La Casita Mexicana ~ 4030 Gage Ave Bell, CA 90201 - (323) 773-1898
In Los Angeles, Mexican food is as much a part of our culture as Disneyland and the Dodgers. Regardless of what part of town you're in, you'll see one, two or more Mexican restaurants in your neighborhood, from fast food joints and chain restaurants like El Torito to small hole in the wall taquerias and casual family-run restaurants.
The menus of many of these Mexican restaurants consist primarily of tacos, burritos, tostadas, quesadillas, etc. Not that those dishes weren't tasty, but once I sampled everything, there wasn't anything new to look forward to. I always felt like there wasn't enough variety in the local restaurants in my area.
It wasn't until my first meal at La Casita that my eyes were opened to new and different tasty possibilities that I never experienced before and all because of the soulful cooking of Chef-Owners, Jaime Martin del Campo and Ramiro Arvizu. I've dined at La Casita for the past 3 years and with each meal, I'm just thankful that I've been able to expand my view of Mexican cuisine and experience more of its culinary traditions.
