In town for work and this spot was near the hotel. Never had mofongo so we decided to give it a try. Place was not busy for a Sunday early afternoon. Folks here are super friendly and helpful in explaining the menu and recommendations. Food came out somewhat quick and was all very tasty. Plenty of seating and very chill and quiet. Will definitely be back for the many other dishes. read more

Tropico Mofongo Restaurant - Puerto Rican Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

Disappointing Experience at Tropical Mofongo 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. read more

Loved my mofongo (mashed with chicharrones) and fried chicken!! A little pricey but worth it :) the mofongo didn't come with any sauce except broth so I had to add some sauces on the side & that really leveled it up! read more

Tropico Mofongo Restaurant - Mofongo with fried chicken - Puerto Rican Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

Now, I've been going here for years, and I've long owed them this review. This spot has been one of my favorite places to eat -- even before I moved to Florida. (Honestly, part of me wanted to keep this hidden gem to myself.) The Navideño -- the "Christmas plate" -- is a food challenge in its own right, and I have no shame ordering it in the middle of summer. Every single part of it: the rice, the pasteles, the pernil tastes like abuela cooked for the holidays. My wife always orders it too, never finishes, and I'm fine with that because I happily claim my half... plus my shrimp mofongo. Speaking of which, my go to regular-sized (but still generous) dish is the shrimp mofongo. The garlic sauce is velvety and packed with flavor, and when you get a bite with plantain and shrimp together, it transports you straight to Puerto Rico. I've been in Orlando for four years now, likely coming here for five or six, and I will always come back for my favorite mofongo. read more

There's not alot of places I can get mofongo at in Houston, so of course once we saw this place a few months away from our hotel we decided we'd try it out after a friend recommended it. Plenty of seating, place was clean, we were greeted when we walked in. Depending on what your ordering you'll go to either the counter to choose what you want in a box, or straight to the cash register. My mom got a box of pernil, rice, and plantano. While i got the a mofongo with shrimp with the tropico sauce. And WOW the Mofongo was delicious. Probably my favorite ever?! But also hard to say and unfair to compare to every other Mofongo I've had, since all the others ones were either with a garlic based or tomato based sauce. This sauce was Creamy and has peppers, cilantro and onion slices in it. It was so good I finished it all in the moment. This plate was $20, so do with that info what you will in regards to figuring out if it's a good price lol. The mashed plantain wasn't dry by any means, which can be an issue depending on where you go (but not here). They gave alot of shrimp, and also a side broth type thing to add if you wanted to. If I could I'd get it again. My mom's plate was also delicious! I looved the pernil. I had a bite of hers while waiting for the mofongo (took about 20 minutes for it to come out) and honestly for a second I regretted not getting the pernil mofongo. So whenever I come back to orlando/Kissimmee I'll try to remember to try the pernil one next! read more

SO GOOD ! After traveling all day, my family decided to get dinner here. We came because of the good reviews and it did not disappoint ! Food from back home We came an hr before closing so they didn't have all of their menu items out but still had plenty of variety. The food was so good and SO AFFORDABLE! Really felt like I was at a panadería or local restaurant in PR with the vibes and music. Definitely coming back ! read more

We were in town with my family when my mom remembered a Latin restaurant she had been to before. She noticed it looked remodeled, so we decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we did! The place was amazing. I ordered the shrimp mofongo, and let me tell you--the portion was huge. It could have fed 3 people.My mom was thrilled with her rice, beans, and chicharrón. Everything was so good that two days later, when we didn't know what to eat, we came right back and tried something different! I love how the food is laid out in front of you, kind of like Chipotle, where you can choose from what's already made or order something fresh. The restaurant itself was very clean, and they had plenty of seating. The ladies working there were extremely nice, and I felt comfortable the whole time. On my second visit, I got rice, beans, and a platter, and it was just as delicious. Honestly, I wish this place was closer to home--actually, scratch that--because if it were, I'd probably be eating here every single day. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely fantastic! Best food I've had outside of my family's. Customer service was perfect and it was so clean. Highly recommend!!! read more

