I have been wanting to come here for years and we finally made it. It did not disappoint. The food was delicious, ambiance was casual and laid back, and the decor was great. Don't find Rican cuisine often ao i had this bookmarked for some time.
We even got to soeak to the owner who was super nice. We had the sampler bandera, the rellenos de papa y pastelillos were stellar. Generously filled with meat and the crunch on the pastelillo was 10. The alcapuria was tasty, seemed like it was yuca masa. The pastel wrapped in hoja de platano was decent, also generous portion of pork chunks for the filling.
We both had mofongo con pernil and the mofongo was super flavorful and moist, tons of great garlic flavor and crunchy pieces of chicharon.
Looking forward to returning 🇵🇷!
It was good. Had the bacalatios fish fritters. They were really flat and didn't really taste like fish. Just like flat fried nothing. The yuca fries were really good. So was the black beans and rice. The dessert was delicious flan queso. Prices good. Service good.
Right in North Hollywood is Mofongos. A popular Puerto Rican dish, mofongos are green plantains mashed by hand and combined with garlic and crispy pork skin often paired with meat. The restaurant has cozy, welcoming vibes and is comfortable. It was nice to periodically get asked if everything was okay. Street parking is available, and there was plenty parking available on this visit. The plantains were sweet and absolutely delicious! I also enjoyed the crab Alcapurria De Jueyes. The sauce to go with it was pretty good, too! You can choose from fried chicken, shrimp, or even fried chicken tender mofongos. And to wash it all down? The Virgin Pina Colada with a cherry on top...! Mission accomplished!
Indulging in the rich taste of authentic Puerto Rican food at Mofongos Restaurant in NoHo!
In case you didn’t know, Mofongo is a classic Puerto Rican dish made up of mashed plantains that are fried and shaped into a bowl. That bowl is then filled with savory meat, like steak, chicken or pork. I enjoyed it with chicken breasts and stew. Fun fact about food from PR… it’s NOT spicy. There are a ton of flavors, but none are caliente. It was great for lunch and paired nicely with a cold coconut water. The owner and staff are amazing and super attentive :) When it comes to the ambiance, you are transported directly to the island of Puerto Rico.
If you’re looking for delicious and flavorful Puerto Rican food in LA, then Mofongos is your spot!

Food was very fresh and tasty. I appreciated the low-salt, high-flavor food items. We enjoyed every item we ordered.
Came here for a mofongo and jibarito and both were delicious. The pernil jibarito was tasty but the steak and onion mofongo was a real standout. Loved how garlicky the mofongo was and the steak was very flavorful.

Love. Love. Love. My Puerto Rican friend recommended Mofongos and I HAD TO STOP. the food was filling and so delicious. The waiter came to check on me and was very welcoming. I can't give this place enough praise. Definitely will stop again when I'm back in town.
Love the food! Stopped here for lunch on a rainy day, luckily they have outdoor shade that was very well protected. Outdoor has much more light (sunlight) than inside and it was breezy too. Menu was pretty overwhelming for a first timer for this cuisine like me but I asked for recommendations and it turned out quite well. The server had clear explanation and didn’t confused me. The all-in-one starter plate is definitely the best value. The price was about the same as a main dish but it’s very filling. Mofongo is a must-try!! Plenty of street parking around the restaurant.
I’ve had this restaurant saved for a while now and I finally got to try it. Food was delicious & the customer service was great. Definitely coming back.
