I found this gem while walking Little Havana. The front immediately catches your eye with a big pilon in the front. I was very excited to see a Puerto Rican restaurant in Little Havana. 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. read more

BEWARE. SCAM - We chose this spot to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday, but the service at the end left a bad impression. 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. read more

We ordered the food from here, and I was excited. I used to eat Mofongo in NYC both at restaurants and from chefs. This was no comparison at all. The mofongo was dry and tasteless. They did not even provide sauce that normally accompanied the dish - every time that I ate this in NYC. This might be their own version, but I did not like it. I cannot comment on the service or ambiance of the venue. But I do not recommend this place, because the mofongo did not taste like it should. read more

A must try if you are visiting the Little Havana! The staff was friendly and attentive, the restaurant has a rustic vibe and they play great music. We ordered some stuffed tostones and short rib mofongo. The tostones were a bit dry but the stuffing was delicious, a good mix of shrimp, ckn and steak. Now the short rib mofongo was to die for! Meat was tender and flavorful. My piña colada was delicious too. Will definitely come back! read more

Be aware if you are 5 min late they will cancel your reservation leaving you without another option of just walking away

Food was delicious. Good prices on the happy hour menu served through out the restaurant not just at the bar. Service was attentive with several employees checking in on us not just our server. The ambiance is so much better than what is used to be at the old location. It's bright and airy and has a big screen tv with pictures of the beaches in PR. Also has an upstairs for additional seating. Came on a Friday evening and was able to get a table for two (before 6 pm). May get busier later on, tho. We enjoyed it very much and look forward to telling our friends about the updates! read more

Came here to kill time before my delayed flight that got canceled. My daughter didn't like her octopus salad. My other daughter vomited and felt sick from her steak and onions. The mofongo in my stuffed chicken was hard and needed more flavor. Also I didn't realized it was wrapped in bacon which I didn't favor. I like that they had pieces of pork in the rice, it was tasty. I tasted my daughter's guava cheesecake, it had a nice smooth soft texture. The server was great and my mojito drink was top notch, but the food was not. I noticed the receipt was extra high, they added a service charge without my knowledge. I had to see itemized receipt to find out. If I ever come back here again, I'll stick with just drinks and maybe try another dessert, but definitely skipping the meals. read more

We went here for Father's Day and had a great time. This is apparently a new location for this restaurant and it was large and beautiful. We started with Bacalaitos Fritos which were fried to perfection. Then we each ordered stuffed mofongo (I had the lobster one), and it was a ton of food and delicious. They had a few different sauces to choose from. I had enough to take home for a full second serving. The server was super friendly. He did seem to forget about us after a while so we had to flag him down for boxes and our check, but otherwise it was good. The music got a little loud which was fine for us. It looks like this would be a fun place to go at night, as it looks like the have a DJ. We will definitely be back and plan to bring friends and family. Oh also just a note that it is a little "touristy" in that they had a photographer taking pictures which you could purchase. There was also someone selling blue flowers for Father's Day. Not sure how much of this was due to it being Father's Day or not. read more

We order arañitas, chicharrón de pollo, sancochito, mofongo, chuleta kankan, short rib, and piña coladas. We had a really good experience, we are glad we went back , we haven't been there in a longtime. The service was amazing, we were helped by a nice Cuban guy , I forgot his name...I was hangover...this good brought me back to life. Ambience was fun, great salsa music and friendly people. read more

Puerto Rican Power This incredibly lively restaurant is quite the Calle 8 icon. Though they don't serve the traditional Cuban cuisine of Calle 8, they do a great job representing the Puerto Rican community of Miami. The place is is bustling with people but they do a great job with turning the tables quickly. The interior is beautifully decorated and takes you to PR for just a second. Each dish is well made, the mofongo was fresh and creamy. Sometimes if it's old, it can get a bit dry, Mofongo clearly knows what they're doing. The steak was cooked to perfection at a nice medium rare temperature. This is a great place to take some tourists or your family for a fun time. read more

My husband heard about this restaurant a few months ago and we had been wanting to try it. We went for lunch at around 1pm. I ordered pastel and of course alcapurrias for appetizers. The alcapurrias I felt had hardly any meat in them. For lunch I ordered the Mofongo with Churrasco and I found that so good. It was delicious and I have no complaints. My husband ordered the Churrasco plate and we found that for $34.00 it was not worth it. He found the rice on the salty side and the churrasco was really small. We did wait a bit for the meal to arrive and the restaurant wasn't really that busy. But hey my meal was great so it was worth the wait for me. Service was good everyone was attentive making sure our glasses always had water. read more

