If you're looking for authentic Dominican comfort food in a cozy setting, La Casa del Mofongo is worth a visit. From the moment you walk in, the restaurant is full of personality. The colorful décor and nostalgic touches throughout the dining room create a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels more like sharing a meal with family than dining out. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated that they were bilingual, making everyone feel comfortable and at home. We shared the Bandeja La Casa del Mofongo con Tostones, loaded with chicharrón de puerco, chicharrón de pollo, masitas de cerdo, salami, and queso. At $22.99, the portion was incredibly generous and easily large enough to share. The meats were flavorful and well-prepared, with the pork perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy inside. The tostones were fried to perfection! If you're craving authentic Dominican cuisine , La Casa del Mofongo is definitely a place worth adding to your list. read more

We were in the area craving some authentic Puerto Rican food, so after browsing Yelp, one of the top-rated spots nearby was "La Casa del Mofongo." Curious and hungry, we decided to check it out. The restaurant is located in a small shopping plaza, and I have to admit, the dark tinted windows made the place seem a little questionable at first glance. I actually got out of the car to peek inside before committing. Once I saw several people dining and enjoying themselves, we decided to give it a shot. Inside, the restaurant was tastefully decorated with a charming Dominican countryside flair. Even the bathrooms had a playful sense of humor that added character to the place. Service started off promptly, and we were seated right away with menus in hand. However, while browsing the menu, I quickly realized that despite the restaurant's name, there were very limited Puerto Rican options aside from the different varieties of mofongo. The menu was overwhelmingly Dominican cuisine, which was a bit disappointing since we specifically came looking for Puerto Rican dishes. We ordered the empanada de cangrejo to start, which was flavorful and freshly made. We also shared the mofongo with masitas fritas, and I will say the food itself was well seasoned, hearty, and satisfying. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food. Our waitress lacked warmth and wasn't particularly attentive. What stood out the most was that she didn't know what sorullos or alcapurrias were, which caught me completely off guard considering we were searching for Puerto Rican cuisine. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the experience didn't fully meet our expectations. If you're looking for Dominican-style mofongo dishes, you may enjoy it. But if you're specifically craving traditional Puerto Rican cuisine, this may not quite hit the mark. read more

From the outside, you might wonder if you had arrived at the correct venue... the restaurant is very unassuming from the outside. However, the moment you walk in the door you know that the correct decision was made and you MUST get a table. The aroma of steak and pork grabs your olfactory senses and whets your appetite. Then you notice how every single table is occupied by very happy diners and it's not even a decision to not wait your turn. We only had to cool our heels maybe 10 minutes before we were seated and we both got the Mofongo, which is a plantain-pork amalgamation of flavor and fun. Paired with your favorite meat, it's a winner. The staff is fun, knowledgeable, and they serve up the fare FAST. We ate every bite. La Casa Mofongo is THE place for Dominican food. Worthy of a return to try something new. read more

This was my second visit to this Dominican spot, and let me tell you... they are 2 for 2 because they did NOT disappoint I went for lunch with a colleague and ordered the oxtail with white rice, habichuelas, concon (you already know ), and crispy tostones--and whew... every bite was hitting! The flavors were rich, comforting, and straight-up authentic. You can taste the love in that food. And let's talk portions... they are NOT playing with you. I had enough leftovers to run it back for dinner later, and it still tasted just as good! The service? Super attentive and welcoming--exactly what you want when you're trying to sit, relax, and enjoy a good meal. And the decor is such a vibe--cute, cozy, and full of personality. Even the restroom had a unique touch... a big pot turned into a sink! Like... come on, that's creative Will I be back? Oh absolutely. Probably next month though, because it's about an hour drive for me--but listen... it's worth it. If you're ever in the area and craving real, authentic Dominican food... don't even think twice. Just go. read more

The location was a bliss when your driving to find this place and you might miss it. Not your ordinary restaurant setting , yet the ambiance and food were absolutely amazing. I went with the mofongo with fried pork chunks. The mouthwatering flavor stood out as I squeezed lemon onto the smashed plantain (mofongo) and the pork chunks. Everything was nicely presented. As for the service, it was not very attentive for the size of our party, especially with how many people were present during lunchtime. Would definitely give it another look moving forward. read more

