So Ive never had Puerto Rican-style food before, and holy hell Ive been missing out! I had a beef empanada and it was so hot and the meat was perfectly cooked! Then I had the chicken dish on loaded fries with this adobo seasoning and I could not stop eating it! The chicken was basically falling apart it was so tender! And that cheese on top! The drinks, all of the staff, and the atmosphere was also super fun and enjoyable! Im so happy this place is close by ^^
Me and my friend came in to eat we ordered are drinks first. And they came a hour later along with the food. Waitress came to us 2 times when the person that cleans the table took care of us
Oh my goodness the portions here are huge I ordered the pork shoulder dinner with fries for $9. It was crammed packed of meat. I ordered through doordash and put in special instructions to not have my fries in the same container as my meat but they still kept them in the same container despite me asking them not to. Its not that big of a deal but still, i asked so they should have done what I wanted.I ordered an empanadilla for $3 and it was ok. I wasnt super huge on all the vegetables they put in it but I appreciated the assortment of flavors it had, the bread to it however was delicious. I also got an extra bowl of pork for an additional $4.50. Which was probably about the same amount of meat I got in the meal. That meat was so good and Im glad I ordered extra. The fries were definitely bagged frozen fries that were pulled out and thrown in the fryer. I will definitely be back for the meat it was great flavor and huge portions that is a win-win for me
Dam flat out 5 stars this place . I had the fried pork Mofongo bowl loaded with rice and beans and tostones holy Moses was it good . I can see I’m going here on cheat day ! This is like the old school Puerto Rican cuisine the way they fried they pork it was like very flavorful. The staff super nice , and parking in the front or on the side . Take out only ,and their on the door dash platform. They have a nice variety of meals , and sandwiches to choose from . Bowl was very nicely priced , and quantity was just right . Average entrees around 10 dollars nicely priced.
Lately, the service has been inattentive. The food is fine, but other restaurants with longer histories of serving delicious Hispanic fair are nearby
The vibe here is nice and the food is good but the fried pork is always I mean always over cooked even when u tell them not to over cook it need to do better with the pork
The service was horrible! I came in with a friend and her daughter. There were 3 of us total. When we were done i ordered a togo. I noticed the server had added gratuity and tax on my togo order. I asked her why she said that on the restaurant part they add it everyone. I now noticed in my bank account that on top of the 20% tip she added another extra $2 to the bill without permission! I remembered my total and i noticed it was more than i signed the paper for !! On the menu it says parties 4 or more they can add 20% gratuity! I dont understand why she did it to our table when we were only 3 and she added it to my togo too!!!
I will never order again. I ordered the vegetarian platter and got pork. The person who took my order repeated it three times and still got it wrong. My order was also missing 2 items. When I called back no one answered. Highly disappointed!
This place is awesome I love the food. The service was also great!
Delicious El Cubano with excellent fries.
They did not disappoint!
I went their and it was kinda busy, after a short wait my fried pork mofongo came and it was very good. You could smell the garlic in the room. I liked the salad dressing alot too. I would go back
Cle Monfongo used to be my and my husband’s spot! We would go at least once a month. So of course when we saw the newer outdoor seating and beautiful bar inside, we got even more excited…. However, we were sadly disappointed tonight when we got our food. While the empanadas were delicious ans juicy, the plates of food has no presentation and were DRY! Not to mention, we waited almost 50 minutes for 2 plates of food! WHAT?!!? I guess we will be stopping by a little less. 😢
Mofongo is OK but too dry I couldnt swallow it .it needs chicken broth and butter to make it softer. We asked for dessert the female server said they dont sell dessert and said I was asking for too much. Only recommend take out dine in sucks.
Chicken wings were AMAZING. They are on door Dash and Uber Eats too. So good.
Super tasty food fast and friendly services i love to seat down and it there but right now is only takeout services still good services. I really recommend it and i definitely coming back later.
The mofongo was delicious! It wasn’t dry which it’s the case in most places. The fries were crispy outside and soft inside! I’m from PR and for sure recommend this place 😋
The food was great and new to me. Parking was difficult. I felt uncomfortable with the location. I wouldnt go alone. There were four of us.
The food and drinks were great and the service was decent. I was disappointed that they didnt have tortillas to make shrimp quesadillas, but the salmon dish was #GREATASTIC 😜🤪
Love the food here, although Ive had a few times that the chicken was way over cooked. The inside is nice.
Food is delicious, thats all you need to know.....now go buy some😛😛😛
I used to like this place, but now theyre being really skimpy on the serving size, so the high price doesnt meat (get it?) the meal. 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Didnt care for the food but atmosphere is good
My review is long overdue, but I highly recommend eating here because the food is delicious!! The Roasted Chicken dish along with the side of rice and beans (side of my choice) is always seasoned well! The Empanadilla with beef is very tasty! The portions are a great for the price and I was never disappointed. Do yourself a favor and stop by here to eat!
