Casera Latin Kitchen and Bakery

The food is great! Had the bandeja Paisa, pollo saltado, and empanadas de pollo(chicken)y res(beef). Plus some pastries to go. Everything was yummy. Definitely enjoyed the food.

I found this place in Google looking for Peruvian food. I came here two days in a row since I was spending the week in the area. The first day I tried the fish plate with rice and ensalada rusa. It was amazing just like if I was back in Peru. That night I came back and I got causa de pollo and an empanada to go, it was delicious as well. I came back the following day and I ordered Aji de gallina, one of the best dishes I’ve had here! I recommend anyone to come here! The lady at the front is very patient and she is super helpful when I was trying to pick a dish!

This was an online pop-up food recommendation. We decided to try it out on a whim since it's so close to home. I'm glad we did! The service was great, they explained all the different foods and options. Prices are reasonable - the food portions were .... let's put it this way, we had to take leftovers home. Food is very flavorful with a fresh home cooked feel-no frozen or fast food vibe. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Definitely going back for more!

Counter staff was SUPER helpful. TONS of gluten free dairy free options. Tamales, arepas, lomo saltado, pernil…and coconut flan made totally gfdf.Unimaginably good. Reasonably priced. Will make a point to return.

The Colombian food was delicious, plentiful, quick, and it all came out at the same time for my large family. Everyone loved it!

I can't rave about this place enough. The owners goal was to create home cooked meals and they did that perfectly! I'm not Peruvian/Columbian so I can't speak to the authenticity of the food but my taste buds don't care what origin food comes from so it's amazing. We were supposed to leave some for my son to try and my partner (who has the most self control I've ever seen) could not stop taking "one more bite". We got the Pollo Saltado, pan de bono, pork tamal, and baked empanada (this one isnt gluten free). Every item's flavor was vastly different from the last. You can tell they don't lazily season the food with the same seasonings.The cashier was so knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination that it put a huge smile on my face to feel so safe that I wouldn't end up with food poisoning symptoms. He took the time to point out all the options they have which were pretty substantial. THERES BREAD! And not just any bread. Amazing cheesy bread that almost reminds me of a mochi donut in consistency but make it savory. He was knowledgeable to know that the fried empanada is gluten friendly but isn't gluten free due to the oil not being separated. The baked empanada isn't gluten free due to the dough used. So neither is gluten free but they are very knowledgeable as to all the terminology and cross contamination.We were so amazed by the experience that we are considering having them cater for our wedding

I’ve been going almost every day since they opened — such a unique addition to North County! Love supporting a family business. The flavors are rich and everything(and I mean EVERYTHING) is HOMEMADE. Hard to find these days.I get a pastry nearly everyday on my way to work, but their a la carte menu is so good.Definitely worth checking out - a gem of North County!