Our first dinner after a flight delay late arrival to Orlando. I wasn't as hungry as my wife and could have done chips and salsa with a Marguerita. So glad I insisted we try this strip mall restaurant while navigating at night around the resort area. It was close to closing but we were welcomed and taken care of quickly. Learned about Mofongo and as fun as it is to say it's better to eat as a side dish! She ordered the skirt steak and Mofongo and I got the Pernil (pork roast) and white rice and black beans. I was water guy but she got a passion fruit mojito. Probably the best one she's ever had and I don't care for mojitos much though I'm a big rum fan and I liked it too! The steak was done great, my pork was excellent and with a crispy skin piece on top. Their white rice was simple but we both loved it as it's got more flavor than Asian rice we are used to and the black beans were tasty! The Mofongo was so great to try and now I'll search that out all week. We might be back again in our stay because they have great Cubano Sammie's and so much good looking dishes for both casual and heavier dining. Big portions and we had leftovers for a big snack again In the room. Very kind service. read more

1. Park anywhere in front of the restaurant or around this strip mall style building. Seating and ambiance is reminicent of the cafeteria style business. You may ask the staff to pick your items from the commercial food warmers or go directly to the register and order a la carte, which we did. At the register they suggest a tip when you pay, but they only bring your food out and don't return for service. We love the mofongo. We order mofongo every time we are at a spanish place. Mofongo is a Puerto Rican dish of mashed fried green plantains with broth, garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings or bacon usually accompanid by shimp, or other tyes on meat. The plantains are mashed in a wooden mortar and pestle called a pilón and the dish is often shaped into a ball. 3. The presentation of the food was nice. Once we started eating we found that he food tasted well but it was not at par with other mofongo places. Both of our mofongos were warm and not hot, the pork ckackings inside were soft and did not add taste to the dish. The taste of garlic was absent. Overall the dish was ok, but mofongo is served hot for full enjoyment. I would go again. This is my second visit here, I think they can inprove on that famous, popular Puertorican delicious dish. Overall from 1 to 10, I give them a 6. read more

This was my second time visiting Tropico Mofongo Restaurant, and once again, they delivered a flavorful, satisfying meal. I ordered the Mofongo Duo with chicharrón, a small salad, and barbecue pork and everything was well-seasoned and thoughtfully prepared. The barbecue pork was especially delicious, tender, juicy, and full of smoky-sweet flavor. The chicharrón added a nice crunch and paired perfectly with the soft mofongo. The small salad was fresh and helped balance the richness of the dish. Service was friendly, and the food came out in a timely manner. All in all, Tropico Mofongo continues to impress. A solid 4 out of 5 stars, and I'm already thinking about what to try next time read more

Discovered this place on Yelp as it was nearby and had good reviews. On the way, my Uber driver says, "You're going to Tropico Mofongo? I haven't been but I heard it's good." Well, I've heard the same, Mr. Uber Driver, I've heard the same. There was a good crowd seated when I arrived at 2pm on Saturday. The place is somewhat no frills, very clean and the aromas were inviting. You can be seated and order food from their extensive menu or you can grab some takeout at their buffet-like set up behind the glass where you tell the server what you want and she dishes it out. Since I was ordering to go, that's what I got. They had A LOT of options. I went with the arroz con gandules, yucca with onions and the goat stew. Took it back to my room and man it was yummy. I really wish I had time to sit down and check out the rest of what they got but I will soon enough. read more

Ordered a fried snapper it took 35 mins to make just for it to come out burnt. Service was terrible and the staff seem to do whatever they want including yelling across the store while everyone is eating. Very disappointing I used to love going here but seems like management just doesn't care anymore. read more

So if you get here at the right time things are quick and easy. If you come during the rush pack your patience but know that it is worth the wait. A huge selection of Puerto Rican delights await you. The arroz con gandules, the plátano, the pernil, the chicharrón, the everything was Magically delicious! Service was friendly but don't expect high fives they are working fast and pumping out those plates. Lots of seating and great Mojitos! read more

Located in a strip mall with cafeteria style dining but don't let that fool you. Food is excellent. They have a large space and well spaced seating that is able to accommodate large parties. Maduros were absolutely excellent, well cooked, and sweeeeet. The arroz con gandules was ok. Both chicharron was on point! Well seasoned and not overly salty. Squeeze some lemon over it and it was excellent. Benita's could have been larger. Flan was creamy but did not taste home made. Service was quick and the place got very crowded: a sure sign that people were pleased with the business. Definitely will return. read more

I am still thinking about the food and drinks 2 hours after. Went in the early afternoon for lunch. We were seated right away and had a waitress serve us. Food was fresh, delicious, and authentic. The parcha mojito was absolutely phenomenal. Fresh passion fruit juice and mint and a lime!!! I am a huge fan. We came just us two but we noticed booths that sit groups. It wasn't a huge place but very beautiful inside and classy. We will definitely be coming back. Everything we ate was a 10/10. Great portions and food was just amazing. read more

