"Sitting on a busy stretch of Saint Nicholas Avenue in Washington Heights, La Casa del Mofongo doesn’t take its name lightly. The entrance is marked by a towering pilon — the tool used to mash plantains for the Puerto Rican dish —and the menu boasts nearly 30 different types of mofongo. The portion sizes are generous; a friend and I ended up with several takeaway containers after a meal of mofongo con longaniza, a spiced pork sausage, and arroz con pollo, or rice with chicken. But carve out extra time to sit, as the service was pretty slow." - Eater Staff