We travel here at least 3 times per year! Love this gem 💎
Went here for the first time today, and there is only one word to describe this place...PHENOMENAL! I was amazed at how much flavor the food has, especially the Rice & Beans! Everything tasted fresh, and you could tell that this Restaurant takes pride in their food. I have had food from other places(Caribe Bake Shop), and this place puts Caribe to shame!!!(I will NEVER go back to Caribe ever again!) I will most definitely be back here, and I will be telling all of my Friends & Family about this place! Not to mention the portions are perfect! I ordered the Roasted Chicken w/Rice & Beans, and the portions filled me up. This place is awesome...If you havent been here, you should most definitely come. Trust me, you wont be disappointed....
Its cool and they got music plus everyone makes you feel comfortable
Amazing food here and mixed drinks that will have you feeling real nice 😏
Delicious food and friendly staff. Affordable, too!
Excellent staff and excellent margaritas.... Price was a tad high, but worth it.
Food was delicious!!! Staff very friendly, great atmosphere!
Food is amazing everytime and the Woman that owns the joint is always so friendly. Love that I can grab a beer and wait for my togo orders keep it up!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ALL THE WAY AROUND.. I have never had fast food that was fast or good. you maybe just maybe get one or the other lol but this place was 100 on point with both.. MUST TRY PROMISE YOU IT WILL BE A NEW FAVORITE 😍 #JUSTICE4MIKEY
The vibe is 10 out of 5!!! The smell of the food hits you before you even realize that youre dancing in public due to the vibrant aroma of deliciousness. Ive NEVER had a bad meal or experience at this place.
This is my new go to place. The food was delicious. Small but clean, service was great!
Not as good as it used to be. Based on our experience tonight, we will not go back. Prices have gone up which is to be expected, and the meat portions have gone down.
The food was perfect! But, the staff needs to be more attentive to their clients.
Food was ver good. We will be back
It was my first time there and I drove 34 minutes to try it. The service was great and the woman at the counter recommended the Mofongo. The chicken was prepared and seasoned well, but the Mofongo bowl wasn’t. It came with lettuce and dressing although I swear the woman that took the order mentioned rice and beans. By the time I got the food home to eat the restaurant was closed to check on what I should have received. I am sure this is a great place with great food based on the reviews, so I am not saying you shouldn’t visit, I am just didn’t experience greatness. I might give it another shot, but I am not driving 33 minutes specifically for it, I would need to be in the neighborhood.
Service was great however the food could have used more flavor
Rice is always dry when I come here. Fat and skin is cut off of the chicharones never seen that in my life. When calling up to the restaurant to explain why she said it was not healthy to keep the fat and skin on. Excuse me Im ordering out Im not looking for healthy. I asked for bean sauce on the side and all they sent with my order was the bean juice no beans, the monfongo was very dry and had chunks of pork skin in it... this place is as not authentic as they say they are.
First time trying it. Looks great can’t wait to eat it
Great place to eat, super friendly staff and delicious food! 💖 Had a delicious shrimp quesadilla for lunch. Definitely recommend this place!
You all need to up date you food menu prices. I asked the cashier about that and she said the bar next door open in three weeks and they would have a whole new menu. I dont understand whats with the three week wait to update menu prices. I also told her I only needed 2 sauces 1 garlic and 1 ketchup mayo. Cashier said they were 4 for a dollar when I thought they were .25 cents a piece and still got charged a dollar when I only need 2 I ended up with 5 ketchup mayos. Smh. Probably be the last time I go there.
Friendly and the food was good. I can definitely see returning. Only thing was I ordered plantains and they werent what I was expecting (Jamaican style) so it was a waste but yeah.
Only one person taking orders the other girls were on the phones did not greet or make eye contact. Not pleasant at all.. Took 45 to take my order and claimed to not have or make a plate even though i had tried to call before hand and they dont pick up the phone..
Bartender was generally one of the coolest folks Ive met. Food made me laugh out loud it was so good and they have a new full-service bar that is phenomenal.
Very loud. Hard to order. Food was good. Could have used sauce. Wifes mofongo was good. The pork was great. I hope next time is better.
Horrible horrible horribleIf you like food with no taste this is your place
My wife and I absolutely love this restaurant and the employees. But like a previous person had stated the customer service level has changed. For some reason the females seem to be unhappy when dealing with the guests or answering questions but we were overlooking that until last night...... We showed up at 8:40pm to grab a bite on our way back home to Parma and the door was already locked and the employees just stood around looking at us at the door and saying nothing. We thought that was very rude considering they dont close until 9pm and it was 8:40pm. Another customer was wanting to gain access also but nobody seemed to care we were at the door. Very unprofessional and it hurts me to see such a great restaurant starting to do people this was with poor customer service. To you employees..... You serve a great food and you need to treat every guests like they are the first to ever walk through your door because without the guests you have no job. As far as the food goes....Amazing! Keep up the good work!Update: Spoke to owner and hes handling customer service issue. The owner does an awesome job and super friendly.... Thank you!
