The only complaint we really have is that the rice was old. Some of it was hard, dried out. Next time, I will request fresh rice and beans. Last time we had white rice in beans.

Tropix Pots Cuisines Bar & Grill has good food, but the staffing, wait times, and communication…read moreneed to improve. The long waits are not a one-time issue. They seem to be a recurring part of the customer experience. I understand that staffing is expensive and that small businesses have real cost pressures. But the owners need to figure out the operations side without sacrificing food quality. Good food matters, but customers also need reliability. The simplest fix is to give more accurate and conservative wait-time estimates. If food is going to take 45 minutes to an hour, say that up front. It is much better to set realistic expectations than to give customers a shorter estimate and leave them waiting. Customers have other Caribbean food options in Frederick, Montgomery, and Loudoun County, so the overall experience matters.

I believe the gentleman who helped us said he was the owners nephew. He was patient and thorough in walking us through. We were able to sample a few dishes which, was a lovely surprise. Everything was delicious. I ended up ordering pounded yam (made with fresh yam), efo riro, and fish. It was so good that I had to get another order to go. My friend got the Amala and jollof rice (she gave that a 10/10). I really appreciate the fact that they have excellent customer service, it's clean and welcoming, the food is delicious, and you're able to try a few different items. Will be back.

The chicken was very delicious and not dry. The pinto beans were also full of flavor. The veggies were ok, I'm trying to keep it somewhat healthy. The service was great, what more can I say. A huge selection of items on the menu and decent size drink selection. The dining area was clean with plenty of space (even though we ordered to-go). Overall it was a great experience and I can't wait to try some the other items on the menu.

It's quite rare to see a sit-down Puerto Rican spot around here (I've mostly only had food truck…read moreversions across the country). I'm happy to have found Sofrito! The place is nicely decorated and spotless, and the staff were friendly throughout. While I don't claim to be an expert in Puerto Rican food, overall the flavors were excellent. We started with the empanadillas, which were crispy and hot. The canoas were also delicious. The plantains were perfectly ripe and sweet, and the meat filling was flavorful and provided a nice savory balance. For entrees, we all went with combo plates. Each comes with pickled onions and a small side salad (kind of like a pico de gallo), plus your choice of rice, like white rice, tostones, maduros, or seasoned rice like arroz mamposteao or arroz con gandules. The pollo was moist with a really nice aromatic seasoning on top. The pernil asado was tender with crispy skin. The bistec encebollado was my favorite. The beef was very tender, tangy from the vinegar marinade (it actually reminded me a bit of Filipino adobo), and full of flavor. Both seasoned rice options were yummy, though we all slightly preferred the arroz mamposteao as it was a bit more flavorful. We finished with flan de queso, which tasted fresh and wasn't overly sweet. Street parking was easy even on a Saturday evening. I'd go there all the time if I lived nearby!

I had the mofongo (with the garlic sauce) with the carne frita (fried beef). I'm Puerto Rican and the carne frita was probably the best I've ever had. It was crispy but not hard and it was very tender and tasty. And the garlic sauce ... OMG, so delicious. I also got chicken and pizza empanadas and a plantain soup to go. Both were pretty good too. The waiter was nice and attentive and made good suggestions. My only complaints are that I had to pay for parking and I thought the food was a little pricey for PR food/lunch. But considering the portions were decent, that there aren't a ton of PR restaurants in MD and that it was delicious, I would go back there if in the area again.

Anyhow, I plan to return to try some of the other offerings. I think this place is a winner, and fairly affordable as well (in a time when many things are not!).
