Mofongo, kidney beans, rice, maduros, tostones, chicharrones.
Tony R.

Hole in a wall type of spot, but as we all know these type of places tend to be great. The place was pretty simple but who cares since the food is amazing. It simply blew me away with its flavors and large portion sizes. The staff was friendly and attentive as well. Some dishes are a which can be a bummer sometimes but well worth It here.

Tip: If you're looking for Mofongo and Trifongo, this is the place to go. La Casa Del Mofongo has made the list of family favorites. The customer service is great, the portions are generous and the food is excellent. We came for dinner and the place wasn't busy, however, a good bit of people came after us and it immediately became alive and poppin. There's a full bar inside the restaurant that you can sit and eat while having an adult drink or casual dine in, at the tables. Do yourself a favor and add this to your foodie list! ORDER: * Queen Frito * We ordered fried cheese which was amazing. I could eat a serving all to myself if I didn't have to share. I've tried fried cheese at other restaurants and this takes the cake. They brought out ketchup and a sauce that reminded me of ketchup mixed with mayonnaise (I've done this mixture to dip French fries in - don't ask just try it). The queso frito is good by itself or with either dipping sauce. * Trifongo * Trifongo is a go to for me. It didn't disappoint. The blend of smashed fried green plantains, fried sweet plantains, and boiled yuca; chef's kiss. It came with a delicious sauce that jazzed it up, however not needed if you're not into the sauce. Either way, it was good. * Bisteak * Another go to is bisteak. Beef married with sautéed onions and fresh rice was delicious. The beef was tender and flavorful. A side of beens came with this entree. The beans were nicely cooked. * Carne Asada * Juicy beef with raw sliced onions and rice. This is probably the best carne asada I've had. The fact it wasn't dry or drenched in a sauce to mask the dryness was pleasing. The beef was tender and as mentioned, juicy - yum! Accompanied by fresh rice. SIDES: * Yuca * Fried yuca is always good paired with any meal or by itself. DESSERT: * Flan & Tres Leches * My family is divided into team flan and team tres leches so we ordered a slice of both. You really can't go wrong with either or in my opinion. DRINKS * Mango Mojito & Bailey's Pina Colada * Both drinks were nicely made. They definitely weren't stingy with the alcohol and came in big glasses. Highly recommend having a drink with your meal. SERVICE: Excellent and patient while you explore the menu to decide what you want. Food corks out fresh and I love the fact the rice is covered until it's brought to you. LOCATION/FACILITY: This gem is nestled in a small business strip off 495 and Georgia Avenue. You can't miss it! PARKING: Public parking came be found next to the business strip off the Georgie Avenue. Free on the weekend. Otherwise be prepared to pay the meter. SEATING: Indoor tables and a full bar This place is a nice family or friend casual spot. The full bar and tv plying a sport game added to the casual atmosphere. There's also music that gets you feeling good as you enjoy your meal and sip on your adult beverage. The menu has a lot of options to pick from. I'll definitely be back to have more family and friend meals.

Mofongo de Camarones al ajillo  (Shrimp in garlic)
Lola W.

I've been looking for a place that serves Mofongo, because it is one of my favorites! I finally found this place and when I say it was GOOD, it was exactly what I was looking for outside of Puerto Rico! We ordered the shrimp Mofongo Al ajillo (with garlic). They have many other proteins to choose from like chicken and pork. The portion was just right, they have Mango juice, flan and tres leches cake. The service is quick and friendly! I will visit again for sure!

This is my second time experiencing Dominican food. And let me say im so glad my Saister recommended this restaurant. Us to try La casa da mofongo The food was simply delicious (I'll highly recommend) this restaurant. The food was fresh made to order when we walked in we felt like we was actually waking in to our families home. The restaurant was so clean very spacious available take out & dining in was available. Also customer service was warm & accommodating when we walking in we was immediately greeted. The lady that was our waitress was so nice & explaining the difference things on the menu. I was asking lot of questions like always. Lol everything looked so delicious I'm actually looking over the menu now to see what I'm going to order the next time. 10/10 will return

Fried chicken with rice and beans and stewed chicken with sweet plantains
Xavier I.

Ordered takeout during the lunch special and got fried chciken with rice and beans and a soda for 9$ and stewed chicken with plantains and a soda for 9$. My favorite of the two would be the fried chicken but the stewed chicken is also solid. The lunch specials pricing for the items is pretty great. The food is good and I would be open to getting it again.

This Dominican restaurant has proved to be the best restaurant that will make chicharon and mofongo. They have all the sauces you would want to eat your mofongo with, one of my favorite being the spicy mayonnaise and ketchup. They have a happy hour too that you might like to check out .

