Great hidden gem for Puerto Rican food. Pernil, rice & beans and sweet plantains were amazing! Chicken with green bananas were okay but green bananas aren't my thing. They have typical Puerto Rican food. It's a mom and pop shop that is grab and go or sit down and eat. There's a full bar. Dining area has murals on the wall that gives you all the vibes of being in PR. I loved it. There's also seating outdoors. Service was good. Can't wait to return! read more

I had my husband pick up pasteles on his way home from work and usually they're good. Something tasted off about this time and I should've stopped eating them. After an hour after eating them I got terrible food poisoning and I'm still sick days after eating it even after a hospital stay for IV fluids and Zofran. I'm also 8.5 months pregnant so it made matters worse. read more

We were looking for a place to take our uncle out to dinner near him and someone suggested this spot. Not being from the Manchester area, we called and asked if they had indoor seating and if they could accommodate a large party. They were so helpful and so attentive. The food was amazing! We ordered just about half the menu and everything was delicious! I think we found our new spot for family dinners. Everything looked so good, I started digging in and forgot to take pictures of the rest of the food we ordered. Food and service was very authentic. read more

Great little spot! Authentic Puerto Rican food and atmosphere. Had an alcapurria and yucca fried which were great. Friendly place, will be back. Missing star was for seating area, which is nice but was a little messy that night, but that didn't really bother me. read more

The food was ok, we ordered a seafood mofongo and a mofongo de camarones. The mofongo's lacked flavor and there was not enough sauce to keep it moist. It was too dry and I was hoping to having some very delicious mofongo. Kudos to how well they manage the crowd during the pandemic. There was constant traffic of people coming to the restaurant and they restrict to 2 customers inside at a point in time. Very well managed. I will give this place another shot. read more

La Plazita Del Mofongo - Seafood MoFongo - Puerto Rican Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

This is the first time back since they went to cash only and I believe, new owners. I ordered mangu with chicharron and a beef empanada. Price came to $12.36. Excellent price for the food I received. Portion size was just right. Quite a few items to choose from in the front trays, plus a menu board. Taste was spot on. Friendly woman in front. Still a great place to go get latin food. Just wish they would take credit cards. read more

I took out lunch from this place. I called ahead, and food was ready in 15 minutes. Conoas was my favorite here. Monfongo was decent. Beef stew was good. Fried chicken was a bit salty for me. Chicken seemed to be from bony cuts. read more

Now THIS is what I'm talking about. 100/10. I've been searching for some authentic Puerto Rican food and it's been here the whole time! I definitely recommend. Rice was fire. Pernil was fire. Chuletas. FIRE. read more

Walked in, maybe a half hour before closing, still some great options left. The girl behind the counter was super sweet! She didn't make me feel like I was bothering her before closing. The portions were huge, the to go container was stacked to the brim! I love Authentic little Spanish hole in the walls & thats what this was. Empanadas were so delicious. Everything was. The cost of food was just amazing. I went to another Top Rate Spanish restaurant in E. Hartford week prior and it was not good. This place-the food was SO DAMN GOOD. We had a lot of leftovers. Would highly recommend this place who wants some good spanish food!! read more

I was browsing restaurants in the manchester area and decided to try this as I have been missing the delicious mofongo from my PR vaca. I got the seafood mofongo and a alcapurria. Both tasted oversalted and drenched in oil but without much other flavor. The texture of the mofongo itself was ok. This was ok for the area, but I don't expect that I will try it again. read more

Delicious food. Hot fresh, all the flavors and traditional dishes. If they don't have it available they will make it. Fresh Cilantro in the rice. Friendly service, and a nice area to sit. Prices are decent as well. read more

The food was excellent pork shoulder with Mofongo. The kids had rice with beans and chicken. The beans was a little bit garlicky so the kids didn't eat it but otherwise the food was great. The bacalao was on point piña colada needs a little bit more flavor. Otherwise the food is good. read more

