La Casona Restaurant

The food and service were great the location and atmosphere lacked the Latino vibe but in contrast it gives you the authentic Spanish food without the loudness and hustle of bigger restaurants. It’s one of those hidden gems that looks like it’s closed before you see cars in the parking lot.

Wepa! Great melow atmosphere. The dishes were fabulous Lots of flavor and a great presentation, too! Authentic fresh Puerto Rican cuisine . The service was attentive and friendly. I'm so glad we found this hidden gem

We had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious. We live further south, and we haven't been able to get authentic Puerto Rican food. La Casona is the place to come for great food and service Our server was so kind and helpful. Thank you to everyone there.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and I can't say enough about it!!! If I could give 100 stars, I would!!! I can't believe that I've never been here before?! We were greeted the minute we walked in. Very friendly! It's a pretty small, quaint restaurant. Perfect place for date night. We ordered Alcapurrias for starters...amazing! Came to the table piping hot. I asked for some hot sauce to eat them with. Our server brought me some of the best hot sauce I have ever eaten in my life!! It was so good that I bought a bottle of it when I left! For my entree, I ordered Mofongo w/Shrimp and garlic sauce. O..M..G!! I was in heaven! I have had Mofungo in many restaurants, even in Puerto Rico that was not this good!!! A gentleman walked out of the kitchen and we asked him if he was the chef, he said no. I'm the guy that cracks the whip.... Great sense of humor! We told him how delicious our meals were, and he said that everything is made to order. Nothing sits around. He was very humbled by our compliments. For dessert we ordered the Budin (bread pudding). WOW OH WOW!!! So authentic! My friend said it tasted like her mom made! A nice touch that our server brought it out with a candle on it because we were celebrating my birthday. My friend and her husband frequently dine here. I've known my friend for 10 years and I'm kind of feeling a little upset that she hasn't told me about this place until now. I told her you can't keep a diamond like this hidden from me!!!! I can't wait to come back and try something new! It's going to be very hard not to order the Mofongo con Camarones Al Ajillo again!! I'M OBSESSED!!!!!! ME ENCANTA!! I am very honest when I write my reviews on restaurants, so I will absolutely update this review once I have tried other dishes but I know that they're probably going to be just as delicious!!

The meat empanadas, were perfectly cooked. The mofongo had pieces of chicharon, and the chicken was very tender. I forgot to add, the tembleque was to die for! My friend had the beefsteak mofongo and the flancocho as a dessert. We really enjoyed my birthday celebration. The passion fruit juice was natural! Service was excellent!

Great food, service, and atmosphere! Had a really good seafood dish, the rice was cooked perfectly, the beans, and tostones were fantastic! Took my father-in-law here for him to try Puerto Rican food for the first time and he instantly became a fan!

This place takes the Gold Medal!!! Where to begin, the atmosphere and ambiance is just so lovely, you feel like home. The service was impeccable, headed by Juan, an amazing gentleman who will greet you with a smile and chat with you, like you have known him your entire life. Our server Sarody, talk about excellence, she took care of us like we were family, she was friendly, knowleadgeable, just outstanding. The food, Oh My God, the food. Me and my wife both agreed, we can’t remember when was the last time we had Latin food this superb. We are Puertorrican, we have been eating this genre of food our entire lifes in thousands of restaurants but this one is on a category all by itself. The freshness of the ingredients is on point, the variety is extensive, the flavors are flawless and the prices are just perfect!! I could go on and on but honestly no amount of words could do this restaurant justice. Its just an experience you want to have over and over again. We can wait to visit Tampa again so we can rush to them and have another magnificent heavenly meal. Menu item suggestion: Pollo a la Casona!! HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! ...and thats the Truth!!!

The food was on the spot, fresh, and hot. Atmosphere was warm & very friendly. First time visit and we really enjoyed it.
