Casa Mono: My Go-To Eats 🍽️

🌸Casa Mono has become my go-to spot! I’ve always loved their dishes—they’re rich and perfect for pairing with drinks. I’ve eaten here many times and even posted about it before. Plus, since they open for lunch, it’s super convenient and cozy. (If you don’t drink and worry about feeling too full, be cautious.) 🥪 🍃Ever since I tried their Arroz Negro (black rice with cuttlefish and roasted pepper sauce), I’ve been hooked! The rice is perfectly al dente, the sauce is rich and flavorful, and the roasted pepper sauce adds a tangy kick. 🍽️ The cuttlefish is always fresh and sometimes cooked to be incredibly tender, though occasionally a bit chewier, but always delicious. A squeeze of lemon adds a refreshing touch. It’s the kind of dish I could eat every day! 🍲 🌊 Today, I tried their daily Special—lamb chops with Couscous. Another standout! The lamb chops were super fresh, with a crispy texture that’s just perfect. The green sauce was rich, garlicky, and had just a hint of spice from the parsley. 🌆 The couscous was amazing—made from coarse semolina, it had a hearty, grainy texture. Their version was larger and chewier, packed with smoky, savory flavors from the bacon, and studded with dried fruits and pistachio crumbs. The combination was incredibly aromatic and satisfying! 🍖 🎢 #NewYork #CasaMono #FoodieHeaven 🌟