Finally I got to visit Mofongo, we were at calle 8 for an event and looked them up and saw that they were open until 3am. So decided to walk there. When we the bouncer opened the door I had to ask if this was Mofongo because it was more like a club. No tables in sight. Walked in to an empty restaurant with a couple of customers. The first feeling I get is that you were at Frenchys in PR. Waitresses in thongs just standing around. They were only missing a pole in the middle. Walked to the bar with my wife and ordered two medallas. We went there to eat something. Eventually one of the dancers I mean waitresses came and told us that they could only offer us a picadera which to I reply don't worry about it. As I drank my beer I was expecting to hear " Violet to the Stage, Katy stand by" . As I ask for the check, 2 medallas $23 and change, make you felt like the putero vibes and prices. Hey standard beer prices in Miami, but at a Puertorican restaurant I was expecting maybe $8 per medalla. Se les fue el barco. Algarete.Debut y despedida para mi read more

Been here 3 times now and the Mofongo does not cease to amaze me! First time I had anything Puerto Rican and it is soooo good. I go for the Tri Mofongo with veggies. My meat lovers friends had the Mofongo with short ribs and were really happy too. The portion is a lot, so one Mofongo for 2 people is definitely enough. On the weekend there usually is a wait for the table, but you can just stroll down the street and listen to some live salsa music at one of the bars until your table is ready. I do wish there was some more vegetarian options other than the veggie Mofongo and a couple of apetizers, 'cause I want to try moooore! Pro Tipp: ask for their hot sauce, it's worth it! read more

Something different on Calle Ocho. This is Puerto Rican food. And it's pretty good. We were there on a busy day and luckily did not have to wait long for a table. Service, however, was pretty slow, maybe because the small place was so full. No water glass refills I ordered the stuffed tostones, with chicken and creamy garlic sauce. Delicious. Five come with an order, more than enough. I enjoyed my left overs the next day. My husband had the name-sake mofongo - mashed plantains with skirt steak (recommended by the waitress) served in a nice wooden bowl. He also had the creamy garlic sauce. Our neighbors urged us to get the chicken broth to add to the plantain - it took it to another level. Again, more than enough for one meal. read more

The decorations in the restaurant were very nice. The food was very good. Really enjoyed it. What we didn't enjoy was the absurd service charge that they add without telling you. We were only 4 people and they added a $25 service charge and then they also want a tip. They bring the little machine and you don't see this until you ask for a receipt. I find this to be tricky and deceitful. Not to mention that the tiny round flan was $9.00. That is quite steep for a flan. I liked it and the service was good and all but the service charge is absolutely abusive. read more

Mofongo - Trifongo and Pork Chunks - Puerto Rican Near Me - Miami, Florida

My friend dragged me here because she was in the mood for mofongo and although that is not my go-to-dish, I'm happy I gave the restaurant a try. They have has two outdoor hightop tables, one of which we occupied due to having a furbaby as company. The restaurant on the inside has a nice large bar and is very cute/kitch in the way most restaurants are on 8st. I ordered the carne frita which had good flavors and was juicy, it came with beans and white rice and was a large dish. My friend had the mofongo which she really enjoyed and definitely deserves an A+ for presentation. Overall, is this the most authentic choice for PR dishes? That remains questionable, but it is a cute option for something other than Cuban food while on Calle Ocho. read more

Excellent experience in this Puerto Rican menu restaurant sat at It's bar in the little Havana neighborhood. We started with an alcohol versión piña colada and cod fish appetizer they were ok, we shared a large mofongo-mashed plantain with shrimp in a pharmacy type mortar it was very tasty, filling & you should have a cup of water close by to drink from, we took home the uneaten portion. Were treated to an on the house coquito dessert drink excellent. The waiter was excellent & explained, calmly profesionally the menu as well had a long conversation with the manager. I guess we got lucky finding parking right on the main road SW 8 St. Nice ambiance with excellent decorations inside, we just walked in. Did search of best places to eat mofongo and found this place. read more

