Kasa Tapas has been open in downtown Orlando for a few years now. The theme is menu comprised of
diverse small plates(tapas) with global influences

Menu
We started our meal with a duo of cocktails, one was called "The Gin Joint"

Kasa has a tapas themed menu and recommends 2-3 orders per person. Our first item was the Pork Belly Poutine a Canadian tradition with a gourmet twist. It was rich and filling.

Pork Belly Poutine - Fingerling potatoes, chorizo gravy, Wisconsin Wisconsin cheese curds, queso fresco, 63 degree egg
Next up was a sous vide Pompano this was a nice counterpart to the poutine. Edges were crispy, flavor was mild but good.The acidity of the blistered tomatoes balanced the sauce.
Seared Pompano from togarashi-spiced baby bok choy, baby heirloom tomatoes, lemon caper, beurre blanc.
The third dish was Yucca with a gouda cheddar and truffle fondue. Often I find that truffle flavor can overpower a dish but that was not the case with this one. One minor complaint the yucca still had the spine, a center piece that runs down the middle of the yucca root, had to extract that from some of the pieces.

Sangria
Our final dish was a special sushi roll creation the Chef made for us. It's not on the menu but they are considering adding it. It was creative and unique. I really enjoyed the sauce as well.

Chef's special creation Sushi - tuna with goat cheese and avocado, panko breaded flounder topped with slivered almonds, green onions and red peppers over avocado chive sauce.
Overall I think Kasa offers some really unique and creative tapas and dishes at a fair price.
Their space is expansive and clean.
We'll be back.
They have a variety of drink specials for happy hour and certain days, check their social media for the latest details.