The food was good though my Puerto Rican partner stated they did not soak the cod long enough to get the excess salt out. The waitress we had was taking shots with a group of men after taking our order and ignored us afterwards, so much so that the cook brought our food out. The cook brought our food to our table and proceeded to serve us. We never got the beer my partner ordered only receiving the water I ordered. Then after asking for our check they did not know how to correct the bill so charged our card and gave us cash as a refund for the beer we never got.I really hope this was a random bad experience as we were excited to have some Puerto Rican Mofongo, I cannot explain just how weird this experience was.
Excelent, fast service. Delicious food!
Below average food. Empanadas are passable.
When the beans and rice tasted exactly like my grandmas, I knew that this was a great place. Authentic Puerto Rican food
So much food for such a small price and I cant wait to go back. The best Puerto Rican food in Cleveland
Amazing pernil, one of the best Ive ever had.. seasoned perfectly, juicy, good size portionMy wife is Puerto Rican and absolutely loves the mofongo from here; she says its better than her moms
Dont get me wrong great food but its really only getting three stars because of service every time I try to call and place an order in advance I get put on hold and forgotten about and then every time after I hang up and try to call back to get somebodys attention all I get is dial tone freaking ridiculous
We adore the food and when we used to come in the staff was very polite. The past couple of times weve come in the current host/cashier has been so incredibly rude, Ive never been spoken to with such attitude and so much eye rolling and unnecessary comments. And to give context, I work in the service industry so Im always extremely polite and friendly to hosts, cashiers, and waiters. Every time, the behavior has been completely out of nowhere. Unless a staff change occurs, we will probably stop coming.
Cleveland Mofongos dishes are excellent. Lots of hard work to smash those plátanos. I love the pernil, or roasted pork. So good! Very home made authentic. Love ❤️ definitely recommend this place. All of the updated to the location are gorgeous too. Nice and spacious. The outdoor patio looks so nice and relaxing. A day to dine in the city.
Excellent food! I was surprised to see that they now have a dinning room! Great staff!
I love this type of food however there where alot of cooks and nothing being cooked i seen ine of the guys pour old rice into hot rice to make a plate the manager was fussing I asked for water she said she got me and walked away still no water the beans tasted like salty pork and beans they were not pinto at all the chicken was a little dry the rice only if I had not seen what the guy did I would say it was good but I probably ate old rice mixed woth new
You guys need to update your menu at doordash, i try to order a mofongo wrap two times and always get rice and pinto beans with roasted pork. Not everyone eats rice and beans.
Delicious food, nice portions, friendly people! Ive ordered food here about 6 times now and every time was good. I usually stop by after I visit home depot. I can vouch for the roast pork and grilled chicken. Get the rice and beans, omg so good!
Food is beyond delicious. Only small issue Ive had is I thought they took call ins, but was told they dont which is fine, but theres been 2 times Ive gotten there to find out they were out of the item I came for. Sometimes it seems the staff is overwhelmed with the heat and orders but they are absolutely good people and will continue to support them. Love this place. Cleveland needs it
Loved the food got the mofongo and loaded tostones would get again! Great music and nice environment.
I absolutely love their food. They have excellent customer service. The food is always made fresh to order. My Favorite is the beef & chicken empanadas & the chicken quesadilla. I cant wait till they open up their bar side. Never had an issue each time I have went there.
Amazing, authentic food. Quick and reasonably priced. Clean building and friendly people. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for something out of the ordinary cuisines we find ourselves turning to day in and day out. Especially good if you like plantains! So tasty.
