Click here to buy discounted gift cards from La Casa Mexicana BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – It's almost Cinco De Mayo, so to celebrate, why not head out to a fabulous local Mexican restaurant with all of the familiarity you love, along with authentic food you won't find anywhere else? La Casa Mexicana on the corner of 224 and Market Street in Boardman is exactly that. All the staples of a Mexican restaurant, such as fajitas, chimichangas, and enchiladas, along with original Mexican street food. 'We want to start talking about our tamales trio. A lot of people know the regular pork family. I think that's the one that's more popular. When we were opening, we wanted to add some of the street food,' said co-owner Maria Hernandez. 'We have the pork family with the red sauce. This one is very simple so if you're vegetarian, you have an option. And my favorite, the chicken tamale. It has the green sauce and shredded chicken inside.' You'll also find some deliciously different tacos on the menu. 'Normally, you find these in the streets of Mexico, anywhere you go,' said Hernandez. 'We have a steak, which is the most traditional. Carnitas, which is pork we marinate with a smoky adobo sauce and some pineapple chunks, and chorizo, which is made here. And some grilled chicken, some hot sauce, and some limes. There's also a Ceviche dish, unlike anything else. 'It is shrimp and we add some pico de gallo, lime, and you can add on some hot sauce, perfect for snacking or you can eat it as a full meal,' said Hernandez. 'We are from the state of Michoacan. It has the best carnitas in Mexico. Carnitas, which is pulled pork, is deep-fried for a few hours. We cook it with some spices, secret spices.' Of course, you'll never be without authentic and homemade chips and salsa, guacamole, and La Casa Mexicana's very own queso. There's also a menu of delectable desserts to choose from. 'We have flan, also known as the impossible cake. It is a layer flan and then the chocolate cake,' said Hernandez. 'When they're making the flan, is quite interesting because they pour both of the mixes and then they bake it.' There's also a full bar to choose from with many original creations. You can enjoy amazing nonalcoholic street drinks like a hibiscus iced tea and Horchata, or rice water, and of course tequila fresh margaritas. 'We have our margarita flight. It is very nice because you can sample a few of the flavors. We have a Mangonada, which is a spicy mango margarita. Strawberry, blueberry and a peach,' said Hernandez. 'We do have other flavors for the summer, such as watermelon. They're more like tropical drinks. Perfect for the hot weather.' And speaking of the hot weather, the patio at La Casa Mexicana is officially open. Better yet, it's covered, so even if it starts raining on those hot summer days, you can still be outside and enjoying the weather. You can also book an event or party at La Casa Mexicana. 'Our banquet room seats from 25 to 100 people. You can have any event you from a birthday party, wedding rehearsal, bridal shower, baby shower, or graduation party. Anything you want,' said Hernandez. 'We take care of all the set up and clean up, and then we do it buffet style. So, you get to choose from the items that we have. Our most popular buffet style is the taco bar. We have taco bar, fajita bars, but we also have all the meats.' Everything you can get inside the restaurant can also be a part of your banquet and your buffet. La Casa Mexicana also does pickup and delivery catering.

It's the first day of spring! Get free ice cream at Dairy Queen, more deals in Texas
Spring has officially sprung! After an unusually cold winter, we're celebrating spring a bit more this year — along with a handful of restaurants. Here's what to know about the spring equinox and how to get free ice cream, discounted drinks and more in Texas. This year, the first day of astronomical spring (also called the spring equinox) is Thursday, March 20, 2025. There are two equinoxes and two solstices each year. Equinoxes occur during the fall and spring and are called the autumnal and vernal equinoxes. They mark the first day of spring and the first day of fall each year. Solstices occur during the winter and summer and mark the shortest and longest days of the year, respectively. The summer solstice is considered the first day of summer and the winter solstice is considered the first day of winter. Equinoxes are the only two times of the year when the earth's axis isn't tilted toward or away from the sun, which results in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). "At the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on these two equinoxes," NWS says. 'The 'nearly' equal hours of day and night are due to refraction of sunlight or a bending of the light's rays that causes the sun to appear above the horizon when the actual position of the sun is below the horizon."
