My boyfriend and I have been to Casona many times and we really enjoy it. I thought it was a little odd when the owner asked me to review the restaurant on this site and others. Now I can see why. This is time consuming, but I am happy to do it. Happy to write about one of my favorite places in Collingswood. If I didn't like it, I would offer suggestions to the management. I would not bash the place and try to harm their reputation. There sure are some mean poeple out there.\r
The steaks are very good at Casona. The churassco is an outside skirt steak and it charbroiled. The fielt is one of the best I've ever tasted. The paella is good and big, made with the freshest seafood. I also like the Habana maduro. It's a whole ripened plantain stuffed with shredded roast pork or seasoned ground beef. The atmosphere is festive and fun - feels like you are on vacation somewhere. The whole building is beautiful - inside and out. The service is very good also. I was there for brunch today and the kitchen got a little backed up. It was worth the wait though. That happens sometimes at Casona and I asked why. I was told that it is not that they are not prepared. Thirty custom ordered brunch entrees firing at once can easily create delays. That is what I thought. If we were in a rush, we could have gotten out of there faster, I'm sure. Reagardless, I experienced major delays at other restaurants that were not busy. Go figure. At least they are honest (Casona.)
Pros: Feels like a vacation somewhere in the Caribbean, good quality food and friendly service
Cons: Minor delays sometimes with getting your food,
