Casa Azul, offering traditional Mexican cuisine, opened this week on Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Harlem. The restaurant features dishes from various regions of Mexico, including tacos, mole, and tamales. The space is modest, with simple decor and a casual atmosphere. The owners aim to serve authentic flavors with an emphasis on handmade tortillas and fresh ingredients. Casa Azul fills a gap in the neighborhood for Mexican dining options, where few such establishments currently operate.
