Wasn't sure what to expect, but we had a very good start with the chips and salsa. For a Sunday…read moreevening, they had a pretty good crowd, which is always a good sign. I will say they could use a little better lighting, as the place does look a bit dated, but maybe that's the look they're going for. I've heard this restaurant has been here for about two years, and somehow we didn't know about it until a few weeks ago. Onto the main dishes! I had the Vaca Frita with white rice, black beans, and maduros, and everything was packed with great flavor. My wife had the Birria Tacos, and she said they were excellent. Of course, I had to try the consomme and what a mistake... because now I'm hooked line and sinker. It was so packed with flavor that I even started dipping my Vaca Frita in it. This is definitely a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, and I mean that in the best possible way. Don't miss out on it! I've seen some people complaining about the gratuity already being included on the check. Stop whining and tip what you should. If you have a problem with tipping, don't go out to eat at a restaurant with waitress service. The additional tip option at the bottom of the receipt is simply there for those who want to leave the full 20% or more. If you don't feel they deserve anything extra, then leave it as is. We will definitely be coming back. The scary part is just how local and convenient this place is. Ha!

So a friend found this place based off their IG page so I was skeptical. I was even more skeptical…read morewhen I pulled into the parking lot which is quite dilapidated and many of the store fronts are empty. However, I know from traveling that some of the best spots are ones that appear to be a hole in the wall. I walked in, very cute inside! Staff was welcoming and I cozied right up at the bar to wait for my friend. I was immediately brought chips and salsa and a cold beer. We ended up sitting at a high top and our waitress suggested that I try either carne asada from the Mexican menu or Vaca Frita from the Cuban menu. I love me some carne asada but I was intrigued but this 'fried shredded beef' that was marinated in mole and cooked in a hot skillet until crispy. She suggested sweet plantains to go with it and white rice with beans which is traditional Cuban (instead of yellow rice). IT WAS FABULOUS! It was crispy on the outside and juicy. The mole was flavorful but not spicy and i appreciated that the meat was not dripping in sauce. My dinner date ordered chicken tamales which were seasoned in a Cuban style with yellow rice. She is used to Mexican tamales but said these really hit the spot! The only blemish on the nice was her second margarita which was the cucumber one which she didn't like at all. However, the first one she ordered (pictured) which was a different flavor was a show stopper.

We had a good lunch here. My meal was better than my husband's one…read more He got a roast pork sandwich. The bread was good, but the pork portion was quite skimpy and it only had a few thin onion pieces. And the flavor was rather bland. The French fries were not cooked thoroughly -- he was given them to try as he'd actually ordered sweet plantains (maduros) as his side. The maduros came later. I got their baby churasco with white rice and black beans. I liked my meal although the skirt steak was a tad tough to cut. The chimichurri and a squeeze of lime helped season the meat. The sweet plantains were good as were the beans and rice. We shared flan caramel for dessert. This was very good.

The colorful décor and nostalgic touches throughout the dining room create a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels more like sharing a meal with family than dining out. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated that they were bilingual, making everyone feel comfortable and at home. We shared the Bandeja La Casa del Mofongo con Tostones, loaded with chicharrón de puerco, chicharrón de pollo, masitas de cerdo, salami, and queso. At $22.99, the portion was incredibly generous and easily large enough to share. The meats were flavorful and well-prepared, with the pork perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside. The tostones were fried to perfection! If you're craving authentic Dominican cuisine , La Casa del Mofongo is definitely a place worth adding to your list.

Tight little gas station with a fantastically popular cafe inside. Sadly, I didn't get to try the food- when I arrived there were only some meager looking ham and cheese croissants left, I wanted a classic guava pastry! The cafe con leche though? Let me tell ya. Five stars, perfecto cafe, strong. There was a line approaching being outside the door by the time I left. I'm sure the pastries and sandwiches were banging since there were none left at 0900. I'm going to go ahead and give them 5 estrellas 'cause they deserve it.

Stumbled upon this little gem totally by accident, but it will not be forgotten…read more Warm and welcoming, we stopped in on July 4th and the interior was cheerfully decorated in red, white, and blue. Service was exceptional. We even met the owner--so kind--and she shared that many of the recipes come from her grandmother. Well, I can tell you... Grandma was a great cook! The Lamb Shank was rich and tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection. It came with fresh carrots and creamy homemade mashed potatoes. The Grilled Octopus appetizer was a standout. It takes a special chef to do this well, and they nailed it here--each bite was tender, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth good. It was served over rich, olive oil-warmed tomatoes, onions and spinach, that complemented it perfectly. We found this place only because the Eagle Bar & Grill in the same shopping center was closed--and I'm so glad we did. Thank you for the delicious food and warm hospitality. I know I'll be Back Home again soon.
