PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Relaxed elegance and terrific food at reasonable prices are what you get at Su Casa. Owners Shelly and Angel Herrera created this pleasant, breezy, open-air restaurant on the patio of their hillside home overlooking the city ("Angel and Shelly's" -- previously called La Margarita -- is the indoor restaurant below Su Casa that's open during the rainy season). Both Shelly and Angel are experts in the kitchen and are on hand nightly to greet guests on the patio. The menu changes often. Some items are standard, such as shrimp a la patrona in herbs and spices, grilled fish, steak, and chicken. The pasta el padrino, with fresh shrimp and creme chipotle, is a delicious new addition to the menu. Many entrees come with garnishes of cooked banana or pineapple. The margaritas are big and delicious. The banana split or any of the flambées make desert hard to resist.
