R.I.P. Casa DTLA

Image courtesy of YelpUnfortunately, I hadn't had a chance to review Casa DTLA yet when I found out that the delicious upscale Mexican restaurant had been shut down for renovations and a change of concept. Casa had recently become a favorite of my brother, his friends and I for their killer happy hour deals, creative drink selections, views of the city's tallest buildings and most importantly, the vegan soyrizo potato tacos. The silver lining is that the new restaurant to take its place, which will be named Blue Cow, is the latest offering from the people behind Mendocino Farms. Blue Cow has been touted by the owners as a "think tank" for new, unique sandwiches, and since MF offers some vegan fare, we can only hope Blue Cow will also.
