Casa Perico Mexican Grille features 'Old World' Mexican dishes

Owner Mike Porter has loved Mexican food for as long as he can remember. When the time was right he took his love of the cuisine and opened his very own establishment.

"I will always guarantee this food will be the same every time you come," said Porter, pointing out the importance of consistency in the quality of the food he serves and its taste.

He takes special pride in the restaurant's multiside options. "There's a whole lot more [to Mexican food] than rice and beans," he explains.

Further expounding on the subject, Porter said, the restaurant offers sides that include grilled vegetables, papas rancheros, borracho beans, better known as "drunk" beans because of the addition of beer, Mexican corn, as well as many other steamed side-item choices.

From the sizzling beef fajitas served in the signature authentic fajitas sauce with grilled onions and bell pepper coupled with all the trimmings to a Casa Perico favorite, Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo, gulf shrimp pan-grilled in a garlic sauce derived from a time-honored Mexican recipe.
