First Look: Casa Brasa

Casa Brasa — the new restaurant from award-winning chef Omar Flores and the Marshi family’s Big Dill Hospitality — is one of those rare spots that feels alive from the moment you walk in. Set in Preston Center at 8111 Preston Road, it’s a vibrant collision of Latin fire, Mexican warmth, and a whisper of Japanese precision. The open-flame grill sets the stage for a menu that celebrates smoke and spice, while the raw bar and sushi counter bring brightness and balance. Add in a speakeasy just out of sight, glowing softly long after dinner service, and you’ve got a place that’s both sophisticated and full of soul.

An Evening With Chef Omar Flores at the Urbano Cafe Pop-Up

omarby Steven Doyle

There are so many pop-ups these days that it can be dizzying keeping track, but these are the special dinners that often wine special, chef high and happy occasions that makes them so very unique and inviting.
