Humble Beginnings
Casa Verde initially started off as a small canteen for the residents of a dormitory located on the second floor of the building of the restaurant close to Ramos Street. The same canteen also catered to students studying in nearby colleges and universities. In fact the location of the first outlet was the ancestral home of the owners of the establishment. But, the good food offered at the restaurant was too much to resist that people started to flock to the place and it eventually became one of the most popular dining places in the Queen City of the South.
