Both were tasty. I do however wish they had a one cheese option since I like the white cheese more than the three cheese option. I also ordered the lime juice which was sooo good! Lastly, I had a yo-yo with chicken. This was tasty. However my only negative comment is that the bottom plantain was a bit hard but all in all it was still good. Note: when you order from a delivery service like Grubhub the prices per item all are more expensive. Calling for pickup or walking in and ordering will save you money. I recommend this place.

Sofrito is a versatile, aromatic purée of tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, onions, and garlic, which is the foundation of just about every Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican soup, stew, or sauce. Located on busy Teaneck Road in Teaneck, this husband/wife duo, with the husband being Cuban and the wife Puerto Rican, operates the hidden gem that translates from the Spanish meaning "my roots." The reservation was easily made by Google Assistant for Saturday dinner. Upon arrival at Mis Raices, a bigger location after 3 years for some of us, my partner, our friends, and I got a table by the window immediately inside a cozy island vibe filled with the wonderful smell of the home-style food, the beautiful souvenirs of Puerto Rico and Cuba, and the vibrant salsa music. The menu has been expanded since our last visit, so come hungry! For appetizers, we decided on the Croqueta De Jamón, Croqueta De Pollo, and Guava Empanada. As a main meal, we opted for Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken with Rice), Pechuga De Pollo (Chicken Breast) A La Plancha with Salad, Ropa Vieja (Shredded Beef) with Arroz Amarillo y Frijoles Negroes, and Oxtail/Rabo Encendido with Arroz con Gandules. Complimentary toasted garlic bread started our meal. The meal was beautifully presented. The flavors were tastefully delicious and pretty consistent, being rich and authentic. The portion was just right with the price very reasonable, and it's a BYOB. The owners, Ana and Eddie, and their staff make us feel welcome and are accommodating. We can continue to recommend this place.

This spot delivered a solid Colombian food experience with a great atmosphere to match…read more We started with the empanadas, which were crispy, golden, and packed with flavorful filling. They definitely shine even more with a little hot sauce on the side. Easy 8/10. The highlight of the meal was the steak tostones. The steak was juicy and tender, the guacamole added a fresh touch, and the tostones were perfectly crispy. My only complaint is that I wish there had been more on the plate because they disappeared fast. 8.5/10. For my entrée, I had the grilled chicken topped with mushroom sauce. It was good and cooked well, but I felt it could have used a little more seasoning and heat to really make it pop. 7.5/10. Beyond the food, the ambiance was fantastic. The restaurant is beautiful, comfortable, and has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

I always get my Colombian breads from here. It's always my go too and they're more affordable and tastier than other restaurants in the area. If you want actual Colombian baked goods and foods, come here. It's inexpensive and taste great. The owner you can see also works in the back when it gets super crowded or he switches to the front. I've ordered empanadas, papa rellenas, all of the bread types you see, chicharrón, chorizo, tortas negra, desserts and personalized birthday cakes... basically everything. This place is amazing and they take orders ahead of time also, I've order 50 empanadas a day before and when I went to pick them up, they were right out the oven, warm and ready to go. In conclusion, this place is great and try it out if you're interested in Colombian goods. The safe is friendly even for those who don't speak Spanish. The staff will remember your face and always greet you with a smile.

I can't exactly call it hearty, because of the thin liquid. But it was very filling. They only had beef empanadas. It was a fat little pillow full of beef and not too much other filler.
