    Trifongo with Carne Frita which also
    Saqui R.

    There is no way this place is anywhere close to a 5. If you call yourself the best Mofongo, you better bring it. I ordered a Tri Fongo and it was BAD. The lack in flavor was so disappointing. I had it with Carne Frita which also didn't have any flavor. My mom's mofongo was the same. No spices and bland!!!! My wife said hers was just okay, but lacked flavor. The Fried cheese appetizer was like eating an eraser. I would wish the waitress would pay more attention to serving tables. The restaurant set up was not bad, it had a good patio feeling. There was a nice breeze after some good rain. I will definitely not go back here and do not recommend. They need to step up their game. I was nice with the 2. Should be more of a 1

    Skirt steak mofungo

    The staff here were so nice! Our server worked hard to answer any questions we had (because we were new to mofungo). Although seating was outside it was still very nice and not hot at all. The drinks were great and the garlic cream sauce was amazing!! I would come back here in a heartbeat.

    Excellent service! Food is prepared fresh, does take a little time to make but it is so worth it. Relaxed ambiance, covered outdoor seating. Best mofongo I've had in a long time. The asopao was delicious as well.

    El Capitán

    Absolutely loved the stuffed mofongo here. The stuffed mofongo came out in piping hot large cups--reminded me of chalices. Ordered the churrasco stuffed mofongo. The steak was juicy, tender, and I loved that the flavor enhanced the mofongo and made it less dry. Other people at my table ordered the El Capitan and the shrimp stuffed mofongo, both of which also were impressive-looking and well enjoyed by the table. Definitely recommend ordering any of these dishes--be prepared for leftovers. Service was decent, and seating was outdoors but was covered. Parking available in the back lot where there's also restrooms. Overall this was some of the best food I've had while visiting Puerto Rico. Good place to stop by!

    Don't let the look of the restaurant discourage you from eating here. By Cheff's made one of the tastiest and most delicious chimicurri mofongos I ever had. I'm usually not a mofongo person because it tends to be dry if not made well, but the mofongo at Cheff's is juicy and flavorful. They served the mofongo in a mortar-like bowl so it's absolutely freshly mashed! All the dishes we ordered here were so good. We had ropa vieja rellenas to start which was well made. I had the shrimp stew with rice which was delish. To finish we had the corn bread tres leches which was unique but also good. Server was attentive. The place is family-friendly. It has a local-vibe to it. If you are in Isabella and want to try Puerto Rican food--look no further!

    Mofongo with pulpo & the other with mariscos- Delicious!

    Best Mofongo in my world! I had the mariscos mofongo with garlic sauce and I ate the entire amount. I couldn't stop eating it. The most balanced mofongo I have ever experienced. Like others have said, every bite is moist and fresh. Yes they cater to locals- but our server was very kind and friendly. The drinks were actually good too! Highly recommended- The outdoor covered area was very comfortable. It is on a small side road. So delicious I need to go back and take some to my hotel.

    Best mofongo I had on the island!

    This place is just off the #2 highway in Isabela. It had the best mofongo I've had in a long time. I would def go back the next time I'm in town.

    Came here for lunch on a Friday and not too crowded. Outdoor seating under a roof only. Next to the carretera, so it was a bit loud. We ordered mofongo and pasta. It took 20 minutes for the food to come out. People who came after us got their food before us. They seemed to cater to locals and takeout. The food was fine. The creamy garlic sauce for the mofongo made it flavorful. Parking in the lot behind restaurant.

    Mofongo with Churrasco, shrimp and chicken in a sause. It was delicious.

    The service was great, fast delivery of food. The portion and price was really good. The place was nice. Also a palcha lemonade, it was very refreshing.

    Shrimp and steak Mofongo with creamy garlic sauce! Yum!
    TIna S.

    I got my first Mofongo here. I got the creamy garlic sauce with flank steak and shrimp! The planatos were nice and moist. The steak melted in my mouth, and the shrimp were HUGE!!! Great service.

    What a great tasting Mofongo! Presentation and flavors were outstanding. Also got the fried cheese with guava sauce and it was delicious. Mejia was a great server. Got to come try this place.

    Address: 3683-3731 Avenida Militar Isabela, Puerto Rico 00662 United States It is not on Google Maps, but you'll see the lights on the side of the road. The food is 10/10. We got the seven polencitos which is the 7 fish dish in the chefs speciality, that was really good (10/10). And the mofongo with garlic sauce and the fish variety WAS AMAZING. We always come here whenever we are coming back from Crash Boat Beach. Great restaurant and super authentic. Great ambience too!
