Ok, now to clarify what the heck I'm talking about. Mofongos is a new Puerto Rican place in Worcester. Mofongos is basically a bowl of plantains smashed with garlic and fried pork skins. You get to choose what type of meat you want in your little plantain bowl (we got the juiciest, most savory pork EVER). This place has a simple menu and simple food that is amazing. We also got a side of rice (YUM!) and sweet plantains (only okay). Price isn't cheap, but it's totally worth it. We ordered a medium for $12 and it was more than enough for 2 people. If you haven't tried mofongos before, GO!

Anyway, let's get to the food , take a look at my pictures , this food held up fantastic on the 1 1/2 hr drive home. The mofongo was soft and paired perfectly with the chicken , sauce and peppers. The arroz was flavorful and the pernil was tasty as well. I would've loved bigger pieces instead of the smaller but that's ok !! The Colombian style empanadas were packed with filling and were delicious. This mom and pop restaurant with the vintage menus gets an B+ in my book. Mucho gracias.

We checked out this spot after trying to visit their sister restaurant Doña Habana but it was…read moreclosed. This spot is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood serving authentic Puerto Rican food. It's quite cozy inside with less than 20 tables making for a very intimate experience. I loved the decor inside too. The cocktail I ordered was called the Besó Boricua and my boyfriend got a glass of sangria. My drink was sweet and very enjoyable, plus it looked very picturesque. The sangria was good too, a little strong. We split the Tostones Salmorejo de Jueyes which were very tasty, I had never tried a dish like this before. The tostones were crunchy and fresh and the topping was tasty. My entree was the Churrasco con Salsa Chimichurri, which was fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly and the chimichuri salsa was super tasty. I also loved the rice and beans it came with. Huge portion but I was able to pace myself and finish most of it. My boyfriend got the Chuleta Kan-Kan which he really enjoyed. The portion was also huge and I didnt try it but he said was tasty. Our servers were very nice and kept checking in on us as well. It wasn't that busy when we came which we liked because we could enjoy each others company more in a quiet setting. Definitively check this place out, we will be trying out their sister restaurants!!

Great Puerto Rican joint. I got the Mofongo Tradicional de Plátano and the Pechuga Rellena de…read moreChorizo y Maduros. The Mofongo had delicious garlic notes and was sizeable, though there were some chewy pork belly fat pieces. The Pechuga was tender chicken in a tomatoey sauce, good but definitely less enjoyable than the Mofongo. The side veggies that I chose with the Pechuga were a large portion and cooked well. Any item in the "De La Finca" category comes with a side of your choice (any item in the "Por El Ladito" category). Also, they charge an 18% service charge by default. You can request to change it if necessary (noted at the bottom of your receipt)

We went for my cousins birthday and the staff were really nice and friendly and made it pretty lit! The aesthetic was pretty girl vibes and it was so beautiful inside. And all the music they were playing mixed with the mojito flights we had, had us wishing there was a dance floor. Even tho it was a Sunday night. The vibes were old San Juan on a Saturday night i loved it and would definitely come back. Also this is a great upscale dress cute date night spot! I've lived in Worcester almost my whole life and never heard of this place. Definitely a fave spot for me now. 10/10 from me ‍

Service was extremely sluggish, even on a slow Sunday evening, which was disappointing for a…read morerestaurant that's been open for over a year. The waitstaff was inattentive, and our orders (bistec and chuleta) took nearly an hour to arrive. For the price point, it's surprising that basic sides like rice or avocado aren't included and are instead charged separately. Overall, not impressed with the food or experience. They don't tell you this, but gratuity is automatically added to your bill, so be careful not to double tip for the lack of service. Double thumbs down!

I dont know if our experience was a fluke or if Puerto Rican food is just this dull. Im…read morerecommending it anyway because I've heard such good things from others. Our experience went good at the start. This is (at least from what we saw) a counter service restaurant. You order at the counter, pay, and take a seat. I do not remember the names of what we ordered but my husband had a kebab dish and I had a plantain dish. The music in the background was nice and went well with the theme. Everything was clean and the food did smell really good. At the time we were the only two in the dining area although a few others showed up later. The disappointing part for us was the food. The food looked great, but then...nothing. Very bland with very little flavor. Maybe this is normal? It smelled and looked so good that it was very surprising that it had such a bland flavor. Id still give it another try just because of all the great reviews
