AMAZING
1st MOFONGO DE CARNE FRITA
Mofongos, Los Angeles
Mofongo with fried pork chunks and maduros on the side. Soooooo good! That broth is wonderful.
2nd MOFONGO DE PERNIL
Mofongos, Los Angeles
This place has the best mofongos! Made from plantains and pork rinds. Lots of flavorful broth really elevates it. The pork had great seasoning and crisped edges
3rd MOFONGO DE LECHON
Mofongos, Los Angeles
Mofongo stuffed with seasoned pork. The pork is pulled, but still has some of those amazing crisp edges. Also served with maduros (fried plantains)
REALLY GOOD

PRETTY GOOD
5th MOFONGO & CAMARON W/ SALSA CRIOLLA
Taínos L.A., Los Angeles
I'm rating this as a mofongo dish. If I rated it as a shrimp dish, it would have failed since there are only two pieces of shrimp and they were overcooked. I'm sure it was carryover cooking since the dish had to be transported, but this is a ghost kitchen so there's no eating it there. That really needs to be taken into account since everyone is going to be transporting their dishes. The mofongos had a very good texture and good flavor, but I am used to having them filled with some delicious meat and usually a sauce or juice. There was very little criolla sauce and it didn't make a significant difference in the dish. Although the mofongo was tasty enough to eat all by itself, I prefer to have it swimming in some tasty meat. I am reluctant to try one of their other mofongos because I worry that it would likewise have very little meat with it. The rice was flavorful and delicious. It reminded me of Jamaican rice in the flavor profile. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever had pigeon peas.
6th MOFONGO DE CARNE FRITA.
Mofongos, Los Angeles
Darn it... not as good as last time. The broth was greasier and not as plentiful and some of the chunks of pork were over fried. Too bad. I don't know if quality has gone down or if the dishes are inconsistent, but we are less likely to return now.
7th MOFONGO DE BISTEC
Mofongos, Los Angeles
Mofongo stuffed with minute steak and topped with grilled onions. Maduros (fried plantains) on the side are amazing!
NOT FOR ME
8th PORK MOFONGO
Smorgasburg, Los Angeles
Pork was just okay and the mofongo (plantains) was very disappointing. It was sitting in a sauce ( not broth) that was not great and did not make the plantains soft or tasty at all.
