The Chilaquiles were amazing and the guacamole was truly fresh with the right amount of heat! Had the all you can drink brunch special found in the Pulsd app; I preferred the sangria over the margarita. The service was on point and the authentic Mexican home appeal of the establishment was felt throughout. If we're in the area we'll definitely be back, as it's often hard to find a truly authentic Mexican restaurant we're used to as transplanted native Southern Californian's brought up in the barrios of East Los Angeles! See you there!

Places just don't do it like this anymore, everyone is singing together, laughing together, eating together, it feels like a true community. I got the Smoky Passion cocktail (I think that's the name?) and a mezcal old fashioned. So great!

After waiting for more than 30 minutes, we decided to check on the status of our food and found out our waiter accidentally put in the wrong order for a chicken skewer, which took much longer to cook. As a result, they gave us the dip for free and the chicken skewer with a discount. The chicken skewer was very juicy and tender, but slightly lacked flavor even with the sauces. However, I liked the tomato flavor of the matbucha, and the pita bread was very warm and fluffy.

I visited Casa with my mother and brother for what was supposed to be a celebratory family dinner…read more The chef, food quality, and servers were genuinely excellent, and I want to be clear that the wait staff handled an extremely uncomfortable situation as well as they could. Unfortunately, the conduct of the owner, who introduced herself to us as Jupira, turned the evening into one of the most violating restaurant experiences I have ever had. Before she came to our table, we had already noticed an extremely loud and disruptive nearby table. The noise was so excessive that my mother, brother, and I had trouble hearing one another. The owner was part of that table. She was vaping inside the restaurant, drinking, speaking loudly, and behaving in a way that made nearby diners uncomfortable. From our table, we observed her repeatedly touching and groping the people seated with her before she eventually came over to us. When she approached our table, she touched my hair and neck without permission and asked what I had been pointing at. She then introduced herself as the owner and began inserting herself into our meal. She sat uncomfortably close to each of us, placed items onto our plates, repeatedly touched my brother's water glass with her hands, leaving visible handprints, and invaded our personal space in ways that were completely inappropriate. She also appeared heavily intoxicated. Her breath strongly reeked of alcohol, and as she spoke loudly over us, saliva was landing on and around our food. My brother was visibly uncomfortable when she sat on his lap. She then moved next to my 66-year-old mother, squeezed in beside her, held her down, and kissed her cheek without consent. My mother, my brother, and I all felt deeply uncomfortable and violated. During this interaction, she repeatedly told us that her son would be starting at MIT in September and loudly discussed how hard she had worked to "get him there." She also shared inappropriate personal details, including comments about using tuition payments to control his choices. These details are included because they were specific, repeated, and memorable, and because the interaction was not a brief misunderstanding; it went on long enough to derail our entire dinner. The most disturbing moment came after she asked about my phone wallpaper, which was a photo of my 2-year-old daughter. My mother mentioned that we were out after visiting my newborn second child. The owner then made an offensive remark about the nationality of one of her in-law relatives (her cousin's husband or son-in-law). I told her that my wife is of that same nationality and that I did not condone or agree with the comment. In response, she told me my opinion did not matter and then jokingly wiggled her fingers over our entrée plates, saying that I should not say anything or else she "might poison" our food. At that point, we no longer felt comfortable continuing the meal. We asked for the check, explained our frustration to the staff, paid in cash, and left. We still tipped the servers because they were kind, professional, and not responsible for the owner's behavior. Again, the food and staff were excellent. But no quality of food can make up for an owner vaping in the dining room, appearing intoxicated, touching guests without consent, touching food and glassware, making offensive remarks, and joking about poisoning a customer's food. We left feeling thoroughly disgusted and violated. I would strongly caution anyone considering this restaurant, especially for a family dinner or special occasion, to choose somewhere else.

Recommendations below in order. In general, stick with the mezzes…read more Recommended: Artichoke, cauliflower Good: Skirt Steak, hummus, desserts Wouldn't recommend: Pappardelle, tahdig, soup dumplings I went to this pretty tasty and dimly lit Levant/Israeli spot a while back with a group. The service was friendly and gave good recommendations to those who wanted them, knowing the menu well as well as allergens. In general, I would recommend the mezze/small plates much more than the entrees. To drink, I had a Matos, with rye, rosemary Aperol, amaro Noveis, and lemon for $18. It was a creative and tasty cocktail with both the Noveis and rosemary adding a unique herbal flavor. Someone else enjoyed a mocktail, the $10 Yarok with cucumber, fresh ginger, and lime. From the mezzes I sampled, the best was the Artichoke for $17, with pistachio labneh, preserved lemon relish, and dukkah. The portion was large, and the artichokes were well-cooked with a soft texture. Otherwise, there was some nuttiness from the labneh and dukkah, and some sourness from the relish. I would recommend it heavily. Also very tasty was the $19 Cauliflower with chermoula, scallion, pickled raisins, and almonds. I much prefer spots that roast cauliflower enough to burn it slightly but not too much, and they did it perfectly here. Otherwise, there was a mild sourness from the chermoula, while the rest of the ingredients added crunch and a bit of sweetness. The Hummus for $17, with green schug, chickpeas, and pita, was good. It was smooth and silky, but I wish the tahina flavor were a bit stronger. I liked the addition of the schug, which added an herbal heat to it. The worst of the mezze and the worst dish overall were the Yemenite Soup Dumplings with beef and hilbeh for $19. This came with four large pieces, with the dumplings more resembling a Georgian khinkali in terms of thickness, which made them very doughy. While the soup was tasty, there wasn't that much of it. I wouldn't recommend this at all. My main dish was the alright $34 Pappardelle with mushrooms, sweet onion tahini, and bread crumbs. The pasta was a bit soft for my liking, and I found it a bit too sweet overall. The mushrooms had some good earthiness, but I wouldn't recommend this much. I also wouldn't recommend the Tahdig Rice, with saffron, pistachio, and barberries. The side is $16 and is listed for two, which is accurate based on size, but the flavor is lacking. The Persian rice side had a mix of textures, with some of it having the trademark crispiness, but there weren't that many toppings. Unless you're getting a dish with a sauce, I wouldn't bother. I tried a bit of the much better Skirt Steak for $38, with adobo dry rub, leek puree, mashwi salad, and potato chip. This dish had a fun presentation, and the skirt steak was perfectly cooked medium rare with a nicely seasoned rub. The chip was a fun concept and added a bit of crunch. In terms of others, someone else enjoyed the $37 Brick Chicken For dessert, some people ordered the Malawah Churros and the Almond Malabi. Both were $14 and were enjoyed. I was pretty full at that point, so I didn't have a bite of the former, while the latter had a pleasant rosewater flavor. They both seemed decent with a good enough portion. If I had the artichoke and steak, I'd probably give this spot a 5. However, it's too inconsistent with a couple of dishes that both the group and I disliked.
