　One of her top recommendations is the Crispy Fish Taco. This delightful dish is a testament to the vibrant flavors and culinary traditions of Mexican cuisine. Alenna suggests trying it more authentically: fold it, tilt your head back at a 45-degree angle, and savor it in three bites.

　"Mi Casita" is more than just a restaurant; it is a heartfelt tribute to Alenna Yayoi's cultural heritage. Come and enjoy a unique and authentic taste of Mexico. Alenna hopes everyone can experience a piece of her home and the warmth of her grandmother's kitchen.
