Nestled in
between Plaza
One and Two of
Downtown Los
Angeles’s
financial
district, Casa
offers dining al
fresco style for
the busy
on-the-go
business tycoon
or the latest
tourist to our
shining city.
Taking
inspiration from
the four-wheeled
curbside cuisine
known as the
taco truck,
restaurateur
Mario del Pero
and Chef Kris
Morningstar have
created a
destination that
marries
California fine
dining with the
rich traditions
of Mexican
cooking.
Featuring both
an outdoor patio
equipped with
fire pit and a
sexy interior
filled with
Latin sounds,
sights, and
smells, Casa was
designed to
capture the cool
trendiness of
the LA
restaurant scene
while being both
inviting and
upscale.
During the day,
Casa caters to
the local
businesses by
offering a
quick-service, “Taqueria
Menu”, that
allows diners to
customize their
order by
choosing a meat
filling then
assigning it to
a dish (burrito,
enchilada, taco,
etc.). During
dinner Casa
turns into a
more formal
dining
experience with
warm, attentive
service, sweet
drinks and tasty
eats. They also
offer an
excellent Happy
Hour during the
week and a “Taco
Truck” menu from
10 pm to 12 am
for those out
for a late bite
to eat. Looks
like Casa is out
to please
everyone.
If the mood
strikes you can
hide away in one
of the
semi-private
Casitas and
begin your
dining
experience with
one of Casa’s
signature drinks
such as the
Margarita
Lavanda, infused
with fresh
lavender. For
something unique
with a kick, try
the Margarita
Picante made
with real
jalapeno puree.
Make that two
kicks I think.
Next, go for one
of the Bocaditos
(little bites)
like the
Albondigas or
Queso Flameado.
You can also
dive right in
and go straight
for one of the
delicious
entrees such as
the Pascada a la
Veracruza,
featuring Mahi
Mahi roasted in
a banana leaf
and topped with
a tomato caper
sauce on a bed
of citrus rice,
yum! Finish your
meal off with
the sweetness of
the Churros con
Chocolate or
Tres Leches. Am
I making you
hungry? One can
never go wrong
with melted
cheese,
margaritas, and
deep fried
decadence.
A visit to Casa
is a definite
must and unique
experience in
and of itself.
Come see some of
the best that
Los Angeles has
to offer under
the towering
skyscrapers of
Downtown in the
midst of a
Renaissance.
