I went on a Saturday during lunchtime, and I was blown away with the crazy amounts of people coming in. Service was absolutely amazing. Every worker was super friendly. The line moved fast with the number of workers they have. The first bite of the rice and beans was heaven. It brought me back to my grandmother's cooking. They have so many choices of authentic Puerto Rican food. This place is 2 hours away from my house but I guarantee you I'll be coming here quite often. They have seating but like I said first come first serve. Get in here before any rush hours and you'll be ok. They have a great amount of breads as well as Spanish pastries. The amount of food you get for what you pay is crazy. I ordered rice and lentils, with red beans, and roasted pork. It was literally enough for lunch and dinner or two people. This was dine in, not sure how much you get for takeout. Smart me I ordered my kids there own meal which had to be taken home as well. This is a definite go-to spot for Puerto Rican food. The location isn't in the best of towns, but everyone there was friendly and there to chow down.

Unbelievable food, unbelievable price. $17.99 for a weekend lunch. All the boned meat was fall off…read morethe bone. The beef ribs and chicken legs were soft and juicy. With the sauce they came with adding an extra punch of flavor. There were an assortment of meats including multiple types of cuts of beef, chicken, pork and also fish and shrimp. For the food I ate beef ribs, chicken legs, ground beef, beef stew, and chicken rice. I also had plantains and these potato balls stuffed with chicken, the pork should was good but a bit to salty for my liking. Everything else was phenomenal. The dessert included a flan, coconut flan, compote, these three were great with the flan being the best. The salad/fruit bar featured an overwhelming amount of options, and was a great way to end the meal. My critiques are the lack of hand sanitizer in the restaurant, especially for a buffet, and the plastic utensils, with no spoon or knife given. Other than that check this place out you will love it.

But this yr we tried again for dinner, after our visit to a popular store we decided to try again here, and the experience was so much better with fresh food coming out all the time, the place was buzzing with people and good laughter and the food was yummy. We were very surprised with the staff singing someone a very cheerful happy birthday. Very Nice Thank you and we will see you next year again .

This place was pretty off-the-hook when we went there on a Sunday afternoon. The windows are dark…read moreso you can't see in but the Latin music was cranking. Once we went inside it was so loud it was in fact louder than just about any club I've ever been too. It was absolutely impossible to hear anything.. There were some tables and seats at the bar, and a DJ spinning Latin CD's at the back of the bar area. Disco lights were flashing and strobe lights were popping. We mouthed the words to the bartender a few times and eventually she understood we were asking for margaritas. We saw some pretty interesting food going around and got some menus. The menus were LONG. There were a lot of Puerto Rican items on the menu (and interestingly all around this town) and I wasn't all that familiar with them so I sort of picked stuff randomly. The bartender was able to figure out what I wanted because I was pointing to the things we wanted. It was still so loud my wife and I could only communicate by texting each other on our phones. It made me laugh to think of people who complain about places being too noisy -- this was a whole 'nother level. The food came and it was mostly very good. Potato croquettes (Rellenos de papa) stuffed with ground beef, a shrimp filled crispy fritter (pastelito de cameron), alcapurrias (fried green banana rolls with ground beef), mofongo con carne frita (a sort of mound of green plantain mashed up served with fried pork) and a side of mofongo de plantano maduros (which I think ended up just being regular plantains). I thought the mofongo con carne frita ($10) was supposed to come with white or yellow rice and possibly plantains and fried potatoes but it didn't come with any of those items. That's ok, we had enough food but it wasn't clear why it didn't. It was good. Mofongo on its own is sort of bland and starchy. The guy next to me had a ketchup bottle of something that looked like thousand island dressing and after some pointing I eventually got my own bottle. It was pretty tasty but did kind of taste like sort-of spicy thousand island dressing. Not sure what kind of sauce it is officially. The potato croquette was good and cheap ($1.25). The green plantain one was not my favorite. The plantains were good. The mofongo and carne frita was good. We actually ordered another shrimp fritter ($4). It was pretty tasty. It's not clear if there is a DJ playing music all the time or this was just a special occasion. The margaritas were a little sweet. They used mortons table salt for the salt which doesn't really work too well (I didn't get salt on mine). Not sure that this is really a "margarita" sort of place. We eventually just started drinking Modelos. The area is a little bit of a rough area and the crowd might make some people nervous but everybody seemed to be ok with us being in there. Some of the tables eventually ended up with hookahs, which is surprisingly popular apparently in Springfield. The Puerto Rican dishes I've seen in there I have now seen in a number of other local establishments. If you're looking for more traditional Mexican food this is really a different thing. I'm glad I went. FYI other people seem to refer to this place as Restauran El Mofongo.

The Jabiro steak roll was delicious, and I liked that so many items had plantains in them!

We went on a Friday night when they had karaoke, which got loud but was entertaining. They seem to have good deals throughout the week as well! The food came out quickly, and the staff was all friendly and welcoming. This was a great stop before a trip to the MGM casino, and we'll be keeping it in mind for future trips!