Im new to Cleveland, but Im well-acquainted with Puerto Rican food. Had to try a few things since I was excited to get some PR food out here in Ohio. Theres nothing like this out by the Akron area. The only Latin style place I know out there is Bomba. Its decent, but its fusion. Not even taking into account authenticity (which Cleveland Mofongo wins), Bomba still loses on quality and flavor.This is hands down the best Puerto Rican food Ive had off the island (not counting my mothers, but nothing beats a home cooked meal from a latina mom who can reallly cook). Im from MA, but Ive eaten PR food in upstate NY, NYC, CT, and of course MA. Between Springfield and Boston, the PR restaurants far outnumber what Ohio has to offer, but Im still going to have to go with Cleveland Mofongo.Ordered the roasted pork shoulder dinner. The pork was tender, tasty and plentiful. I experienced multiple textures, which is awesome, because at most places Ive been to, the pork can be either a little dry or completely boring and uniform in consistency (no fat marbling or pockets of juiciness against crispy bits).Even so, the rice and beans were the star of this dish, and that is saying a lot coming from me, because I typically go for the meat more. But I havent found a PR place that serves rice and beans like PR people actually cook at home. The portions in which these places make their rice have to be way larger than at home, so I see why quality and authenticity can be lost when comparing it to a bowl of rice and beans your mom just served off the stovetop. But at Cleveland Mofongo, the rice and beans tasted like the cook specially made an order in a separate pot for me.I also had a side of tostones which were perfectly fried. The portions were family size despite being only $3.50, and they came with a special sauce called Deliciousness sauce. Im fan of special sauces (mixture of mayo and some other sauce that gives it a red-orange color), but this one managed to taste unique and the texture was less goopy. It held onto the tostone and behaved more like a dip. I ordered an extra garlic oil sauce to dip the tostones in, and I alternated both with the garlic oil just barely having the edge for me.Finally, I had a beef empanadilla. This one was a hit for me, but for different reasons than the other foods. It tasted a lot different than what I I had when my mom cooked me some or when I had visited the island or even in the states. Maybe the owners are Cuban and this is their version or maybe they make it different in the area of PR theyre from, but the meat was a different texture and the fried dough was thinner, lighter, and crispier. But I highlight these differences not as a negative, but as a positive, because I really like their take. I wish I bought two.I did find a mistake in my order. I ordered a bottle of Coke, which they were out of, but they replaced it with a can of Kola Champagne, because they didnt have bottled Coke or cola. Bottled soda is more expensive than canned soda, so I expected them to change the price to $1.00 listed on Doordash. Most Doordash orders Ive had up until now run the price up on drinks and Im usually paying $2.50 for a can and over $3 for 20oz bottles, so I didnt care about the 50 cent upcharge, because the price was still only $1.50. Kola Champagne actually tastes more like cream soda than cola, but Im glad they replaced it, because it brings back memories of when I was young going out to get PR food with my family. The authentic way to eat a PR meal. Ill never try to order Coke from this place again.All these items are a repeat for me some day. I like to try the menu out so Ill be giving other items a try before then (eyeing the Mofongo, but there are others things on the menu that look great, too), but either way Im definitely ordering from here again.
Good mofongo and carne frita (fried pork)!!!
Great service bar tender, DJ, and food
Bad service food was cold. Food no taste
Good music, good food and good service!
I had the fried roast pork Mofongo. It was delicious, garlic oil on everything, and sooo tasty. A great portion size, I have some for tomorrows lunch, if it lasts that long. Fast service and a really clean small eat in area. Thank you for a great first experience, I will return for certain.
I cant say enough good things about this restaurant!! The food is AWESOME!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great food , great people an all around fantastic place to dine!! Love the variety in the menu. The music really sets the mood!!!
Awesome experience!Friendly and professional!Vanessa and the crew were on point, both language spoken Spanish and English, and the best part was definitely the food, our family bought a variety of food and it was all amazing, thanks for everything!
Definitely my go to restaurant for lunch or dinner. Nice/perfect and convenient dining area as well!! Food is definitely quality made and kid friendly. Service was very knowledgeable on the menu and polite! My daughter and I will be back!!
Absolutely love it! First time here, I was in the area and just had to visit. Empanadas were delicious, the chicken dish was so flavorful. Staff was friendly, and maybe waited 5 minutes.Id absolutely visit again!
After our honeymoon in Puerto Rico we were not ready to leave the island behind and thanks to you all we didnt have to completely! We are so grateful to live in a diverse city like Cleveland. Here incredible and authentic cuisine from all corners of the globe are made and served up by hard working and talented people who love to share their culture.
This place wows me. The flavours are unbelievable. They are really carrying and they are bilingual. So if you need them to talk to you in Spanish or English they are able to do it. You can buy food to go too. And we experienced 3 different offers from the menu and they were all good. You have a green light in this one in my opinion.
When cleveland mofongo first open i tried your food i was disappointed so after all this time i decided to try it again and was very disappointed again my Cleveland cuban was not good at all all i tasted was the pickle and it was on a hoggie bun also my loaded fries was soggie because it looked like they had put the fries and the pork and cheese on top of it and but it the microwave to melt the cheese and it made the cheese hard my carne frita was hard like a rock and my rice tasted a little sour and the amount of it was not worth the price im so disappointed with it i will not be returning to this restaurant again.
As always good food and ambience
They have great service. Their food is amazing. Made with love from the soul. Brought back great childhood memories eating. I will definitely be recommending this place. And will definitely be coming back. 😍😍😍
I walked in and saw the blah-looking atmosphere; for a split second I considered walking right back out. Im glad I didnt, because the food was THE BEST. I mean the food was awesome. I will definitely be back. Thank you for the GREAT food!!!
Nice place good food and cold drinks good job.
