Mi Casa Comes to RSM!

03.08.12

By Sheryll Alexander

One of our favorite neighborhood Mexican joints, Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant & Bar, is set to open its second location this spring in Rancho Santa Margarita at the Plaza El Paseo shopping center.

The family-owned restaurant has been a fixture on Costa Mesa’s bustling 17^th Street since 1972 and this is the Moore family’s first try at expanding their “rustic-chic” Mexican concept. The 5,500 sq. ft. interior features brick accent walls, reclaimed wood and repurposed materials, flat screen TVs, a (soon to become local fave?) bar, semi-private dining rooms, an open kitchen, an original custom painting by local artist Todd Marinovich, and a large covered patio (with fireplace!).

As for the food, Mi Casa is famous for its generous portions of Sonoran-influenced dishes such as enchiladas, burritos, tamales and tacos. Mi Casa is also known for its steaks, seafood, margaritas and sangria.

And don’t miss happy hour (Mondays-Fridays from 3-6 p.m.) for $3 drinks and tapas and $1 tacos on Tuesdays in the bar or on the patio.

Wear to Where: So Minty

03.07.12

This spring it’s all about one pastel: Mint Green. Seen on the Spring 2012 runways of Zac Posen, Jil Sander and Elie Saab Couture, among others, this fresh and pretty hue is this year’s spring essential. A particularly fresh and delightful alternative to white, this light green shade looks great in solid, simple designs and is a great color for accent accessories. What’s the best way to wear it? Mix it with deep tans and nudes for a fresh, modern look, or play it up by pairing the color with other pretty pastels. Just think of pastel shades as updated neutrals. The popular way to wear this subtle yet sumptuous hue is in flowy dresses and tops, soft skinnies and sweaters. Mint is such a refreshing color and one we haven’t seen in a while so to get the full scoop and add this pretty shade of green to your spring wardrobe.
