Casta Verde – Mexican
The air at Casta Verde is thick with the savory, charred aroma of chicken spinning slowly on the rotisserie and sizzling over open flames until the skin reaches a perfect, golden crisp. Hearty plates of salt-kissed fried cod and tender grilled cuts are elevated by the vibrant, lingering kick of house-made hot sauce, creating a rustic feast that feels both timeless and deeply comforting. This soulful experience finds its sweet finale in the flaky, caramelized layers of a traditional pastel de nata, offering a warm taste of heritage in every bite.