Such amazing food. Different options can make each time a different experience. I love coming here.
The Cleveland Cubano was DELICIOUS and the adobo fries were just as tasteful! Not to mention the staff was very cheerful and diligent. I am pleased that I got to experience Cleveland Mofongo and I plan on enjoying some of their food again in the near future.
Its outstanding! The food is fresh, authentic and delicious. There are places to sit inside. The prices are reasonable. I love this place and you will too!!
Ive had better food elsewhere. But not bad. And close to home.
Food was great, real delicious. The only reason my rating is not a 5 is because i ordered a shrimp mofongo and only received like 5 pieces of shrimp... For what Cleveland mofongo charges i was expecting a good amount of shrimp.. Atleast compare it to the amount of meat you get for the pernil or chicken... But the taste was great so thank you.
This place has the best food Ive had in a long time! I just cant get enough!!! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!
We walked in in middle of a snow storm. The owner couldnt have been friendlier and attentive. The food was amazing and to top it all off he gave us complimentary rice and beans!!! What??? Great experience.
I called to place my order and they had me on hold for 15 minuets so I hanged up. I decided to drive there since is not that far from me. Very nice greeting and the cashier very nice. I order 2 Mofongos with fried pork and it was good; I also order 4 empanadillas, 2 beef and 2 chicken. They gave me 3 chicken and 1 beef and the chicken ones had a lot of chicken skin (disgusting) and they were not cooked on the inside because they probably put them in the deep fryer frozen... To the garbage they went. The place is small but cozy, no parking and it was like 120 degrees inside the restaurant.
Loved it! The wait time was decent for a busy place so I was surprised! The food was very fresh and DELICIOUS! Prices are fair as well so I recommend everyone go enjoy a great meal there
Okay, so I absolutely love this spot. Unfortunately this has been my 3rd time not enjoying my Mofongo with Bistec 😞 3rd time being super dry....although the taste of the mix of the mofongo is AMAZING!!! But too dry....even the Bistec was dry. Please fix the issue! I so love it here! Thanks and please!
Excellent food in both quality and authenticity. Prices are really awesome, and the customer service is great. Accommodating for vegetarians as well which is a giant plus! Definitely check this place out if youre in the area!
Great food, you get a lot but dont pay a lot. Their empanadillas are great! Juicy with flavor, tender on the inside, crisp on the outside,and not soggy and dry like these other places. Ill be back!
Is so sad the you want to eat something so bad and is not made right...I order the mofongo and shrimp al ajillo and I got home and it was so dry but really dry no juice on it, it was anything else but mofongo with shrimp al ajillo, I did not taste the garlic at all and the mofongo you hardly couldnt see or taste the chicharon (crackling)...thank God I had some shrimp at home some garlic and butter I made my own ajillo and I was able to eat it....this place used to be so good, now I would not go back...for $11.50 is not worth the money.
Amazing Food, Amazing Flavor with wholesome ingredients and fresh quality.
It was a pleasant experience besides not having a parking space near the restaurant but the food itself was good, the service was good and the location is clean ... Personally I feel they can improve on their portions but overall I would suggest them if you happen to be in their area.
The drinks were great and the manger went out her way to make sure any problems we had were fixed thank you we will visit again
Best Place Around,Great Food with super friendly service. and now they have expanded they area wow it looks so nice. so if your around town this is a must stop to try !
Upon opening I would give this place 5 stars but the last 3x I’ve gotten food here it wasn’t up good I LOVE the fried plantains but they have been a oily soggy mess the past few times, please drain oil off before putting in a carry out order ☹️
The food is absolutely amazing, the girls taking your order are very nice and get it done. Im definitely going back asap!
I placed an order for pickup said it would be a 30 min wait -okay woman on the phone very polite and kind while taking my order - got my order - when I got to my car and checked it there was no extra order of deliciousness sauce (but they didnt charge me for it so no harm no foul I guess) then I noticed they gave me tostones instead of plantains and I specifically asked for plantains so idk how I ended up with tostones but I was hungry and just wanted to get home, then when I took out the empanadillas they were marked incorrectly and I took a bite out of the wrong one! The fries and empanadillas were both not crispy but the entrees had a great flavor to them that I enjoyed but I thought the Togo packaging was kinda cheap i mean when I go to a jamaican restaurant they fill that thang up and it has different sections and all the sections are filled this was just a little togo box I literally ate everything in one sitting and that never happens. Overall I wouldnt go back ill stick to Campus Grill in Berea now they got good stuff
Love this neighborhood spot. Had an amazing lunch today. Even amidst their restaurant renovation, the service is as good as their food, especially love their delicious(ness) sauces.
Very disappointed, used to always order from here but will not for a while. I called at 8:10pm to place 1 quick order and was told I was not allowed because they close at 9. So if I would’ve walked in at that time you would’ve turned away my business?
