La Casita Mexicana

Where To Have A Fun & Affordable Dinner In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The chile en nogada at this Mexican restaurant in Bell deserves its own cheerleading squad. But that’s only part of the allure of this longtime neighborhood staple. The massive room is wrapped in bright orange paint, families push together tables for big group dinners, and a live band performs on weekends. Beyond the stuffed peppers, La Casita Mexicana serves some excellent mole-covered flautas, smothered enchiladas, and juicy cochinita pibil that’s worth driving out of your way for. You can easily have dinner for around $30 per head, with portions big enough to guarantee leftovers for lunch the next day." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
