Well, I’m not going to lie I was a bit let down with my experience here. Coming from the East Coast my family and I adore Colombian food, so when my brother mentioned he found a spot nearby we all were so excited to try. We came by on Labor Day and it wasn’t too busy whe. We first arrived, which we were happy about. To start off we were all VERY happy about the empanadas, user crispy, great balance to meat and potato on the inside. The buñuelos could have been better, they were hot but it didn’t give freshly made..more like reheated.
I ordered a coffee in the beginning to have as a pick me up before my food and didn’t get it til right before we all left. Now when it comes to the main meal I ordered the bandeja paisa and so did most of us. My mom first thing noticed it didnt have the the small arepa, which none of our plates had it. My food was missing the avocado and the fried egg..I had to request it.
None of the finished plates were cleared throughout our time there and it seemed like it was only 2 people working because the same guy taking our order was the same guy bringing our food and assisting everyone else who came in. Seems to me a few things could be worked on.
I plan on returning because the inside was super cute and just hoping to have a better experience next time around.

We came 7ish so the original dish I ordered was out of stock. This actually makes me feel good knowing the food is made fresh each day. I got the Verde freshly made juice(refreshing and yummy) and a Peruvian dish;Seco de Carne. My husband paired his Peruvian Tallarin Verde w/Breaded chicken and a Colombian beer. The Colombian beef empanada was delish. We grabbed caramel Flan and dulce de leche (caramel in a flakey cone) to go. I cannot wait to go back to try another dish. The service was great and the person who served us at the counter was helpful and smiled the whole time! Great choice by my spouse! P.s. we have had Peruvian food here on coast highway and Colombian food in Atlanta. I was not expecting much on the flavor side with my past experience…this was a welcomed surprise!

My shredded beef arepas had no flavor and my husband’s was so good but a bit salty. The french fries and bread balanced out the saltiness.

Amazing pastry options here: pan de bonos, alfajores, cookies and various Latin American treats.
The stuffed arepa (kind of like a delicious Colombian taco) was amazing! 5/5
The lomo saltado was ok. It’s better at Al Toque.
We will be back for more pastries and arepas!

You hungry and in Oceanside and can’t decide between Colombian or Peruvian food? You don’t have to, casera has the best of both. Great fresh ingredients, well seasoned food, excellent customer service and friendly/welcoming smile…oh and their bread/pastries are ridiculously good. 100% recommended

Such great flavors and everything I was looking for. Traditional dishes and good quick bites too. If you don’t know Colombian or Peruvian food this is the best place by the beach to have it. Thank you!

Great service. Lots of drink options I hadn’t seen before. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa and my goodness it was a great option. I also tried the Agua Panela and Columbiana soda, both of which coupled great eith my meal. Top 10 favorite in Oceanside for me.

I found this place in Google looking for Peruvian food. I came here two days in a row since I was spending the week in the area. The first day I tried the fish plate with rice and ensalada rusa. It was amazing just like if I was back in Peru. That night I came back and I got causa de pollo and an empanada to go, it was delicious as well. I came back the following day and I ordered Aji de gallina, one of the best dishes I’ve had here! I recommend anyone to come here! The lady at the front is very patient and she is super helpful when I was trying to pick a dish!
