Honestly, I don’t have much to say about this establishment. The staff is friendly, for the most part, but the food is devastatingly flavorless. I ordered the mofongo with shrimp and garlic sauce. I didn’t realize that the garlic sauce was literally just garlic and butter without seasoning, but even after swapping that out for a side of red sauce, the dish was bland, especially the mofongo itself. I’m not sure if it’s a cultural decision to not use seasonings outside of salt and pepper, but this is not something I was happy I spent my money on. The salad was made only of romaine lettuce and shredded carrots and I was given a regular store bought dressing on the side. I don’t feel like that even warrants a picture and the one I did include speaks for itself by leaving much to be desired-you can see even the shrimp isn’t seasoned. I certainly wouldn’t eat here again.

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF GOING HERE PLEASE THINK AGAIN!!!!!!! El mofongo was horrible! The service even wrose! I got mine with chicharron de puerco and my husbands with chicharron de pollo,they both tasted as if they were pollo. The mofongo tasted like tostones de caja and it had a horroble off taste. Also we ordered arroz con gandules and the rice was PINK!😳 To pay they up charged if it was with card and for just 2 platetters way to pricey! Really we waisted our time and came out with a horrible expirience!

Horrible!! Never ever coming back and I don't recommend it to anyone! 1st she overcharges me and when I told her, she took $1 from her purse and gave it me. Excuse me but it was more than $1 plus I paid you tax on the amount you overcharged me! Then I noticed I didn't get my salad, she says it's $3 more, not according to the menu! It clearly says Mofongo comes with salad! I tried to tell her but not worth arguing with her. So I get to the car and taste my meal and it's friggin cold!! I just got it and it's cold!! Really!! It also tastes like bitter garlic and the plantain taste like it's old and stale! I felt like going back in and just giving it back but my boyfriend said it wasn't worth it, just never go back. Good advise. People, don't go there if your looking for a tasty meal. Not eating this, leaving it out for a stray animal. La comida es horible. Nunca mas!! Deberian de tener verguenza sirviendo comida tan horible!!
