Ricardo Zarate Closes Peruvian Causita in Silver Lake After 9 Months - Eater LA

"Causita’s opening in April 2022 was seen as a new landing spot for Ricardo Zarate, a renowned Peruvian chef. Despite initial excitement and notable dishes combining Nikkei Peruvian flavors, the restaurant closed permanently after less than a year due to insufficient weekday volume. Zarate's partners in the venture expressed pride in the restaurant and hinted at potential future plans to resurrect Causita at a different location." - Farley Elliott

El Caserio Review - Silver Lake - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If you’ve ever taken the Silver Lake Blvd. exit off the 101, you’ve no doubt seen El Caserio and said, “Wait, what the hell is that??” On a random corner, El Caserio is a quiet, family-run Latin American restaurant with authentic food, and one of the coolest patios you’ve never heard about." - Brant Cox

It's a nice little hidden gem my girlfriend found for us. We sat outside and felt it was romantic and tranquil aside from the busy street sounds. Could use a little work outside, but definitely didn't take from the great taste of the food. Service was good and our waitress was very nice. We would definitely be going again. I recommend it if you love flavorful authentic dishes. The fried calamari was a great appetizer, not chewy or tough...it was cooked to perfection. I had a sea soup and I just loved it. My girl had potato gnocchi with a vodka cream sauce that had me wanting to order another dish for myself. All in all it was an awesome experience and very delicious. There is a 3.5% charge if you use card to pay.

Good food great presentation, nice ambience, so-so prices. Excellent service. Went there with my family to celebrate my mom's 83rd birthday and had a good time. We all liked our food except my mom who's meat was overdone. 4 stars just for that since it was her birthday.

What can i say this place freaking D E L I C I O U S! My wife is Colombian and this place brings a fusion all of South American. Happy Wife, Happy Life! Great Quality food! Great Drink selection. We ordered the churrasco and the pasta diabolo (jumbo shrimp with a spicy tomato sauce) During covid times bring a cell to scan for menu! Our waitress Sofi was soo sweet and patient! We'll be back for sure! Worth the drive we took from South Bay to Silverlake.

The resturant is beautiful with a charming patio too. The food is excellent. I jad the fanesca which is a typical Ecuadorian dish served only during lent. It was as delicious as I ever had in Ecuador. They have a large menu which also includes a lengthy list if Italian dishes and Peruvian dishes too. The service was great. The owner very nice and friendly. I am definately coming back here.

I've been coming to this place for years. It's a piece of Ecuador in Silver Lake. We enjoyed two staple cuisine dishes; llapingachos con fritada and fanezca. Although the food is delicious and of great quality they can improve on bringing out the dishes sooner.

Great food and presentation. Ecuadorian food that needs to be put on the map. They just need to be better staffed for better service. They forgot to check on our meals and we waited for like 30 minutes til they noticed. Luckily we had an appetizer already. The food was on point. I would love to try more! They have private parking. And they have a nice outdoor patio with heaters. For luncheons and small events the have a 30 people capacity back room. Will be back!

Food is fantastic...Peruvian fusion. Ambiance is great...dim lights for a romatic date in or outside patio. Good place for Bday get together. Menu has good options....Lomo Saltado! What's not to like. Small bar, wine in good selection....place feels and takes you in a good way...vibe. Bug wooden doors great you at entrance...private VIP parking....Great Place.
