Carne Asada / Taco Adobada / Taco

Literally can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is delicious and fresh. The salsas are great! Our favorites are the quesabirria tacos, Adobada Taco, Carne Asada Taco and the Leo burrito!

Adobada Taco (left) & Fish Taco (right)
Natalie P.

I've been so excited for this Mexican spot to open in Little Italy after walking past the "coming soon" sign for over a year! Finally went and picked up some tacos for takeout. The restaurant is counter service, with a small seating area, although they must mostly do takeout because there was no one inside on a saturday night. I got the adobada and fish tacos with the side of rice and beans. The tacos were both decent, but the salsas were a bit plain (the "medium" salsa verde had zero spice) and the rice and beans weren't great. There are lots of great (and lower price) mexican spots in SD that I would choose over La Casa Verde, but i'm happy to have a decent new taco/burrito spot in Little Italy and will probably give it another try.

Surf & Turf / Taco
Autumn L.

The workers were very helpful. Came in during off peak hours and had a nice conversation about what they recommend. The surf & turf taco was seriously incredible. I'm still thinking about it! The tacos were slightly larger than street taco size and had lots of filling. Two were perfect for an afternoon snack. I got to sit out on the patio which I always enjoy, too. the neighborhood is lively and fun to watch. I can't wait to return.

Birria

Great family owned and operated Mexican food spot in little Italy. The decor is highly instagramable with cute tiles and a plant wall. Don't sleep on the tres leches cake - by far the best I've had at a taco place. The spice of the atheer salad was really pretty - but be prepared for some heat with it! Friendly staff who takes your order at the counter.

Grilled Veggie Burrito
Jack M.

I stopped in this place for a quick breakfast Sunday morning. I ordered the Grilled Veggie Breakfast Burrito, but oddly enough, it does not come with grilled vegetables, which I quickly pointed out. The burrito comes with "black beans, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, potato wedges, cilantro & pico de gallo" (La Casa Verde, 2025). After I ordered it and paid, I asked the lady at the county what are the grilled veggies? I stated, that the burrito needed some grilled onions, peppers, zucchini, and maybe even mushrooms to call it a grilled veggies burrito. She agreed, and asked the kitchen to put some grilled vegetables in the burrito for me. They added onions, zucchini, and cauliflower. I was not a fan of the cauliflower mixed with eggs, but I decided to be grateful. The burrito was tasty. To make a long story short, if you are going to call a burrito "grilled Veggie" please put actually grilled Veggie on the burrito. There's a host of vegetables out there to choose from. Also, do not mix the black beans with the eggs, they discolor the eggs into a off putting grayish color. Just place the beans in the burrito. The service was good, and the salsa at the salsa bar were tasty and fresh. Inside and outside seating is available. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

La Casa Verde recently opened in a suite of the Little Italy Family Housing that used to be the home of a local acai bowl chain. By chance, it also happens to be across India St from the Consulado General De Mexico. As indicated by its moniker, the interior decor had lots of green color. The inside seating could hold close to 40 customers. A self-service salsa bar was stationed to the right of the service counter. You place an order at the counter, and they will bring the food to your table. During the soft opening period, there was a promotion of $5 for each of the five taco varieties (adobada, carne asada, fish, pollo asado, veggie). The full menu was not yet available so I chose one each of the first three for my meal. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. One of them delivered the platter to my seat. These were regular sized tacos that were dressed nicely. I didn't need to use any salsa from the bar as there was ample flavor in each taco. The best of the trio was the Fish because the fillet was perfectly fried and crispy. Both the pork in the adobada and the beef in the carne asada were tender. Most of the tacos have been kept at the $5 price point which is good. My concern is with the burritos. All of them cost $15 or more which is expensive considering there is a fairly new taco spot several blocks north on the same street that charges between $10 and $13 for similar size burritos. A specific example would be a California Burrito which has a $17 price tag here versus $11 at the other place. That's a substantial difference of over 50% I gave a 4.5 star rating for my dining experience at La Casa Verde.

Uncle Leo walking the floor!
Wayne L.

When your neighbor and 'man about town' Patrick say you got to try this new taco spot...you put it on the list. When he says it's his families and Uncle Leo will make sure I'm taken care of... I drop everything and head over immediately! I love my spots in Little Italy.... But I was missing a good taco spot in the neighborhood. I know my tacos. I love tacos. Patrick was right on both counts.... This is the Taco Spot... and Leo will take care of you. I started out with the Birria and Adobada tacos. Then on to the Asada and the Fish.... All were fresh and full of flavor. I have also had the burritos and, today, the Baja Salad.... It was perfect! Thanks Patrick for the usual spot on intelligence. Thank you uncle Leo for making Little Italy even better!

FISH TACO & ADOBADA TACO & HORCHATA AGUAS FRESCAS . Both Tacos are delicious
Michael G.

