If you have been around Morgantown long enough to remember La Casa on Pleasant Street, then you've most likely had the experience of abandoning the standard ground beef burrito at various taco stands, to La Casa's "shredded" beef burrito!

It was that very simple, yet unique concept, that made me a La Casa fan years ago. Now after standing firm essentially initiating the renaissance of the Wharf District, La Casa represents a unique flavor to Morgantown dining and culture.

Standing next to the Rail-Trail, this Mexican eatery will soon be surrounded by new activity in the heart of the Wharf District. The restaurant features an authenticity, to include the building in which it resides. Built in 1904 by local resident Russ Kincaid's great-grandfather John C. Kincaid, La Casa's long time tradition thrives in this historical building once home to Mr. Kincaid's Feed and Grain Company.

Although my "usual" is the classic shredded beef burrito, La Casa features an excellent variety of authentic Mexican food along with your favorite legal beverages. Service is always attentive and well beyond satisfactory. When the weather is good, La Casa also features a large deck in which diners can take in the scenery to include the Monongahela River and the Rail Trail.

While living in California, my dentist asked me where I was from, and when I said Morgantown, West Virginia, he replied, "ever been to La Casa?" Of course I later learned that he was a friend of La Casa's owner, Kendall Amick, but it just reminded me of one of the things I was missing about Morgantown! La Casa is an excellent restaurant.
