mofongos

this place is amazing. our friends brought us here and it was our first time trying puertoricanfood. we absolutely loved it and the server was great, such a nice guy. will definitely come back next time i'm in la.

mofongo is the national dish of puerto rico. basically, it’s a shell of fried plantains. you can think of them as bananas, even though they’re really not, mashed into a cup. that “cup” is then filled with chicken, beef or shrimp (your choice), and then the cup is turned upside down and covered in sofrito, which is a savory, spicy, traditional puertoricanbase of tomatoes, onions and herbs. you can think of it as salsa, even though, you know…it’s not.

the servers at mofongos were super welcoming to us. they were eager to explain about all the different dishes on the menu and offer suggestions since this was our first endeavor into puertoricancuisine. a flow of people were constantly coming in and out as we dined and we noticed that many people who had dined in, also left with several containers of take out. our server told us it was common for patrons to take home dishes home since most of them drive from all over because there are only three puertoricanrestaurants in all of la and orange counties. mofongos has the reputation of being the best and while we haven’t tried the other two, we loved our lunch and upon leaving, were eager to attempt a recreation at home. if you live in north hollywood, mofongos also offers delivery. for the rest of us, our options are to smash some plantains at home or venture to the north side when the craving for puertoricanfood strikes.

very good. the best food!and the music was nice the service was the best i had in a while, the guy and the dominican girl they were so happy and help for . is the best purtoricanfood i had in a long time.thank you mofongos : )

ever since i read about mofongos, la's only puertoricanrestaurant from the rants and crave blog , i've been wanting to try their food, especially the mofongo dish the restaurant is named for. so i gathered a group of curious diners from my dining group

comida sana!. we tried the mofongo the dish was good moist and seasoned to perfection! the pernil was succulent!
but the venue is tiny, so if you wish to get a seat, make a reservation! on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best it gets an 8!
this is the only game in town right now for puertoricanfood!
