La Casita Mexicana

For those who live in Los Angeles, Mexican food is part of our culture like Disneyland and Dodgers. Regardless of which part of the city you are, you are obliged to see one, two or more Mexican restaurants in your neighborhood, from fast food joints like Taco Bell and chain restaurants like El Torito to small hole in the wall taquerias and Casual family-run restaurants. If you have tracked my blog for a while, you probably know that while my emphasis tends to be on Asian cuisine, I love trying different cuisine, but the one that I have overlooked in the past was Mexican food. I always felt like there was not enough variety. The menus of the Mexican restaurants I would go into consisted mainl...

So La Casita was my first visit for last year’s fall dineLA, and a worthwhile one at that. Three of us went, and we each ordered the price fix menu and were all extremely happy with our choices. Here’s what we ordered: Appetizers: Azteca cheese fondue: Each bite had a different surprise – one bite had mushrooms, another had cactus, and another had a chili pepper. Mmmm…and even better with extra chili sauce added. Red snapper ceviche: Light and refreshing without being overly astringent. Chicken tacquitos: I didn’t get to try this but my friend said that they were delicious (no comparison to lame store bought taquitos). Entrees: Mole poblano with chicken: This was my entree of their famous 46...

Chile Relleno de Tamal de Huitlacoche This was the special tonight at La Casita Mexicana It was a huge roasted Pasilla Chile. In the middle there was a clogging of a tampale with splinter cheese in the middle. The huitlacoche (some call it Mexican truffles) was blown into the mascara with whole kernels of Mexican maize. The Chile emptied the tamale and gave him a delicious taste. It rests in a light jitomate sauce. Above the top was a spoon of Mexican crema and a thin slice of red onion. I never had anything like that. Can you imagine the taste of a freshly made tamale sitting in a Chile instead of a corn shell? Also on the specials tonight was a Pescado Tamarindo. It was so simple, gently g...

La Casita Mexicana is my #1 spot when it comes to Mexican food. All of the dishes that I've enjoyed from enchiladas, meats and not to mention drinks and deserts which are full of everlasting taste. I always celebrate my anniversarys and birthdays here. The inside and patio eating areas are filled with cool Mexican art pieces and are both great areas to dine in. I must give a round of applause to the entire staff. They are all great and go the extra mile to make sure our experience is great. Eat slowly so you enjoy every bite. Thank you to all of you.

This place is hands down some of the best Mexican food you can experience! What a treat was it to come here for my wife's birthday. The cochinita pibil is the best this side of the Yucatan, and the mole is the best! Treat yourself to a very delicious dinner and come down here to this place. You won't regret it.

Was in the area and hungry. The service was good. Had the guacamole to start. Very fresh but was lacking salt lime. Ordered the carne asada. It was good. Came with tortillas and refried beans. Big portions so come hungry. If you’re looking for tacos. Go somewhere else.
