Mofongo Candela — Restaurant in Florida

I love Puerto Rican mofongo, to begin when we walked in all of the containers from the daily buffet I had seen on the pictures were empty/not been used in days. that should have been my sign! We were sited and I asked for parcha juice and I was told they don't have any, they only had tamarindo and maracuya 🤷🏽‍♀️. So I asked for maracuya which any Puerto Rican knows is parcha! At this time I realized they were not Pueo Rican! Before going there I had read some good reviews about this place, maybe they are new owners! I ordered mar y tierra mofongo filled with chicharron. I got mofongo filled with pernil not chicharron ( this is my first time ever seeing mofongo filled with pernil) the pernil was old or fried I don't know! It could not be chewed on; it was like rope, the shrimp were so small, I think they were salad shrimp, the steak was tasteless, undercooked and small. I was not able to eat the pernil filled mofongo ( tasted like mashed plantain no flavor), I ate a bit of steak an left it. I did eat the shrimp because I was starvng ! And to put the cherry on top, I must have asked for the bill 3 times because in the middle of our meal our waiter left and another person who was tending the other tables, was busy, when it finally came I was charged $67 for 2 awful mofongos, 1 shrimp the other shrimp and steak and 2 parcha juices (maracuya). Will never go back. What a...

It was my first time going there on Saturday yesterday it was so fantastic. I was recommended by multiple people and one of my therapist told me to come. I’ve never tried and never ate Dominican food, but I’m always willing to try new things and all my God it was so delicious. It was extremely good, I met the owner. She was such a very lovely lady that she owns the restaurant and she was so delightful and very sweet and very personal with us and I was extremely impressed. How the food was so good. I had the Dominican burger my best friend had chicken with some Mofongo, and my mom had some type of fish with Mofongo and oh my God it was delicious. The place was spotless beautiful she even took our orders the owner of the restaurant and I was so happy and they were playing music, music and everything I loved it I most definitely will be coming back again. I recommend it for everybody to come, the atmosphere was fantastic and I will...

The place is easy to find and has plenty of parking space available. When we arrived Aurora made us feel welcomed and at home. The menu has a good variety of Dominican dishes and drinks. To drink I had a Morirsoñando and it tasted so good, like the one made by my abuela back in DR. I chose to eat a Mofongo with Churrasco, and I must say that it was sooooooo good that I cannot describe it with words, you must try this food. My companions had Mondongo and other varieties of Mofongo and we all agreed that this was the best one's we've ever had. I must congratulate Chef Antonio because his sazon was on point. If you are in the area you have to try their food. Thank you Aurora and Antonio for making our...
