spread of salsas and dips so you can keep building wraps until you are full. Alongside meat‑based options you will find vegetarian and vegan versions, with thoughtfully prepared fillings such as grilled vegetables, beans and mushrooms, plus extras like guacamole and plant‑based cheese on request. Portions tend to be generous, so it is common to share starters like nachos or empanadas before moving on to mains.Tequila, cocktails and a lingering evening
True to its name, La Casita has a soft spot for tequila. The bar showcases different expressions, which can be sipped neat or shaken into margaritas and other classic cocktails. Beer and wine round out the drinks list, making it easy to match something to the level of spice you prefer. Music plays in the background at a comfortable level, adding to the atmosphere without overpowering conversation. The combination of hearty food, upbeat Latin rhythms and warm lighting makes it particularly suited to birthdays, casual celebrations and relaxed nights out where the focus is on time together.Rustic details and cozy corners
Design‑wise, the restaurant leans into rustic textures and colorful accents. Expect painted walls, Mexican‑inspired artwork, patterned tiles and wooden furniture. Small decorative details, from chili motifs to tequila bottles on display, reinforce the sense of place without feeling like a theme park. There are a few quieter corners that appeal to couples looking for a more intimate feel, while larger tables can host families and groups. In colder months the warmth of the interior is especially welcome, while in lighter seasons the big windows let in soft evening light from the square outside.Inclusive options and practical comforts
La Casita offers a mix of meat‑based, vegetarian and vegan dishes, and staff are accustomed to helping guests navigate options for different dietary needs such as gluten sensitivity. This makes it a useful choice for mixed groups where not everyone eats the same way. The atmosphere is casual and child‑friendly, so it works as easily for an early family dinner as for a later outing with friends. With its central Silkeborg location, it also fits well into a wider evening in town, whether you arrive after a lakeside stroll or round off the night here with dessert and a final cocktail.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