The food was delicious! The place needs a little more of life if you know what I mean! It would be preferable to order your food to go because the place is small and a little boring!I recommend ordering pernil (puerto rican pulled pork) its delicious, they also provide vegetarian options tops (it very nice for people who dont eat meat)
Rice and beans are good.Side of shrimp in sauce with onions omg to die for.
The place is clean, but the food lacks flavor at all it compares to Puerto Rican food , Also the staff when they are attending do not tell you (welcome, no good afternoon, much less thank you for coming have a good day) bad customer service ; that is my experience about the place, I will not return sorry ..
I love this place delicious ethnic food its top notch just like moms
Great food!! Reasonable prices!! Very small eating area(thats why only 4 stars). Good service. A repeat restaurant!!
So good! So authentic! This food just made me so happy!This was my 5 star review from a year ago, had to change it to 3 stars. Ive been back 3 times for the same amazing mofongo that I had the first time, no such luck! Very disappointing! Its incredibly dry now, just a dry lump of plantains and the pork cracklins are rubbery and unchewable. The 3 remaining stars are for the young lady up front, shes very good at her job no matter how dry the mofongo is.
Great Puerto Rican food!!! You get exactly what you pay for! Amazing food...friendly customer service...clean place. Would definitely recommend 👍👍
Great food and good prices. The whole group from Cleveland Mofongo are very polite. They made me and my family feel very welcome. Thank you Cleveland Morongo, keep up the good work.
Food is amazing, creative, and fast for a Puerto Rican place. Cute clean place, more for takeout, but seating to eat in. Wish the chairs were a little more comfy but probably our new favorite PR restaurant!
Cost effective and absolutely amazing food! 100% worth it. Very kind staff as well!
Food is great if you can get through on phone. I spent 15 minutes trying to get through. I finally do and they put me on hold. After being on hold for ever I hang up and try again and I am back to not being able to get through. Fix your phone problems. People have lived and schedules to keep
I love this place they never disappoint, I can’t wait to try the new menu
Vonnie our waitress was great! The food and vibes were amazing.
The food is always flavorful and the staff is friendly. I look forward to the bar side opening!
Im a huge fan of this place. The vegetarian platter is too yummy. Seasoned rice with grilled onions and peppers, black beans and side salad with an impressive version of Italian dressing featuring pineapple juice🤗🤗🤗🤗. The guava and cheese empanadas are soooooo good. If you like plaintains youll like a Mofongo dish.
It seems like they have different cooks because some days the mofongo is better than others. They have stopped adding pork rind to their mofongo which takes away from the authentic flavor and it can use a little more garlic which both are what make a mofongo.
They would get a 5 for most of their delicious food products. But I’m giving them at 2 because they broadcast and have things on the menu 24/7 that they don’t ever have available. I’m highly considering never coming back and I’ve been coming since they first opened. It’s very disappointing and frustrating when you show up and they have posted up items constantly that is never there for purchase 👎🏽👎🏽
The pork quesadilla, pork mofongo, and beef empanadillas here are truly what dreams are made of. A personal favorite spot for my wife and I. We love bringing our out of town friends here to impress them with the delicious food Cleveland has to offer, haha! Service is always excellent. Food is always hot & fresh. No complaints, ever.
First time was not so good it was the first day Cleveland mofongo opened... Been there 3 times in two weeks and I love it... Had a little issue with an empandilla took it back the owner was so cool about it hooked us up without a problem. The staff is so nice to but my pernil sandwich is amazing so is the shrimp mofongo the empandillas r so good to I definitely give this place 5 stars food is great n staff is awesome... Glad they put this so close an didnt make it a pizza place again. I enjoy everything about this place and the prices r reasonable. Watch out Rincon they got the best mofongo around now and way more pleasant staff
Great service and the food was so good! Cant wait to go back again!
The best Cuban food Ive had in Cleveland yet. Its a walk up seat yourself thats why the only reason I wouldnt give it 5 Stars really super friendly staff upgrade owner Eric clean centrally located
Awsome nice food people friendlyAsk for vany she will take care of uThanks again
Amazing service,portions,food,atmosphere,and prices! My wife and I will eat once a week here atleast! Highly recommend the entire menu!!
Great hospitality. Great food. Will return. Cant wait for the other side to open!
Excellent food... Service was great & the Beer was Cold...!
10 out of 10. Would absolutely go again. Great service and delicious food. Very affordable with nice sized portions. Can recommend the empanadas.
Bartender was very nice and knowledgeable
Well..well this terrific place here and is not because Im puertorrican, is because the food is just cook right and always fresh and hot we love it.. my husband is black and he usually dont like all the food from our isla...but boy oh boy he does like the chicken empanadillas...and that Cuban sandwich is to die for...you guys are doing a excellent job and like I said before is not because you guys are (boriquas, puertorrican), or Latinos like myself, if the food is good is good period period..the food is just delicious..not salty just right..keep up the excellent job... Iris and Robert.😊
Delicious flavor, best Puerto Rican food I have had in a long time and I grew up in Lorain! I had the pork Mufango bowl and it was so packed with flavor and so moist!
