Ham Croquettes
Soojin K.

It took 20 minutes to get greeted by our server and asked if we wanted waters. After that, he was good. The ham croquettes were warm and addicting, and the mashed yuca with garlic sauce was good too. The lechon was a bit dry. The sandwich was delicious. The ambiance was what I expected.

Awesome place! Located in old historic norcross! Walking distance to many cute fun places! I love when there is a festival going on. I can get a refreshing mojito and take it for a stroll! Although I think the cup has a hole in it because the libation goes away so fast. The flavors here are big. And you will feel full! I personally love the tamal! Churrasco is also top of my list. The avocado salsa is to die for! I always get good service!

Solid local spot and my favorite restaurant on the strip. There is a good selection of Cuban food and nice outdoor seating options. Service is friendly and there's also a lunch menu available M-F.

Enjoyed a team dinner at Mojitos on a Tuesday evening. We enjoyed the Yuka fries and empanadas to start! Delicious. Also the squash soup, baked rice and chicken(enough for two), seafood and more. They have live music certain nights and BOGO happy hour.

We've been here a few times whenever we travel to the area and the food is always excellent. We always seem to come when it is raining outside, so the cozy atmosphere is nice to escape to. My mother-in-law is Cuban and a good cook, so we have high standards, and are never disappointed with the food here. Definitely recommend!

Such a romantic low lit spot to go out to eat! There is a full bar and the ambiance is very romantic and charming. It was slow this time of night and got a table right away. Our server was nice and cordial. For starters we got tequeños and empanadas assortment. Tequeños are like cheese filled croissants. Those are always a hit! Empanadas we're yummy with the avocado sauce. The plates were a churrascho which was a perfectly grilled juicy steak. Chicken ala plan ja which was juicy and not dried out. Vaca Frita was a tasty shredded beef plate and the steak bistec was flavorful. Overall a wonderful bang for you Buck. Also they are known for their mojitos which are fabulous!

Guantanamera salad -- one portion, plenty for three people!
Meredith R.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I vacillate between two and three stars but feeling magnanimous -- plus I like the staff -- I go with three. Having a range of places to consider for my birthday dinner, I chose Mojitos, thinking about their (formerly) wonderful paella. ^^^ Don't let my photo of the paella fool you. The kitchen spent more time "styling" the dish than in preparing it. A couple of big shrimp, a few mussels (two of which had closed shells), two crab claws and a few pieces of plantains were strategically placed on top of a mound of rice big enough to feed the whole restaurant. Chunks of pork were tough and flavorless. Minced chicken and seafood, indistinguishable and likely frozen, interspersed with the rice. A big NO! ^^^ Their white sangria -- used to be my favorite - is now some pineapple juice concoction. Really? ^^^ What saved the meal: Guantanamera salad of field greens, carmelized pecans, diced pears and feta cheese with a delightful guava and sherry vinaigrette. One portion is enough for three even four people as a starter. Our waiter was friendly and on-the-ball. The manager, very nice and solicitous. (She made adjustments because of the paella.) But this was hardly a birthday dinner. I want a recount! Later this week, we'll go to Bacchanalia! Now THAT will be a birthday dinner!

Stuffed Rice
Jen L.

We've been here twice and found it through Yelps amazing reviews. These reviews are spot on!! We loved it!! The Mojitos look amazing and the food is even better! They also have a kids menu. I ordered the Stuffed Rice both times which comes with Tostones and Avocado salad. The Stuffed Rice has multiple layers of yellow rice, cheese and shredded white meat chicken. It's delicious!! My husband ordered the Ropa Vieja which he said tasted great but the meat was a little tough. The plantains and white rice and black beans were all delicious as well. The service was amazing!! Multiple people were checking on our table and providing refills, napkins, etc. There's free parking right outside the restaurant. We went in and were seated right away for lunch on the weekend. I'd highly recommend this restaurant!!

Vaca Frita
Kay R.

I visited Mojito's with a group of friends. This was my first time at this location. I visited the one in Peachtree Corners years ago. We started out with the plantains and empanadas. These were delicious, and I wished I had stopped there. I selected the vaca frita for my main course, and I was not wowed by it. I expected a flavorful meal with seasoning, and this meal fell short. Thank goodness for the rice and beans and food conversation. Most of our party took the rest of their food to go. I didn't hear any wow responses to the various meals (oxtails, old clothes, stuffed rice). Our server was nice and attentive, and the restaurant is quaint and attractive. Unfortunately, it would not be at the top of my list for a revisit.

