I deliver furniture and just came from Collingswood, where I had lunch. My co-worker and I decided to try Casona for lunch. When we got there I recognized the owner from Tierra Colombiana and Mixto. He recognized me as well and was happy to see me again. We were greeted, sat, and served by him. We split an appetizer sampler then I had the Cuban sandwich which was great and my buddy had the ropa vieja. He liked his to. We also had tropical sodas. Service was fast and attentive, even though they were busy and the phone was ringing like mad. I'm glad I finally got to go and am looking forward to dinner there with my girlfriend. Once we were about to leave, the owner asked us again how everything was and we told him. He then asked us to go to this site and others and give the place an ""honest and constructive"" review. His suggestion. I normally would until after a few visits to do such a thing, but after reading the trash that's been written, I felt compelled to do it now. I wonder what the real reasons are for these people trying to hurt Casona and it's management. If anyone is abusive and nasty to them, what do you expect? Collingswood is a good community and it's the kind of place I want to live someday. When I get out school and can afford it that is. It's disgusting to see a good place like Casona be bashed by it's own residents. If a place that supports the town is having issues, some of you would wish them to fail. Wow, that's objective. This review is real and I'm sure there will be many others, good and bad. This bashing has brought even more attention to Casona. The place may have it's issues, but it has many loyal supporters.Congrats!!!
Pros: Great Cuban sandwich and platters, great outdoor seating on the porch
Cons: Sensative management, small lunch menu
