The Mexicali Crabcoat 

The epitome of fresh, the jumbo crab was light and airy as a dream, each bite enriched by the fresh avocado topped with crispy shrimp. The refreshing sweetness of the crab made each bite decadent without being heavy, making for the perfect starter. The contrast of the buttery crab, crisp shrimp coating, and smooth guacamole finish makes this a creative and savory coastal concoction.

Paired with a drizzle of tangy chipotle mayo and a bold habanero sauce, this dish takes your taste buds on a ride, experiencing dynamic and vastly different textures and flavors in one bite. A feast to both the eyes and the tongue, the octopus was a true delicacy plated with flavor and finesse.

Grilled Ribeye Perfection

Casa Matilda’s steak is everything a tasty steak should be: tender, juicy, and full of satiating splendor from the first cut to the last chew.

Together, it’s a classic steakhouse trio with a twist, reimagined through the lens of Casa Matilda’s bold, authentic approach to flavor.