I am so embarrassed..I spoke up this awesome restaurant and bragged about it. A coworker got there during lunch and was told that they only had pizza empanadas and this during lunch; your busiest time. How do you not prepare for lunch rush hour? Never will I ever refer anyone....But I will not give up on them for myself. lol lol
Rico Excellent excellent excellent food service we had the shrimp mofongo rice and beans, platano Maduro, tostones , everything tested Rico rico.
Great food,needs a lil work on the exhaust system,youll smell just like what you ate
Great food. Great service.We showed up for lunch with a party of 8/9 and didnt have to wait all lunch hour for our food. Our lunch hour turned into a party
The cleveland mofongo didnt look like much when it arrived on the plate but the wonderfully seasoned pork, garlic explosion of the plantains blew me away. Flavorful and varied. The quesadillas also have actual flavor instead of just cheese and chicken. Also Ive never had the coconut soda and that rocks too. I keep looking for an excuse to go back.
I ordered the mofongo con bistec. The mofongo itself was very moist and the steak seasoned and cooked just how Id expect from a Puerto Rican restaurant. However, I have to retract two stars from this place based on the fact that my initial order was mofongo con pechuga (Chicken Breast) and the young lady at the cash register stated that they dont make that, which I found to be unusual. The other star? I looked at their selection of drinks. They had Malta, but it was the Goya brand. That would make most Puerto Ricans raise an eyebrow.
Im from Chicago illinois came into Cleveland from Pittsburgh with my wife,brother,and his wife i have one word WOW very impressive Great food and very down to Earth people working there i highly recommend it . We will visit again before heading to Chicago.many blessings Cleveland Mofongo.
One of the best Puerto Rican food ever. A must go and try.
The food here is always AMAZING!!and this visit was no different, would always recommend this place for a good dish.
First time I’ve ever got rice and beans and it’s actually amazing now I see what the hype is about thank you for the fresh food even tho I came 15 mins before closing pregnant lady happy 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾
Visited from out of town and came to Cleveland Mofongo based on a family recommendation. Ordered a mofongo bowl con carne frita and it was excellent and filling! Keep it up!
Food is always good. customer service sucks though, rude girl taking orders & cant seem to get it right. Eric should try to get friendlier staff
Very good. Friendly. Fast. Vanessa was heldful and told us about the dine in section. I cannot wait!
Was good. Ran out of pork
The service was great they were friendly from the time I walked in until I left we got a to go order food was fresh and full of flavor...I would definitely recommend them..
Real good food. I will recommend it
I give three stars because our order frequently is not correct. I will continue to order from here because it is good local spanish food.
Good food, reasonable pricing!! Their food rocks!! Ate here first time a year ago and still remember how good it was!!
I dined out but it was really clean all around if I have time I would definitely dine in, the taste very authentic
I ordered a Cuban and roast pork sandwich they were both very good. Employees are generous. Thank you
Doesnt have flavor the mofongo they dont put garlic or salt and the shrimps poor flavor they need.to use spices for our Latin food.
Food was good and service was even better. Received very welcoming service the whole time there. Will be back in abundance
Amazing!! Live music , good vibes, great food and drinks.
The food is amazing and the staff are friendly and hardworkers! Never disappointed!
Great food, had one of the best Cuban sandwiches, and wife had the fried pork meal.
Good food, just not consistent in flavor and portions.
Right now theyre working on expanding. Food is excellent and large portions. We will definitely be back.
Food is always made fresh. Friendly fast service. The food is delicious!! I will go back again and again.
I only delivered the food, it smelt good it was hot. The ppl serving were polite and they use doordash for delivery. The restuarant was packed with happy customers
I have never had monfongo that tasted ssooo good.. Definitely our go to place when we are in Cleveland again.. Excellent service and excellent food!!!!
I finally ate here and was disappointed. Foods was dry!! Wayy Too garlicky... no other flavor!!
Just arrived to place an order. Was turned away saying were closed. Its not 9 oclock. Well last service is at 830. What kind of customer service is that... Usually I get great service. Poor poor poor..
LOVE IT FIRST TIME GOING IT WAS REALLY GOOD. I WOULD RECOMMENDED TO GO THERE AND TRY IT.
Delicious Food. Friendly and professional staff. Fun laidback environment. Great prices and portions.
The Mofongo bowl is amazing, I would give this place 10 star rating if I could.