We came here for lunch after having donuts first at Dixie Highway donuts a few doors away. As we weren't that hungry, we just had a few bites. First off , I've always thought of mofongo as Puerto Rican, but this turned out to be a Dominican restaurant. I ordered their cocktail de camarones assuming it would be like the "cocktail" done in several other Latin American and Mexican restaurants with tomato sauce, ketchup, pico de gallo, and sometimes avocado. Here, it was an American shrimp cocktail -- 6 plain cooked shrimp with a cocktail sauce on the side. It was just okay. I also had a chicken empanada. This was very good. Served hot, I liked both the dough and the filling. My husband had a croquetas appetizer. It said 6 on the menu, but there were seven fried ones on the plate. These seemed prefab/institutional. He didn't care for the sauce that came with them. He wound up using my empanada sauce. He also got a side of sweet plantains. These were good. They didn't have a separate lunch menu or any specials that were reasonably priced. The menu is fairly expensive. But they do offer a lot of quantity on the regular plates per our neighboring table's meals. I'm glad we came to try them. Now we know. read more

Was iffy about this place and a lot of people were talking about how good it was. I live in Ft. Lauderdale and will definitely be driving back north just to eat here. The food was amazing. Service was good, waitress was very helpful. It's not a big place so I would suggest to go early cause I hear it gets packed. It had the trifongo with the chicken and it did not disappoint. The thing I did not like was the morir sonando (taste different than what I had in NY) and the parking is not easy. Other than that I'm coming back to try more. read more

A lovely esthetic to island life! My friend recommended this place and said we would not leave hungry... she did not lie! If you haven't tried Dominican food, this place is very authentic- the style, colors, tables, trinkets and music surrounding you is all DR. We went with a sampler which had fried cheese, salami , and tostones. During this day they had a chef special "el volcán " which was stuffed with all the accoutrements of pork, chicken, steak, chicken , avocado, and rice with beans! Its was very satisfying and fulfilling; the mofongo texture is similar to a deep fried mashed plantain banana. The waitress was friendly and cheerful, they are quick and ready to answer any questions. It got a 5 star first time rate from me! Loved sharing this experience with my friend who shared it was almost a year since her last visit. read more

Zero disappointments. The food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and the presentation was simple but in line with the vibe of the restaurant. The presentation for the coffee is nothing like I've ever seen. We didn't order it, but you couldn't miss it at the other tables. This is definitely worth the trip to eat here. read more

There aren't many places I'd happily drive an hour for just to eat, but this is definitely one of them. We stopped here after visiting Lion Country Safari since it's been on my bucket list for a while, and wow... the trip was so worth it! The décor instantly transported me back home to the DR, and despite the crowd, we were seated in just 10 minutes. The service was flawless, and the food? Absolutely unforgettable. I ate so much I needed a nap on the way home. Next time, I'm asking for a box before I start eating, because I couldn't stop even after I was full, it was just that good. read more

This is a small restaurant specializing in Mofongo (Mofongo is a dish from Puerto Rico with plantains as its main ingredient. Plantains are picked green, cut into pieces and typically fried but can be boiled or roasted, then mashed with salt, garlic, broth, and olive oil in a wooden pilón (mortar and pestle). We waited for ever on a Sunday to be seated and eat, and I can imagine this place gets packed on the weekends mostly. If you go on the weekend, do not go hungry. It was only two of us so we shared a platter that had a little bit of everything including Mofongo balls. It had fried cheese, chicken, pork, etc. The platter is good for 4-5 people, too big for only 2. We got some beer as well. Cool place to go if you've never had Mofongo and want the experience. read more

Read a review someone drove 2.5 miles to eat here. So it was a must try. This was the best mofongo I've ever had. They make the mofongo fresh per order. They were able to make it without the pork. And it tasted just the same. The garlic shrimp mofongo was amazing. The drink holders for their drinks are very crafty. Staff was so nice. It's a small place and it was packed. I know why. They know what they are doing! read more

It was a great visit. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time to ensure you're not waiting too long. The decor is splendid, making it feel like you're home. The service was pretty good with the waitress being very helpful with what to order. We are from Puerto Rico and were going with friends from other nationalities. They loved it all and almost liked their plates. As for us, it was OK. It was lacking a bit on flavor or salt, maybe. The ajillo sauce was delicious, though. All in all, it was a great experience! It was nice to find a place that had that old-time feel of the island. read more

