My best friend and I visited La Casita on a whim and absolutely loved it. The ambience is lively and energetic with comforting, dim lighting. The service was excellent. We mentioned that we were learning spanish and Juan Carlos, and a friendly (and very muscular, you are who I aspire to be) bartender lady spent the rest of our time there teaching us new phrases and words very patiently. The food was amazing as well. 10/10, we plan on visiting every two weeks.

Great experience here! Very personalized service, lovely room. Started off with tasty complimentary bread and butter and tried the fried cauliflower and braised brisket. Braised brisket was excellent!