Made a quick stop in Little Italy . Found this LA CASA VERDE . The only available food they are serving are Tacos for now since they just opened Monday May 5 , 2025 . But they said tomorrow Friday May 9 they will start serving their Full Menu . At first i got the Adobada & Fish Taco and Horchata Aguas frescas . After tasting the first batch of my order , I ordered another set of 2 tacos , I ordered again their Adobada Taco , I really like their Adobada , the meats are tender and delicious and also i ordered their Carne Asada . Their Fish Taco was good , crispy fish and flavorful . As always parking in Little Italy is tough . Staff are all friendly , thanks Peyton for the wonderful service . Nice breeze because they have huge windows , they have outdoor seating too . Inside I see 7 tables so far and 2 outdoors . Good food , their Adobada and Fish Tacos are really good ones .

Bean and cheese burrito
Sandra H.

I was walking my dog Lucky and trying to figure out what I wanted to do. Not sure if I wanted to have a bar bite with a beer or something else until I passed by La Casa Verde, and realized I haven't checked out one of the only Mexican food joints in the area. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito. I forgot the name of my salad, but it's the one that is first on the menu underneath the salad section that comes with fish and I also ordered the corn ribs. I feel like you can tell how good a place is going to be from the beans which I thought were very tasty but the cheese wasn't melted in my burrito which is a little disappointing, but I'm still happy with my leftovers that I'll reheat and allow it to melt The salad was also delicious. I thought it was just a little underdressed, but Axel the server who took my order, gave me two different dressings that I was able to try with my salad and it was great. The corn ribs however had me dancing in my seat from how good they were. It was like an elevated street corn but didn't have that Tajin tang that I sometimes don't want on my corn. Honestly, I can't wait to go back just to eat that again. But the one thing that I really wanted to mention, was the good karma that Axel showed me as I was already a block away from the restaurant and he came and brought over my $55 change that I had dropped on the floor. I was very thankful that he did that I look forward to coming back. Thank you, Axel. You're a standup guy.

Carne Asada & Eggs Burrito
Jessica G.

Went there this morning for late breakfast. I ordered a Leo breakfast burrito. They accidentally brought me a carne asada burrito with egg. It was still delicious, very flavorful, the steak was so tender, and the tortilla was toasted perfectly. The staff offered to make my original order and package it to -go for free, even thought I loved what they brought me. I also got a vanilla iced coffee, which was pretty average but hit the spot. Also got to try the verde chilaquiles, which were perfect. Good sauce/chip ratio and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Staff were very friendly and service was pretty quick

My husband and I had our Lunch here on their First day of Soft opening, it was only Tacos that was available that day. Then we came back with our Son after a week and more Tacos and more food selections were available. Got our Son the following food to try: *FISH TACO *SURF & TURF TACO *ADOBADA TACO *SHRIMP TACO *BIRRIA TACO *CALIFORNIA BURITO Everything tasted good, but our Favorites were the Fish Taco & ADOBADA and the SURF & TURF. The CALIFORNIA BURITO was not as good, I had better from other stores. But for us the Tacos all tasted good. Not a big space inside, but we are used to just ordering to go .The day that we came with our son it was a Busy day, but luckily we got perfect seats. Their service is Superb, very friendly staff. AXL is awesome, he went to our table multiple times to check on us. Parking is the annoying part since they're in Little Italy, it can be packed with tourists too, it depends on the time you will go, mostly it is busy during dinner time on the weekend.

Adobada / Burrito
Luiza M.

Quick service and large burritos, but a bit pricey for what it is. I always go for an adobada and unfortunately kept wishing for more flavor in every bite, it was mostly just salty, and the salsas were lacking in flavor as well. With so many incredible Mexican places in SD, I don't know if I'd choose La Casa Verde again but it was worth the try and a quick Mexican option in Little Italy.

Suzie P.

Very good tacos de carne asada! Also recommend the taco de carne adobada!!! Highly recommend this place.

We were seated in a shaded area with plenty of space around us, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried--perfect for actually enjoying good food and conversation. A huge part of what made our visit so memorable was our server, Carina. She struck that rare balance of being genuinely warm and personable while also staying incredibly attentive. She was outgoing without being overwhelming, kind in a way that felt natural, and had a great sense of humor that made us feel instantly at ease. Carina was also very knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful suggestions without any pressure. She checked in at just the right moments and made sure we had everything we needed, all while keeping the vibe light and fun. You can tell she really cares about creating a good experience, and it shows. For food, I ordered the smash burger with onions and lettuce served in a corn tortilla, along with a side of jicama. The burger itself was flavorful and satisfying, with flavorful juiciness you want from a smash burger. The onions added a nice savory depth, while the lettuce gave it a fresh crunch that balanced everything out. Serving it in a corn tortilla was a great twist--it made the whole dish feel a bit lighter while still being super filling, and added a subtle, warm corn flavor that tied everything together really well. The jicama on the side was crisp, refreshing, and slightly sweet--an ideal contrast to the richness of the burger. My friend went with a salad and an IPA, and both were a hit. The salad looked fresh and well put together, and they couldn't stop talking about how good it tasted. The IPA paired perfectly--cold, crisp, and exactly what you'd want alongside a light but flavorful meal. Overall, everything just worked--the food, the atmosphere, and especially the service. Carina really elevated the experience and made us feel taken care of in a way that's hard to come by. I'll definitely be back.
