My wife and I have been to Casera over a dozen times. It is a staple of our Sunday afternoons. The staff and owners (family-owned!) are extremely friendly, the food is authentic, and the empanadas are the best I've ever had. My wife really loves the Peruvian Ceviche (only available on weekends), but you can't go wrong with anything here.Parking: Parking is readily available, but it's a Mad Max situation at all times. Drive slowly and watch out for erratic driving.

Been wanting to try this spot for a while and finally stopped in . I’m Dominican and love Colombian food and it’s almost impossible to find Colombian food here . I didn’t get food this time , I picked out three different pastries . The guava pastry is so soft and savory and the Dulce de leche cone is good just a little too hard for me . I will definitely be back for date night soon . Super clean inside and the owner was kind . Prices are very affordable as well .

Good food and good service. Nice setting and convenient location. A must for Peruvian and Columbian cuisines.

This restaurant is fantastic, and was a wonderful introduction to Peruvian cuisine. The meat was cooked perfectly, and the sauce combined with the rest of the dish for an amazing flavor. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing so far. we tried the enpanadas, pan de bono, and bunuelos. My son, wife, and I we were looking for something different, and we found this amazing spot Peruvian and Venezuelan dishes. I'm definitely going back and trying the entire dishes from breakfast and lunch.
Excellent meal. Excellent treatment. We have already gone twice. We will return. Highly recommended. Fair prices and very high flavor and quality. Much success.

Delicioso!! We discovered this restaurant by accident. We were visiting family in the area, and needed to pick up some food for a potluck. We were so happy we discovered Casera. We ordered: -Lomo soltado -Aji de Gallina -pork tamal -chicken empanada (fried) -alfajores -pastel Gloria (guava) -pastry with nutella -pastry with dulce de leche -apple turnover We really loved the jomo soltado and aji de Gallina. Those were some of the best renditions we've tried of those dishes. The empanadas were crunchy, and had similar filling as the aji de Gallina, but less creamy. Next time I want to try the baked empanadas. The tamal was good too, but a little dry. I'll give it a try though again next time with a different filling. I really loved the pastel Gloria. Sometimes I live guava, and sometimes I don't. This one was a winner, and competes with other popular guava pastries I've had. I will admit that I wasn't a fan of the dulce de leche desserts. The dulce de leche had a floral note which wasn't quite to my taste. All in all, I'm already thinking of what I will order next time we have a family gathering in the area. We had to wait a little while for our food, but not too bad. I wish they had a website where we could order ahead, but it's still nice to be able to support a family business. We're coming back!

Best empanadas I've had in a long time! I can't wait to try out all the different breads they have in their bakery too.
Amazing Food!
