It's quite rare to see a sit-down Puerto Rican spot around here (I've mostly only had food truck…read moreversions across the country). I'm happy to have found Sofrito! The place is nicely decorated and spotless, and the staff were friendly throughout. While I don't claim to be an expert in Puerto Rican food, overall the flavors were excellent. We started with the empanadillas, which were crispy and hot. The canoas were also delicious. The plantains were perfectly ripe and sweet, and the meat filling was flavorful and provided a nice savory balance. For entrees, we all went with combo plates. Each comes with pickled onions and a small side salad (kind of like a pico de gallo), plus your choice of rice, like white rice, tostones, maduros, or seasoned rice like arroz mamposteao or arroz con gandules. The pollo was moist with a really nice aromatic seasoning on top. The pernil asado was tender with crispy skin. The bistec encebollado was my favorite. The beef was very tender, tangy from the vinegar marinade (it actually reminded me a bit of Filipino adobo), and full of flavor. Both seasoned rice options were yummy, though we all slightly preferred the arroz mamposteao as it was a bit more flavorful. We finished with flan de queso, which tasted fresh and wasn't overly sweet. Street parking was easy even on a Saturday evening. I'd go there all the time if I lived nearby!

Came here for lunch a few weeks ago, since I was in the area. Didn't know what to expect because I…read morewas the only patron in the restaurant. The decor of the restaurant was cute. I had the mofongo (with the garlic sauce) with the carne frita (fried beef). I'm Puerto Rican and the carne frita was probably the best I've ever had. It was crispy but not hard and it was very tender and tasty. And the garlic sauce ... OMG, so delicious. I also got chicken and pizza empanadas and a plantain soup to go. Both were pretty good too. The waiter was nice and attentive and made good suggestions. My only complaints are that I had to pay for parking and I thought the food was a little pricey for PR food/lunch. But considering the portions were decent, that there aren't a ton of PR restaurants in MD and that it was delicious, I would go back there if in the area again.

This spot is IT for empanadas ! I stopped in for something small and just got the empanadas and the…read moresides and all 10/10. I would like to try other items on the menu. But everything is affordable and clearly made to order. My partner did try the guava pastry and was obsessed with it. One of my friends did try this spot with us and got a mango smoothie and it is one of the best I've had. It tastes so fresh and delicious. The staff is so friendly here, everyone is so accommodating and helpful. Plenty of seating in the space and I appreciate the Puerto Rican decor around to give it a different feel. I will definitely be returning.

The guava pastry was SO good!! The pasty was delicate and fluffy with many many layers. The filling…read morewas amazing and had a perfect flavor. I would only wish for a little more filling, but somehow the amount that was in there was enough The chicken empanada was SO good too!!! The dough was beautiful and cooked perfectly. It had a great flavour. The filling was also amazing. It wasn't an overwhelming taste, but it was still very very well flavoured. Again I could only wish there was more filling, but again somehow the amount in there was enough The service was quick too! The only thing I would say is the guava smoothie wasn't my fave. It wasn't bad but it might not be something I'd order again. I did somewhat enjoy it because it was very fresh and a little sweet but I'm not super crazy about it.

It looks pretty bland on the outside. Inside it's a beachy feel with lots of tables, a counter, and…read more(the night we were there) someone playing music. It's definitely Boricua food. Monfongo, bifongo, trifongo . . . Since it was our first time in, we tried a lot of different items. The Monfongo with chicharones de pollo was excellent. The pastillilo de carne was good. The papas locas (with carne) was really good. It was so big, we couldn't finish it. We ordered it for an appetizer but it really could be an entree. The arroz con gondules was good. It could have had a little more flavor, but it was fine. I ordered a side of the trifongo since only the monfongo came with the entrees. I really liked their trifongo. Hubby got the pina colada frappe and it was very good, very fresh. Definitely a good place to visit. Street parking. Service was a little scattered and it took a lot longer for our food than expected. Lots of families and lots of people taking out, in addition to almost packed tables. Go, enjoy the Boricua food and feel like you're on an island. :)

Wow. Really liked this. We wanted to try something different and even though I am from Miami I…read morewasn't too familiar with Puerto Rican food. I really liked the mofongo and the fried pork. The chicken was pretty good. I think everything would've been better either in the store or just hotter. (The fries weren't warm). We will definitely be trying this place again.
