A trip to Brunswick Heads isn’t complete with an ice-cold margarita and a plateful of tacos in the leafy, string-lit courtyard of La Casita. This vibrant, Oaxacan-inspired restaurant brims with warmth and energy on a Saturday night. Terracotta pink tables fill with micheladas (a spicy mix of specialty brewed cerveza and house-made salsa roja), while diners peruse a tight, produce-driven menu. Jalapenos rellenos are a staple, charred over the grill and overflowing with pork sausage and creamy cotija cheese. The pescado taco is a multi-textured delight with golden, battered fish, crunchy sugarloaf cabbage and tangy garlic salsa atop a steaming hot corn tortilla. And to finish? The crowd favourite, a slice of tres leches cake with caramel sauce zig-zagging across a delightfully cold milky sponge. Another margarita or something from the artisan mezcal list are fine ideas, too.
