The 15 Best Caribbean Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Your refrigerator broke, your muffler is doing that thing again, and all your new headshots look like they were taken in the dark. It’s been a rough week and you need comfort. Go to Mofongos. At this family-run Puerto Rican restaurant in North Hollywood, every meal needs 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 your leaky freezer feel like an afterthought." - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