Food was really really good! Huge portions. I took advantage of a $9.99 lunch special and asked one of the locals what was their go too, and he recommend the chicken but insisted that he has tried everything and everything is good. So I tried the pork stew with vegetable rice, plantains, and a passion fruit juice. I ate inside and customer service was very friendly, attentive server, and Cuban music blasted through the restaurant. I saw various different cultures eating here. I was too full to try dessert but if I get the chance to come back during my stay I will save room for dessert. The restaurant is in a plaza type of setting and plenty of parking was available. read more

Came to this place that a friend told me about the last time she was in the area. We wanted to try it so decided to stop before heading back home. We got there when they opened and we were seated right away. You can sit down and eat in and they also have hot food ready to go. We tried the fried cheese with guava sauce which I really liked. I ordered the Jibarito sandwich and was surprised how big it was we could have easily shared it. The meat was tender and well seasoned the Toston was crispy, perfect combo with a lil mayo ketchup on the side. My BF had the chimi and he said it was amazing, I took a bite and it was really good! We had their lemonade and it was so refreshing, like grandma used to make. Will definitely come back when we are in Orlando. read more

The trifongo was delicious! Although they sent me a salad instead of the caldo I ordered with it. The habichuelas and arroz con gondules were also delicious! But the chicharrones were very disappointing. The meat was dry while at the same time the fat was underdone/not broken down or rendered enough. They were thick and hard to chew. I put them in the air fryer to see if that would help but by the time it finished cooking I lost interest. I'm going to stop eating pork read more

Wow wow wow!!! Visited Orlando and was told to try mofongo. I found this place on Yelp and it did not disappoint at all! We ate here twice during our brief trip and wanted to come a 3rd time but they were closed. The first time we came here was a Saturday evening and what a wonderful surprise! They had live music (he was spectacular) and the ambiance was fun and lively. We ordered the mofongo with steak, monfongo with fried pork, plantains, beef empanadas and flan. No lie, every dish was so flavorful, so fresh and so delicious. The garlic sauces... fire!! Sooo good. My sometimes picky daughter inhaled everything. Service was wonderful too! The second time we took to go and ordered combination of pork, rice, beans, beef empanadas and wow!! All delicious as well! We are now fans of Puerto Rican food! read more

Well I have to say that Tropico Mofongo fails to disappoint! Headed over today after conducting some business in the area and the food was awesome! Today I ordered the Shrimp Mofongo with Pork Rinds (i.e. Chicharrones in Spanish). The pork rinds make the difference so feel to add that in for a new experience. I have to say that the ambiance here is very happy and festive and all the staff are very helpful and courteous to boot. Everything I mentioned in my initial review still holds true and I can honestly say that the Mofongo here is 100% authentic. Trifongo is also awesome as well but important to note that it has sweet plantains in addition to the green plantains. Feel free to stop by if you are looking to try something different as I am pretty sure you will enjoy it. Be safe, enjoy and Bon Appétit mes ami! read more

I could not get enough of this restaurant. It is a combination of Dominican and Puerto Rican inspired food. For lunch, the steam table offers many affordable meal options. Their Chivo, goat stew, is outstanding. During lunch you usually find three or more rice options. The shrimp cocktail has cooked shrimp in a ceviche style dressing. The mojitos are fantastic, and I recommend the passion fruit. Their name sake, mofongo, is tasty mashed plantains served in a variety of options. We had it with pork belly and chicharron. Don't be surprised if you are the only non-latin person in this spot. It does not look like much in this lonesome strip mall, but the interior is simple and airy with a signature wall of plants. read more

This is such a hidden gem located in a plaza where Walmart is. There's a dine in and a fast food area where you "grab and go" if that makes sense. We were waited to be seated when we got there. Food comes in big portions! I was with a party of 4 (child included) and this meal "Pollo a la plancha deluxe" (deluxe is with Mofongo addee) filled up 3 people! The food was AMAZING! Well cooked and seasoned. The mofongo was definitely the best! I also ordered a side of tostones which was delicious. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Smelled delicious too! I definitely recommend this place. Wasn't too pricey at all. The meal itself was $18 but if you look at the photos, its a huge portion!! They also have happy hour M-F 4-6 buy one get one 1/2 off! They have mojitos, margaritas, rum and coke, etc. Our server, Yarelis, was rude and seem bothered which is why I give this post a 4 star. Otherwise, definitely recommend this place! read more
