UPDATE: A vibrant new dining experience has just launched in Sherman Oaks, attracting food enthusiasts with its innovative take on Modern Mexican cuisine. Casita, located at 14015 Ventura Blvd., is quickly making a name for itself by transforming traditional dishes into extravagant culinary productions.
The menu highlights a standout $21 guacamole, served with an impressive array of five salsas and a generous portion of chips, ideal for sharing among friends or family. Diners can enjoy this unique presentation on a lazy Susan, elevating the guacamole experience to new heights.
Casita is not just about guacamole; it features an extensive selection of dishes that push the boundaries of Mexican cuisine. Among the offerings are raw dishes like tuna tartare and yellowtail crudo, infused with flavors such as tamari and yuzu soy. The menu also boasts inventive tacos, including an Impossible Beef taco dubbed the “Impostor,” which is perfect for those seeking a meat substitute.
In addition to the culinary delights, Casita presents a remarkable selection of tequila and mezcal. Guests can choose from flights that range from $23 to an extravagant $450 for the Clase Azul Ultra. This high-end mezcal experience represents a significant evolution from the cheaper varieties of years past.
Food critic Merrill Shindler noted that while the restaurant’s prices may be on the higher side, with items like the $120 tomahawk steak and $95 Wagyu steak, the quality and creativity justify the cost.
