Nestled in the heart of Carlsbad, California, Casa de Bandini is more than just a restaurant - it's a journey through time. The ambiance, the food, the spirits, all come together to create an experience that is deeply rooted in history and tradition. Paired with Cantera Negra tequila, the experience becomes even richer, a celebration of heritage and quality.

Casa de Bandini was originally opened in 1980 by Diane Powers in the Old Town State Historic Park in San Diego. It was situated in the historic home of Don Juan Bandini, built in 1829, a magnificent specimen of California architecture. But, after years of serving up delicious Mexican cuisine in this historic location, the restaurant sprung back to life, 25 miles north in Carlsbad's Forum shopping center.

The new Casa de Bandini in Carlsbad continues to carry the spirit of its Old Town predecessor. Diane Powers, the restaurateur behind this venture, has ensured that the fun and flair of the original location are well-preserved in this new setting. From its architecture to its menu, every detail at Casa de Bandini is a testament to its rich past.

Complementing the historical significance of Casa de Bandini is Cantera Negra tequila, a brand with its own rich heritage. Just like Casa de Bandini, Cantera Negra prides itself on its roots and the quality of its product. Together, they provide an experience that is both authentic and enjoyable.
