TU CASA

2. • When we have people around or host a party at our office, we love to serve
empanadas: beef, chicken and cheese. But when our guests ask if we slaved
over a stove or ordered them we have to be honest. Our empanadas come
from Tu Casa at 30-10 Steinway Street, just around the corner from 30th Ave.
• Recently we spoke to Rodolfo, Tu Casa’s manager. He has worked in the
restaurant business in New York City for over 20 years.
• “We are unique,” Rodolfo says. “We are the only Latino restaurant around this
area. And not only Latino – but quality. The majority of people in the
neighborhood are European – and the majority of the restaurants are French
and Greek.”

3. • Rodolfo continues, “So I like to invite people who haven’t been here – to
introduce them to what good Latino food is all about.”
• While Tu Casa’s owner us of Dominican and Honduran descent, the chef
happens to be Peruvian – and three quarters of the menu is Peruvian.
• When asked which menu item is the most popular, Rodolfo says “Lomo
saltado and also pollo saltado”
• The restaurant is busiest on Friday and Saturday nights, though they are
open at lunchtime and have regulars who come every day. During the work
week, Tu Casa also has a happy hour in the evening.
