DEEPLY fried plantains. Misses STILL waiting for her food.
Matt C.

Another tale of two experiences between the Misses and I. *I* particularly like Cafe Nitido; the wife said she will wouldn't go back. *shoulder shrug emoji*. Let's discuss.... First, the place is very nice on the inside; spacious, clean, relatively quiet. The servers were nice, (a little awkward, but nice...), and the food was delicious. I decided to go with the chicharrones mofongo, and the Misses got the salmon. We got a side of fried plantains to split. I was a little worried watching other peoples mofongos coming out, because although beautifully plated, the helping looked small. But, it was more than enough food. The plantains were more than a little over, (aka burnt,) but they tasted ok nevertheless. The Misses enjoyed her salmon, but was QUITE upset that the meal came with white rice instead of yellow. She says that she specifically asked for yellow, but I can't remember, AND, as is the custom now a days, the waitress didn't write the order down, instead trying to remember everything. Hate that practice, I really do. The MEALS were reasonably priced, but the sides and drinks were astronomical. The side of plaintains was TEN dollars. I ordered a coffee at the end of the meal, (that took FOR.EVER. to come out by the way,) and it was like an espresso sized cup of coffee that costed almost $5. The iced teas, over $4. They make up the difference of the meals on the other shit. Our bill for the mofongo, the salmon, an iced tea, a side of plantains, and the worlds slowest, smallest coffee was JUST under $100. It was good, but it wasn't THAT good. As I mentioned, the server was awkward, and would come by the table and then just stand there, or walk away and then walk IMMEDIATELY back, so it was just a little weird. YMMV. Again, even with all that, I would absolutely go back here. They have a LOT of mofongo options, and I'd love to try another protein.

This is a nice addition to the South Jersey food scene. The mofongo here is absolutely worth a try. I thoroughly enjoyed the blend of flavors in the sauce that draped my mofongo. I have been satisfied every time I visit. The wait can be a bit lengthy from time to time but that is because your food is being prepared homemade!!

This is a slam dunk easy review to write. 5 stars no question! We were here on a Friday night and they had live music so that was a bonus. Overall the place was very clean and the decor is awesome. The service here was very good. I would suggest 1 thing.When people bring a bottle of wine that the staff open it for the customer rather than just leave the corkscrew at the table. Not a big deal to us at all. The food here is excellent and reasonably priced. I had the tomahawk pork chop it was amazing. The rice it was served with was probably the best Spanish rice I ever had. For dessert I had the banana bread and that too was amazing. The food here definitely exceeded my expectations. We will be regulars here. I can't believe it took us this long to come here.

Not fancy, low key and good food establishment. Not fancy for sure but some very solid dishes and nice array of menu options. Worth a visit for sure. Live music on Friday evenings. Probably one of the most interesting wine glasses I've seen in a byob restaurant. Service was kinda rushed and long waits for water refills if you want my review to be 100% honest. I think if they were a little more active of social media and a web site the place would get more crowded so go before it blows up. Very nice change from the Italian options popping up everywhere including down the street.

Hidden gem! For starters my husband had an order of quipes, they came with 3 and a creamy dipping sauce. Delicious. I ordered the beef and cheese empanada. One per order with a delicious dipping sauce as well. He ordered the Mofongo with garlic shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, not overcooked as some places tend to do and the garlic infusion was subtle yet flavorful! It was truly amazing!! I ordered the pernil with white rice and black beans. The pork was tender and juicy. The rice and beans were good too! Must have their Tres Leche!! Wow! So So good! It's a BYOB AND they there was a live band. Great vibes! Great food and great service! Highly recommend this spot! We will definitely be going back!

Hot latte and iced latte

Super cute place. Good service and food was good. Only place I can find in the area with Spanish oatmeal

Churrasco Mofongo Seafood Trio Oxtail

Food was delicious! The empanadas were great- not too dry. The entrees were all flavorful and the desserts as well (which are apparently made fresh in house). Staff were super friendly and the ambiance was cute. Great for date night or a family gathering as the space was clean and large. Nice hidden gem. Highly recommend trying !

This bathroom floor was awesome!

Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and the nicest owners!!! The aesthetic is beautiful and modern. They really put thought into this place, right down to the bathrooms. The food was fresh, simple, and delicious! We had the skirt steak with rice and beans, oxtails, tostones, and a beef empanada. I didn't get a pic of the empanada but it was a great start to the meal. It was so good! We loved our food and enjoyed the atmosphere and will definitely be back again!

Came back with my son for dinner, he loved it! Great service, super friendly & delicious food. His mixed grill plate was cooked perfectly, came with what I believe if fresh chimi churri relish in the side. Very good. My first time trying mofungo and definitely not my last!

Food and atmosphere was on point. Empanadas were the best I had anywhere in Philly. Crunch is good, seasoning was good, and the portion is reasonable. The Food is pricey and delicious. I only got to experience the empanadas as it was a quick stop. But it was a great experience.
