Chicharrón ($14) - These were deep fried pork belly chunks and they were pretty much cooked perfectly.

If you're looking for bold Dominican flavors and a warm, welcoming vibe, Mofongo Factory absolutely…read moredelivers. We started with an oxtail dish served over mashed plantains, layered with pork, onions, and a blend of seasonings, all brought together with a rich, flavorful sauce. Every bite was tender, savory, and perfectly balanced, you can tell this is comfort food done right. We also ordered a side of crispy pork with yellow rice and beans, and it did not disappoint. The pork had that perfect crisp on the outside while staying juicy inside, and everything paired beautifully with the fresh vegetables on the side. Service really made the experience even better. Melissa, our waitress, was sweet, professional, and incredibly accommodating, she made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The ambiance ties it all together. The decor gives you that authentic island, Dominican feel, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Just a quick note: they serve beer and wine only, which still pairs nicely with the food. Overall, this was an amazing experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be back!

You look at the menu via QR code but someone comes around to take your order. Our waitress was really kind. My food was really tasty. However I will say our meats were cold for some reason, despite the rice and beans being piping hot. It felt like the meats were reheated from the fridge, but didn't quite get there. This did lose a star. But the sauce on top and the beans and rice all did offer lots of flavor, just wish it was hot. We were there pretty late on a Sunday and it was busy for it being smaller inside. Lots of people grabbing takeout orders and people eating around us too. Note: I've seen old pictures where food seemed to be scooped in front of you at the counter, but I did not see that in my recent visit. Not sure if this changed. What we ordered: -Churrasco, served with Garden salad, White Rice and Green Pigeon Peas -Full plate - White Rice with Red Beans, Res Guisado (Stew Beef) -Tostones

I really wanted to like this place. Ordered food from here…read morefor the first time, and I am more than disappointed. First of all, the prices for the portion is ridiculous. I ordered on Uber Eats and the food took almost two hours to get to me, and of course it wasn't hot. Bitez Sampler 3/10 Not worth the money Honey hot Wings barely have any sauce Lemon pepper wings were good Empanada was pretty much empty, and what was inside was cold and bland. Cheese fries is what got it an extra star, but more cheese was needed Traditional Yaroa 7/10 Not bad at all but could've used more chicken & sauce on the side Chicharron Quesadillas- 1/10 Barely any meat in the soggy quesadilla. Garlic tostones 4/10 Probably would've been better if they weren't hard and cold

I normally don't write reviews, but I had to say something because this experience was too…read moreconsistent to ignore. I've ordered from here multiple times, trying to give the benefit of the doubt but enough is enough. The last couple of times I ordered the pork chop dinner, the meat came undercooked, pink in the middle, especially the thicker parts. So this time, I left a respectful note asking for it to be cooked all the way through. Not only did they ignore the note, but they sent it burnt and dry, like it was done on purpose. And I know it was intentional, because there's a difference between well-done and spiteful. If this is how you treat paying customers who ask for basic safety and quality, then it speaks volumes about your business practices. How do you expect your business to prosper when you respond to honest feedback with pettiness instead of excellence? I don't owe y'all anything but my truth, and here it is: I won't be ordering again. I hope you figure out how to do better, because this ain't it.

I had no clue there was more than one Flames. I knew of the one in Providence because its close to…read moreme but I squealed when I saw there was one next to where I would be in the Boston area. My friend and I were looking for a place to get a good and filling meal before skating at Chez Vous and between the three options we narrowed it down to, this won. They have a parking lot for about 7 cars which was very convenient - street parking is also available but just more of a hassle. It smelled so good when we walked in. We tried to figure out the menu, but had some questions. After clarification, it made sense. They offer small, medium or large plates and vary in price depending on the type of meat selected. You can also add double meat or combine meats for an additional charge. We couldn't really see the food because of the condensation on the glass, but from the crevices, everything looked incredible which made it hard to decide. I would say there were about 20 different options of meats. I had never had ox tail before but I felt comfortable letting Flames do the honors of changing that so I chose that. I picked the rice with brown beans, steamed veggies, and oxtail. The really piled everything on. The prices are a bit high, with oxtail being the most expensive, but seeing that you can get two servings from a large plate, it doesn't seem so bad in the end. My friend had the yellow rice with curry chicken and cabbage salad. He also bought an Irish Moss drink which tasted a lot like egg nog. We had the food there. They have about 5-6 tables, each with two chairs, but or some reason the tables are all slanted down so just be careful of food or drinks sliding. The rice with brown beans was really good; midway through I tasted coconut and loved the sweet and savory combo. The ox tail was very tender and the sauce it was in was rich and tasty. The veggies were slightly over steamed but still good. My friend's curry was good. While eating we realized they sell patties as well as desserts; they have a case with these treats. I would recommend coming here for a freshly cooked and big meal. The customer service is also good. They had a sign on the bathroom that it was only for employees so just keep that in mind.

Solid Jamaican food. Always there when you need it. I typically stop by for a beef patty or jerk…read morechicken plate!
