"For barbacoa tacos, margaritas, and guacamole in Williamsburg, try Casa Publica. They’ve got plenty of outdoor seating available on a first come, first served basis starting at 3pm daily." - matt tervooren
"Anchoring Brooklyn’s Mexican restaurant scene for years, Casa Pública is cited alongside La Superior as a long-running presence shaping Brooklyn’s Mexican restaurant landscape." - Luke Fortney
"This breezy Williamsburg restaurant will transport you to sunny Mexico in a flash. Tucked into a multi-room space boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, an ample bar and gorgeous imported floor tiles, Casa Pública is like a modern-day hacienda filled with well-crafted small plates and dreamy cocktails. Here, tequila is a food group of its own. Everything on Casa Pública's menu is executed with care, but this kitchen is so talented you should try venturing outside your comfort zone. Aguachile ceviche arrives wildly fresh, chockablock with tender sea scallops, serrano chiles, and crunchy jicama. For dinner, try the carne encebollada, a sizzling platter of Creekstone ribeye topped with sweet, melted ramps, meco chiles and smoky bone marrow." - The MICHELIN Guide
"In the North Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, Casa Publica is where Brett Riley previously served as executive chef, and Riley says the menu for the forthcoming Charleston restaurant Maya will look similar to Casa Publica." - Erin Perkins
"In Brooklyn, Casa Pública feels like a Mexico City–inspired spot that blends traditional Mexican home cooking with colorful, flavorful cocktails and micheladas; its managing partner, Daniel Ortiz De Montellano Luft, who was born in Mexico City, is politically vocal and has used his position to help staff with immigration paperwork and resources, reflecting an ethos of empathy and activism alongside the food." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
