Always loved visiting Casa Amigos when home. The staff there are pretty exceptional. Remembered my last visit and the guests I was with from opening night, January 2024! Food is incredible. I’m celiac and they had me covered. The highlight was a staff juggling performance… well, the staff did the juggling, they weren’t juggled.
