Warmed up from yesterday. Looking at the pan you can tell it has rewarded in the same pan. Additional side pork order- they gave me the scraps they were trying to get rid off along with bones and charged me almost $8 Overall service- staff taking my order was welcoming and patient. Person cutting the meet seemed to be in a bad mood. The person at register was ok untill I asked her to replace the dry meat and bones from my side pork order and actually give me meat I could eat. She stated the serve costilla not cerdo her response was so unbelievably dumb I chose to ignore it and asked her to put meat in my order. Her attitude and service changed negatively. This was a great spot, very sad to see that the taste and quality of food has went down drastically. Also, why were there no Puerto Ricans there? Could it be that there are ppl from other countries attempting to match the flavor now instead or authentic food? The lady stated owner was nit available for me to show him the food. Maybe he will see it here instead. They are also in a quick hurry to ask you to leave a review before you even try your food

I haven't been here in awhile. I was craving their pasteles and decided to stop by…read more It was right about pass 5pm when I entered the place and they close at 6/7pm I think on weekdays. The hot plates on the steam area were almost empty pans - All they had left was yuca, white rice, arroz gandules, tostones, macaroni salad, lechon asado, roasted chicken, pasteles from what I recall. I opted a plate dinner - it comes with rice, meat and 2 sides. The lechon asado looked good with the roasted crispy skin. I was not sure how they plate the lechon asado as in how much you get. They do not speak english much but they try to understand you and what you want. So when she was slicing up the lechon asado - She kept asking i guess if the portion was ok - I was afraid that if I kept asking more meat they might up charge my $13.99 plate. In total i recieved 5-6 pieces of Lechon asado. Along with arroz gandules - yuca and macaroni salad. The Lechon Asado was delicious. Crispy skin and juicy meat. It was seasoned well. You can taste the roast taste from the meat - So this place is known for this - This is why its a best seller kind of meat here. Yuca - It was tender soft but tasted spoiled. It had a smell to it - I guess because I got it later of the day - The yuca just sat in the hot steamer all day - It had a somewhat sour taste to it. I did not continue to eat it in case I would get food poisoning. Arroz Con Gandules - It was seasoned well and good texture on the rice. You can taste some type of smokiness on the rice. Macaroni Salad - This was bland for me. It needed some seasoning but I still ate it because the yuca was not up to par as far as taste. I can make better Macaroni Salad than this. The pork pasteles was delicious. Seasoned masa and the texture was buttery smooth. The filling was pork not much on it no olives raisins or bell pepper. It was still a delicious pasteles. The pork had a taste of smokiness - They are known for roasted lechon so the pork in the pasteles is delicious.- They only sell / make pork pasteles here. Come here for the lechon Asado - Its very delicious.

I thought it was just a regular pound cake with a pinapple marmalade on top but the cake was actually soaked in a pineapple syrup of some kind and I finished the whole thing in one go! Highly recommend. The space is open and seems to have plenty of seating, the displays are well lit and the staff was all very kind. Will certainly be back!

We visited Bongos Restaurant for my brother's birthday after he mentioned it had great reviews…read more What caught his attention was the fusion of Peruvian and Puerto Rican cuisine, and since we're originally from Peru, we always love trying new Peruvian spots. The restaurant itself is cute and well-decorated, and it wasn't busy when we visited (Thursday around 6:30PM). Our server was friendly and attentive, and when we asked where the chef was from, she said Peru--which we later found out wasn't true (an important detail you'll soon see why). Food & Experience We ordered a variety of dishes to try: What we loved: * Sushi Acevichado - Great flavor and well-prepared. * Torta de Chocolate & Mousse de Maracuyá - Both desserts were delicious. What disappointed us: * Sopa de Pollo - The soup was loaded with potatoes, which wasn't an issue, but when we asked if it could be split into two bowls, the server said no. Instead, she offered to bring an extra bowl for us to do it ourselves, which felt like an odd policy. * Lomo Saltado - The charcoal flavor was so overpowering that it wasn't enjoyable, and the fries didn't taste homemade. * Aeropuerto - Not to my liking at all. The chicken was overcooked, and the chaufa's flavor was off, likely due to a different soy sauce (siyau) being used. * Trio (Fried Calamari, Chaufa de Pollo, Ceviche de Pescado) - The fried calamari arrived cold and gooey, the chaufa had the same flavor issue as the Aeropuerto, and the ceviche was just okay. When the chef came to our table, we asked what part of Peru he was from--and that's when we found out he wasn't actually Peruvian. This might explain why some of the traditional Peruvian flavors were missing or off. Would we come back? Probably not. There are so many better Peruvian restaurants we've tried. If we're in the area, we might consider giving it another shot with different dishes, but we wouldn't go out of our way to visit again. (Nice atmosphere, good desserts, but underwhelming Peruvian flavors.)

Disappointing Experience at Tropical Mofongo…read more I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Tropical Mofongo. I called to place an order and was told they would not take my order over the phone and that I had to order online. I followed their instructions and placed an online order totaling over $100. The order indicated that my food would be ready at 3:17 PM. I arrived at approximately 3:30 PM, only to find that my food was still not ready. When I went to pick up the order, I was asked to provide identification. Unfortunately, I had left my ID at the hotel where I was staying. I did have a picture of my ID on my phone, but instead of accepting that, I was told they wanted to write down my driver's license number. Given the amount of identity theft and fraud happening today, I was not comfortable providing my driver's license number for someone to write down. They offered me a refund, and I ultimately left without the food I had ordered. I understand that businesses have policies regarding identification, but the entire experience was frustrating and lacked customer service. I followed their instructions to order online, paid over $100, arrived at the stated pickup time, and still walked away without my food. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend Tropical Mofongo. The customer service and handling of the situation were extremely disappointing.