Marquita's.  Super yummy
Dennis G.

Second trip here. I would have give it 5 stars first time, but this trip was a little off. And just so you know, Mojitos is a 40 mile drive for me, so it had to be good. First, this is a Cuban restaurant and prides itself on authenticity. Drinks are tasty and strong. We had the Marquitas appetizer pictured, both trips. Plantain chips loaded with chicken, cheese, black beans, and more. Super yummy and a meal in itself. Last trip we both had paella's. Huge portion, generous on the protein. I definitely recommend. This trip, we both opted for sandwiches. Also both very good. So here are two things that went wrong on second trip. First, it was easily 15 minutes before we saw a waiter. Not even a glass of water. Service was on point after that, so normally I probably wouldn't bring it up. But what really bothered me was I chose the avocado salad as my side. It was basically guacamole with a little extra tomato and maybe onion. AND it came out grayish-green. I'm a guacamole fiend. I get it every chance I can and even make it at home. It absolutely has to be made fresh. If you can't, don't serve it. I tried a few bites anyway, but it had that overly mushy texture and musty flavor that I couldn't handle. This was the only item I've had there in either trip that didn't deserve a top rating. Shame on the kitchen for serving it. I'll go back though. But I was hoping to get the manager's attention with the review, and let everyone know to avoid the guacamole salad

Had lunch first time at the restaurant in early June. Ordered the Cuban sampler for lunch and shared the croquetas with my daughters. My oldest daughter and I ate the most of them and my youngest had one bite. Within 30min I had the worst case of food poisoning in my life at 9 month's pregnant. My daughters had hives. My oldest had hives all over her body. Went to the emergency room just because it was causing major discomfort for a week and a half! Called this place several times on different days. Left messages for the manager to call me back so I could find out what ingredients that used because we never had a reaction like this before to Cuban food at a restaurant. They never called back or even showed that they cared. Last time I called, the manager couldn't speak with me because they were at some event in Norcross. Beware... if you get sick, they don't care....

Ropa Vieja
Erin S.

We had a party of 2 at 7:45 on a Friday night, 2/25/22. We didn't have to wait, but it was still packed! Here's what we got: - Ropa Vieja ($16): Pretty good. The plantains were amazinggggg. - Cuban Sandwich ($12): My husband said it was good, but not the best he's had. Service was good and quick! Overall, decent food, good portions, reasonably priced. We do think there's better Cuban in the area though.

Mojito's Sampler
Kendell M.

This place is definitely a must if you are in Norcross. The food was outstanding and the place has a cool atmosphere, especially in the evenings. We started off with the Mojito Sampler. I would recommend for individuals who want to try a few different things on the menu, but I would not order again simply because most of the items can come with your meal. My favorite item was the ham croquettes. They are fried just right and were probably the best I have had in Atlanta to date. Highly recommend! For the main course, I ordered the Palomilla Steak and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The parsley/onion mix on top was not overbearing and the lime added the right amount of flavor. It came with white rice and black beans (which I mixed) and plantains on the side. These were the perfect addition to the steak. Others in my party ordered the Picadillo and the Stuffed Rice and they said both dishes were delicious. One person did say they wanted a little more flavor from the Stuffed Rice, but then proceeded to add lime and said it really helped. The Cuban bread does not really have a flavor, but is airy and light and perfect for soaking up the little remnants that you may have left of your meal. I will definitely be coming back to Mojito's!

