Hearing about all the hype we had to try Casona. Six of us went there last night. We sat on the grand wrap around porch. Let me tell you, speaking on behalf of my friends, we were all impressed from the time we approached this beautiful restaurant to the time we left. By the way we closed the place because we felt as if we were on vacation in the Carribean and did not want the experience to come to an end. We ordered some appetizers for the table, which consisted of Habana Muduros, Nacho Style Mariquitas and Yucca Frita. Let me tell you we were having a party in our mouth. The flavors were delightful. Some of the entrees we ordered were the Arroz con Pollo, Paella, Grilled Tuna Steak and Churrasco Steak. As I tasted each, the flavors got better and better. We were approached by Mr. Grillo, who we were very anxious to meet, because as per the quote from Philadelphia magazine he indeed is the true ?Latin King?. Mr. Grillo asked how we were all doing and asked us about each dish. We could say enough about our experience. He actually brought the executive Chef to our table so we could meet him. The staff was attentive to our every need. The glasses were all sparking clean and there were no foreign objects floating in our water. I seem to think all of this hype on city search is really good for Casona because for a holiday weekend this place was rock-in. I have to go now I do not want to miss the award winning brunch today.
Pros: Party in my mouth
Cons: do not eat there if your estrogen levels are thru the roof
