Ron Smith and David Berg popped into the world-famous mecca of margaritas and freshly made tortillas right here on LA’s Westside: Casablanca Restaurant. Watch their chat with Robert Lopez, grandson of Carlos Haro, Sr. — aka the late patriarch behind the long-running Mexican joint, and learn why Casablanca is a mainstay in Venice, earning the support of loyal customers and celebs for more than 40 years now.

Press play and discover what the Casablanca hype is all about.