My wedding at Flint Hill had two different stories: The wedding day was fantastic, but the planning…read morewas a nightmare. I suspect the positive reviews reflect the former. I will share advice that I wish I had received before making a 50% deposit. My rating is based on the planning. The day of would get 4 stars. - We were glad we had an outside wedding planner to be our ally. If you've never planned an event like this, you might not realize that you can easily be taken advantage of. - They provide a lot of staff on the day of the event, but some of them were people we had never met. We had an eight-minute call with our "Day of Reception Director" the week before the wedding. She is a part-time (weekends) employee who doesn't even have a company email address. - We were dazzled by Melissa's sales pitch. She spent 2 hours with us when we came in for a tour and it was great. We thought she would be a great ally in this process. She was super friendly and helpful through the contract process until we paid 50%. - We needed to read every version of the updated invoice to catch price changes. The price of our dessert was $9 until one day it was $9.50. They charged us $150 for early arrival with a $150 credit to cancel it out. One day that credit had changed from $150 to $2. Laura from the design studio "accidentally" increased the price of some tablecloths by $5 each. - Their contracts sometimes expire after two days, and they said we needed to sign before getting answers to our questions. This happened with 2 contract addendums. We asked questions. Melissa said "Any specific detail changes to this contract will be handled in the extended planning sessions." - They marginalized me while behaving towards my husband. We had a recurrent problem where I would send an email, no response, husband reminds them, and they respond quickly. One time they ignored my email for five days. When he replied to my note, they responded to him within the hour. I don't know if it's because he's a man, he makes more money than I do, or they simply didn't like me. - If we didn't get it in writing, they often denied it. There are numerous topics that I am certain we discussed verbally but unfortunately I didn't have it in writing. With the issue mentioned above, they insisted we never discussed it, and they only agreed to do it because we found written confirmation. - We needed to spend at least $2,000 at their design studio, but we didn't have any trouble exceeding the minimum. We had very minimal design requirements, brought in an outside florist for the bouquets, and our initial quote was over $1,900, not counting the $700 tablecloth rental. - Menu changes come with an upcharge. You only get to put out one salad dressing. If you want your guests to have a choice, there is an $0.50 per person. Mashed potatoes come with no toppings. Want to add something as simple as sour cream or chives? One dollar per person for each topping. - We paid more than 80% of the adult rate for children aged 4-9. Children starting at age 10 are charged full price. The menu says "reduced rate" for children, but the aren't mentioned until much later in the process. They get a 20% discount on the base price for the buffet, but they are full price for drinks, dessert, and add-ons. I don't know if they would also be charged 100% for drink packages with alcohol. - We had to convince them to let us have a menu tasting. They offered us a "tasting box" with six items from another event's menu but only one or two from our menu. None of these options had our main dishes included. They said the point of a tasting box is to understand the quality of the food, not our specific menu. I want to thank Kristin, the CEO, for her help. Two months before our wedding, she allowed us to switch from the Atrium to Flint Hill (for a cost of $3,500) The change in venue couldn't fix corporate policies and staff difficulties though. I can honestly say that planning this wedding was one of the worst experiences of my life. Good luck, future brides and grooms.

This is a review I hoped I would not have to write, because the day of our wedding was really quite…read morebeautiful. Our second event coordinator Jessica was great (she took extra care to provide a special meal to a family member), and the CEO Kristin did speak directly with my wife during the planning process to ensure mounting concerns were heard. Unfortunately, facility leadership chose to describe my wife's concerns as "misunderstandings which were limited to our experience with you," a characterization that is neither accurate nor fair to us or those who read these reviews. Bottom line up front: If you choose A Divine Event, keep a close eye on every budget line item in the evolving invoice process. The following facts, based on documentation, are not misunderstandings: 1. Our first event coordinator replied negatively or vaguely to most e-mailed questions we had about menu alterations, tainting our experience early on. Answers later evolved as a much more attentive coordinator (Jessica) took over. If you choose to have an event with A Divine Event, I suggest in-person or virtual meetings (with written minutes) if you find it hard to convey ideas (as I did) over email. 2. It was not our misunderstanding but a fact that a new invoice showed desserts suddenly increased $.50 per person. (This was fixed after we caught it.) 3. It was not our misunderstanding but a fact that a $150 early arrival fee credit became only a $2 credit. (This was fixed after we caught it.) 4. It was not our misunderstanding but a fact that tablecloths increased inexplicably by $5 with a new invoice. (This was fixed after we caught it.) 5. It was not our misunderstanding but a fact that 11 days before the wedding we were emailed that a draft of our large "Welcome sign" would be ready to review "within the next week" after we had discussed it for months (This was fixed after we caught it.) In the end, Laura and her team created a beautiful sign....If only we could have been spared the stress! While none of these invoice changes or communication challenges ruined the day, they were annoying changes in documentation (not misunderstandings) that undermined our trust in the company. Some other facts (not misunderstandings) that degraded the experience: 1. As the process proceeded, my emails were consistently answered much faster than my wife's emails. I hesitate to mischaracterize this pattern, but it existed and is objectively demonstrable. 2. We looked forward to take-home goodies that included each item from the buffet. Mahi Mahi was the main dish but we were not given any. Additionally, within our take-home basket were mini, 8oz waters. After all we spent, it seemed odd not to get a sample of the main dish and not even full bottles (16oz?) of water. Better to leave the water out! Maybe this one is just a pet peeve and, again, not a big deal, but it was one last annoying straw. 3. It is a fact that our first contact with our "day of" wedding coordinator was via email only 9 days before the event, and our only call with her (8 minutes) was 6 days before the event. This key individual should be involved in earlier planning sessions. 4. It is a fact that there continue to be questions if on-site security (which we paid for) was present during our daytime events, and not just that evening for a different event. Did any of these issues ruin the day? Absolutely not. Flint Hill is a beautiful facility and we appreciate the work of staff who worked hard to make the day a reality. But are these issues simply my wife's misunderstandings? No. And unfortunately my rating must represent the majority of the experience and not just the day itself. If you choose to plan a wedding with this company, view the planning process as a business transaction (which it is), reviewing each line item and document, document, document.

