Who can resist spicy, authentic Mexican cuisine from Casa Baeza in Truckee, Ca? Not me for sure. Owners, operators and brothers, Andres and Calisto Baeza, keep the food hot, the beer cold and the jokes fresh. These guys are experts in good food and good fun. Casa Baeza is all about having a good time, no long faces here.
Warm, fresh cooked tortilla chips and homemade salsa with a bit of a kick, start every meal. I always add an order of guacamole to cool my tongue from the tasty salsa. Balance is good, right? Lunch and dinner choices include all of our authentic Mexican favorites including tamales, menudo, enchiladas (red and green), tortas, carnitas, tapatias and ceviche just to name a few of many. Each entree is cooked in the tradition and taste of old Mexico. Recipes have been perfected and that’s why this place is a hopping spot!
The full service and happening bar in Casa Beaza carries over 55 brands of Tequila on the regular menu as well as 15 top shelf brands and 7 over the top brands. The Baezas know tequila, but in case you are not a tequila fan, their bar serves all the other party spirits too. On the soft drink side, seven sodas from Mexico are available to insure that all may sample a true taste of that country. Drop in on Andres and Calisto Beaza at 10004 Bridge Street in Truckee, Ca or call for something to go at 530- 587-2161.
