Review of Su Casa Restaurant Café

Su Casa Café is a fairly new restaurant in Orleans that is located at 2564 St-Joseph Blvd. Since I am a big fan of both Mexican and Spanish cuisine, I was delighted to see this place so close to home.

The restaurant is a Spanish tapas place in the evenings, and serves Canadian breakfast in the mornings.

I went there with my family a few weeks ago and so naturally, I enthusiastically suggested this new little local place.

The look of the restaurant is fine, nothing fancy though. Yellow walls with a few accent Mexican decor pieces. The staff was friendly, but disorganized.

I will not be returning to this tapas place. The menu was very limited, even for a Tapas place. The selections were also similar in nature, so variety was lacking.

We managed to pick out a few things and had a pitcher of Sangria. The Sangria was made with very cheap red wine and didn’t taste like much else was in it. It had apple pieces in it too, which we thought was odd. The pitcher was small and not very good at all.

When we saw our dishes arrive we were so very unimpressed. Tapas portions are small; yes. These portions were so very minuscule, especially the artichoke dish. On top of that, the artichokes were clearly from a can, and the sauce was certainly just a jar of regular mayonnaise with some spice thrown on top. The descriptions of the food sounded delicious, but the delivery was the complete opposite. It was very very bad. We also had 2 chorizo platters, which were pretty much the same, but with minor differences. I felt like I was eating leftover scraps that would best be served to the dogs.

Nothing felt like authentic cuisine, and none of it was fresh. We ordered 5 dishes at the start, and wished we’d only ordered one. When the 5 dishes were done we left that dump and went for some Fritomania Poutine next door.

Do not venture into this place, it isn’t good at all.
