Hello
friends,
my
wife
and
I
were
looking
for
a
good
Puerto
Rican
restaurant
with
criollisimo
food.
What
I
mean
is
a
very
flavored
and
spiced
up
food
which
Tampa
Bay
lacks.
May
be
one
day
I
will
find
it.
So
we
found
LaCasona
Restaurant,
we
did
some
research
and
based
on
the
ratings
of
4.2
and
the
5
most
recent
we
decided
to
come
up
this
way
which
is
a
30min
drive
for
since
we
are
in
Clearwater.
When
we
got
here
the
establishment
is
located
on
a
very
busy
intersection.
There
is
parking,
although
it
doesn’t
look
safe
the
security
cameras
make
up
for
the
insecurity,
so
that
a
plus.
Once
inside
I
was
greeted
but
my
wife
was
not.
We
were
seated
immediately
and
the
waitress
who
failed
to
give
us
her
name
took
our
order.
The
menus
were
nice,
sort
of
like
high
end
menus.
I
looked
about
the
establishment
and
it
was
clean,
well
maintained
and
good
music.
No
cokes
which
is
a
huge
disappointment
as
coke
is
way
better
than
Pepsi.
So
we
order
two
Cola
Champagne.
We
started
with
appetizers
Alcapurrias,
and
Surullitos
de
Maiz,
and
sweet
plantains
which
we
wanted
before
the
meals
but
we
got
it
with
our
meal,
so
we
waited
a
very
long
time
before
we
got
everything.
No
complimentary
chips
or
anything?
That’s
a
negative
in
my
review.
We
ordered
white
rice
with
beans,
and
my
wife
added
fried
Pork
Chops,
which
the
meat
was
over
cooked
and
extremely
oily,
another
negative.
Our
Alcapurrias
were
very
tiny
and
extremely
thing
and
over
cooked
with
hardly
any
beef
inside
including
very
dry
yet
oily.
The
Surullitos
de
maiz
we
good!
The
food
is
over
priced
for
the
type
of
quality
including
the
service
we
got.
I
give
this
place
3
stars!
Would
I
come
back
here?
No,
it’s
not
worth
it.
I
see
this
establishment
has
been
around
since
2005,
but
over
time
businesses
get
over
confident
and
instead
of
continually
improving
it
becomes
stalemate,
cutting
corners
to
save
a
few
dollars
here
and
there
and
in
the
end
quality
of
service
begins
to
hurt!
So
what
did
we
pay?
Rounding
up
to
a
total
of
$75
with
tip
and
tax
included.
I
have
added
pictures
and
videos
for
everyone
to
see,
enjoy.