THE FOOD was just wonderful. It was fresh, hot and abundant. THE STAFF was delightful...ready to help with absolutely everything we needed. CHEF DAVID was the icing on the cake. He was full of personality and moved table to table interacting with those in attendance. He truly spread Christmas joy. We have never had an experience like this (and we do at least 2-3 events a year). This was his 5th event for the day and they all seemed fresh and happy to be there. He has 5 stars on all his reviews for a reason. I highly recommend and will be using him again.

Chef David Catering - the food and the staff - is OUTSTANDING! I'm writing a five-star review…read morelong-distance from Washington, DC, as Chef David and his assistant Lisa went above and beyond to make Mother's Day special for an extended family of 12. One week before Mother's Day, the beloved mother of my best friend died very unexpectedly at home in the Atlanta region. With Mother's Day on the horizon, the only way that my friends and I here in DC felt that we could bring some joy to the family while celebrating their mother was through food... and we decided to cater a meal for everyone on Mother's Day. I did some research, and picked up the phone and called Chef David Catering. A lovely woman named Lisa answered the phone. I took that as a good sign, as my name is Lisa as well. I explained the situation, and asked if they would be able to provide a meal for 12? She said that the typical minimum party order was 25 people, but that Chef David would make an exception based on this particular circumstance. I also was very well aware of how hard it is to source certain ingredients during this COVID-19 pandemic, so I told Lisa that I didn't even have a menu in mind, but could she please speak with Chef David to see what he'd be willing and able to prepare? The next day, Lisa sent me a menu of: - Pan Seared Chicken with Gravy - Baked Salmon in Lemon Dill Sauce - Mixed Vegetables - Wild Rice with Cranberries and Almonds - Mixed Green Salad served with Ranch and Vinaigrette Dressings - Rolls and Butter - Strawberry Shortcake The menu sounded amazing, and I approved it immediately. This afternoon (Mother's Day), Lisa called me to say that Chef David was already on his way to the family's house, and gave me details about the beautiful Strawberry Shortcake cake to share with the family. Chef David arrived at the exact time he promised, and told the family that he'd even made an extra pan of mashed potatoes for everyone to enjoy. A couple of hours later, I heard from my friend, expressing her sincere thanks for the DELICIOUS MEAL, that was above and beyond what her family had expected. It was enjoyed by everyone. Particular favorites were the Baked Salmon and the Wild Rice. There were still plenty of leftovers for them to enjoy over the coming days... but that the lovely cake was devoured by all! THANK YOU Chef David and Lisa for bringing joy back to this family through your delicious food! It was truly appreciated! :)

The chefs tout fifteen years of Japanese culinary experience. The meal itself consists of a side salad (ginger dressing), hibachi vegetables, fried rice, homemade dipping sauce (teriyaki, yum-yum), and 2 proteins of their choice (tofu, chicken, jumbo shrimp, NY strip steak, scallops). There is an extra charge for filet mignon and lobster. My friend hired Hibachi Furano for a recent milestone birthday in her backyard for a dozen guests. Our chef was the consummate professional, and we were thoroughly entertained with sake squirts, flying spatulas, and the fire shaker show. All of our vegetables and proteins were well cooked and seasoned. Once the experience was over (about ninety minutes), our chef discreetly and quickly cleaned up his workstation and slipped out without disrupting the party. I am going to have to find a reason to hire Hibachi Furano for a future event. We had a blast and working with Hibachi Furano was hassle-free.

