Casa Publica

Casa Publica in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is a fantastic Mexican restaurant and bar right by McCarren Park. Their evolving menu utilizes traditional Mexican home cooking techniques with dishes found in the markets of Puebla, Oaxaca, and Mexico City. We walked through the doors and opened the curtain revealing a big dining room in the front and back of the restaurant with designs influenced by Mexico City’s rich architectural history. Tina helped us with ordering this evening and she is super friendly and prompt which made feels feel like we’re at home. We were lucky to catch happy hour which is from Monday through Friday, 5-7pm. Salsa and guacamole is fresh which goes perfect with our margaritas and they were happy hour specials. The mushroom and chicken tacos are one of the best I’ve had which were also happy hour. If you like steak, then you must try their skirt steak. Tender and flavorful grilled to perfection over yuca fries with their chipotle mayo is sure to make your taste buds dance. Come for a drink. Come for a bite. Come enjoy the night! Strawberry Margarita 12 Mango Margarita 12 Salsas Caseras 5 Guacamole 14 Hongos Tacos 10 🍄 Pollo al Pastor 10 🐔 Asada Yucateca 29 🥩

Went with a group of four and we had such a lovely night! The food was excellent from the tasty queso fundido to the tacos and enchiladas. Cocktails were great too but the star of the night was the pumpkin flan. What a perfect dessert from taste to texture! Service was excellent too and very friendly. Highly recommend!

Tamarind margarita I was about to leave a 4* instead of a 5* review until I had their tamarind margarita Such a unique flavor, smooth and maybe TOO easy to drink. I live in the neighborhood and this is one of the 5 best cocktails I’ve had The service was great, The food was …. Not so much The salsas didn’t seem fresh, they covered their steak with this orange/yellow sauce - the steak was well cooked and tasty but the fish as a whole seemed off

We had brunch: coffee, burrito de alambre, and corn pancakes. The burrito comes deliciously with streak and a green sauce. The pancakes were not too sweet and had a variety of textures with the almonds, coconut, and a hint of mint. Definitely want to come back for dinner and again for brunch to try huevos rancheros! Server was super friendly too - we got a refill of our coffees :)
