MOFONGO'S RESTAURANT – Spanish
On Calle Ocho, in the middle of Little Havana, twin brothers Omar and Jose Colon have run a Puerto Rican kitchen since 2018. The name is an instruction: order the mofongo, or the trifongo that folds yuca in with the plantain. Around it sit bacalaitos, sorullitos, churrasco and the towering chuleta kan kan, with arroz con gandules alongside and tropical cocktails from the bar. Live music turns the room loud and celebratory. Diners keep coming back for the size of the plates and for island cooking done straight. Little Havana with a Boricua accent.
