Essentials
Great grocery store and a landmark of the community. Always responsive to the needs of the neighborhood, La Casa was the first to import products from Mexico. The deli is amazing (house-made chorizo, yes!) snd they have a great assortment of “hipster” items too - great coffee, chia seeds, gourmet kettle chips. What else do you need in a grocery store?
