A new Mexican restaurant is generating buzz in Martinez. Mi Casita Mexican Cuisine celebrated its grand opening late last month and has already received nominations for the city’s “Best of Martinez” award.
The restaurant is a collaboration among a trio of people who worked together in Danville before starting their own business together: Alexandra Romero, Jorge Romero and Jose Moran. Whenever they had downtime at their previous job, Jorge and Moran would cook Mexican food together, drawing inspiration from their hometown roots in Michoacán, Mexico. Alexandra Romero, who’s from Colombia but loves Mexican food, took note.
The includes wet burritos ($13-17), enchiladas ($14-18), tacos and other dishes you might expect, paired with an impressive dessert menu.
“I’ve never worked in a place that sells so many desserts,” Alexandra says. Her favorite is the fried plantains ($9) with horchata ice cream, condensed milk and caramel sauce, but there are also apple empanadas, churros, flan and lava cake on the lineup.
