La Casona

Reviewed By Allan L

My family just returned from a dinner at La Casona in Boquete, Panama. We have now been here about three or four times in the past five years and my wife keeps reminding me of why we rarely go here. For me, I keep forgetting my experience after a year or so and I return. We had the Fajitas tonight. While waiting for our food we were given a large pitcher of water but it was left on the table, and not poured into glasses for us. We had time to look around and all we saw was the big picture on the wall cocked at about a 15 degree angle, below which the red paint had long ago been peeled off by chair tops hitting it (this was apparent on all walls)..... The food came out, and it was tastless, for both of us and we experience things like this differently normally. The tortillas provided must have been cut down from the regular small tortillas sold in the stores as they were about 6 inches round and after five of them filled, half the food was still left over with nothing to put it into (not that we wanted to as we left the rest and for the first time since I can remember, we didn't ask to have it packed to go!).The little bowl of tortilla chops provided were thin and greasy..... and the sauce, so-so.While the service was polite and correct, the waitress spent her time talking in the kitchen and every minute or so the kitchen door would pop open, causing us to look there to see what the motion was, just in time to see the door close again as she was trying to see what if anything we needed. Of course, a properly trained staff should wait in the dining room, and be quietly attentive to our needs and not every minute for half an hour keep distracting us by opening and closing a door. Now at home 40 minutes later, we both feel a little ill to our stomachs as the food was overly greasy...... and this time, I was motivated enough to do a review of this place to help me remember to not go here anymore. I have never seen this place with more than one or two tables of customers, and now I know why...... maybe a new owner and a fresh menu and chef and makeover would make this place come to life but for now, I give it a generous 2 stars. PS: I aso noticed incredibly all the prices are much higher now... maybe because they have so few customers?? In another review I just noticed, it said this restaurant had the most authentic Peruvian meals.... I have no idea where that came from in a Mexican restaurant with a Mexican menu!!I know this review is brutally honest and direct, but the truth sometimes helps a place and sometimes hurts.

This is a place for the younger set. If you have a little more interest in beer that you do food poisoning this may be just the pace for you. This place is interested in getting your money but not necessarily in giving value for the price. It is a Hostel / Tour / Equipment rental / Beer garden (sort of.) Mr. LipeByte,I am the owner and chef at Paco's Tacos and I don't believe we have met....nevertheless, your disappointment is concerning to me, however based on your review, I can't say for sure what exactly is the complaint with our food or service. I will reach out to you personally to discuss any problems you may have had and look to win your business back as a repeat customer as many of our patrons from Boquete are.
