It's no surprise that their rotisserie chicken has been labeled "the best in the Poconos." All dishes are made from scratch and reasonably priced. Menu Highlights~ Tender, roasted pork with yellow rice and beans is a cultural staple that is a popular item. Fried pork chops, grilled tilapia, and stew chicken are available in combo meals that include rice, beans, salad, and drinks. The traditional soup known as Sancocho is so good you need to taste it My favorite is some kind of steak sitting in just a brown sauce made in a miracle of seasoning, served over whit rice. You'll be in heaven eating this dish

La Parada is a medium sized Dominican restaurant with a wide variety of prepared foods in warmers, and even more menu items available upon order. We saw rotisserie chicken, beef stew, and pork ribs (among others) being kept warm at the counter... But the dish we chose was the PERNIL with yellow rice and beans. A home-made beef empanada would accompany that. The empanada was good (albeit a bit light on the filling), the yellow rice and beans were great, and the Pernil was phenomenal. One of the items they offer is mofongo! They said that requires 20 minutes to prepare, and we couldn't wait... But next time!!!

The seasoning here on all their items were great and on point. Definitely recommend a visit!

The food: I was in the area and was tired of the same food everywhere. Wife asked for latin and a few places came up. Since this one was on the way and only a 1 minute detour, it was the "chosen" one. Man, we were so glad to find this place. We ordered from the Family menu ITes, specifically #4. Chicharron de Pollo ( Chicken Crisps) with arroz con Habichuelas And Tostones. All was fresh except for the rice and beans obviously but delicious non the less. Their Mojo garlic sauce was too delicious not to lick my fingers while driving. ( please don't ticket me) The service was also on par. While not everyone speaks English, the ones that do try their best to make sure everyone understands each other. A family of 3 walked in and they sounded so "gringo" not in a bad way just in case but like they were just trying to figure out and dust off their basic Spanish. Y yo cause I'm fresh, i walked up to them and helped them out as if it was my place. On fridays they have Goat meat, so next time I'm in the area, i will make sure its on a weekend and visit the spot.

The quality of the food is consistently outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish tastes like it came straight from someone's kitchen, not a restaurant line, and that's exactly why I love it. When I'm here, I don't feel like I'm dining out... it feels like home cooking. The staff is another reason this place stands out. They are warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive in a way that makes you feel welcomed the moment you walk through the door. It's the kind of place where they remember you, smile at you, and make sure you're taken care of without hovering. If you're looking for comfort food, authentic flavor, and a place that carries the same energy as visiting family, Casa del Mofongo is it. One of my favorites in Bethlehem, hands down.
