Here is the door man at the El Caserio by the 101 fwy. If you make friends with this guy, you are in. But once you get in through the heavy, wood carved vintage dungeon door, you are greeted by the very friendly staff. We sat outside in the courtyard by a giant tree. V ordered an exotic fruit juice and the waitress brought out samples of all four flavors. He chose the guanabana... mmmmm delish.
We ordered Llapingachos Con Carne Asada... Which is the skirt steak with grilled potato patties. The steak was very tender and flavorful... quite good. The potato patties had some sort of white goo in it. V really liked it but B & H were not wowed by it.
Tallarines Saltados Con Carne... Quite unusual! Almost like Asian tossed noodles with skirt steak. Pretty yummy.Camarones Saltados... Sauted french fries, onions, tomatoes and shrimp.
This dish was wow! So juicy.
The prices are a bit on the high side ($15-$22) for lunch but the portions are huge.
Next time H & B will split an entree and try the empanadas and sweet corn and cheese tamales.
This place is a must try and we will be back for sure.
I'd butter this bun anytime...
Even if I were bulimic, I'd keep this one down.
El Caserio, 401 Silver Lake Blvd., 213-273-8945
