La Casa del Sol

Sabor That Runs Three Generations Deep

Authentic Mexican cuisine made from family recipes — wood-fired tortillas, slow-braised meats, and handcrafted margaritas.

Our Approach

Cooked Like Abuela Taught Us

At La Casa del Sol, every recipe comes from our family’s kitchen in Oaxaca. Our moles simmer for eight hours. Our tortillas are pressed from nixtamalized corn and cooked on a comal. Our salsas are made fresh every morning with fire-roasted chiles.

We don’t take shortcuts because our abuela would know. She’s not here, but her standards are.

Why La Casa del Sol

What makes La Casa del Sol worth the visit.

Wood-Fired Tortillas

Nixtamalized corn, pressed to order, cooked on a live-fire comal. You can taste the difference in the first bite.

Eight-Hour Moles

Our negro, rojo, and verde moles each take eight hours. Twenty-plus ingredients. No thickeners, no shortcuts.

Handcrafted Margaritas

Fresh-squeezed lime, premium tequila, house-made syrups. No sour mix touches our bar.

Family Recipes

Three generations of Oaxacan cooking. Every dish has a story, and our servers will tell you if you ask.

What Our Guests Say

The mole negro alone is worth the trip. Eight hours of simmering and you can taste every single one of them.

My abuela would approve of these tortillas. And she didn’t approve of much.

The birria tacos are the best I’ve had outside of Jalisco. The consomé is liquid gold.
