El Mofongo Ahogao

WOW JUST WOW, don’t skip this place, quick friendly service with reasonably priced food that is delicious. I gave the atmosphere 3 stars just because is very small and is hard to get a table. Take it to go and enjoy it elsewhere.

Incredibly fast service. Very tasty food the carne frita (fried pork chunks) were so incredibly tender i was in shock. Nice lunch place if you’re a tourist or a person working by this area

Hi I came here with my dad this afternoon around close to 2:00. The first time I came to this location was when it was in its early stages as a restaurant in 2012. Years later we didn’t know how good the place was until a relative of mine told us it was. To start with our orders I had the Serenata Bacalao with Mofongo and a small salad that came along with it. As for my dad he wanted to have something that was bistec but in the end he ended up having pieces of pork. Because he said he wanted carne, it could mean pork not beef in Spanish when it comes to the menu. As for the food we ate I would say mine came out excellent and the mofongo size was great in having. As for my dad he had the pieces of pork which I believe was the carne frita which came with tostones. My dad liked the way how the meat was tender, as for the tostones he liked that it was crunchy. The layout of the restaurant inside was interesting to see. We had a great experience coming here, and we may have plans in coming back here again in the future.

Got mofongo and ropa vieja for Lunch. One of the best mofongos I had ever! I will rate this place with 7 (seven) of five stars. And the price? Super low for such a nice dish! 100% recommended!

Service was fast with a smile. The deserts were old, with a funny taste. Soup was good.

Went here three times and will be back again. Unprecedented quality, taste and price. Healthy and tasty puertorican meals for our entire family (toddlers, kids, adults and elderly). Tried half of the menu and everything is amazing!

The Mofongo was decent, and the chicken was pretty dry. The space was pretty small, but the service was quick. All in all....this was one of the places I only had to visit once.

This is the best store bought (respecting my wife's cooking) mofongo I have EVER had. The twist of offering chicken broth to dunk the mofongo is the tie breaker. The carne frita was tender and flavorful. This is the place to eat mofongo.

I was born and raised on the island and I can honestly say if this is not THE best Mofongo is on the top 3. Getting an authentic Puerto Rican mofongo on the island, with the fresh grated garlic and the chicharron smashed in a pilon, has become a difficult task since it requires a lot of work that not many businesses are willing to go through. Must of them want to serve a flavorless plantain purée that doesn't look or taste like a mofongo but they called it that way anyways. So if you really want to have an authentic culinary experience of Puerto Rican food where locals eat, this is the place. I strongly recommend to visit off lunch hours because it can get crowded and the place is small. Don't miss "El Mofongo Ahogao" best dish on the menu, is a MUST! The dish consist of the mofongo in the middle of the plate drowned in a chicken broth, a match made in heaven, and ask for a slice of avocado on the side, HIT. Eat like a local! Enjoy

Very small place I got sick with the bacalao guisado and the mofongo with pork It was my first time there and she didn't asked me if I wanted with pork and gave it to me without warning. Not recommended.

The mofongo ahogao never disappoints. It's always delicious, as is the crispy chicharrón that comes with it. They usually ask if you want avocado, but not this time. Maybe they were out. If you have the option, get it. I've also had the serenata de bacalao, but that wasn't as good. It was a bit dry. The budín was fine.

It's a sit down place to eat & run food is hot & very good. I enjoyed the moment It's not fancy place...but you can take it to go!

The best Cuban Sandwich I had i years l a most try. Real meat no cold cuts. Taste is incredible the price afortable. The size is great too.

Ese Mofongo que hacen está brutal! El caldito sabroso y si le añades aguacate coronas el plato.He probado otros platos y son deliciosos! Pena que sea tan pequeño.

El Mofongo Ahogao shares a building with Buxeda Funeral Home. Don't worry, this isn't a Sweeny Todd type of operation... at least, I hope not. What gives the restaurant it's name is it's signature dish, the mofongo ahogao (drowning mofongo). It is a mofongo "drowning" in homemade chicken stock. It comes with a piece of chicharrón on top and the option of a side of avocado. It is super delicious. One of the best mofongos I have ever had. The rest of the menu is your standard criollo menu, with items such as carne frita, churrasco, biftec, sandwiches, etc... It is all mostly good. A big miss for me were the fish tacos. I can't say for sure if it was a new addition to the menu or a special, but I am a fish taco guy, so when I see fish tacos on a menu I want to try them. They were among the worst fish tacos I've ever had. All being said, the real reason to come here is for the mofongo ahogao. They also serve breakfasts. The restaurant is not very big. Parking is shared with the funeral home and flower shop that share the building.

Having been indoctrinated into the world of pastelillos, I went here looking for another great one, as it was just down the block from my AirBnB, and open late. I chose the Pastelillo Queso and guyayaba. Both were good, and really appreciated being able to try the guyayab flavor. This looks like a good quality, affordable place to hang out and pick up some good eats.

Terrible experience, super expensive, the mofongo was cold and dry and the seafood was cold from the fridge. I would not recommend this place. No lo recomiendo, la comida estaba muy cara, el pulpo frío y el mofongo también. Y muy poco marisco por el precio.

Shrimps were never de-vein by the lazy cook. Also the cooks stare at customers up and down not very inviting, Also very loud. Dishes are piled up on top of garbage you would think with covid-19 employees would clean up. My mofongo was full of a quarter stick of butter reason I know is because the lazy cook left the wrapper of butter in my mofongo along with the dirty Shrimps

We drove 30 minutes to this restaurant. It was worth it! The food was amazing. The place is small, but very clean. The girls in the front taking your order and serving are grumps and rude.

After a long day of adventuring this really hit the spot. My girlfriend ordered their shrimp with mofongo and I ordered the pork chops with mofongo. It's a little out of the way when it comes to tourist but it's definitely worth the drive. Would come back again and again.

Came to try the mofongo ahogao. The broth kept the mofongo moist. The color of the broth was a deep golden yellow but it didn't taste as rich as it looked. There was a lot of garlic in the mofongo which was nice. It is a simple straight forward dish. The place is small but a lot of people go there, lots of parking.

This place is always super packed around lunch time, but it is really really good. The food is excellent and the staff are very diligent about trying to get orders moving. It's packed for a reason. I actually really like their mofongo.

Food is GREAT! I've only had mofongo ahogado but it is one of the best mofongos I've eaten. It is not fancy or in a touristy place but it is good and cheap.

This is my favorite place to get mofongo. Sure, you can get pretty decent mofongo in any place in Puerto Rico, but nothing compares to "El Mofongo Ahogao." I can show up absolutely starving and leave extremely full (my favorite.) I usually get the congrí rice, with a mofongo de plátano, and an avocado. Delicious, and not for a terribly high price. If you are able to avoid crowded rush times, then this will be a great place for lunch!

Visited here while on vacation. We had tried different versions of mofongo at several restaurants. The Mofongo Ahogao from here was by far was the best of our entire trip. The broth was delicious and was a perfect compliment since all mofongo generally tends to be a little dry. And the pork skins to top it took the dish to the next level. We are now back home and wishing that we could have this again soon. Will definitely be back on our next trip.

We love this place. Not sure why it has 3 stars. The food is delicious, the portions are very reasonable, and the ambient and service is good. What more can you ask for...

The best Mofongo in Puerto Rico. I mean their specialty is as tasty as you could imagine. 100% recommended
