La Casita Azul
Hamburg, Germany
The read// why locals go
On Spritzenplatz in Ottensen, La Casita Azul cooks Mexican food the way a family kitchen does: tacos first, no shortcuts. The dining room is small and the kitchen keeps its focus narrow, which is why the tacos and the house drinks get the attention they do. Three to five independent Hamburg food blogs point people here rather than to the bigger Mexican addresses downtown, and vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free eaters all find real dishes rather than an afterthought. Mains land around 16 euro, so a full meal stays within neighbourhood price range. Takeaway is possible, but the point is a table, a plate of tacos and the room's easy hospitality.
