So I was pleased when we had our first lunch at Negrita's today. A little hole in the wall place in New Britain, you can barely see the restaurant name past the huge tree in front of the restaurant. Waking inside, you get the strong feeling that the space used to be occupied by a Subway...same booths and layout. Seating is limited and booths only hold two people so if you're with a group, prepare to split up or take your food elsewhere to eat. Nothing is labeled and there are no menus, just a menu board up on the wall. I was not very adventurous on my first trip, but ordered yellow rice and beans with 1/4 rotisserie chicken. I also ordered one of those fried mashed potato balls with meat inside. No idea what it's called but I've always loved them. Another coworker also ordered the chicken, one got spare ribs, and one just got rice, beans and plantains. I really wish I had gotten some plantains!!!! My food was reasonable at $8.95 for the meal, the mashed potato ball and a bottle of water. I definitely have enough leftover for another meal. The chicken was moist inside but the skin was crispy. Perfect! The yellow rice and beans were fabulous. It's a perfect spot for a quick lunch because you don't have to wait long. I will definitely be back to try some of the other meats and the bacalaitos...curious to see how they compare to my Italian grandmother's codfish fritters that she makes every Christmas!!

I've gotten food from this truck at least 3 times and every time it just was not good, especially…read morefor the price. The last time I got something, a burrito, the rice inside was clearly not fresh, everything was grossly oversalted, and the "steak" looked more like tiny burnt strips of salisbury steak. Additionally, the menu is posted with no prices and many items on the posted menu are not available. I truly hope this food truck takes this to heart and starts offering quality, well-made food instead of the "it'll do in a pinch" stuff that I've experienced every time. I want this guy to succeed because it's important for local businesses to thrive, but there are dozens and dozens of better mobile offerings and he would do well to study the food they serve. I will do everything I can to avoid eating from the truck for the foreseeable future because it's a waste of money, based on my experiences.

Chef O's Streatery was a food truck at a winery I attended and it was the main reason why I visited…read morethe winery. I've heard great things about the food and I wanted to try it out. I ordered Sweet Chili Wings, a Beef Empanada, and the Pork Chop Bowl. The Sweet Chili Wings were crispy and flavorful but I have pet peeve when someone pours the sauce onto the wings instead of mixing the wings in a bowl with the sauce. The Empanada were delicious, full of flavor, and full of meat. It was fried to perfection and not too oily. I love a good fried Pork Chop so I decided to order a Pork Chop Bowl. The Pork Chop Bowl was really lacking flavor and the Spanish Rice was okay but the Pork Chops had a good amount of meat on them. One suggestion I would make is to add the prices on the menu. The owner was very pleasant and very outgoing and I'm glad I got to try out his food.

I've driven by when they were closed, but recently noticed they were open as I was getting an afternoon coffee in New Britain. They mostly had sandwiches, but had some other offerings as well. I posted a pic of what they have. I ordered a tripleta, a sandwich on pressed Cuban style bread with pernil, ham and steak, and also topped with American Cheese, lettuce, tomato and Mayo Ketchup. It was a pretty good sandwich. Better than the sum of its parts. The meats didn't really pop for me flavor, seasoning or texture-wise, but they were decent. The bread was fresh and good. They probably needed a bit more fat when they were pressing the bread. It was a touch darker than ideal. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. It's convenient since I often get coffee at Alvarium. 3.5 Stars

I love the other MoFongo locations and this is definitely the most convenient for me. I ordered the Carne Frita, which came with flavorful pork pieces, pinto type beans, ketchup/mayo, the famous MoFongo yellow rice and Pico. It was assembled along the line and they added what I wanted. It was quick and convenient. It tasted savory and great and had the right texture. I understand they've been open about a week. Off to a strong start. It shares space with a Burrito Loko, which as Parkville Market and the Assembly Room. I'm not sure if they consider these business one or two restaurants. But this review is for the Mofongo side of the house. Five Stars
