La Casita Returns to the Warehouse District With Taco and Margarita Happy Hours

SWITCHEROOS — El Patio in the Warehouse District is now called La Casita on the Patio. After the original La Casita in the Warehouse District closed, the owner opened a similar restaurant, El Patio, in the same neighborhood. It had a different address and a more “ambitious” Mexican menu. According to a report by Todd Price, customers really just wanted the old La Casita back — and so it is. [NOLA.COM]