I Was Craving Some Real, Home-Cooked Food Like Rice, Beans, Just Something Filling & Comforting…read more Luckily, I Found This Spot On Yelp... And Wow, This Place Is A True Hidden Gem . I Feel Blessed & Grateful That I Came Across It. This Is Authentic Dominican Food Made By True Dominicans, And You Can Taste The Love In Every Bite. It Really Brings A Piece Of The Island Right Here To Maryland Just Minutes From DC . Parking Is Limited, But There Are A Few Spaces Directly In Front Of The Restaurant. The Space Is Small & Intimate, But Very Welcoming. It's Only Been About A Year Since They Opened, But It Feels Like A Place That's Been Around Much Longer Because Of The Love And Energy Inside. The Customer Service Here Is Top Tier!! It's Owned By A Husband & Wife "The Medinas" They Are Truly Special. So Warm, So Kind, & So Genuine. They Make You Feel Like You're Being Welcomed Into Their Home For A Meal. The Service Is Full Of Love & Care, You Can Feel Their Passion In Everything They Do. That Alone Would Bring Me Back... And Then The Food Just Seals The Deal Even More. WHITE RICE , RED BEANS , AVOCADO & GRILLED SALMON {Build Your Own Meal} EVERYTHING About This Plate Was Perfect!!!!! The Rice Was Cooked Just Right With The Perfect Amount Of Salt. The Red Beans Were Rich, Flavorful, & Surprisingly Had No Meat, Which I Loved. *So Many Places Add Pork, But Here They Automatically Cater To Different Dietary Preferences Without Sacrificing Flavor.* The Grilled Salmon Was Cooked Exactly How I Requested, Honestly Even Better Than I Expected. The Attention To Detail Was Impressive. And Of Course, The Avocado Brought Everything Together For That Perfect Final Touch, I Left So Full & Satisfied. EXTRA SIDES: TOSTONES WITH GARLIC Double-Fried, Flattened Plantains Lightly Salted And Topped With Garlic Oil (I Requested This And They Delivered). So Good & Perfect With The Rice & Beans. FRIED PLANTAINS Made Exactly How I Like Them, Sweet, Perfectly Fried, & Not Overly Sweet. CHEESE EMPANADA OMG The Cheese Pull Was Insane. Crispy Outside, Loaded With Cheese Inside, They Did Not Skimp At All, So Delicious. MALTA I Had To Get A Malta, A Traditional Dominican Drink That Paired Perfectly With My Meal. Sweet, Rich, & So Satisfying. I Had To Try As Much I Could To See What I Would Like & Everything Was Amazing. I Was Overwhelmed Yet Beyond Satisfied. Literally Everything They Make Is Delicious. Super Reasonable Prices With Plenty Of Options. Some Food Is Ready Buffet-Style While Other Items Are Made To Order. You Can Dine In Or Take Out But I Highly Recommend Sitting Down & Enjoying The Full Experience If There's Available Seats. This Place Is Something Special. Authentic Dominican Flavors, Amazing Hospitality, & Food Made With Real Love. I'm Definitely Going To Be A Regular Here As Much As I Can. I Truly Hope They Get The Recognition They Deserve Because This Place Is Truly A GEM .

I do appreciate I can build my plate to my preference. Pictured was the combination pork (braised & pulled) over rice and beans topped with gravy. Be mindful if you do not eat or desire a lot of rice to let the staff know; otherwise, you'll get a healthy serving of rice with your meal. To date I've eaten nearly every option they serve which are simply delicious. This restaurant is good to visit for all hours throughout the day and evening. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor patio spacing to accommodate groups and their customers. The music varies but I've heard my share of bachata played over the speakers. The owners and staff are committed to serving their customers. I do believe this is a family owned and operated establishment. For the first timers visiting you may order similar from behind the counter similar to chipotle or order made to order menu options such as the coconut cream fried red snapper over rice. They also have tasty empanadas. Overall 4.4 out of 5

The meal arrived two hours later and missing the entire entree of Mofongo. The beef was skirt steak from the Lomo Saltado recycled to "complete" this order and arrived dry and over cooked/seasoned. EMPANADAS on the menu is plural for more than one but only one was delivered. The only "right" thing that arrived was the maduros...with an aftertaste of fish. That means that they fried these plantains with recycled oil they fry fish with. I am Latino and know how this menu should taste and ALL OF IT is not Dominican food.

This place never disappoints…read more I've been here multiple times -- with family, on dates, and with friends -- and it's always a great experience. This most recent visit was with a friend who was trying it for the first time, and he loved it. The food was delicious as always. He had the arroz con pollo (which I recommended), and I had the camarones al ajillo -- shrimp in garlic sauce with rice, salad, and plantains. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The bartenders were so pleasant and attentive. We sat at the bar, and even though it was crowded (which it usually is -- a good sign!), the service was still great. Now let's talk about the drinks because they were the real stars:    *   My friend had three mango margaritas and couldn't stop talking about how good they were.    *   I tried the cucumber jalapeño margarita -- you could literally smell the fresh cucumber as they made it. It did not hold back on the jalapeño! It had a real kick, but the flavor was amazing.    *   And the mojitos? Delicious. They use real sugarcane, and you can taste the freshness. Great vibes, great service, consistently amazing food and drinks. I will absolutely keep coming back and always recommend this place.
