The first time, my partner picked up the order in person , we paid for a pound but got maybe 3/4 of a pound, and they were just fat with no crunch at all. They had the audacity to be bad and on top of that SHORT US. I decided to give them another chance and ordered through Uber Eats. They were still warm, so clearly fresh, but they were the chewiest, most unflavored and unappetizing chicharrones I've ever had still just full of fat. From a place called La Lechonera, you'd think they'd have these down. Sadly, I'll probably never order from here again. ( IF I CAN REMEMBER LMAO)

Well, Mofongo Steakhouse decor reminds me of a retro 70s disco theme with its bright flashing…read morelights, music and decor. It has a fun, festive atmosphere! When you enter the restaurant, there's no hostess stand or a sign that says to seat yourself. So it's a little confusing. Finally someone showed up from behind the bar to seat us. We ordered the house sangria and an appetizer. The house sangria was not sweet at all and tasted like a dry red wine. We waited a long time for our entrées to come out and they came out before our appetizer. We had to ask for salads that came with our meals. Our appetizer showed up not long after our main course. Now the food is excellent. My boyfriend had the seafood Camarones with the garlic sauce. I had the salmon with the Cajun sauce. I really preferred the garlic sauce. It was my first time trying mofongo. It had an interesting texture, almost like a stuffing. My boyfriend ordered a coffee at the end and again it took a long time for it to come out. Overall, the food & ambience was excellent, but the service could use improving.

As I walk I'm there are two ladies behind the counter arguing with each other ( which never stopped the entire time I was there) I scan the counter and there's no food!!! NO FOOD it's 6:45 and all i saw was grits, potatoes and a woman brought out poached eggs. So I'm immediately disappointed. To make a short story long, I ordered grits and potatoes and she threw in a sausage patty (which ended up being the worst sausage I've ever eaten i literally spit it out.) This woman tried to charge me $9.66 are you crazy!?? I couldn't believe it No bacon No scrambled eggs No toast And you think this is a $10? Naw champ This is my first and my last time coming here. I asked about eggs and I was told 10mins. Come on this is a breakfast joint that opened at 6:30 you know folks are heading to work and can't stay and sit for someone to whip up some eggs.

The owner greeted us at the door, it was fairly empty so there was no wait and we were seated right away. The ambiance is nice. It does look like you've stepped into the VIP area of a restaurant, so it was cute -- not fancy, but cute. The owner then told us about the restaurant being inspired by his mother, they've been around for 10 years, explained the menu etc., it was nice. He also told us that he hadn't been to Jamaica since a kid and that raised an eyebrow -- but we let it go because he wasn't the cook. MIND YOU, I brought my cousin here (who is Jamaican) after seeing decent reviews about it. He brought over our first round of drinks and they were really good. We really enjoyed them. They weren't strong at all, tasted like juice. So I would recommend just getting juice instead of the +$5 to add rum. As we began to order and look at the menu, the prices were really HIGH, but I guess he was going for upscale cuisine -- so we said OK, let's see what this entails. We all ordered the Taste of the Island plater that gave an oxtail, curry goat and jerk chicken, rice and peas, plaintains and a tiny side salad. I wasn't mad at the portions given, but the flavor didn't hit the mark at all. NOW LETS GET INTO THE FOOD The Jerk Chicken was OVERLY spicy; we couldn't even enjoy the flavor. The oxtails were fatty, sweet and BLACK. Not enjoyable at all. The goat was OK, but not very flavorful in my opinion. The beef patties were good, but probably out of a box. The Roti was good and the oxtail dipping sauce was good. The Honey BBQ Wings were pretty good and cooked well. The Mac'n'Cheese -- DO NOT GET THIS. It literally has NO taste and reminded me of the cup mac'n'cheese that you put the powder cheese in. It took so long to bring it out, I guess he kept forgetting about it (they said everything is made to order) -- which, IDK how you make mac'n'cheese to order. Real cooks know, Mac n cheese is NOT a 5-minute made to order meal. He also didn't ask how we enjoyed the meal -- which I felt like he knew what we knew when he saw that not only did the other table leave a plate full of food (the meats) but our plates resembled the same -- he still collected his coin. There is a 20% gratuity that is added on at the end that is ridiculous considering the prices are already so expensive -- MIND YOU, it is not "Elevate Cuisine", its basic Jamaican dishes on Ikea plates. No special plating, no unique sauces or display, no chef's plating or anything. Just a plate of food. Everyone's bill came in over $100. The table nearby us order the same thing and inquired whether or not we liked our food, but we'd just gotten our food and hadn't tried it yet -- we did warn them about the chicken being spicy, but not everything else. They came after us and left before us and left everything on the plate except the rice and peas. I love black owned businesses and I wish this much more success, but I would NOT recommend it to anyone that is looking for authentic Jamaican food.
