Cohn Restaurant Group\u2019s Tacos Libertad in Hillcrest is donating 100 percent of its September proceeds to benefit victims of Hurricane Harvey via the San Diego-based International Relief Teams organization. The monies are earmarked for helping families recover from the late-August disaster that ravished large areas of Texas. The not-for-profit eatery has donated $9,000 to three other charities since opening in May: the San Diego Food Bank, the Rob Benzon Foundation, and Meals on Wheels. 1023 University Ave., 619-481-5035, cohnrestaurants.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on the hunt for house-made Mexican cakes, sweet bread, and other traditional south-of-the-border baked goods, you\u2019ll find them at the new Casa Mexico Restaurant & Bakery in Lincoln Park\u2019s Market Creek Plaza.<\/p>\n

The colorful eatery opened in early September and is run by a small group of family and friends who also own Wings Empire, a local chain specializing in ribs and chicken wings.<\/p>\n

At their newest venture, the focus is on Mexican savories and sweets, a reflection of Casa\u2019s slogan: \u201cThe keeper of heritage, tradition and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vibrant full-service restaurant greets with flower-studded walls, a display case stocked with desserts, and an enlarged photograph of renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. 342 Euclid Ave., 619-795-1677<\/em>.<\/p>\n
