Come for: mofongo of course!…read more Know that: English is not spoken by everyone here, but service is very nice! I LOVE mofongo and visiting Miami, I had to give it a try. The ambiance of Mofongo is friendly but be prepared to do a lot of pointing if you don't speak Spanish. Servers are very nice! I came for lunch and ordered the mofongo churrasco (4/5). The mofongo was deliciously flavorful and the pork still juicy. My one disappointment was they did not have the cream sauce during lunch, but did provide me with some garlic butter sauce. It made the mofongo very decadent...perhaps too much. Overall, I'd come back to try it with another sauce. Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and great service.

Instead of reviewing the bill with us, the waitress went straight to charging the card and included an additional tip without explaining that gratuity was already built in.

I brought my sister because she loves mofongo, and it seemed like the perfect place for us to check out together. We came fairly early, around 6 PM, so it wasn't crowded at all. The only downside was that the restaurant had a fragrance that was incredibly strong and honestly a bit overpowering. It kind of took away from the experience for me. They don't have outdoor seating, but I genuinely would have preferred sitting outside in the Miami heat over being inside with that scent. Food wise, it definitely delivered. I ordered the churrasco mofongo and it was delicious. The steak was flavorful and paired perfectly with the mofongo. We also got the fried chicken for my nephew, and it was so good. Crispy, juicy, and a huge hit with him. Service was good throughout our visit, and our food came out quickly. Overall, I'm glad to see them thriving in a larger space. The food was great, the service was solid, and if they toned down the fragrance, the experience would have been even better.

Everybody is super friendly and the menu is delicious. This is our second time and I see a third in my near future.

The juices were also amazing, just kinda wish they didn't come in pouches. I really just wish the set up was better. There were 3 tables really close to each other and no chairs to sit on. My daughter and i had to eat our food standing up, so we ended up just taking it to the car. The flies around the food and the tables were insane! Maybe set up something to try and keep them away or put up fans around the tent. Yes, it is a farmers market on the weekends but it makes it really hard for people to want to buy the food since eating afterwards is impossible.

The food is very decent and never breaks the bank. All the staff is friendly and polite and they attend to you as fast as possible for whatever you need. The place is small but never too crowded where I can't find a seat--which means it's still a hidden gem! I love the tostones and camarones, and their bacalitos are nice and big too!

From a bartender/ server, I can say I'm always looking for good service and he delivered. The food was really good we had the ham and chicken croquetas, as well as carnitas frita de cerdo. The ham croquettes were suggested by Alejandro and they were so good. He also suggested we did the Lacon con papas and he did not disappoint. It's cooked for 4 hours and it's so soft and yummy. We were celebrating my girls birthday and he brought out a nice Dubai chocolate cake and sang happy birthday. Super nice I suggest seating outside in the patio. It's hot but there's many fans. The decor it's giving Cuba. I loved it. I had been here before in 2021 but Alejandro truly made our experience better and worth it.

The food is the kind of Cuban cooking that makes you go quiet for a second: a beef and rice bowl with black beans, sweet plantains, and avocado that was rich and deep and comforting, plus a flaky empanada that disappeared in about four bites. Nothing felt like a tourist version of Cuban food. It felt like someone in the kitchen actually cares. Then the live music kicks in and the whole room lifts. A band right in the space, real Cuban son, the bartenders working behind that gorgeous bar like it is a performance of its own. The cocktail program is legendary for a reason, the cantineros are pouring with serious skill, and the energy is electric without being a chaotic club scene. Yes it is on the pricier side, entrees run into the thirties and up, but you are getting top tier food, world class drinks, and live music in one seat. Worth every dollar. Five stars, easy, and I am already trying to figure out when I can go back.

An older waitress served our table. She first brought us calamari that was undercooked, sticky, and raw. She replaced it with octopus, which was more expensive, and we agreed to keep it. We also asked for tap water, but she brought us bottled water instead, which cost $10. The restaurant was very dark, making it difficult to notice these things right away. Before we had a chance to review everything, the food was already served. When the check arrived, she pressured me to pay quickly, so I didn't have enough time to carefully review the bill. Later, I realized we had been charged for additional side dishes that we never ordered, which increased the total significantly. This restaurant is wonderful and doesn't need these kinds of tactics. I only wish they employed more honest waitstaff. My advice is to carefully check your order and your bill before paying so you don't end up spending extra money or dealing with unnecessary stress that could ruin an otherwise enjoyable evening. I truly loved the atmosphere and the food, but I was very disappointed by the service. For me, the ambiance and food deserve 5 stars, while the service deserves only 1 star. That averages out to a 3-star review.
