The Scene
This funky redux of Rick's Cafe in Casablanca is littered with Bogart and Bergman posters, film stills, tropical props and the occasional neon beer sign. In the center of the dining room, a traditionally dressed woman grills hundreds of fresh tortillas over an ancient-looking stove.
The Food
Refreshingly, Casablanca's menu steers diners away from tacos and enchiladas toward eclectic steak and seafood options. Traditional margaritas trump syrupy mango versions and the too-sweet sangria. Skip the appetizers and dive into the basket of buttery, mouth-watering tortillas served with avocado-spiked salsa verde. Entrees are patchy. A rich Dos XX sauce overpowers filet mignon, and a tender calamari steak is hidden beneath a soup of soggy vegetables and murky tequila sauce. Opt for simpler fare like red snapper sautéed with butter and white wine, or the garlicky shrimp. Fresh tortillas make for rich chicken quesadillas and beef tacos.
