Su Casa - La Jolla, CA Review

At La Jolla's Su Casa, you can get all the usual Tex-Mex style Mexican foods (taco combinations, fajitas, etc). But that's all you try, you'll miss out on what sets them apart from the big American chains.  

The difference is the sea food. Sea bass, prawns and mussels are among my faves. They also make a mean margarita, or two, as you'd expect. Great salsa too, not the mild/bland stuff.

Certainly you can get the same things, for the most part, down in Old Town or elsewhere, but the other thing that sets Su Casa apart is it's not so much in the tourist mode as the Old Town  and middle-of-La Jolla places. Being well outside the center of La Jolla and a very short walk from Windansea beach, it draws more of a local contingent. Inside, it feels well established, not new and shiny.

Somehow it never seems all that crowded, or maybe I've just ducked the biggest nights. Anyway, it works for me.
