How
great is it to have another incredible restaurant in SMA! We just can't stop
raving about the food at Casa Blanca Cafe, Juarez #9, in the Casa Blanca 7
Hotel.
Chef Donnie
Masterton created another winning dish with the cafe's BLT
salad; loaded with pork belly, pumpkin seeds, hard boiled egg and dressed with
a blue cheese vinaigrette.
The
Shakshuka with poached eggs has incredible flavors; true to the Morocco we
remember and different from anything else we have in SMA. It totally changed my
love status with chick peas.
The
table snack is a lavash with zaatar, which is sumac, shallots, thyme and sesame
seed. So light and delicious, I can easily put away a cup or two or three with
my meal, along with the hot, thin pitas.
The
Margarita is now my favorite. It's so hard to get a Margarita right; not too
sour and not too sweet. This one was perfect.
Lunch:
$270 pesos for 3 items; a fantastic split:
Roasted
cauliflower with sumac and zaatar.
Lamb
meatballs with a jam of eggplant and tomato with tzatziki.
Ribeye
stuffed meloui with onion, mint, parsley, cilantro and sumac.
Chef
Juan Jose (J.J.) Castaneda and his culinary team are ready; open daily 8:00 AM
- 10:00 PM and on Saturday/Sunday, with a brunch starting at 11:00 AM. This is
another restaurant where we plan to eat the menu because everything looks
spectacular.
The
food was definitely worth the wait and now has us highly anticipating the
premier of Fatima, the rooftop restaurant, which is set to open later this
spring. Stay
tuned.
