I asked for any sauces for my sandwich, and we were given hot sauce and the mayo catsup mixture in a bottle. All in all, it was a relaxing time. I would hate to be there if it were busy. It's a smaller space. I would eat here again, but I am not rushing to come back.

Kinda small…read morelocation but they make the best of it.. i ordered tostones which are fried plantains and fried pork belly...which is exactly what it sounds like. I was a huge fan of the tostones, it was crispy and crunchy and fried to perfection. They put tooo much garlic oil on mines but still edible. I was not a huge fan of the fried pork belly.. it was like I liked it bc I was hungry but I didn't like it enough to come back and order it again.. I think it was the seasoning and it was overly salty for me... besides that it was cooked to perfection. Maybe I need to come back and try something else on the menu but for now it's not a place I would rush back to and eat at.. I'm sorry I hate being mean but I have to be honest.

Was looking for Puerto Rican food and came upon the reviews of El Mofonguito…read more Parking is a little tough but we came early and were able to find street parking. We were greeted with a smile and guided to choose our own table. A basket of bread and butter was brought over promptly. I ordered appetizers, tostones rellenos de lechón and carne frita. They came out at the same time as the entrees. It only took about 10 minutes! We ordered a volcan with steak in red sauce (mofongo relleno de bistec en salsa), breaded chicken breast and lechón with arroz con gandules. The food was spectacular! Everything was very well seasoned and reminded me of home (born and raised in PR, moved here as an adult). I would definitely recommend that anyone come here for authentic Puerto Rican food. Be mindful that they are very generous with their portion sizes. We ended up taking about half of it home. There are worse problems one can have. :-)

It is incredibly well priced, the food is incredible and the staff is amazing. We tried the Cuban, the grilled chicken and the ham, cheese and egg. All soooo good. AND both times the manager brought us out complimentary empanadas to try which were also delicious. The 2nd time he sent us home with a comped streak sandwich, again amazing. The Cuban iced coffee puts most coffee places to shame.

I LOVE Pozoleria El Mexicano…read more.. I have been here numerous times and have always left happy and full. I've also ordered to go plenty of times and have never been disappointed with my order. I would like to give a glowing review for their entire menu, but I almost always order the pozole Oaxaca style. This style has chicken, hominy and is in a l smoky, spicy red broth. It's my go-to for cold days, sick days, bad days, heck... any day! Street parking is always easy to find. They take cash and card and the staff is always very friendly. The interior is nicely decorated and they have a huge dining room area that looks like it could accommodate banquets.

I would need to ask for it on the sandwhich. Go look up a Cuban sandwich. First I'm Cuban. Second my father cut your father's hair and been going to the old Milwauke site for decades, your too. WHAT YOUR STAFF SAID IS WRONG AND THEY DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE A CUBAN. This Cuban and others that want a real CUBAN, will find a new place. She was also rather rude...I told her I wasnt looking for free food and try to tell her the history. Listen to your customer base, if you want them to return.

I've had my fair share of PR food and I have to say this is it, this is the one!…read more Sadly, they are only out in the OIP neighborhood during the summer/fall time so the 1 year wait was much anticipated. Family owned and great service, the prices are very decent for the quality of food you're getting along with variety of options. I always stick with their jibaritos, PR rice and their meat pies/empanadas. FUEGO! Rice is super soft and bouncy, the meat pies are incredible and their mini jibs hit the spot. Everything is jam packed with garlic so that will linger for about a day, worth it! Wait time can be anywhere from 30-45 min as they make everything fresh and the line can be lengthy. Patience is key because it's oh so worth it down to every last bite! They take cash/card and are open until 6pm except closed on Sundays. If you get there too late they run out of rice!

Walked in by chance and don't regret it at all. The food listed in the menu was so exotic (to me)…read morebut luckily they had someone to explain the items and make ordering a breeze. We ordered the (Orden de) Picaditas, that arrived as 3 hefty masa-flour tortillas topped with green sauce, chopped onions, sour cream, cheese and the addition of cecina (dried meat), which all tasted delicious. Love at first bite! One of these picaditas was super filling. I could barely finish my half of the Gordita we also ordered: a panfried masa shell stuffed with asada (steak), lettuce, onions, cheese and other good stuff. There were lots of other fillings we could have chosen, such as mushrooms, chorizo, shredded chicken or chicharron. Honestly I liked the picaditas better, but those two humble plates knocked us out after we waddled home. Taking away one star only because it was a little warm and unusually loud in there, due to the industrial fan and the occasional roar of the juicing machine. Oh, and we also tried the 'natural juice' which is blended "orange, beet root, carrot green, spinach, cactus, pineapple". Whatever was in there, I appreciate they didn't add ice to dilute the flavour~ Love the flowers at the storefront.

The all female crew is amazing to watch while they are preparing your food. It's a casual eatery, so no host, we always sit at the counter to see all the action. I always order chales gorditas, cecina , picaditas and agua fresca. The masa is fresh and hand made tortillas are being served. Flavors are exploding especially with the salsas.
