Diane Powers’ Casa de Bandini Mexican Restaurant in The Forum Carlsbad recently released its 2023 Spring Seasonal Specials menu, which highlights fresh takes on Mexican classics, seasonal dishes and vegetarian and vegan-friendly offerings.

Fÿsh Tacos Sabrosas
Casa de Bandini partnered with local San Diego company SeaCo.

SeaCo. Catch’s Fÿsh is a plant-based fish alternative to reduce animal consumption ($16.95).

Veggy Ceviche
A vegan twist on Casa de Bandini’s famous Ceviche, the Veggy Ceviche is made with marinated cauliflower florets combined with cilantro, onion, cucumbers and a hint of serrano chile to mimic the fresh, savory flavors of traditional fish ceviche ($12.95).

Chicken A Diabla
Grilled chicken topped with a delicately balanced spicy diablo sauce and served with sides of Mexican rice, refried beans and sour cream ($17.50).

Flautas de Papas Especiales
