OUR EXPERIENCES
Casa Borrega is a destination on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard in New Orleans, offering traditional Mexican cuisine, fine agave spirits, live Latin music, and special events. From the kitchen come delicacies that demonstrate why Mexico's cuisine is part of UNESCO's "Intangible Cultural Heritage" list. The menu is composed of dishes found on street corners, fondas, and mercados in Mexico City and Central Mexico. The bar features more than 150 tequilas and mezcals and the best margaritas in the city.

ABOUT US
Casa Borrega is housed in an 1891 Greek Revival. It was gutted and rebuilt using many existing features while adding salvaged architectural elements from New Orleans, Texas and Mexico, resulting in a fascinating, rustic interior and courtyard full of the owners' art and artifacts. Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard, named after a local Civil Rights activist, is a historic street in a primarily African American neighborhood, located between downtown, the Garden District, and Uptown New Orleans. Lined with bike paths and trees, it is home to numerous nonprofit and cultural organizations. Owners and staff are proud to be part of Boulevard’s rebirth.

OUR IMPACT
Casa Borrega is a Benefit Corporation valuing environment, social responsibility, music and culture, and urban and historical revitalization. It is certified green and socially responsible by LifeCity.
