During Hispanic Heritage Month Sept. 15-Oct. 15, family-owned, James Beard-awarded Casa Vega is giving a portion of proceeds back to No Us Without You. The non-profit charity seeks to provide food security to undocumented back-of-house staff and their families. The restaurant is partnering up with former Los Angeles Dodger and Mexican American MLB star Adrián ‘el Titan’ González on a limited run of Michelada. The “El Titan” is a dark style Michelada made without tomato juice. There is a splash of Tapatío hot sauce, salsa Negra, Worcestershire, Maggi seasoning sauce, lime juice and pour of Calidad cerveza for $10.50. Enjoy this specialty beverage both in-house and to go throughout Hispanic Heritage Month. Menu items include chicharrons con guacamole and chicken mole tacos with a side of elote, available in house and to go. Other events include the family fun Mexican Independence Day fiesta on Sept. 16 with chiclets gum, sombreros, flower crowns a la Frida Kahlo and live mariachi from Mariachi Zapopan. Bottles of the famous house margaritas are available to go with the purchase of food and flavors include the Classic CV Margarita, a Rafael Vega’s classic and award-winning recipe for $13.50. They also make a Guava Margarita with JAJA Blanco, guava nectar, fresh lime juice, agave and mint for $14.95.
