"A meal at this family-run Puerto Rican restaurant in North Hollywood isn’t exactly a light affair, but after a week of not even being able to keep down carbonated water, you aren’t in the business of counting calories. Our recommendation is to start with the appetizer platter that comes with beef-filled potato balls and yucca fritters, and then end with the carne guisada mofongo. It’s a mountain of deep-fried green plantains topped with a savory beef stew that’ll make a quick dent in your nutrition deficiency." - brant cox
