We celebrated a birthday at Casa Chino, and it was a fantastic experience! The restaurant has a stunning vibe—warm and inviting. The octopus skewers are a must—hands down the best in the city! The pork belly was also amazing. We tried over seven cocktails, and each one was a winner—refreshing and perfectly crafted. A great spot for delicious food and drinks!