I'm from Los Angeles and was in West Palm Beach for a conference, looking to try something unique to the area. I'd never had Dominican food before, so I didn't know what to expect--let me tell you, this place is a game-changer! If you're in West Palm Beach, you have to check out La Casa del Mofongo. Dominican food is amazing, and this spot nails it! Ambiance was amazing - like you were in the dominican. The service was top-notch; the staff is friendly, attentive, and really makes you feel welcome. Special shoutout to the ladies who are not only sweet but also super professional! Now, the food...wow. The cassava (yuca) empanadas are a must-try, and the tostones and chicharrón de pollo were out of this world. Everything we tried was phenomenal! This place is truly a gem and a must-visit when in West Palm Beach. I'll definitely be back! read more

Our friends from Homestead drove up to visit us back on May 27th. With their 3 hungry kids in tow, Santos and Melissa passionately suggested we should try authentic Dominican food for dinner. That we (mom and myself) will love it! Within a few minutes he blurted out "have you tried Mofongo", to which I replied jokingly, "what did you just call me". And after a worthy drive under 20 mins (from Haverhill area with traffic), we ended up at this small restaurant in a small shopping plaza, on South Dixie Hwy in South West Palm Beach. Once again, reservations are not necessary. I do not think Casa Del Mofongo has a slow time, and is open all seven days. The restaurant has a general, uninformative website, found on google lookup for the restaurant. On Google a 4.8 rating with an astounding, 2700 reviews. However on Yelp, 4.5 rating, a mere 193 reviews. With this being, when visiting, please expect to wait in the narrow and tight entrance space at least 15 minutes or more. While waiting and maneuvering (as other patrons walk in), we noticed and admired the pleasing, rustic decor and the plaque on the wall, highlighting the restaurant being voted as Best Dominican Restaurant for 2022, Palm Beach County. The restaurant's popularity is way bigger than the physical limits of the dinning and waiting area. From what I have read Mofongo is a traditional Puerto Rican dish with fried mashed green plantains, garlic, olive oil, with bacon or pork cracklings. Served in an oval shape, with meat, seafood and broth. And somewhere along the way, became extremely popular that now it is a Dominican standard. Yes, the significant wait allowed us to admiringly peruse the menu and Santos advised us on what to order. Thankfully with Santos being there, he was able to communicate in Spanish with the 4 female wait staff. I believe only one of them conversed in English. Despite the continuous dinner crowd, the female staff remained upbeat, attentive, friendly, and polite. After a few peeks to the back of the restaurant, I noticed a compact yet bustling kitchen, where this desirable, delicious, traditional food is rustled up. What is impressive to me about the food is manner in which each dish is plated. Santos's choice, the Mofongo con Camarones (Mofongo with Shrimp) was plated to us on slender, small, boat shaped, dull metal dish, atop a wooden, rectangular board. Look at the photo below and agree with me that looks beautifully delicious. As it was not my plate, I had a bite and absolutely no words to express how fabulous the taste was. My Mofongo con Pollo was neatly and plainly plated on a rectangular dull metal dish, equally packing a devastating, delicious punch. My mom ordered the Salmon a la Plancha. The fish is cooked on a hot, flat metal plate, or plancha, which combines high-heat searing with a bit of smoking. The fish is seasoned with herbs and citrus and rubbed with olive oil. Once again, a sizeable portion, some of which we had to take home. Melissa had the Pargo Frito, pictured below. This is Spanish for whole deep fried Snapper, cleaned, seasoned (with herbs) and served in a similar tray adorned by a leaf and lime. And as excellent as the above dishes were, this spot serves a cool, refreshing Limonada and Sangria that pairs well. At the end, to leave Casa del Mofongo is an endeavor. The food is fantastic that you definitely desire to order more as takeout. Yet the food is filling to point that you do not wish to eat anything else for the day or the next day. The appetizer and entree value is worth the portion. The entrees range from $18 to $26. When you visit, come here starving and make sure you all can wait standing up for over 15 minutes. Enjoy the visit, its one place to remember and worth returning. This is one review I have the absolute pleasure of writing as it was an experience I was not expecting to have. read more

Live in Parkland and drove here for lunch. I had a friend bring me a dish to try and I craved the mofongo since so we drove up for my birthday.

