    Lechón y pastel
    Jas H.

    I've been here twice to give them a second chance , but I have to say the meat is not the best quality. I ordered the lechón plate and it was not what I expected. Another time I ordered a bistec and the texture was very weird, almost lamb like, that's odd.

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.

The cheese sticks I think they cirullos go marvelously with their hot sauce, which is definitely not too spicy and the shrimp with garlic cream. Mofongo is delicious. Everybody is super friendly and the menu is delicious. This is our second time and I see a third in my near future.

    Looking for this small restaurant I saw on Yelp on a rainy day. GPS tells me that I have arrived at…read moremy destination but I miss it. If it wasn't for a lone Puerto Rican flag by the door, I almost keep driving and dismiss it as if it was a false Yelp page. Thank God I did not! This little place is tiny, with a counter that sits about four people max and a small table for two. They specialize in takeouts mostly but we were able to snatch that little table for two. From the start, the lady at the counter was super nice and we immediately felt welcomed. We ordered an alcapurria, which for me is something I order to gauge the level of what to expect from our meals. Is it overcooked? Is it undercooked? Is it fried on burnt cooking oil or fresh? How a restaurant serves you an appetizer is very telling of their level of attention to detail. Luckily for us, this appetizer was perfectly cooked and it had a very well seasoned ground beef that was very flavorful. I, of course, ordered a Mofongo with fried pork chunks, which is one of my favorite all time meals while my wife went with her go-to chicken breast with salad and tostones. Both of our meals were very satisfying with a nice authentic Puerto Rican flavor. My mofongo was soft and moist with the nice flavor of green plantains. You would find the flavorful pieces of pork grind mixed in too, just like they make them back at the island. The pork chunks were flavorful but a little too hard and challenging to cut through with the plastic cutlery that we were given. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it way more with a good fork and knife in hand, but nevertheless, I can see myself ordering the exact same dish next time I buy dinner here again. My wife was very happy with her meal too. Overall, we will order to go next time, or for delivery. I am curious to see how this mofongo will travel. One thing I noticed is that they don't serve the mofongo with chicken broth on the side which would probably be a great idea to include, especially on a delivery. Plantains dry up so a side of this could revive it back to its full flavor. I'm very happy to have found this place and I recommend it.

It's a small place, with only a few table, but the food is definitely worth it. The alcapurrias and sorullitos made me feel like I was back at home! Show El Chinchorro some love. You won't regret it!

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. I would definitely come back We got cortaditos to go and they were really good and authentic. If you're looking for real Cuban food. This place is it.

My wife ordered their Ropa Vieja and I ordered their Bistec de Palomilla. We both ordered their maduros and moros for our sides. Both dishes were delicious. The Palomilla was very tender and seasoned well. We also ordered a few mojitos and Cuba libres. It was also pretty cool watching all the action take place behind the bar. They had a special mojito guy would make about 6 mojitos at a time. Will definitely be back.

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.
