The plantain is always just the right texture and the chicken is very tender. It doesn't really travel well though so you just have to use a fork to put everything back together. The steak is good, but it is a bit salty and the white rice cancels it out a bit. Super filling!

Our meeting with 17 women and 8 Hartford Police officers who came to answer our questions about personal and Internet safety was a positive experience, led by our friend Hyacinth Yennie. This community activist spends her time at the Senior Citizen Wellness Center down the street, where she leads activities and trips for older residents of the neighborhood. Delicious food, attentive service, and affordable prices made this restaurant a positive choice for our monthly support group meeting. The hors d'oeuvres, sandwiches, and desserts hit the spot while we engaged with South End police officers who answered our questions about safety and gave short, helpful talks. All in all, it was a positive experience. We will return for the delicious Spanish food and the excellent service from the wait staff. Thank you, Lo Sano, for a wonderful dining experience. We thanked our friend HyavinthYennie for recommending such a good place for our group to meet and enjoy a delicious meal. Thank you, Lo Sano, for a wonderful dining experience.

Casona offered a great deal that I couldn't pass up. So we stopped in here before heading to The Funny Bone to continue the evening's festivities. Appearance/Atmosphere: I just LOVE a business with their own parking lot. Lol. It just eliminates the hassle of trying to find a place to put your car while you shop, eat, have fun, whatever. There wasn't much to the outside, but there were quite a few surprises inside. This place is a restaurant, but it's more-so dedicated to dancing, like a night club. There were 3-4 HUGE, wide-open rooms with wooden floors that are setup for you to dance. You walk in from the parking lot right into the beautiful, colorful bar that has a stage setup for live music. If you continue through you walk into the "Hip-Hop" room where that type of music is played. (Later in the evening of course.) To your left is the "Salsa" room! We were there around 5:15pm so there wasn't much going on in them and we were some of the only customers there. Service: The bartender was our server as well so she was fairly busy taking care of the bar rail, but was very attentive to us sitting at a high top. I wish I remembered her name, but she was very sweet, funny and got us everything that we needed. Food: So the Groupon is for 2 tapas and 2 cocktails. I had a Long Island Iced Tea with seltzer instead of Coca-Cola and sour mix. Cutting the carbs where I can. Lol. My lady had a Grey Goose Lemon Drop. Delicious drinks. I'd expect nothing less from a place that's supposed to be a club. For my first tapa I went with their Ceviche Trilogia which is a taste of 3 kinds of their ceviche, each made with a special yellow pepper sauce, rocoto and virgin. It was SO GOOD, lime-y, citrus-y, fresh and the portion was much larger than I had expected. I thought a tapa was a fairly small plate, I was pleasantly surprised. My 2nd tapa was the Picada which were bite-size portions of beef, pork, chorizo, chicken, potatoes and yucca. So savory, succulent and filling! It was huge, definitely not what I think of when I hear "tapa"! Lol. I'd love to try the rest of their menu out. I'm not really into clubbing so much anymore. I mean, I'll dance if Tiffany wants to, but I'd come here for the food! Value: The Groupon was $29.00 (before the extra 20% off I got) that included 2 tapas of any kind and 2 drinks of any kind. Shoot, 2 drinks in a club can easily run you $30.00 alone so that made this deal even sweeter. I don't know what the drinks would've been without the Groupon, but I do know my Ceviche Trilogia would've been $12.99 and my Picada would've been $11.99. The Groupon basically pays for itself before we even get to the drinks... almost. Lol. Aside from that I'd totally pay regular prices for the food that I had. It was absolutely worth it. In conclusion, I like the way this place was setup. Restaurant by day, party palace by night. What more could you want? Brunch, but nobody's perfect. Lol. I'd love to come back here to try some of their entrees and definitely check out the night life!

Last night prior to attending a show nearby, my friend and I stopped by Babe for some apps and…read moredrinks. Babe is a cute concept, the interior is all pink with a rose covered wall and plush pink seats. There was no one here, other than the very poorly trained staff, there were no patrons inside or outside. However, both restaurants to left and to the right of Babe were super busy. We decided to sit outside, because it might have been less awkward than being the only ones inside. The chairs were super uncomfortable, they were the very hollow metal chairs without any cushions or padding. The waitress come out with the waters. The waters come in these fancy whiskey glasses with a lime slice and a pink straw. She brought us the QR menu. This is when she informed us that we may only have alcoholic beverages inside. I have never heard of such nonsense in my life. She's telling us this after we got seated. I got the Melon Crush mocktail and my friend got the Cocoberry Bliss. Since I wasn't very hungry, I got the Guacamole. My friend got the three beef tacos. They weren't letting her get an assortment of tacos, they had to all be the same. The mocktails tasted like kid's juice, super sugary and carbonated. Not impressed. The waitress forgot about my guacamole. We waited a few minutes after the tacos came out, then asked her about it. She said she forgot. The tacos were a generous size, they were on a soft shell packed with beef, tomato, lettuce and cheese. These tasted super bland to me. They tasted like they hadn't been seasoned at all. Once my guac has finally come out, I couldn't believe my eyes. The guacamole was in a small dish in the center of a donut shaped plate, surrounded by tortilla chips. However, the chips were super tiny broken pieces, they were obviously the remaining crumbs. The guacamole was very smooth, but again lacked zest and flavor. To say I was disappointed in Babe, would be an understatement. To be honest, with such poor service, low quality food, and worst of all an empty establishment, I don't see them staying in business much longer.
