New Deli in Highwood from the folks at La Casa de Isaac

stevez wrote:The difference between the dishes served at the new market and the existing restaurant is really rather striking. At the market, it looks like they're serving some really authentic, homey dishes that have not been "adjusted" for the tastes of The North Shore as they are in the restaurant. I might even secretly be hoping that their deli dream never materializes and the home style Mexican food continues to be served. I'm really looking forward to my first visit!

True 'dat, Steve. Fact is, Isaac told me that they simply couldn't serve this food in the restaurant because those customers don't want big bones on the plate or beans that aren't pureed into a paste. Otoh, they've geared this food toward working people. These guys have a noticeable passion for producing these dishes. What I hope is that this new place does so well that Isaac and Moishe have no choice but to open their deli in a third location.