My sis,her 2 daughters, & myself had to kill time before our flight home(which ended up getting cancelled which is another story). My sis decided to go here(I wasn't too hungry to pick). Plus it was her turn to pick the restaurant we eat in next. We take turns. We walked in & got seated right away. It was a good vibe. Spanish music was playing(not too loud but just the right amount of volume).The staff was super friendly! I loved the way the inside was decorated. The walls had art on it. Although,we were in Little Havana(which is prominently dominated by Cuban restaurants) my sis chose this place. It is a Puerto Rican style restaurant. I wasn't hungry like that so I picked on everyone's food. My younger niece ordered octopus salad. It came w/ tostones as a side. My older niece ordered steak w/ white rice & red beans. My sister ordered chicken w/ monfongo(mashed plantains).It came w/ rice w/ gandules (pigeon beans)& a salad. Everything was tasty! I ordered a coconut mojito & my sis a passion fruit one. They were so good & had the right amount of alcohol. It wasn't bottom shelf rum neither b/c I can taste the difference. For dessert we ordered a guava cheesecake to share.The cheesecake was so delish! Not too sweet & the guava sauce on top gave it a punch. The waiter gave my sister & me 2 little shots of coquito for free(which tasted so good).Coquito is a Pr traditional drink usually made around the holidays. It kind of taste like eggnog but it's coconut cream/milk based w/ rum. Some ppl. Do put eggs in their coquito just like eggnog. Instead of nutmeg we use cinnamon & cinnamon sticks in it. It's a must try. If you're ever in Little Havana in Miami check this place out! read more

First time having Puerto Rican food and let me say I'm glad this was the place my wife chose. It's now my favorite cuisine and whenever we're in Miami, we'll have to stop here. The food here is absolutely delicious. There Mufungo is the perfect balance of all flavors which was WILD to me. I had never experienced salty, sweet, savory, acidity, spicy, and everything in between harmonizing together at one time. It was perfect! I ordered mine with pork belly and let me tell you. FANTASTIC! Crunchy on the outside; soft and tender on the inside. My wife enjoyed her traditional plate as well! The empanadas were juicy and flavorful and paired well with their version of hot sauce. Gotta get it! Wash it down with a draft MODELO and you'll be set! The service was amazing and the place was beautiful! They'll take your picture and for $20 you can it framed. The music was on point and the atmosphere was inviting. Will I eat here again?? Hell yeah! read more

The Mofongo de Camarones was a delightful blend of shrimp and mofongo, offering a harmonious dish that satisfied our cravings.

We couldn't resist the temptation of their signature Piña Colada, served creatively in a pineapple, a refreshing treat that we thoroughly enjoyed throughout the meal. While the food was undoubtedly delicious, I must mention that some dishes leaned slightly towards the salty side, which slightly impacted the overall enjoyment. Hence, my rating of 4 stars. Considering the generous portion sizes and the overall dining experience, the prices at Mofongo Miami remain reasonable, making it a fantastic value for money. We left the restaurant content with satisfied appetites and even had some leftovers to enjoy later.

My Boricua friends have been recommending this place if I want to try real Puerto Rican food. I have to say it's an explosion of flavor, and it did not disappoint. For me, trying Puerto Rican food for the first time, the mofongo was a little strong on garlic, but it was delicious. My boyfriend and I ordered the tostones rellenos mixtos, which were my favorite, then the mofongo de churrasco (it's giant, so as a tip, I would share it with someone), plato tradicional, which includes carne frita, arroz con gandules, and pastel. Then, to drink, we decided to go with their piña colada and Medalla beer, and of course, at the end, they offered us complimentary coquito, everything was great!! read more

I recently had a late dinner at this Puerto Rican restaurant, and it was an amazing experience. The food was 10/10, the music was great, and we felt very welcome as an LGBTQ couple. Our waiter was very friendly, and the manager personally talked to us to make sure we were having a great time. The drinks were also amazing. I live in New York and flew to Miami, specifically adding this restaurant to my itinerary. Although they do not accept reservations and it can sometimes be hard to get through on the phone, when they do pick up, they are very friendly. The prices were fair for the experience you get, and everyone here is really friendly. We spent a lot of money, but it was worth it. The Coquito was 10/10, and I highly recommend it. The restaurant felt cool inside, not too hot, which was very comfortable. They also had a photographer, and we paid to have pictures taken. I do wish the photographer's frames had the restaurant name/logo or a Miami frame, but other than that, it was perfect. I will 100% come back! read more

We had a 30 minute wait so we walked around then they seated us right away outside which was nice flavor of calle ocho. We had the trio mofongo - very moist and tasty. The garlic shrimp mofongo - the shrimp was tasty but the mofongo was dry and oily on the bottom. The mofongo we had in puento rico was much better. chicharrones were dry could have been more crispy and moist. It is better if you speak Spanish. read more
