Casa in Downtown LA

The world of corporate LA on Bunker Hill is alive and well at Casa, 350 South Grand Ave LA CA 90017. It's design is a kind of funky Brazil utopian aesthetics with pod like dining areas, some hidden and some not so hidden. Some of the table seating is high off the ground, in case of a 100 year flood. We went for lunch. There's a line in the front door because they take your order at the door and what seems like a restaurant is actually a buffet zone not unlike Chipotle. It was touted that the tortillas are handmade but my tortillas had a plastic-like texture to them. How do you do that? It can't be easy. The guacamole was very good and the steak in my taco was pretty cool. It's a specific scene that might lend itself more to happy hour, which of course, they have.
