Not so bad but no so great either. I would come back but skip few items to eat from the menu. There is no alcohol on location but you can go and buy it at the liquor store next and they will open for you. Pastel- skip, as a Puerto Rican you know when the pastel is fresh and no reheated. The pastel does not go with ground beef. The alcapurria - get, it is a humongous size, like pastel size, a little bit too salty and burn but good. Carne frita con tostones - a go, good size portion of meat, but only 2 pieces of tostones. Pollo frito con tostones- skip, chicken was a little dry, rice and beans were a decent portion and again only 2 pieces of tostones. read more

Smells good and yes very good. Nice and clean the staff is very attentive. It's dark inside the lightning is not great.

Tomorrow will mark 3 years since my mom passed away. On her anniversary I like to do things that remind me of her. This restaurant has all the classic Puerto Rican dishes that my mom would cook for me growing up so I had to come try it out. This place took me down memory Lane. We started the meal with some appetizers; unfortunately they did not have empanadas, which were my moms favorite so we settled for the Arepa con queso and the chicken one. The chicken arepa was wayyy better than the cheese. The dishes we ordered had very authentic Dominican and Puerto Rican flavors. We ordered three dishes: La Bandeja Paisa, Bistec Encebollado, and Locrio de pollo. My favorite part of each dish were the red beans; so full of flavor! Some dishes don't come with beans so be sure to add. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was for three reasons. The lady forgot our arepa with cheese, they did not have desert, and they were out of empanadas. Otherwise, this place met my expectations and was able to help with remembering my mom! read more

Honestamente por el precio no vale la pena, y soy de Guayama Puerto Rico donde la cultura es más pura. 17 pesos un plato que viene con 2 dos tostones y una cuchara de arroz. Bajen los precios read more

This place is great I dont normally write reviews but I have been looking for a good puerto rican restaurant and they are a1 everything is fresh when you order, it reminds you of home I have ordered just about everything on the menu and everything is good. read more

This place is about as authentic as it gets for South American food. My wife is from Puerto Rico and it has her approval as well as mine! The UN battered fried chicken with rice and maduros with a malta beverage is my favorite dish. The service is great but just be prepared it is authentic so knowing a little Spanish helps. The atmosphere is decorated in South American flags and culture. It's not a fancy atmosphere but it has a very authentic vibe. I love it myself. read more

La paisa has to be our family favorite! Along with the empanadas. FOOD: 8/10 Service 5/10 depending on who's working the young girls are slow and could be rude the men give good service. The wait is long read more

Never in my life have I tried something so salty and horrible. The alcapurrias here were HORRIBLE! I'm from Chicago and alcapurrias are made fresh daily and left under heat lamp to stay hot. Here you can tell it's frozen because some parts were hot and some were cold. Customer service sucked also (the woman was beautiful) lol but wasn't friendly at all. I said thank you when I got order and she just was cold. read more

Agua de maracuya 10/10 Chicharron 10/10 Criollo de pollo was soooo good 10/10 Mofongo was ok but everything else was soo good. Definitely coming again read more

We went to celebrate our 44th. anniversary. We have NO regrets and we will return. The menu is bi-lingual but the co-owner Julio Caesar will help you with your choices and explains what you are ordering. We shared an order of mofungo which was excellent and heavy in garlic which came with 2 large pieces of fried pork. My wife had the rice with gandulues with pastele. She wasn't pleased with the pastele. I had the same rice and we both enjoyed it. I had a very tasty portion of stewed beef. The portions were very large which is a good thing when the food was so good and tasty. Beware that everything comes out hot and don't be in a rush as they are cooking it fresh. There were several platters that were not available till the weekend. I really wanted the goat dish. The restaurant was super clean. We walked away stuff and satisfied. read more

I was excited to find this place because I love Spanish food. The prices were reasonable but I was disappointed with the customer service. The young waitress assigned to our table got very offended when I asked her to speak in English. She had an attitude the entire time after that. Beautiful but rude. I was afraid she would spit in my food if I addressed it. We quickly ate and my husband and I vowed never to return. The Mofongo is better at Punta Cana Restaurant anyway. read more

I went a few weeks ago and dined in. At the end of lunch, in addition to the cost of the meals, I paid about 18% in fees (15% the owner charges for "having to change the menu" and 3% for using my debit to pay). Although the 15% was listed at the very bottom and in small letters of the menu, this is not something that I have ever been charged for at a restaurant before so I did not look, nor even consider it a possibility. Doesn't matter that this is a hole in the wall, if you're planning to charge your customers for "a new menu", up-charge the individual meals (reasonably), don't charge an additional 15% to every customer. For my tab, that was a whole meal. I paid close to $77. And given the total of my meal, how is it that I still paid 3% just to use my debit? Definitely not going back.