If you're considering going to this restaurant, do yourself a favor, and please go! I drove from Fort Lauderdale to come check this place out. It was about almost an hour drive and I do not regret it. I must say the restaurant is really tiny like really small. But it's worth it! They don't accept reservations so when we got there, there was a party of nine before us so we did have to wait about 35 minutes. Its so small inside that we waited outside but it really wasn't that bad. The food was so so good! I had leftovers and ate it the next day, and I think it was even better the next day to be honest. The drinks are amazing, the service was great, the decoration had such a fun vibe to it. No complaints at all. read more

Mira Mira Mira. Yo soy Gringo and this was one of the best meals I've ever had. Came across the place from an Instagram video and came all the way up to West Palm Beach from miami to try it out Restaurant itself is in a small Shopping center just south of downtown. It has the typical look of a Latin restaurant. I knew the food was going to be fire when we noticed the silverware wasn't matching . First up, we ordered a beer and the sangria. Beer was only $4 for a Presidente and the sangria was $10. The sangria was tasty but could have been a little bit more stronger for the price. For our appetizer we had the tostones reallenos Con camarón al ajillo. Absolutely amazing and tasty. Had 6 individual tostones with shrimp and sauce for $12. The sauce was absolutely amazing. Just give me a bucket of that sauce and I'll dump it over everything I eat. If they sold it by the gallon I'd by 10. Then, the piece de resistance was La chapiadora. Easily enough food for two people to enjoy. It's a mofongo with chicharones mixed in with a piece of steak wrapped around it, shrimp, more Chicharones, and Dominican sausages covered in the sauce I mentioned above. Every bite was delicious and even though I was full I wanted more because it was that good. The servers were very nice and the food came out quick. Be prepared to possibly wait as the place did get busy and stay busy the entire time we were there. Our wait time was about 20 minutes. Overall, the food was the star here and we plan on making the trek from Miami again in the very near future. You will not disappointed coming here! read more

Found this place via instagram and I was not disappointed. The plaza for this place is pretty small and really easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. When you first walk in the decor is pretty basic Hispanic setting. There were six of us and they accommodated even though the place is small. We ordered a variety of appetizers, Croquetas, Beef Empanadas, and Tostones to start. It was all really great. Service was great, server was knowledgeable about the menu and asked if we ate pork since Mofongo contain pork. She was attentive and really sweet. We ordered Mofongo with steaks and they were cooked the right temperature. The Mofongo was served with a little broth too that we dipped it in. The Bolitas were also great and we got to try a little of everything. Would love to come back to this little spot again. read more

Best Early Christmas Ever! Food & atmosphere is amazing! When you first walk in, you're greeted, and then asked how many of your party. We were five and we sat down immediately. To eat, we had Bandeja la casa del mofongo - comes with sausage, salami , fried cheese, pork chunks, chicken chunks and green plantains. It was more than enough to feed 5 hungry hungry people. They gave you a homemade hot sauce on the side & mayokatchup (mayo & ketchup mixed together) All of the food was amazing and we got full but it didn't stop there! My meal was the mofongo with grilled chicken breast Al ajillo (garlic sauce) the chicken was rubbery and the sauce could of used a bit more garlic. But the mofongo was to die for!! It had actual pieces of fried pork and chicharrón in it. It was fluffy and not dry which was a plus. My sister got the mofongo filled with shrimp Al ajillo. Dessert was amazing. We got the regular flan and flan de coco (coconut) they both have different consistencies as the coconut has actual coconut in it. Both were moist and the presentation was beautiful with the name next to it. Would recommend to visit and enjoy. Can't wait to come back! read more

We landed in Palm Beach and was starving. Our 1st time here so we had no idea what to eat but Hubby is Dominican so we looked for a restaurant on the way to the hotel. There is a La Casa del Mofongo in NYC so on the off chance they were the same owner we thought we give it a try LOL. Not the same owner at all hehehe It was empty when we came in but started to fill up shortly after. By the time we were done eating all tables were taken and mostly Dominicans so you know it's a good restaurant Hubby had the Shrimp Mofongo and I had the Mofongo with Smoke Pork Chops. Both were amazing! Personally it's the best Mofongo I've ever had! It was soft, not super hard like most, where my jaws get tired of chewing after a few bites lol The Garlic Sauce was so good and gives the Mofongo such added flavor, not that it was needed, I just like garlic. Even when reheated in the microwave the next day it was still soft. Shrimp was delicious and Smoked Pork Chop was so good! If you never had Dominican food this is the place to try it! Wish I live in Palm Beach so I could eat here every week! read more
