Casa Borrega: New Orleans Mezcaleria

Mexican restaurant · Central City

@eater

"Open for dinner Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with plenty of outdoor seating available, Casa Borrega was an early adopter of Mexican food in the city and became a hub of Mexican, Central American, and South American culture along Oretha Castle Haley over the years. It reopened last year after a brief hiatus with a shortened menu focusing on the three T’s: tostadas, tacos, and tortas. Fillings might include tongue, pumpkin blossom flower, or huitlacoche, a tasty corn fungus also known as Mexican truffle." - Clair Lorell