We recently celebrated a milestone birthday in our home for 2 dozen guests. Our Chef, Jerry, arrived a half hour before start time, setup and was ready for showtime lightning quick. After we riled up the group, Jerry did his thing and it was just like being in a Hibachi Restaurant. Salad with ginger dressing, fried rice, super tasty vegetables and then the entrees. I'm a self professed snob when it comes to food and this was delicious. I had Filet and Scallops, my wife had Shrimp & Scallops. I also got a chance to try the strip steak. The cooking was in point, the filet was so tender and juicy and the sauce was flavorful without being too salty over shadowing the meat. Anyone that knows seafood knows how easy it is to overcook shrimp and scallops. This seafood was perfection, melt in your mouth good, not one bite tough or chewy. When the show was over, Jerry cleaned up with extreme efficiency and slipped out without disrupting the ongoing event, leaving no trace of his presence, other than the smiles on everyone's face. This service is an excellent value and I will find a reason to use them again. The setup is the equivalent of a six foot table and the chef just needs standard work around space to operate and get to your guests. Timely, efficient, cleanly and expertly prepared food. I recommend Hibachi Furano and Chef Jerry.

The servers were so helpful, friendly, and joyful during and before event. There were even three chefs, one of them a head chef, actually in attendance making food at the party. After the party, I found out that DeSilva even made a lot of custom orders for the party guests. Positive critique from the party attendees was that some of the food was cut too large to eat in one bite and they were not served with silverware such as the salmon shooters. The negatives: the owner missed her appointment to view our space, then showed up late to the reschedule appointment, and showed up at the start of the party. The owner's response was that she was bringing the hot food and wanted to show up as close to the party start as possible to keep the hot food hot. Showing up at the start of the party did not give us time to inform her of a few changes we made. We had purchased additional food to serve as sides to their passed hors d' oeuvres because there was lot of concern from our HQ the closer we got to the party about alcohol consumption, and concern from our employees about being full. We were going to put this out ourselves but the chefs from the caterer insisted that they would put the food out for us. I don't want to really go into it, but they put our food out so late and in such a small quantity that I feel like it was a power move by the chef to make sure their food received a spotlight. We should have served our sides ourselves as planned because our people love that type of stuff. There was a lot of waste. Part of our event package was pre-packaged to-go boxes for our guests which were to include cupcakes and macaroons. We received 150 cupcakes which received mixed reviews, some extremely good and some not, but no macaroons. We do appreciate the owner attempting to make it right by bringing fresh macaroons for our holiday lunch (arrived after the lunch) but we only received 47 boxes with two macaroons in each. Our headcount for the party was 150 people, the owner's response when asked if there were 150 macaroons was "I didn't know how many people you have". Also, one box of 2 was missing, and one box only had 1 macaroon in it. I don't think the desserts were worth $3k. The most aggravating issue was that we were charged $500 for cleanup and breakdown and the catering company did not clean up. They brought a grease fryer to cook the food and did not clean up the greasy floors that were caused by using the appliance, 10 over-full trash bags were left leaking all over the floor, the food that was dropped during preparation wasn't attempted to be picked up. They somehow used up all of our cleaning supplies without actually cleaning. The owner's response was that she was told (by someone who was not their point of contact) not to worry about cleaning and that we have a cleaning crew that would come clean the following day. They had been using this person as a point of contact instead of calling me because they "saw I was having a good time". I did not get to join the party until after 8pm, even then I was available to all of our vendors the entire time. She also said that she didn't know if there was a mop. Any of us could have provided this. The catering team was gone within an hour of the party ending. Leaving without telling me even though they did see me to ask me if I liked their cupcake. My team had to come in and clean the filthy nightmare that they left the next day. So in the end, would I recommend DeSilva's Kitchen? Yes, but with caution. The food and service was great, and your guests will enjoy them. However, you may be incredibly frustrated behind-the-scenes.
