About CasaEma

CasaEma is a welcoming restaurant that offers a variety of delicious dishes inspired by Veracruz. The menu features favorites like chicharron, chilaquiles, and pork huarache, all prepared with well-balanced flavors and generous portions. The chicharron stands out as a favorite, being extremely crispy with a flavorful sauce heavy on spring onion, making it impossible to stop eating. The chilaquiles de suadero and green sauce chilaquiles are also highly praised for their tangy yet smooth taste. For those with a sweet tooth, the thick and rich French toast makes a great sharing dessert, while the guava y queso empanada is messy, tangy, and filled with lots of guava, loved by many. The mole enchiladas are rich and highly recommended. Beverages like the fabulous horchata latte are a must-try, and the coffee, although sometimes watery, is generally appreciated. The chef's Veracruz roots shine through in all dishes, and the prices are affordable, making it accessible for everyone. Visitors enjoy the friendly atmosphere and tasty food, though some note that the restaurant can get cold quickly and has limited amenities like only one plug and no Wi-Fi, which may affect those working on-site. Overall, CasaEma is a delightful neighborhood spot for flavorful Mexican cuisine.
