The Experience, Emeryville: Public Market News

The Experience:

Seafood Taquitos @ C Casa!

We walked into our fav Emeryville taqueria thinking we’d order our usual chicken tacos and to our surprise discovered new menu items at C Casa!

We couldn’t decide between the new pork belly street tacos, classic prawn cocktail and the new seafood taquitos. Went for the taquitos! They were delicious. We recommend you come hungry!

And here’s another reason to celebrate! They have Happy Hour from 2-5pm serving up Margaritas, Mexican Beers and Wine! C Casa’s menu is inspired by founder Catherine’s fresh and healthy food experiences in Baja California, which makes it all extra special and delectable.
