- Salsa? - The condiment or the dance?- BothWelcome to Casa 21. A large bar and club /restaurant space with a small latio space out front overlooking the parking lot and Hillsborough Ave. I tried the picanha which is a meat and sausage sample served with toothpicks and fries. They have a larger Colombian variets and I got the smaller offering with tasty chicken, meat, and sausage bites as well as lots of lemon and a side sauce somewhat like russian dressing. A guy nearby recommended the lobster bisque ($6.95) so I got that too and enjoyed it a lot.The place is large and is supposed to be hopping at night. I met the owner and he was nice. Accomodating. My waitress was great. It's nice to see people from various backgrounds and countries mixing. I would like to come back when the place is fully in action but dont be shy about coming by for a bite or drink. :) They've expanded to offer lunch and have some breaded chicken or steak items with rice or beans for $6.95 as well as other items on the menu. This is a Latin agglomeration type place with pan Hispanic dishes including Cuban, Peruvian, Colombian, and gringo (American) offerings. Some landacaping and greenery around the patio and parking lot would be a welcome addition. :)In Spanish, tango is probounced tan-go. And tengo means to have. No tengo tango.. I don't have tango. :)

Casa 21 did a 180 turn for the better after the remodeling. It appears to be under new management and many things have improved under it. From the menu, to the decor, to the ambiance and the service, everything is much better now. It had been a while since I came in, and I am seriously impressed. Good luck on the new changes. I will defenitely recommend to everyone I know!

This one was a struggle! The food was 5 stars but the service was one!We had a Groupon so we decided to give this place a try. The first thing we noticed was that the restaurant didn't seem to have an "identity"..it was part restaurant, part sports bar, serving Latin food but playing American music..dressed up tables and casual one...just interesting!The table was dirty and it took the waitress some time before she stopped by again and cleaned it.Our waitress was Cuban..had a tough time talking to us, when we asked her about couple items on the menu the response was either "I don't know" or " that plate is similar to Puerto Rican food"...huh?? What if I am not familiar with Puerto Rican food? Where is that leave me!?? She had 3 tables ..the rest of the restaurant was empty aside from few gentlemen by the bar, we ordered shrimp tacos and it took over 40min to get them! Also the items on the menu were overpriced.So she was a terrible waitress , it took forever to get ONE order of shrimp tacos, couldn't answer any questions about the menu BUT once the tacos made it to the table they were INCREDIBLE! Just enough flavor and a generous portion of shrimp. To us, eating out is more than just good food it is also service and atmosphere, and because of that we wouldn't be going back.

got to visit the place for the first time bec of a deal we got on groupon. the staff is very nice. we ended up ordering SEAFOOD paella. (note the caps) and we ended up getting it full of pork chunks. no fish, no scallops, nomussels. super greasy we ordered this to go and the cook was nice enough to show it to us before covering it. we thought, maybe the seafood is underneath. but no. there was a lobster in the middle but that was it. not coming back here for the food

Food was awesome! Very flavorful and tasty! Wait staff was very attentive and friendly. Management came over to ensure our satisfaction. Ordered the salmon and sangria...very pleased!

My first experience there and I will never come back. We met with a group of people, so it was about 10 of us. The service was HORRIBLE. Not only did I have to find the waitress myself, but we waited over 1:30 minutes for our food that came incorrect. I ordered mofongo and got tostones, but was so hungry that I stayed with the wrong dish. I told the waitress that was the wrong dish and she told me I was wrong and that I ordered what she brought me, which I didn't. I also had ordered a beer that I never got and had to remind the server of. If you order water, they automatically give you bottled water, charge you for it and the staff doesn't communicate that to the guest. After a few people in the group had left (they had been gone for over 30 min), the rest of us there realized that someone left without paying their tab. The manager insisted that we were responsible for that tab because we were sitting with them, despite the fact that we ALREADY PAID what we consumed. While trying to get in touch with the people who walked out, the manager grabbed my friend's phone, put it in his pocket and was threatening us to call the police. He would dial 911 and leave it on his phone so that it was obvious that he was ready to call. That was his way of intimidating us and making us responsible for something that his server should have been responsible for. As one who works in the service industry, it's the servers responsibility to ensure that her guests pay their check before they leave. But with the inattentiveness of the service at this place, that wasn't the case and they decided to threaten us and point the blame. Not only is the service horrible, but the manager was rude and ridiculously unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

This is an amazing place for dinner! Best food ever!! The service provided by Sergio is top notch. I had a party of 25 and got accommodated the same day after another restaurant cancel on us because we were "too many". The menu was excellent, the waitress were very attentive, they went the extra mile. Great place for BIG families.. All this was done additional to another party of 70 people they had.. These people are business oriented!!

This place it's good for Colombian or Venezuelan around 50 years old. If you are not in that category forget it. Food it's not good if you are Latino because favor is not authentic

If 0 stars was a rating that's what I would rate this.I went there with my wife for a party. She ordered the salmon and it came out so undercooked that it was still swimming. We notified the waiter and she came back and said that the cook said it was " only a little raw" and that we had the option of getting another "fully" cooked order but that would be an additional charge, or they could re-heat the Nemo that was sitting in he plate for free . To ad insult to injury I asked if they had coquito at the bar and the waitress said she would check, she came back and said that they did but it was called a different name there. I said ok I'll try it but the drink never came.... I didn't think anything of it but when the bill came they charged me for a shot of Tito's vodka!!! Coquito and Tito's are two different things and I didn't get either and she told me that I was drinking so I didn't remember drinking it.... I had one mixed drink that was so watered down a small child could have downed it with no buz... they then refused to alter the check and added in gratuity without prior notice or consent.
