| Half a block and a mile of pretentiousness away from Newbury Street, Casa Romero emanates the aura of a supper club in Mexico City. Talavera tiles and potted flowers make for a room that is at once exuberant and elegant; seats in the shady courtyard are a summertime treat. For more than 30 years, chef-owner Leo Romero has overseen a small and focused menu of Mexican specialties that is a far cry from the cookie-cutter fare being reheated elsewhere. Salads are across-the-board winners. Just witness the sweet-sour crunch of chayote, jicama and orange, fleshy, elusive-flavored cactus sliced with tomato, or the daily ceviche. Light, fresh seafood dishes fare well here, as well. At times, we crave a jalapeño or two in place of the milder chilies the chef favors, but the atmosphere is so pleasant---and the wines so reasonable---we soon relax and go with the flow. |