Food is good. Portions are always satisfying. I have eaten in and had take out from this place. I would say take out is our preference. But the wait is always longer than they tell you. Just be prepared. The team in the kitchen is the mom and grandma so be patient because this is a family restaurant. Great way to get some home cooking at reasonable prices! It's not the best food you'll have but it's definitely home cooking that will satisfy your Caribbean food craving. We usually get alcapurrias, pork chops, pollo a la plancha or steak a la plancha and have no complaints there. read more

Placed a order over the phone for lunch. Food was ready in the estimated time given. Once I arrived the place was pretty quiet and had lots of open seating. The lady at the register was nice and professional. Lower star rating based on food not service or environment. The meal seemed rather salty compared to other similar restaurant I tried. read more

Had never had Puerto Rican food so i decided to give this place a try. Since i didn't know what to order, the waiter recommended alcapurrias and they were pretty big and good. The toston was even bigger and way better, the pork meat was very well marinated and the avocado gave it a wonderful flavor. The guava with milk drink was fantastic. If in the area, you should give this a try. I know I will try to make it back again. read more

The food was authentic and amazing! My husband ordered the fried pork with the skin (don't remember the actual name of the dish) and I had the Tostonazo Carne Desmechada. We also ordered empanadas, and got two more to-go after realizing how good they were. For drinks we both got the agua Jamaica which tasted so freaking good. The service was great, though some of the employees did not speak English we still were able to communicate really well. Everything seasoned very well and the food was priced perfectly. We definitely will be back! read more

Food is great. I've been there about two times now and both times my food was good. First time I had the Mofongo de chicharrón. Second time I ordered Dominican rice and beans with stewed chicken. The restaurant is small and plain, but I go there for the food. It's definitely worth trying! I believe they have Dominican, Puerto Rican Colombian and Mexican food. read more

La Casa Del Mofongo - Mofongo - Dominican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Being from PR is hard to find places that have our favorites in out side of town. Heard about La Casa Del Mofongo, and gave it a try on Sunday afternoon. It was completely empty when we arrived, service was good, and they cooked everything from scratch. Everything came to our table at the same time. We had mofongo with creole shrimp, with garlic shrimp and with fried pork. The consistency of the plantain in the mofongo was authentic. Soft, and well seasoned. For alimony it felt we were home. The owner came to check on us a couple of times, and spoke to us before we left. I will come back to try the Colombian food as well! Thank you! read more

Delicious food service , excellent ambiance with karaoke live music Musi on the weekend

Funny, how this was our first time here and not one of use ordered the Mofongo! Smh The food was actually very good. I had the chicharrón de cerdo and it was nice and crispy. The rice and beans were good as well as the tostones. Why 2 stars? No unlimited refills......I always take away a star when a restaurant doesn't offer unlimited refills. I took away another star because the customer service was pretty slow and it was hot hot hot in there.....as if the AC wasn't working. Finally, the last star is because the bathrooms looked like old dirt road gas station bathrooms...... Sorry, that's just inexcusable. I considered taking off another star for the zombie movie that was playing that had some guy ripping a chunk of his face off while I was trying to enjoy my lunch, but I figured that 2 stars was bad enough. read more

Conozco la casa del mofongo desde el 2017 y para ese tiempo vendían buena comida y l@s meseras eran más educadas y amigables,regrese en el 2022 y todo lo que pedimos estaba horrible. el pernil que me dieron estaba podrido y recalentado de hacen días, el 'mofongo' horrible, sabe más a mantequilla que otra cosa, el arroz seco... Las meseras son unas arrogantes que no le puedes preguntar por algo por que se molestan.. para eso trabajan! Bueno es todo. No volvemos a ese restaurante más... read more

Great hidden location for PR/DR food and more. I ordered all in the photo, chuletas, arroz y habichuelas, tostones w/garlic and was happy. Get in here ASAP! It is a small biz that can get overlooked in this franchise, fast-paced society! read more

4 stars for the banging food and that's it! The server seemed bothered or idk but she was a little weird. The food though made up for the lack of service, hole in the wall type of place. read more

Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, I have had many chances to eat Mofongo. This place is as original as it could be with very good flavor. Portions are almost too large but manageable and price is very reasonable. I expected to pay over $15 dollars per plate but was pleasantly surprised when I saw the menu. If you care for mofongo with garlic and pork grind mashed together, you can order plain for much less than $10 or you can get your choice of meats included next to the mofongo for about $10. We had the fried yuca and empanadas as side items and they were great. read more

This place has hidden costs, and several percent up-charges which are hidden from the menu prices. My wife had chicharrones which had a slimy texture to them (spoiled). She spoke to the owner and he was very rude, condescending, and blamed his shady cost practices on the pandemic. SMH....Customers beware! read more

The food here is delicious, great portions and the prices are fair. I would give it 5 stars but the place smelled like a mixture of incense and moth balls. The customer service wasn't horrible but it could be much better. read more

Mofongo was great. Nicely seasoned. Restaurant is in a sketchy looking area but the waitress was super nice. Service was slow but worth the wait. read more

There are pros and cons to this review. The cons: Small restaurant with no showing off what kind of restaurant it is. Dark doors (and windows?) and a sign-up above. I feel pictures of their dishes in the window should be presented and the restaurant to look more festive outside. The parking lot is small and you'd have to squeeze into some parking areas and watch out for cars passing by. Also, it's not in the greatest area either. That's the reason why it has 4 stars instead of 5 stars. The pros: I'm Puerto Rican from Long Island, N.Y., and have been to PLENTY of Spanish restaurants in my life, and let me tell you; the dish we bought took me home. We had pernil with sweet plantains and Spanish rice which was DELICIOUS! Everything was sooo good. I wish the portions were bigger, but that's me. I'm definitely going to recommend them and definitely go back again real soon. Also please pick a bigger and better location. Your food is worth it.

Everything I tried here was great. The chicharrón was perfectly tender and crispy. Very well seasoned. The fufu was delicious. The alcapuria was the BEST! honestly the beat I've had. The arrows con gandules was decent. The sanconcho was huge and full of veggies. read more