Awesome place to eat my own Puerto Rican food
Not as good as when it first opened..seems like the cooks have changed and the service is getting a bit lazy...past few times my take out order has been wrong which is pretty disappointing, when i drive across town just to get food..good place just hope it goes back to as good as it was
I want to give these people a 5, but chewy pork, and the smell of old oil isnt good enough. If they took a bit more time and care it would go a long way.
Awesome food, excellent service... First time there... I love it!!!
Delicious! Packed with flavor and service was incredibly friendly. (They also carry my favorite drink: tamarind)
Always very delicious food. Love the nutella marshmallow empanadas
I wish we had one in medina ohio!!! But no matter Ill drive a hour to eat again. Great people great food.
First time trying today , sooooo good . the tostones so fresh and not dry ! great amounts of food , should have been tried the place out. forsure will be back again to try the mofongo

Just moved here a month ago and decided to go try Cleveland Mofongo and the food was great and my wife is very picky where she eats and she loved it first time she say she love Latin place everywhere we been didnt like it but she loved this keep it guys !!
A great place to get a tasting of Puerto Rican Food. They are also inside the Rocket Stadium in Downtown Cleveland.
I cant wait until the full service restaurant opens. Great food!
The food was great did the service was spectacular
Best Puerto Rican food! Everyone needs to try this place! Service is top notch too!
Food was fresh and really good. Reminded me of grandmas cooking with true Latino spice.
Reasonably priced!! The staff was awesome! We enjoyed our drinks and food.
Awesome food and people. Place is more for takeout--it can get cramped. Food is always fresh
Great food! Everything is so good

2022-05-02Food is okey! Portions are small! The prices are okey but not for the portions. The spot is small not too much space to eat with your family. If you’re four you’re gonna be fine, more than that… uncomfortable.There’s one thing, they added the tip in the ticket, which is not okey, cause tip is OPTIONAL! And they add the 20% when the minimal suggested is 15%. Other than that, overall everything is just okey.

2021-10-25Is not the best Mofongo in the word, if you are Dominican... But was good, I like the Empanadas, and the Flancocho is ok. Service was good. But I think they need more Latin Flavor... and Ambiance (like latin music)

2022-01-30My family and I live close so we have ordered food to-go from Cleveland Mofongo plenty of times.Today, my husband, son and I met up with friends and had our first dine-in experience. We had such a great time catching up with friends and even tried a few new items from the menu. Everything was delicious!Veronica, our waitress was INCREDIBLE and added to the great energy that was already present in the restaurant. The food is always good, the new dine-in area is vibrant and the upbeat music just adds to the dynamic energy and overall experience. Veronica was so much fun and made us all laugh several times. She shared with us that this was her first time being a server and it just goes to show that it doesn’t always matter how much “experience” someone has but rather it is the energy and passion that people put into things that truly makes the difference.

2021-09-04Mofongo was my favorite place to hit but lately it’s been breaking my heart. Food is always delicious, but during our last three experiences we’ve received the wrong items (which is why the DoorDash ticket states to double check this specific item). We wouldn’t mind the staff messing around in the back and even being a bit rude at the register if we actually got the food we paid for. Would love to see this improve over time.

2022-06-26So I have been searching for a new Mofongo place since Bereas Campus Grille shut down due to the pandemic. I have to say that this place is just ok, not really the best I have had. When I ordered multiple mofongos, the meat was unfortunately overcooked and very tough. I didnt get any sauce for it so it was just very difficult to eat and for the price tag I paid I really expected more. I spent over $60 for 3 mofongos and one flancocho (very small piece for about $7) and just wished it would have been better. Gave them 3 stars because the ladies that attended me were very pleasant.

2022-06-13The workers were great and the atmosphere was amazing. The music was good and so were the drinks. I didnt get to eat any food so I cant rate that. Id definitely go back.

2022-06-05Food is Great and their Empanadas are amazing however they sell out quick. I was told the supply cant keep up with the demand. The service can be a little too slow at times but it may be to the shortage of staff.

2022-06-19Definitely a go-to when Im on the west side! The food fills you up, and I dont mind the prices because the quality is top notch! The only thing I wish is that they had the impossible empanada like they advertised, but other than that, Ill be a customer for life!

2022-06-25They have good customer service here and were time efficient. BUT we just spent $85 on food here for us to be super disappointed. The monfongo was so dry and no flavor at ALL. The pork was no help either, so dry. The roasted chicken DRY AND BLAND. The shrimp quesadilla still had the tails on the shrimp! Like come on. Thats pure laziness. The rice tasted regular not like an authentic puerto rican flavor. The loaded tostones were ok but the tostones had no flavor. The empanadillas were good but the beef ones were dry. The portions were small for the price you pay. As a restaurant who is representing puerto ricans, this needs improvement because I know how it should taste being a puerto rican myself! The price you pay for food is lowkey sad because the food is not that good! Do better so you can continue being appreciated!!!