I went here for the first time yesterday and right off the bat was met with such amazing service and of course, amazing food. Came back today and was even more impressed with how amazing this place is and I can't believe I've never heard of it. read more

It's a fairly new establishment In the save a lot plaza. A very small restaurant where you can just walk in and pick up. They do have small tables for dining but not for large parties. Menu is displayed behind the counter on a TV. Food is displayed in front of you to see. So far I have gone several times and the food is moderately good I always buy rice with pork shoulder and beans a large plate it's about nine dollars. The staff is friendly and if they make a mistake with their meal they will quickly correct it. Everyone wears hair nets and gloves that I noticed and I like that, will definitely come again read more

The food was very good here, but my coworkers and I came here on Friday for lunch. We didn't call ahead but we didn't think it would take more than 20 minutes to get 3 mofongos... it ended up taking more than an hour! The wait was brutal especially cause there wasn't any AC. We're going to try again, but we probably will just order mangu and whatever is in the case already made.. read more

My son and I tried their empanadas for the first time and loved them. I also enjoyed their stewed chicken meal as well

I've lost count as to how many times ive gone to this restaurant since finding out about it. They always have tons of options, everything has been fresh and delicious. The prices are very reasonable as well. Great people...great food...please support it!! read more

Delicious food. I ordered the mofongo with pork shoulder and I was very happy with my choice. There is a 15 -20 minute wait so I would call ahead or just expect to wait for a bit. I'm sure it's because it takes a while to make. Can't wait to try the other dishes. Happy to have this type of food in Manchester :). read more

My go-to local Spanish restaurant! The food is authentic and always fresh, definitely top tier.

Food is fantastic only two people are allowed in there at one time they are being extremely careful with Covid

Just order pernil and yellow rice from here. They are usually good when it come to delivery orders but the meat was all fat not even a good piece of pernil was there. Then we also wanted maduros but instead they gave us tostones. read more

La Plazita Del Mofongo - All fat no meat - Puerto Rican Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

This place is a gem! Love it. Prices are great, food is amazing. I been going since they opened up. Now they have a sit down, it's a must!

What!! Do they get up every morning and take a Jetblue nonstop from SJU to BDL? I have vacationed extensively in PR not just for the beautiful beaches,but more importantly the food. La Plazita del Mofongo captures the complete essence of the Latin flavors in PR food. The month of our first visit we came back at least 5 times. Even ordered when we had visitors from out of town. Everyone agreed the food was on point. The baked chicken and pork shoulder never disappoint. The Mofongo portions, enough for at least two. This dish takes time to prepare so always order ahead unless you have time to spare. Generous portions, legit flavor, and ease of taking it to go make this the #1 choice in Manchester. read more

Good food, good customer service, and a good variety of different hispanic food options to choose from. Very authentic.

Great Hispanic food in this small restaurant. Too bad there is no sit down area even before COVID always have to order to go . However the food is remarkably great. Fresh ingredients and the mofongo is cooked to order which is great. Love it read more

it was my first time here. I got the combination mofongo meal with beef stew and fried chicken, and fried pork. 1st, the mofongo was really bland. then the beef stew.... it was SOOO DRY!! I did not know that it was possible to dry your stewed meat!! Could barely swallow it. the Fried pork was really salty, thanks goodness I only got one piece! the fried chicken was ok, I mean...I couldn't tell it was chicken... it taste ok because I love anything fried :). overal, I'm glad that I gave this place a try... will I be back? That's a hard NO. This was my first time trying mofongo... and sadly it might be my last mofongo's meal. read more

The food is good but just extremely salty. I wish that I continue to get it but unfortunately, I can not.

Hands down one of the best Hispanic restaurants I've been to in a while. The food here is to die for and with so many options to choose from it's highly encouraged that you come back and see what you missed. You can stop for some bacon and eggs or you could get one of their mouthwatering signature mofongos. Very underrated and definitely top 3 Hispanic restaurants in the state of CT. read more
