Sourced each morning from growers across San Diego County.
Cooked with Fire
Wood, comal & molcajete — the old methods, done with care.
Honest & Seasonal
The menu shifts with the harvest, never the other way around.
Our Story
A mercado, transplanted to the coast
Casa Verde began with a simple homesick craving: the smell of a Oaxacan market at dawn — masa on the comal, chiles toasting, limes cut by the crate. We built our kitchen to chase that feeling.
We partner with small San Diego farms and day-boat fishermen, press our own tortillas, and grind mole the way it has always been ground. Nothing arrives frozen. Everything arrives verde — green, alive, and freshly picked.
