Mi Casa Comes to RSM!
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 17th 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.
