South American-style steakhouse coming to Collingswood

Collingswood’s shuttered Word of Mouth restaurant on Haddon Avenue will be replaced in early February by El Sitio, a South American-influenced steak and seafood restaurant.

It’s the first U.S. venture for Ecuador native Francisco Cabrera, who has two restaurants in his native country. The Cherry Hill resident, 53, has lived in this country for a year and a half and says he chose Collingswood for its proximity to Philadelphia and its small-town feel.

Another Collingswood restaurant closes? | Mondo Zero

John Ziomek/Courier-Post

By: Mark Correa, Courier-Post Staff

Looks like Word of Mouth restaurant in Collingswood is no more.

Chef Mark Smith (of Tortilla Press) noted on Twitter a short while ago that he saw yesterday the longtime Collingswood spot was closed. (Talking about Word of Mouth, to be clear, not Tortilla Press. Tortilla Press seems to be doing fine and even recently reopened the spin off Tortilla Press Cantina in Pennsauken).

And when I just tried to give Word of Mouth a phone call, their phone number was disconnected.

Anyone heard anything about this?

Bistro AmericanA opened in late summer and is one of the newest restaurants along Haddon Avenue.

The setting is near perfect, at the center of town, a great place for people watching. Large windows allow in loads of natural light, yet the eatery maintains a cozy feel thanks to dark, hardwood floors and a fireplace.
