Mofongo with pork

I eat it in the weekend food market and it was fresh and well done. Service was fast and clean. A bit overpriced for my understanding but food was good.

I have tried them twice now and would highly recommend! The Arroz Mamposteao with Carne Fritas and Tostones is my absolute favorite here--always flavorful and cooked perfectly. I also tried the Mofongo with Pernil, which was a bit ripe but still had great flavor. I especially loved the chunks of chicharrón hidden inside the mofongo and the tasty sauces that came with it. Overall, a delicious experience every time!

I recently ordered food from their food truck while they were at The Miami Book Fair, and I must say, I was blown away by the flavor of their food. I ordered the Mofongo Relleno which came with a huge amount of mofongo and roasted pork. The mofongo itself was soft and moist, while still maintaining that consistensy that makes it shapeable. The roast pork was seasoned with that traditional "campo" taste that takes you back to Puerto Rico. The staff working this truck were a pleasure to deal with. Super happy to have run into this fopd truck at The Miami Book Fair. I truly looking forward to visiting again.

This Puerto Rican booth is at the weekly Smorgasburg Miami food market in Wynwood. Authentic Boricua street food at this booth. The bowls are plentiful with fried plantains mixed with meat and cheese. Servers were nice and you can tell there's pure joy sharing the cuisine.

I had their pollo mofongo at Smorgasburg Miami .... It's like salty slop in a bowl for $22. They have no prices noted... You don't know the price until after you order. Don't waste your money on this one.

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.

Instead of reviewing the bill with us, the waitress went straight to charging the card and included an additional tip without explaining that gratuity was already built in. It felt deceptive and avoidable. Food was decent. I won't be returning due to the deceptiveness.

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.

It's a small place, with only a few table, but the food is definitely worth it. The alcapurrias and sorullitos made me feel like I was back at home! Show El Chinchorro some love. You won't regret it!

This feels like a classic Little Havana place with great food and a great atmosphere, but…read moredefinitely make a reservation!! If not, you will have to wait in a pretty long line. I was actually running extremely late to the reservation time but they still honored it and my friend was seated immediately. When I arrived, I was famished so we ordered a bit of everything to start - the vitrola. It's their Cuban appetizer sampler with empanadas, plantain chips, croquettes, and others. It is a great way to try a bunch of items. My friend and I also ordered the ropa vieja and the Cuban sandwich to share. The ropa vieja is life changing - order it, you will not be disappointed. So flavorful and tender! The cuban sandwich was also really good, but a bit cheesier than others I have had. There was a ton of live music happening in both the front and the back of the restaurant. It is a very lively, fun place. The only downside is because it is so busy, the service is a little on the slower side but honestly who cares. You are there for the food and vibes and have nothing to do!

My experience is based on my visit, so please keep that in mind…read more I visited plenty of times Little Havana. Is full of restaurants to choose from. Every restaurant is uniquely decorated and fill with the Miami vibes. Mojitos and cortados are available throughout the day. Old Havana is that type of place. The service is top notch. The waiters look sharp and profesional. They know everything on the menu that you might like and will give you their best recommendations!! Our waiter was Gypsia, and she was lovely, attentive and funny! The food was delicious. I highly recommend it!

We ordered a ton, and right off the bat: if you love croquetas and empanadas, order extra. They're on the smaller side and come individually, but they are so good they disappear fast. The beef empanadas were a 10/10 perfectly seasoned and crispy. The chicken empanadas didn't hit the same for me, but the jamón croquetas? Absolutely insane. A must. For appetizers, the prawns al ajillo were delicious super flavorful and cooked perfectly. We also tried the grilled octopus, which was good, but not my favorite. It leaned a bit bland for my taste, even with the sauce. Now, the must-get: the carnitas with pickled onions. Easily one of the best dishes of the night so flavorful, tender, and perfectly balanced. For entrées, we had the ribeye steak and arroz con pollo, plus sides of tostones and yuca. Everything here delivered. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right not overly salty. The arroz con pollo was phenomenal, the kind of dish you could eat every single day. The tostones were crispy and tossed in garlic, which took the flavor to another level, and the yuca was melt-in-your-mouth good. I also ordered a mojito, which unfortunately was very watered down, I barely got any of that classic mojito flavor. Service overall was solid, especially considering how loud the restaurant gets it was honestly hard to hear each other at the table, so shoutout to our server for keeping everything straight. The appetizers came out quickly, back-to-back, which we loved. The only downside was the wait for the entrées they took quite a while after we finished the apps, even though we ordered everything at once. Overall, amazing food, great energy, and definitely worth going just be prepared for a lively (and loud) atmosphere.
