Come for: mofongo of course!…read more Know that: English is not spoken by everyone here, but service is very nice! I LOVE mofongo and visiting Miami, I had to give it a try. The ambiance of Mofongo is friendly but be prepared to do a lot of pointing if you don't speak Spanish. Servers are very nice! I came for lunch and ordered the mofongo churrasco (4/5). The mofongo was deliciously flavorful and the pork still juicy. My one disappointment was they did not have the cream sauce during lunch, but did provide me with some garlic butter sauce. It made the mofongo very decadent...perhaps too much. Overall, I'd come back to try it with another sauce. Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and great service.

As a Puerto Rican this was my choice for an early dinner. The inside is absolutely stunning. The hostess greeted me and sat me down quickly. As I viewed the menu I was glowing with glee to see bacalaitos. Of course I ordered them and they were so crispy and so flavorful. I told myself eat only 2 but I ate 3. I also, ordered the mofongo because that is what they are known for. Wow, presentation is beautiful. It comes out in a pilon. I ordered the shrimp and criollo sauce. Wow, wow, wow! Really, this dish was so pallete pleasing. I felt like my mom cooked it. Yes, that good. The waiter was so nice and attentive. He recommended the sauce which fit perfectly with the shrimps. Overall, I loved this place. When I come back to visit I will return for more.

I came here with my sister, and this was our second visit. The food was delicious, and if you're…read morelooking for authentic Puerto Rican food, this is definitely a place to try. Everything we ordered was flavorful, and we've had consistently good experiences with the food. The only downside was the service. It was just average, and the staff could have been a bit friendlier and more attentive. Also, the Coke came in a very small glass bottle, almost sample-sized which was a little disappointing for the price. Overall, I'd still come back for the food because it's worth it.

I brought my sister because she loves mofongo, and it seemed like the perfect place for us to check out together. We came fairly early, around 6 PM, so it wasn't crowded at all. The only downside was that the restaurant had a fragrance that was incredibly strong and honestly a bit overpowering. It kind of took away from the experience for me. They don't have outdoor seating, but I genuinely would have preferred sitting outside in the Miami heat over being inside with that scent. Food wise, it definitely delivered. I ordered the churrasco mofongo and it was delicious. The steak was flavorful and paired perfectly with the mofongo. We also got the fried chicken for my nephew, and it was so good. Crispy, juicy, and a huge hit with him. Service was good throughout our visit, and our food came out quickly. Overall, I'm glad to see them thriving in a larger space. The food was great, the service was solid, and if they toned down the fragrance, the experience would have been even better.

Looking for this small restaurant I saw on Yelp on a rainy day. GPS tells me that I have arrived at…read moremy destination but I miss it. If it wasn't for a lone Puerto Rican flag by the door, I almost keep driving and dismiss it as if it was a false Yelp page. Thank God I did not! This little place is tiny, with a counter that sits about four people max and a small table for two. They specialize in takeouts mostly but we were able to snatch that little table for two. From the start, the lady at the counter was super nice and we immediately felt welcomed. We ordered an alcapurria, which for me is something I order to gauge the level of what to expect from our meals. Is it overcooked? Is it undercooked? Is it fried on burnt cooking oil or fresh? How a restaurant serves you an appetizer is very telling of their level of attention to detail. Luckily for us, this appetizer was perfectly cooked and it had a very well seasoned ground beef that was very flavorful. I, of course, ordered a Mofongo with fried pork chunks, which is one of my favorite all time meals while my wife went with her go-to chicken breast with salad and tostones. Both of our meals were very satisfying with a nice authentic Puerto Rican flavor. My mofongo was soft and moist with the nice flavor of green plantains. You would find the flavorful pieces of pork grind mixed in too, just like they make them back at the island. The pork chunks were flavorful but a little too hard and challenging to cut through with the plastic cutlery that we were given. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it way more with a good fork and knife in hand, but nevertheless, I can see myself ordering the exact same dish next time I buy dinner here again. My wife was very happy with her meal too. Overall, we will order to go next time, or for delivery. I am curious to see how this mofongo will travel. One thing I noticed is that they don't serve the mofongo with chicken broth on the side which would probably be a great idea to include, especially on a delivery. Plantains dry up so a side of this could revive it back to its full flavor. I'm very happy to have found this place and I recommend it.

On our last afternoon in Miami we searched for a Puerto Rican restaurant and thankfully stumbled…read moreacross this establishment. It's not a very large location. It's a hole in the wall. We found that it was the 1st Puerto Rican restaurant established in Miami in 1974. So it's been around 52 years and survived covid shut downs. Says a lot about how much the community loves it too. The service was great. The server was able to easily answer any questions about the menu. The food came out from the kitchen quickly and we started to feast. We ordered the Beef Alcapurias(fried masa). It's was great. My spouse who doesn't eat a variety of foods tried it and absolutely loved it. My sister ordered theGrilled Pork with Aroz con Gondules & a Pastele. My spouse had the Aroz con Gondules. I ordered the Chicharones de Pollo & Aroz con Gondules(double side). The portions were generous and delicious. I was even able to order a Pastele to go and eat it later with one of my sides of rice. We couldn't believe how affordable the lunch was when the bill came. We were all pleasantly surprised with the experience. And highly recommend this establishment if you are looking for an authentic Puerto Rican meal. We can't wait to go back for more!

I ordered the palomilla steak with rice and beans and it came with two maduros which I loved. The steak was super flavorful and tender. We also got the pollo guisado and it was just as delicious, very classic and comforting. Service was really good and the food came out so fast. Everything felt easy and smooth.

Our server was friendly throughout the evening and the food was pretty quick to come out. I didn't know before coming here but Cafe La Trova was listed on the Top 50 Bars of North America for 2026 and so I had to get the Buenavista drink which is highlighted as their award winner. Admittedly, I was let down by the drink. The balance was a bit off and overall I wasn't very impressed. However the food more than made up for it. The ropa vieja was very savory and the avocado cream was very zesty/citrus which helped cut down some of the richness of the dish. My only note would be to give some more avocado cream since there were only 2 little dollops. The Arroz Con Pollo was excellent! Super flavorful and I could eat this everyday and be happy. The tomatoes and olives add that extra bit of acidity which was perfect. The live music also added to the ambiance and so if you're someone trying to get that local Miami/Cuban vibe, I think Cafe La Trova is it.

Living in Miami I knew service was going to be bad for the rest of the meal so for the first time ever we just got up and left. I left a 1 star review on Google Maps. The reason I'm leaving another one on Yelp is that they responded to the other review telling me to email them to continue the conversation. I did it 7 days ago and they completely ignored it which tracks at how customer service is handled here. I suspect the same thing will happen and I'll have to leave another review on a different platform. I think something happened at Cafe La Trova where they're now just some corporate entity that's cashing in on the goodwill of the brand but they will eventually run the business into the ground. No one is at home here.
